This is a family picture of my dad when he was younger. He is the Second on the bottom right. When I saw it I thought it was crazy how much he looks like my son Ayden. The only differance is there haircuts and Ayden is smiling.

I decided it would be a good Idea to get family pictures around the time that Zac was 3 months, because all the kids had grown so much, and I wanted to get pictures of all of them. Siarah decided that she was going to be as grumpy and mean as possible. She mad it nearly imposible to get one picture of her smiling. Luckily she is so cute that it did not matter much. Right after pictures we went to eat and she was the happiest little goofball ever. My kids have such strong personalities!

WOW, it has been a really long time since I have updated my blog! Doubt anyone is even following it any more. Lots has happened since the last update so I will try to catch up.

I had my third baby (Zachery Ross) on Febuary 3rd of 2010. I made the decision to be induced because I live 30 minutes from the nearest hospital, and I dont feel my contractions till I am a 7 or 8, needless to say that I had no desire to have my baby in the car. It is a good thing that I made that decision because when I hit an 8 at the hospital I was ready to push within 2 minutes and then the baby was out in 10 minutes. He was a Heathy baby boy at 7 lb and 19 inches.

Fortunitly for me I have a wonderful Mom that only lives 10 minutes away. She was over at my house everyday, all day for a month helping me out. Cooking, Cleaning, and helping with the kids. I can't tell you how greatfull I am for my amazing parents.

A few more picture of Siarah

Play time with Daddy

Ayden loves to restle and roll around Zeb when ever he gets home from work. Here is a picture of Ayden balancing on Zebs hands. He has very good balance and is always so proud of himself. He makes sure to look around and find me to have me give him the praise that he feels he deserves.

Laughing!!!

Siarah loves to watch her brother! It is so much easier for Ayden to make her laugh then it is for us. Earlier in the Day when Zeb was at work me and Ayden were playing tug of war with a blanket and Siarah started to laugh hysterically, harder than I had ever heard her laugh before. Ayden noticed and got a huge Smile on his face, he was happy to keep helping her laugh. Ayden started to laugh at her too and it was so cute because they were both laughing at eachother. This lasted for about 5 minutes until Ayden got warn out. When Zeb got home we tried to recreate the moment but it definitly did not work out the same. Ayden was too distracted by the camera to really get into it and Siarah was not laughing as hard. But here is the video that we tried to recreate for you.

Pictures of Siarah

Well I have been waiting to get Siarah's Pictures for a while now and I must say that it was worth the wait. The photographer (Skye Johansen) got so many cute shots of her even though she was horrible durring the session. Here are just some of the great pics of my beautiful baby girl.

Christmas in Boise

This year we spent Christmas in Boise with Zebs family. Ayden had so much fun and we were excited to show off Siarah to all the family. We stayed with Zeb's grandparents they are amazing hosts, Shirlene is one of the best cooks ever and she makes sure that you are always full of yummy food. Zeb always get everly spoiled there and then has to come home and deal with my cooking (or lack of). Ayden loves his great grandparents and luckily for us they are patient enuff to put up with us. We love them and appreciate there hospitality. Ayden, like always had lots of fun with Whitney but unfortunitly by the end of the trip she ended up sick. We had a wanderful time and look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

would take the tools that Toni got him and act like he was

fixing his bike. Something he has seen his Dad do with his

snowmobile.

Dress Up!

One of Ayden's favorite things to do is find random clothes and other things around the house and bring them to me to put on him. I just wanted to show you a few of the outfits he has put together for himself. I really hope his taste in clothing improves when he gets older!

Weekend Fun With Family

Last weekend Zac (Zebs Brother) and his family came to visit. Ayden had so much fun with Whitney and she was so cute with him. They would walk around the house holding hands and he would follow her everywhere. Zeb and Zac play with the kids in the leaves and would drag them around in the wheelbarrow, they thought that was the funnest thing ever. It seemed like they were always laughing. Avery is now sitting up and trying to crawl. She's such a beautiful, chunky baby and I just wanted to squeeze her the whole time she was here. She loved her uncle Zeb and would laugh hysterically at him. Zac and Lisa said that they had never seen her laugh so hard. Ayden had a blast with his cousins and was sad to see them leave. It was a fast trip but we enjoyed the visit and look forward to seeing them at Christmas.

Happy Halloween

The original plan that I had for costumes was to have Ayden be a Monkey and Siarah be a banana. But like with evertthing that I do I waited till last minute so all the costumes were sold out and I had to settle for a Bunny and a bananna costume. Ayden had a great time. I took him to our wards Trunk or Treat and he was a little confused at first, but once he figured out that people were throwing candy into his bag he was all about it. Plus he knew how cute he in his costume.

Walking In Daddy's Shoes

Ayden LOVES his Daddy and feels very strongly that whatever dad does he also needs to do. So when dad got his new snowmobile boots and was trying them on Ayden insisted that he too needed to put them on. He couldn't move his legs at all while in them but sure thought he was cool when they were on. He spent most of the rest of the night having us put them on and take them off.

Gammy came to visit!

Gammy Toni came to visit for the weekend. It was a short trip, but we really enjoyed having her here. Ayden loved playing with her and chasing her dog around, and Siarah loved being held all the time. We look forward to seeing her again soon.

Taste Of His Own Medicine!!!

Many of you know that Zeb talks in his sleep and that I have been startled awake on many occasions. Well, both of my kids have inherited this lovely trait from there dad. In fact the first time that I ever heard Ayden laugh it was while he was sleeping. So last night while I was up feeding Siarah I heard a high pitch, loud scream from Ayden. I had heard him making noise many times so I just figured that he was doing this in his sleep. Unfortunately for Zeb he was not so familiar with Ayden's sleeping habits. He was sleeping peacefully right beside him and woke up in horror. Thinking that something was wrong with him he quickly jumped up to make sure everything was okay and had not fallen out of bed or something. He soon realized that everything was fine and Ayden was sleeping peacefully. Finally! Now Zeb knows how I felt all those times. Needless to say I have been laughing about it all day.

The Best Sister Ever!

Because my mommy is millions of miles away my sister Arah has come to take care of me this week. It has been so nice to have her here to help. Gavin has been a great help too. He's kept Ayden very entertained and is enamored with his new cousin. Thanks for taking care of me sis!

We feel so blessed to have this sweet girl join our family.
