Fun with Friends

Good friends of ours had free tickets to the Jazz game (before all the fun players were gone!) and we had a blast! Cyrus loved it. We rode the Frontrunner... How cute is this?! During our primary meeting Cyrus and Kiya pretended to be the chorister and pianist, which is funny because they're both only in nursery. So cute. Cyrus with his friend Owen. He's been so glad they moved back!

Our cute kiddos

I just wanted to put some pics up of Bentley and her helmet. She's starting to really get used to the idea of it, although she still sweats like crazy when she sleeps. But even though she's getting better, her favorite time of day is still the hour she gets to have it off. Mine too. We finally get to cuddle with her like a regular baby. :)

Cyrus is still getting used to having her around. We had to bribe him to get this close. Kids are so funny sometimes.





She loves this little puppy.

And loves her hands! I cannot keep them out of her mouth. Oh well, at least its not a thumb. She doesn't love her bop, but she has tracheomalacia and a tiny throat and sinuses so I think it's hard for her to breathe and suck at the same time.

Christmas and New Years

Christmas morning was really fun this year. Santa did a pretty good job with Cyrus' presents. He liked all of them and had fun playing. He especially liked his tractors. You can tell by the look on his face. :)

Bentley didn't make it long. She's used to waking up at 6 and then going back to bed, not staying up to open presents. But she did look super cute with her christmas bow. Thanks Miranda!


For New Years every year we go out to Travis' moms and spend the night. We have tons of food, crab for dinner (Yum!) and play games and watch movies. It was a lot of fun. We danced the night away on the Wii, stayed up way too late, and thekids got up way too early. :)

Bentley spent most of the evening sleeping. Our little miss just loves her sleep.


We were all exhausted by the end of the night. You can sure tell huh? :)

Cyrus loved staying up late and clinking our cups.

Christmas...

I gotta say the magic of Christmas is definitely bigger with kids! Cyrus was so in to Santa this year. We saw him 3 times at the mall. He began by telling him he wanted toys (as a parent I LOVE that answer!), then the week of Christmas he was so upset after we went to buy Bryker's birthday present (a nerf gun) and Cyrus decided he needed on for Christmas and Santa didn't know. So because it was almost Christmas he got to call Santa and tell him what he wanted. Thanks Spence, we owe you bigtime!

Christmas Eve we went to Hogle Zoo with my brother and sisters and had a ball. There weren't many people there and the animals were so excited to see the kids. The gorillas were doing fun tricks, and when the trainer came out she was having them do even more. She asked Cyrus to put his hand up on the glass so the gorilla would play and put his next to it, and he said, "No I'm not a monkey!" We had so much fun.

Bent spent most of the time in the stroller like this, or being held. It was pretty cold for a little one, and her plastic helmet gets really cold, but she was a trooper.
