Baptism at Bear Lake!

 Playing with the Moldy Cousins at the Cabin
 Baptism Presents
 My Own Scriptures!

 Now this is a lot of little kids to feed!
 Braxtons cousin is 2 weeks older. So, since Braxton was blessed in Bear Lake, we came back to do a dual baptism with his cousin who lives there now.  It was such a fun weekend.
 He looks so grown up!
 Grandma and Grandpa stayed extra long and made the extra trip to come up and see Braxton get baptized. I know it meant a lot to him to have them come.

Christmas In November

 The kids were soooo excited to put the tree up. It's going to be a long month!
 My parents, being in town, had their christmas party a few days after thanksgivng. It was fun to get into the christmas spirit right away. The kids loved getting presents. :)
 With all the family in town we enjoyed a fun pizza night. This restaurant had a fireplace...Madi flipped out when she saw it. I hope that will go away. Atleast maybe it won't happen again. Right?!
 Enjoying the Mall playland. ...and she loves her new "Pink Gloves"...Thanks to Grandpa! Grandpa got lots of colors of wraps. But, she had to have the Pink! What a girl.

Thanksgiving 2010

 Loving a "Real Baby"...new cousin Rylee!
 Kids end of the table....love being with their cousins!
 Girl Tea Party! With nice, real china!
 Sledding outside behind the ATV. This has been Braxtons favorite thing this winter. Hope we get some more snow!

 So, my poor accident prone daughter the day after thanksgiving my sister and I went out shopping for the day after sales. Mike and Grandpa were watching football/babysitting. We ended up having to cut our shopping trip short. Madi put both hands on the wood burning stove. Poor girl, it was the saddest thing. She was crying so hard....and for hours. Luckily, my doctor sister was flying into town about when it happened. So, she was able to help and save us a expensive trip to the emergency room. It was a tough couple days.

 Playing with cousins...love it!
 Making Christmas Cookies
 Our little Princesses!

 Daddy's little Girl. I love this pic!
 Her poor little hands a few days after it happened. Can you say...OUCH!

 I don't know if we ever decided what Madi was...a watermelon? a fairy? anyone know? It was cute so i bought it. :)
 Braxton picked a Black Ninja..since he would love to take Karate...which might never happen.

Texas

  The end of September we were able to go to Texas to visit Mikes Parents who are serving as Mission Presidents for 3 Years. When they left, Maddie was just a few months old. It was fun to be with them for a week and we thank them for a wonderful week that we will never forget! Besides going on a fun airplane rides, the kids, and us enjoyed going to Nasa, Kemah Boardwalk, lots of walks, chuckee cheeses, the temple, go swimming, visiting galveston...and more.

Kemah Boardwalk was so much fun! It was right on the water, we went on a weekday so there was no one there. It was nice, we could ride the rides over and over again. We were there all day. They had a splash pad, and lots of amusement rides. A lot of the fun shops were closed for the season but we still had a blast.

Braxton and Grandma
 This was Wesley and Braxton's favorite ride. They rode it a good dozen or so times. You couldn't help it but laugh at Wesley, he was laughing so hard it was so funny.

 Maddie got her money worth on this double decker carousel ride. She rode it over and over again. I think she rode every animal it had....and more.  I ended up making her ride it by herself a few times...i got really sick of going in circles! :)
