Busy in the Kitchen

Here Ammon is enjoying his first ever beater licking...

He is obsessed with the dishwasher. I can't open the thing without him coming running from wherever he is to attack the silverware. He is very persistent and I'm learning I'm better off doing dishes (and a lot of other things!) when he is either asleep or in his high chair!

Uh, what's the weight limit on this thing?

Happy Birthday Ammon!

Ammon turned One Year Old Saturday! It's so hard to believe he's already that big! He was so cute all day and he knew he was getting special treatment. He loved the balloons, gifts, and as you can see he loved his cake! He insisted on having a spoon! Happy Birthday little guy!

Disneyland, anyone?

So we are planning a trip to Disneyland this fall (sometime in October) and are looking for some travelling buddies! Disneyland is always more fun with friends & much more manageable too (trading rides / kids is a must!) Let us know if you are interested...you have time to save up! (Tax returns are just around the corner too!) We can't wait to go to the happiest place on Earth!

4th Folder, 4th Picture

This was Holly on her first birthday...she had a fever and didn't feel well but Daddy was trying to help her feel "better" by feeding her birthday cake. You can see it in her eyes, poor little thing!

Happy 2009!

I wrote my first check of the new year today and it was so weird to write "2009"! We had a fun New Year's Eve - we got a babysitter and went out to dinner to Olive Garden & played games with some friends... Of course I don't have pictures of anything...maybe that should be my new year's resolution - to always have my camera with me....

Then we stayed up with another couple and started played Batman Lego. We totally got sucked into it and played until 1:30 a.m. I think we forgot that we're not in college anymore! I especially noticed when my kids woke up bright and early the next morning!

New Year's Day was spent playing games and trying to avoid all the treats still left in the house. We also grouted the tile backsplash in our kitchen, and Mark made these cute trivets with the extras...(with Ella's help).

Christmas Eve & Christmas Morning

Christmas morning is so much fun with little ones...we were amazed everyone slept in until 7:30! We sure enjoyed a wonderful day!

Ammon got this great ball blowing toy...you can tell at first he wasn't too sure what to think, but he quickly decided it was lots of fun!

Santa left wigs, gloves and wings for the girls to play dress-ups with...
they were both excited to get all glammed up.

Josh got a fun set of building cards...his first project was a pirate ship of course

I totally pirated these pictures from Steph...we had a really nice Christmas Eve with Mark's family; "A Night in Bethlehem." We all dressed up, had a wonderful "period" meal, a candlelight nativity, caroling with an accordian, and family togetherness...Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Bishop for a fun and meaningful evening!
