Latest going's on in our cRaZY life!!

Dance Recital
Bailee & Kenadee
I put them in the same place just for my sanity reasons. That way dress rehearsals are easier and dance recitals, but they both enjoy their classes and there favorite part about dance which those that know me they don't get this from me, is being on stage performing. They LOVE it!!
Kenadee was a little bubble bee, she got her antennas at the recital that night.
Here are some shots of her dancing (these pictures are really from the dress rehearsal) at the recital I took video, but same dance so there you go.

She is our little dancer, she has done it now for 3 years and loves it.

Bailee is in a Jazz class, she did that one because of a friend of hers that wanted her in her class.

Final Pose for Bailee, the great thing about Bailee is because she is soooo short she is always in the front, so I can always get a better picture of her.

More Dancin'
Kenadee Braces
I took her in for an evaluation and the ortho decided that she needed to do braces on her top teeth because of the way that they were starting to move backwards and going to be causing her jaw problems in the future. So we decided to do braces to pull them forward. She was so brave getting them put on, after she said that it didn't hurt at all.

What a CutIE!!!

BEAR LAKE
Our favorite place to go with our family, now when I say our family that includes my entire family. We play games, Rock Band this year (thanks to Stef & Rich), eat, swim, eat, and more swimming. Now that the kids are getting older and easier to watch in the pool we spend hours at the pool. Thank heavens for an indoor pool.
These two are the best of friends. I don't know what we would do if we didn't have Hunter to play with Curtis. They get along so well!! Cousins are great, reminds me of growing up with my cousins and swimming in my grandparents pool.

Now for the girls! Even the girls get along, the one on the left is my adorable niece Jade who is Jakes age. We have a bunch of water bugs, we had to beg and bribe to get them to get out of the pool sometimes. The good thing about them swimming so much is that we didn't have a whole lot of fighting when it was time for bed, unless you were my 2 year old, but that is another story!!!!

Bailee was such a great helper with the younger ones in the pool! If they would drift to far she would go out and get them or dive for the toys that they would drop.

Here are the CRAZY girls. My sister and I have decided that we would rather have the boys than the girls because they are soooo animated and loud. Still we are very grateful that they get along so well.

Curtis off in his own little world playing some game with a diving torpedo, and he wasn't afraid to dive down after it.

Speaking of crazy this one is purely crazy, I think that he forgets that he is only 2 and can't swim. He has learned that he can't go in the big pool or the hot tub without his tube around him. He has really learned how to get around in that tube this year. The only pool he could go in without his tube was the kiddy pool which is only 2 feet deep. Crazy but cute, good thing he is cute!!

Thanks Mom & Dad for taking us again to Bear Lake, greatest trip ever. Love to spend time with my siblings and their families playing games, being crazy and just eating as much as we can. Thanks everyone for such a great trip this year!!!!

Little of this & a little of that!

CHRISTMAS DAY
Yep, I am always behind in posting, 2010 I am hoping to be better! Anyway this is going to be another long post, not because I have so much wisdom to bestow upon you but because well let's face it 4 kids + Pictures of said kids= long post.
This post is starting with most recent and working its way back, which really is just Christmas day and Christmas Eve. This is Jon's parents opening new 4 wheeler goggles to go riding which we were kind enough to get them some, but weren't thinking at the time and didn't get us any.
Boy Grandkids in new PJ'S from Grandma & Grandpa
Girl Grandkids in their new PJ'S also from Grandma & Grandpa
Jake is really into praying right now and believe me, he needs it. Anyway this is him before opening a present.

All the kids on the Wight side waiting as patiently as they can to be able to open their presents.

CHRISTMAS DAY
(OUR HOUSE)
This is what Santa brought Curtis, as you can see he was quite thrilled!
Jake got his own remote control train, which for some reason he has a very hard time leaving it put together. Once he is done he LOVES to take it apart.

This is what Santa brought the girls, this is all that they talked about, so way to go Santa! I think, I am not so sure about all the electronic things that they are wanting now adays.

Before the children all descend upon it. We had a great year!!

Santa's gift for the family, the kids are so excited for the snow to melt so that they can get out and play.

The AFTERMATH!!

CHRISTMAS EVE
(at Grandma Teeples House)

You are all probably wondering what in the world, and it never really dawned on me until Jon came into the family that it is a little weird. Let me explain, well long story short we don't have a lot of spiritual stuff on this side so because my grandma knows that the reason for the season is Jesus she made this paper cake with 11 candles (one for each grandkid) and while we are singing Happy Birthday to Jesus each grandkid lights a candle. This used to be the only spiritual part of Christmas that we would get over there, until my mom got enough costumes for the younger kids to now act out the nativity. So here our my 4 kids, my sisters 3, my brothers 1, and my cousins 2 kids acting it out. They sure are cute!

The little shephard, acting more like one of his sheep.

We also have another tradition that we have been doing since my first Christmas. This is one of my favorite traditions. Each year my aunt comes up with an ornament that we make and put our picture on the ornament so needless to say we have hundreds of ornaments for my grandma's tree that are all homemade. The best part is going back and looking at all our pictures over the years. This year since the family is getting so big we made one ornament per family so Curtis was so excited to make it for us this year!

CHRISTMAS EVE
(at Websters)

Presents and more presents!

My girls with their stuffed dogs and carrying case. They love these!

Little boy that loves cars!

As you can see we acted it out twice on this Christmas eve. First at my parents then that night at my grandmas.

Jake and Jade as the wisemen!

Our little heavenly angels-Kenadee and Sage

I love this picture Bailee and Curtis as Mary and Joseph. The best is the look on Curtis's face I don't think he is quite sure about this!

BURNINGHAM CHRISTMAS PARTY
Meetin the BIG GUY
SANTA
Bailee above, Kenadee below
This is Jake's first time at meeting the big guy, he wasn't so sure when he showed up, so Jon had to wait in line with him and then after watching the other kids I guess he thought that he was safe.
Curtis
Hope you all had a great Christmas, I know we did and am sad to see it go so soon. On to another great year!!
