New Years Eve 2010

We had a fun new years! We started at our in laws and the kids made homemade pizzas and we played ping pong tournaments! Then we went to my fams! My mom had decorated the house so cute and he had a chinese new year!! :) We played games and rung in the new year. It was super fun and I am so excited for the new year!!

 The kids and Gramy suprised everyone with silly string and made a huge mess! They loved it!

Halees first toast! (yes it was apple martinelli) and she couldn't get enough!

Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas! We had Christmas eve dinner at my fams! It was delicious! Then we opened pjs and presents with my family! We headed to the inlaws and did presents with them. then we headed home to leave cookies and milk for santa and read the kids scriptures nativity story. Christmas morning we opened presents and went to hang out with family! We went on a sleigh ride with the Chapa side and had another wonderful dinner at my fams with all the siblings. Then the guys all had a b-ball game which was a lot of fun to watch. We had a wonderful holiday and so grateful to celebrate the birth of the Savior and spend time with family, especially George and the kids.

 Us in our Christmas pjs!

 Beautiful little girl cousins!!

 Briella got a lot of baby stuff! A new dolly and a high chair and stroller cart.

Halee 10 Months!

Halee is 10 months! I can't believe it! At 10 months she can take up to 10 steps at a time and stands all the time! She eats pretty much whatever we eat and can drink from a straw and has been able to for a month or two now. She says mama, dada, lala ("bella"), uh oh! She loves playing where's Halee? and scrunching her face so cute! I am loving this stage she is getting cuter everyday!

I LOVE this baby!!

BEHIND!!!

I know I have gotten way behind in blogging! Gosh how does that happen!! :) I have been super busy and then to top it off our internet hasn't been working for months!!! So I plan to catch up and be better! I promise! We have been great! Our christmas and new years was amazing and I am excited to start a new year with my sweet little family! And sad to see my kids get another year older!! I love my 3 kiddos and my amazing husband!

Suprise Bag

Briella has really been enjoying kindergarten. Instead of show and tell they do a "suprise bag" where you pick something you want to take to school and write three clues and everyone has to guess. Well today was Briella's turn and she was so excited!!!

 She took her play camera! :) My old polaroid camera, she pretends she's taking pics. She says she wants to be a photographer!! She is so funny. She really thinks she is taking pics with it!

 Well the computer is being weird and wont let me turn this! Oh well you get the picture! :)

Ramona and Beezus

So my mom took Briella to see the movie, Ramona and Beezus this past weekend. Well this morning Briella woke up crying that she NEEDS a big sister! It's NOT FAIR that she didn't get a big sister! I tried to explain to her that I didn't get a big sister either! That me and her were SPECIAL because we were the big sisters! Yeah that didn't work! She still bawled, literally, her eyes out that she needed a big sister. i suggested that she just pick some one she like to be her big sister, like Timber. So did Grandma. So now she decided that her and Timber could be Ramona and Beezus, only Briella gets to be Beezus (cuz Selena Gomez is Beezus!).

and she said "mean Ramona moved away!"  :) so just Halee and Beezus live here now!

Halee is 7 months!

Okay, boy does time fly! I swear i just posted about her 6 months and its now seven months! Where has the seven months gone!! It seems like I just had the little sweetheart!! :) Halee is getting so fun! She loves to play and get attention! She is SO smiley!! She eats everything babyfood! She also eats graham crackers and animal crackers and cheerios. She can get everywhere she wants by scooting and rolling. She gets up on all fours and rocks but then just decides to scoot! She is starting to get brave and pull herself up on things. She loves feet! I think its disgusting! But she loves to grab and try to eat peoples bare feet!! :) She got her lower two teeth in 3 weeks ago and they are staring to show when she smiles! She gives kisses and high fives and thinks she's funny! She says momma at me when I put her down for a nap or leave her on the living room floor! She is such a sweetie and we really enjoy her!!

 Taken Sept. 15! We got her a toothbrush for her pearly whites!! :)

*You roll every where like crazy! You can get anywhere you want to go by rolling!

*You love your solids! You LOVE peas with rice! Go figure! Your the first of my kids to actually like it! You have tasted bananas, pears, applesauce, sweetpotatoes and peas. You like rice and oatmeal. I let you tase a little apple juice with water and you went to town with that bottle! You are really good with eating!

*You are getting amazing with your hands! You grab everything and bring it to your mouth! You feed yourself baby rice cookies.

*Your fav place to play is in the kids room on the train carpet! You love watching the kids in there.

* You can get up on you knees and push forward! I am sure you'll be learning to crawl soon!!

*You like to slap things to make noise.

* You are already a drama queen! Lately when you roll and you bonk into something ever so softly you react like its the end of the world!!! So funny!

*You love to swing on the swingset! In fact usually after dinner we go out there and you fall asleep in the swing!
