8 Months

This little munchkin turned 8 months!  While at the tree house I used there nice floor and chalk boards to document :)  He is such a good baby minus the whole month of December where he had a cough and runny nose the WHOLE month.  We finally got that figured out and found out he was dealing with a double ear infection.  Yeah no wonder he was a bit grumpy.
- Sleeps through the night as of the last week :)  I finally decided it was time no more feedings for him
-Laughs at his silly sisters a lot
-Wants to crawl, but we don't really want that
-Eats everything!  Loves food
-Loves Ice cream especially

Treehouse Museum

McKell had another field trip the other day to the tree house museum.  It was a lot of fun for them but too much for me haha.  Keeping track of those two and I took another little boy did me in. Haha  But can you guess what their favorite thing to play with was?  Yep you guessed it the DOLLS!  They could have played there the whole time but the said little boy was less than impressed with that section.  Therefore I had to force them out of there and explore everything else.  I love that these girls love baby dolls so so much.

Indoor Soccer

My awesome friend Heidi put together a indoor soccer team, and me and my sis Kristy played on it.  It was so fun, we only won a few games but it was such a good time.  Such good exercise and it brought back my love for soccer. 

Sledding

Taylee finally likes sledding!  I was always surprised last year that she was too scared.  She is a tough girl but the funnies things scare her.  McKell begged and begged for me to take her, so finally I did it.  Left the car on so Zander could sleep and went down with the girls.  It was fun the perfect sized hill for me.

Warm January

 They think their four wheeler is pretty hard core.  Taylee likes to take it on all the big bumps of snow and gets stuck a lot. 

 Her hair fits in pig tails isn't it adorable!

The other day she got real daring and thought she could ride her 4-wheeler backwards oh man we better stick with the battery operated haha

Bear Lake

This year for Christmas my parents paid for this awesome house up in Bear Lake that my sister in law found.  It was HUGE!!  9,000 square feet huge (our house is 1600 sq ft)  They had a slide to each floor for the kids or the adults too.  There was a trampoline, basketball court, playground, pool, air hockey, theatre room.  To say the least no one was ever bored.  We stayed 2 nights up there ate a lot, slept very little, and laughed a ton.  We found an awesome sledding hill.  I have turned into quite the whimp, McKell dares to go down the hills that I don't anymore.  Oh dear.  Mom got most of the pictures but her are the few I took.

Christmas hoopla

 We were at Smith and Edwards one day and Santa was there.  McKell was super excited to sit on his lap and Taylee was too until it was almost our turn.  Haha I didn't force her for the funny picture although I really wanted to :)

 Our Christmas Sunday dress, it is really hard to get 3 kids smiling at the same time I tell ya

 Barker Family Christmas party Taylee and McKell were angels in the nativity

 Opening Pajamas on Christmas Eve, Zander is so excited can't ya tell

 Getting ready to make Ginger Bread Houses on Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpas house

 She is pretty serious about her decorating skills

 Christmas Morning Fun!  The girls didn't get up until 8 A.M.  I keep counting my lucky stars that they don't get up super early yet. :)

 They love each other can't ya tell.  I love them too, look how cute they are

 They got their 4-wheeler, not what Jeremy wanted to get them but what we could afford this year.  They have loved it!

 Zander got all the important stuff for Christmas!  His first tie isn't that the cutest think you have ever seen, even better Jeremy has a matching one.

New Years Eve the only picture I took.  Poor Maverik haha  We partied at the church with Jeremy's family and said our last goodbyes to the Andersons who were on their way back to Alabama the next day sad sad

Santa Came

We had a great Holiday season!  Sad to see it come to an end, but can't wait for spring :)  These are the pictures from my phone I will have to do a full update when I have my camera.  Aren't these girls CUTE!

Very Bad day

Monday before Christmas, I had the worst day ever.  Taylee was on one of her cry all day, get into everything, make a mess everywhere, and just be a stink.  Well I had left her with Zander while I ran to help McKell with something and I hear Zander screaming.  So I rush to the living room and he was laying on Taylee with a big ole gash in his nose.  It just topped off my day of heck.  I have no clue what she was doing or what he did but she just said he hit his head.  Oh poor boy I hope you survive your older sisters

 This was the best part of that day, even if it was 4:00 I was just happy she was there

This is his nose a week later, looking much better but he may have an awesome scar to show for it.

Roy city lights

We didn't make it out to see all the lights that I wanted to this year.  Perhaps it had to do with the freezing weather, and having a little baby.  But one night we did make it out to look at these awesome lights, Roy does an awesome display and the kids loved it.
