Bunk Beds




Discovering...





the HUGE Big Boy Beds!!! Jeremiah and Gideon are pretty pleased with their new beds!!!! Jeremiah wants to be on the top bunk, but luckily he comes and asks us to help him up there each time he wants to get up, and he goes to sleep on the bottom bunk really well! I'm very pleased how well the beds turned out and how well the boys like them and are safe on them!!!! Hopefully the boys will continue to be safe on the beds!!!

The Best...




Inexpensive Christmas Gift...a very long box!!! Jeremiah discovered this box and enjoyed crawling through it for about 30 to 45 min. What a crazy kid!!!!

More Gifts





The boys are totally stoked to have Cheez-It Crackers to snack on! Jeremiah got some with Cars characters on them and Gideon got some with the alphabet on them!!! The other picture is Gideon holding up the Eye Spy Computer game!

Opening Gifts






Little Jeremiah loved to rip the wrapping paper so much that he wanted to help Gideon open his gifts as well! Gideon was a good sport about it and let Jeremiah help! They are so cute together and can share and be good friends most of the time!!! I'm so grateful for that!!! The boys received slippers (Gideon-Bear Slippers and Jeremiah-Monkey Slippers), flip over car, legos, potato heads, Ball Tree-house, tractors, and lots of matching and puzzle games (the last picture shows them opening a treasure chest that has five games/puzzles in it)! They have enjoyed playing the games multiple times each day since Christmas! Thank you all for the wonderful gifts this Christmas!!!

Santa Gifts






Here are the boys on christmas morning checking out their gifts from Santa! The PJs that they are wearing are the ones that they opened on Christmas Eve!

Santa has two new reindeer!!!





At story-time this past week, the boys had a surprise visitor, Santa!!! (Jeremiah was more interested in getting the candy cane from Santa)! They also got the opportunity to make these really cute reindeer hats! Gideon and Jeremiah call them, "reindeer with rainbow noses!"

Creative Men



Ammon and Gideon helping Mommy make blankets for Christmas (or just trying to make it more interesting than just spending a Saturday doing projects)!

Gideon and Jeremiah playing, "One Horse Open Sleigh" as they sing Jingle Bells! (You can't really see it, but they do have a piece of fleece around Jeremiah's tummy for the reigns)!

Jeremiah thinks that his mittens are not big enough, so he went and found some BIGGER mittens!

Night in Zarahemla





For our ward party this year we were supposed to dress up like the people in Zarahemla! As you can see, Ammon out did us all! What a very Handsome Man he is!!!

Mailmen




Here Jeremiah and Gideon are bringing in and sorting through the mail for us! What good little helpers!

Christmas Decorations






Do you like our garland? We are in the process of making a fleece blanket for our new baby and the boys put the scrap pieces on the tree! What cute little imaginations they have! We also cut out a tree and made decorations for it to hang in the window! This picture of the playhouse in the backyard is to show that we might have a little bit of a white Christmas this year! I can't believe that we have not received more snow this year! Also, thanks to Granny and Granddad, we now have a Nativity Scene! We sure love it!!!

So Proud of you Debbie


Gideon's and Jeremiah's cousin Debbie chose to be Baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! We are so proud of her! Thank you Debbie for letting us be a part of your very special day! We Love You!!!

Fun Times




I was organizing the spare room to get it ready for the baby when he comes, and I walked out into the hall and found this! Do you think that I am going to have my hands full with three boys?!

Two Big Boys




Jeremiah learned how to climb out of the crib! This was a sad day because I was not ready to deal with him getting out of bed, opening the door, coming up to me with a Big Smile, and saying Look at what I can do! We made the transition from the crib to the toddler bed! Gideon said that he wanted a new, tiny, small bed to sleep in! That is why Gideon's mattress is on the floor! Jeremiah was so happy to be sleeping in a Big Boy Bed like his brother! He did well most of the time, but there is still the times of saying, "Go to bed Jeremiah and stay there!" It is very nice to not have to lift him in and out of the crib though!!! Even though Jeremiah is 2 and is only 33 1/2 inches tall and 24 lbs, it sure took alot of effort to lift him in and out of the crib each day and night!
