three boys and a little lady

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010!!
We had a nice quiet "Party" at home tonight with boys...midnight came at 10:00pm, we had our favorite treat (pazookies with magic shell), toasted to the new year with sparkling apple cider, and we even wrote down some goals for the new year...

Austin's goals included: read all the goosebumps books by the end of the year, play good in "machine-pitch" baseball this year, serve others.
Cade's goals: Learn to write his first and last name really good, and score seven goals every soccer game instead of six.
Our goals for Dax this year: in a big boy bed, potty trained (maybe- I am so bad at this)...
Family goals (according to the boys): go to Disleeland, Huwai, get ulong better, skriptrs, (as austin wrote down)and cade said we should "get a girl baby!" I don't know where that came from- I guess I could get him a doll!!
My goals are to for sure get our backyard done along with several others....

The last few days we spent up in Idaho with my family. My mom and dad got some condos up in Driggs right by Grand Targee ski resort. Austin and Cade got to ski for the first time- and we had fun playing with the cousins...Thanks for the fun MOM and DAD!!


Lots of kids in a confined area equals creative play where ever it can be found. They loved playing in the closet on the shelf, and for some reason pushing the coffee table from room to room was SUPER FUN...

Christmas party...Acting out the manger scene. We had a bird, a donkey, and a cow... and a suprise visitor. Dax was terrified of santa!!

Austin was the elf in his school program. He was so excited and he did really good except he didn't crack a smile the WHOLE time! And he wouldn't look at anyone...not sure where the stage fright came from!
Cade's classic pouty face because he didn't get his way...
a memorable moment by dax. I woke up one morning to him putting a whole box of pads in the toilet..His new obsession is toilets and unfortunalty he can open doors so now just shutting the door won't keep him out...
and I had to post a pic of his new best friend! He loves Uncle MATT. Ever since we went to Australia he has decided that he loves matt. He even runs to him when he sees him. If any of you know Dax, you know that there aren't many on his list of favorites...but Matt, you are one of them!
