It's a....

GIRL!!
We are super excited and are glad everything looked perfect on the ultrasound. The boys are happy with a girl and I am hoping Kathryn and the new little one will be best friends someday.

Christmas Day

Before the chaos began!
Kathryn couldn't wait to get into her gum, and candy.
The boys were super excited for this gift, now they don't always have to fight over what to watch, or play. Plus mom wont always have to watch what they watch.
Kathryn was super excited for her new doll! She has to sleep with her every night, and struggles to carry her around.
The boys got lots of needed clothes, plus some fun movies and wii games.
After we did our Christmas we headed to my Mom and Papa's for breakfast. Papa is always pulling a goofy face.
The kids each got the pillow pets that they wanted and Kathryn just kept jumping on her ladybug. She was a total wild woman. The boys got fun Lego's. They all got camel backs so they will be ready for hiking this summer.





Kathyrn loved her hat from Aunt Jen and the girls.

We then went to Rob's mom's house for more visiting and presents.

After Rob's mom's we went home and gave Kathryn a little nap and the boys started putting together all their Lego's. Then Rob's dad and family came by to visit. The boys got Lego head lamps that are "awesome" and Kathryn got a fun book that has Grandma Tina's voice telling her the story. All in all we had a great Christmas and enjoyed all the family.




Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to Grandmother Carol for a buffet dinner, Christmas program and a few presents. We love going to grandmother's and Robbie was super excited to play his piano piece for the entire extended family.
Kathryn loved riding on Grandmother's wooden rocking horse and had a hard time sharing. But she was more than willing to give me perfect smiles for the camera.


We had a big crew and I didn't get pictures of everybody.

We heard lots of music, singing and of course the Christmas story.
Kathryn was an angel in the nativity, not a very good one as she stole baby Jesus before they even started. It was so funny to see her running as fast as she could into the room with the doll in her arms. Then we hear yelling she stole baby Jesus. So funny!!!
Tanner was a Shepard

Robbie and Westin were both wise men bearing gifts.

We then headed to Rob's mom for a quick hello, sorry no photos as my camera's batteries died.
Then we headed home to have the kids open their pj's.
Love that they actually all smiled for this picture. I think it is the only one of all four of them looking at the camera with out a weird face on at least one kid.

The Nutcracker


Our neighbor and Robbie's good friend was in the nutcracker this year. He was excited to go and see her. We got tickets so that Bryan could come and join us. We had dinner at Christopher's and then headed to capital theater. We got Robbie a cushion and he enjoyed every minute.

Done at last!!

Rob is finally done with school. He got his Masters of Finance from the U of U. I am super excited and love that he is not as stressed anymore. He is due to walk at graduation in May, we will see if that really happens. He doesn't seem to care about it but has some family that think it is a must. He gets his diploma sometime in January, graduated with honors and learned a ton. Great job Babe!!

Ski Lessons



The boys have had ski lessons this last month. They went up the first two Saturday's with Papa and then Dad and Bryan took them the last lesson. They had a ton of fun and are super excited to be done with lessons so that they can just ski "for fun". They are doing very well!! Robbie is the only one I have pictures of because the men forgot about taking pictures until the boys had left for lessons. Oh well hopefully we will get some great photos of them later in the season.


After skiing they really enjoyed getting in grandma's hot tub. Even Kathryn had to join the boys in the hot tub.
Kathryn and Papa where all tuckered out from the long day. Kathryn climbed on to Papa's lap while he was sleeping, he woke up enough to rub her back before they both starting dozing. So cute!!
