First post of 2011.

So I just browsed back over last year and realized I had a sad year of posts last year.
I blame it on the fact that we saw the 5 people who actually read this blog a lot last year. (yea for a job with the airlines). I do realize that it is nice to see new pictures and I love when my sisters post new pictures. (Hint, Hint, Heather). So here are a bunch of pictures from the last little while, mostly Christmas stuff.


Some recent pics of Kailee. The pink pajama picture is what I found her enjoying the morning after Christmas. Nothing beats chocolate for breakfast! The ever classic spaghetti face and the sleeping one is the night she couldn't make it to her room and she crashed in the hall way. It was so sad but of course I took a picture first.


Clayton's work Christmas party.

Sledding in Utah with cousins. After driving around for hours in a hot car all bundled for the snow we finally found some and only had to hop one fence past a no trespassing sign for our snow fix.

Christmas pictures taken for a card that never happened. Maybe next year.

Some family pictures at our 1st family Christmas party in a LONG time.

More from the party mostly white elephant fun.


We finally got to share our gingerbread decorating tradition with cousins in Utah and Oahu.

Kailee's Birthday party in Oahu.

Kailee's first birthday.

I do have to mention she had a rough day on her actual birthday. She was working on some molars and was a little congested. She fell down the stairs while T.J. was holding her. Kudos to T.J. who was proud to inform that he held her tight and rolled so that he would fall first and Kailee was fine although she got a good scare. She also got a hold of a habanero and took a huge bite. She then proceed to eat an ice cream bar in less than 60 seconds. It was a tough day and we joked she was lucky she survived her first birthday. Next year will be better. Right?

Halloween!!

We had an awesome Halloween this year, thanks to auntie Heather and her superior sewing skills!! She made Breana and Kailee's costumes and they were awesome. Breana got the most compliments from friends and strangers a like. T.J.'s was a favorite as well. Thank you Heather and Grandma Utah, and Auntie Manda for all your hard work.

T.J.'s Thoughts

Thanks to all our family that donated to the fundraiser. I am going to make the most goals this year so come have shave ice with ME!! I am getting good grades at school. I am going to run 13 laps this year. Last year I ran 10.
Teej.

Breebs' Thoughts.

What up yo!
I started soccer again. If you come at the end of the season you can get a shave ice with me. Daddy said he would buy a shave ice for the person who scores the most goals between T.J. and me. Right now we are tied at 1-1. Thank you to the family that donated money for our fundraiser. I promise to run 20 laps this year. Last year I ran 19. Love you all! Peace.

Back to School!

This is the first year since Breana started preschool that I have been able to take the kids to the first day of school. I am usually working and ask Clay every year to take pictures but it never happens. I enjoyed seeing them start a new year with new teachers. It was a big deal for me. The kids are at the age where they think I am weird and I am sure they were embarrassed by my excitement but I LOVED it!!

Pictures for Grandma!

So we have been super busy this summer. The kids went to Utah for a whole month and had soooo much fun!! They keep asking me if we can move there so they can see every one more often. They also went to Oahu for 2 weeks to visit with Clay's family and they want to move there too!! So, before we went to Utah we took some pictures for Grandma Mecham. I am terrible at sending updated photos and try to bring some when we visit. Here are a few that we took.

What we have been up to.

The kids just finished their baseball season a couple of weeks ago.
We have been so busy at the ball park that it's been awhile since we have been
able to post an updated.



This is how Kailee spent part of the season. Bundled in socks, pajamas, coat, hat, and gloves, in the snugli with a blanket covering her. Some of the games were pretty cold and we had to be prepared for any kind of weather. It was reminiscent of Montana:).
