Christmas 2008

What a great Christmas 2008 it has been. It all started with my mom's fabulous Christmas party which consisted of Amazing Race and lots of great presents. Then it was my Grandma Reid's party (boring), my Grandma Hansen's party full of fun sledding, warm fire, and great company. Finally we ended our parting at the Larsen's where the kids got to open PJ's!
Christmas morning was the best. Kade LOVED all of his toys, although he informed me that Santa forgot a race car track! His favorite toys were his train track, trampoline, and roller coaster ride. Tyce loved everything. He went from one toy to the next and didn't stop playing all day. His favorite toy was his musical jungle. My favorite toy was my new fat baby boots, my new Nike's and my new camera. Kyle got a gun and new binoculars.
Christmas was great! I am sad that it is already over. I hope that you all had a fun Christmas too!

Christmas Morning

Christmas Party #1

This past Sunday was my mom's famous Christmas party. To start off the day we played Amazing Race. My mom had all of these clues and road blocks hidden all over town for us to accomplish with our team. For instance, we had to find clues in balloons, shoot hoops at the Elementary school, pull each other around a barrel with a 4-wheeler and a sled at the farm, toss Frisbee's through tires, have someone take a picture of us by a Christmas scene, and make snow angels in the Senior Citizen Center lawn. We were all separated into teams and I was stuck with two small children. My team ended up coming in very last place but we had a blast.

Our next event of the day was a huge lunch followed by games and a talent show at the Jr. High. After we had wore ourselves clear out, we went back to my moms for presents and more food. The party was so much fun. Thanks mom for all the hard work!

Kade got this bike from my mom for Christmas but I think that Tyce is going to fight him for it.

Tyce's Birthday Party

Today was Tyce's birthday party. I decided to have a bug birthday and it turned out to be so much fun. We played all sorts of bug games and I made a super cute caterpillar cake. The birthday party was a hit. Thanks to all of Tyce's cousins for coming to the party.

Tyce thought that his cake was pretty cool

Tyce got a lot of cool presents

Tyce's favorite part about his birthday was eating the cake and ice cream. He had 2 pieces of cake, and 2 scoops of ice cream. Good thing Grandma Jo was there to help him eat it.

Happy 1st Birthday Tyce

Today is Tyce's first birthday. I can't believe how fast he has grown. I can remember when he was born like it was yesterday.

Tyce has been such a joy to our family. I don't know what we would have done without him. He has the cutest personality ever. He is so happy-go- lucky and is quite the tease. He loves to play with Kade and he loves the horses. He is always smiling with his cute little smile and his laugh is addicting. We love you little guy!!

Swimming and Sledding

Yesterday we went swimming at the Wave Pool in Price for Kyle's work party. We had all the Pizza we could eat and Santa came too. We had a lot of fun.
Today we decided to go out and play in the snow. Kyle pulled the kids around with the 4-wheeler after Kade helped Kyle plow the snow in the driveway.

Tyce wasn't a huge fan of riding on the sled, but he gave it a good try.

Tyce is walking...Hooray!

Tyce has been walking for a few weeks now, I just couldn't get a video to upload until now. Anyway, I can't believe that he is already walking. He is getting so big. Way to go bud!

Our Week

So again we went fishing this week and it was colder than ever. Kade and Kyle decided to brave the cold wind and icy temperature, but Tyce and I stayed in the truck where is was nice and warm.

Tyce making faces while we waited for Kade and Kyle to catch some fish.

I also wanted to add these photo's of Kade hiding in the laundry (he thought that he was pretty cool) and of Tyce and Kyle goofing around. I just love my boys....and I think that they are pretty cute too!

I finally got Tyce walking on video, but it won't let me upload the video on blogger...has anyone else had this problem?
