Spencer and cousins!

If you have ever met my family, we are basketball people. The legacy continues with Spencer, the oldest grandchild (16 on Dec. 13th), down to Hayden, the youngest (#27 grandchild)! Everyone loves Spencer and he is great with other kids. He is twice their size and a blast to hang out with! Wait 'til you see how this ends...

Are you tired?

When I get tired, I usually have weird contests with my kids. Curt was already asleep when we did this, so he couldn't stop this!
These are blackmail pictures for when my kids start to date. You know, "Do (this) or I will show your date THE picture!"

I had gotten only 4 hours of sleep the previous night and the lights in the house were off, so we tried to see if we could hold our eyes open when the camera flashed...

Don't say that I didn't warn you...

Happy Birthday Cole!

It's my nephew Cole's 6th Birthday! Have a good one little man! Cole is my little sister, Jenny's oldest son. He is a riot and keeps me laughing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN!

Hayden turned 1 today! Grandma and Grandpa Mellor came down from Globe and stopped by to give Hayden his present. They gave him the cutest "Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer". Its nose lights up and it sings the Rudolph song. He loves it! He also really liked the gift bag it came in, (such a 1 year old thing). After Daddy came home, we had dinner and then we opened presents. He got a Elmo and Cookie Monster ball that giggles and shakes, alligator piano, and a rolling snail toy. He figured out that these are his toys. He loves them so much that if you try to take them, the tantrum starts. (Please don't laugh at my lightsaber noises, that's just what we do here.)

The tradition at our house is that if it is your birthday, you get to lick the spoon... so, he got it and made a fun mess. Instead of having a cake though, we thought brownies would be less clean-up, considering we had to already clean him up once, from the spatula licking. Here is a group of pictures from the day, plus a great one of Aaron with a grin. We Love You Hayden!

Did you hear that?

We came out of Target, got in the car and when the car turned on, the DVD player was running. We were quickly reminded that the movie that was playing was "Elf"... This was the exact scene that popped on. Curt thought that it was Alyssa and was slightly impressed, I thought it was Aaron and was ready to climb in the back and duct tape his mouth. After we realized that it was the movie, all of us broke out laughing.



P.S. For those of you who remember Karla Passey from the ward a long time ago, her link has been added to the Happy Chatter people. There are some pictures from her wedding to Manuel Bustamante. Yep, she just got married!

Alyssa's baptism

Last Saturday was Alyssa's baptism. She shared this special day with one of her best friends, Lilli Edholm. It was such a wonderful and spiritual event. I was grateful that my parents were home from their mission and that my dad was able to give a talk about the Holy Ghost. Alyssa looked so beautiful and clean in her white dress.

Happy Boy!

We found Aaron's old Pooh Bear swing in the storage unit when we cleaned it out, hence the mess in the background. We never thought Hayden would get so happy about it!
