Winter

Max is sitting! He looks adorable sitting and playing with toys. And I love this stage where they just sit and play, not yet crawling everywhere and getting into stuff. Wish it lasted longer!

Love the girls in these curlers. They look so darn cute in them! And they actually work in their thick hair. I've tried so many curling irons and rods and they don't work. But these do and I love the bouncy full curls they create.

Luke is FINALLY potty-trained. It happened in only 10 short days at the beginning of January. Hallelujah! He was truly ready this time. We took a family trip to the Lehi "bucket" pool to celebrate.

What little snow we got was quickly made into a snowman by the kids. They made this one all by themselves, no help from me! Isn't he cute?

Max has this most darling robe. I just love it on him!

Emma's 100th day of school! They made these crazy hats.

The library's annual Fancy Nancy party. So girly and fun!

Playing in the laundry basket

Ben and I got to go on a date for Valentine's Day and it was great. Love my Ben! Emma took a picture of us before we left on our "love date" (what she calls it).

Max is loving his solid food. He loves everything except for avocados and he's not a huge fan of bananas on their own.

Christmas

Yes, I realize it's now February and I am doing a Christmas post. Sorry! But here are pictures for my family to see of Christmas 2011. We had a fantastic one!!!

Seeing Santa at the mall.

Isn't this the most precious sight?

We enjoyed meeting my dad at the mall and seeing the gigantic Christmas tree!

New jammies!!! Luke was thrilled to match Max.

Rachel's big gift--the Ultimate Disney Princess Collection!!!!

Luke's big toys--a remote control helicopter and a Little People pirate ship.

Max didn't get too many gifts this year, but he is just a baby. And he is the FOURTH baby. Poor kid. :) But he did get a few new toys and books, and BIBS!

My mom wanted to see a picture of the girls with these bags that she got for them. A young teenager in my mom's ward crocheted these bags! They are beautiful and the girls put their scriptures in them.

My only picture of the kids all dressed up in their Christmas finest. Better luck next year.

Little Max with his grandparents.

Max does this cute little scrunchy face sometimes and I LOVE it.
