Kenzie's B-day!

Kenzie is 6 years old now. I can't believe how time flies. She had a birthday party and invited six friends. It was a three musketeer party. They watched the movie "Barbie and the three musketeers" and eat pizza. (I ordered way to much pizza and I think we eat pizza for three days. I'm pretty sick of Pizza.) Then at the end we had cake and ice cream. I think the girls had fun. I even make a barbie cake to go along with the theme.

Christmas!

SANTA CAME!
Tanner was the one that was really excited. He was up at 4:00 then again at 5:00. Finally at 6:30 we were all up and ready to see what Santa brought.

Derek sat and watched everything. He is such a happy baby.

Bryce loves his geotrax

Makenzie got what she wanted. A CD player with music. She also got lots of art kits.

Tanner was in la la land after opening a pair of snowboard shoes and watching as Kent came in from the garage with a snowboard. I have never seen a bigger smile.

Hebdon Family Celebration Weekend!

A few years again the Hebdon's started the tradition of having everyone meet at their house the weekend before Christmas. It is so fun for the kids. We have our live nativity which the kids love and we also have a kids craft and a mom's craft. We get to open all the cousin exchange gifts and the sibling exchanges. We had so much fun. It gets pretty crazy but it is all worth is in the end. Memories are great!

The kids got to decorate their own gingerbread house.

Preperations before the live nativity.


Derek was baby Jesus. He had fun playing in the straw.

Tanner and Kent were both Wisemen. They came bearing gifts. Kent's gift was a pacifier because Derek was getting a little grumpy.

Bryce was a sheperd.

Makenzie was an angel again. She loves being one of the angels.

Here are the cast members.

Christmas Recital!

Christmas recital time again. Kenzie loves to dance and adores her dance teacher.

Homeschooling!

Okay so I guess a lot of you may think I'm crazy (well except Brooke and Jaclyn) but I have decide to home school Tanner and Makenzie. I'm starting in January. All I can say is it just feels right. I know life will be a lot crazier during the day for the first little while but then hopefully we will get into a routine. Wish me luck!

Happy Halloween!

The day is finally here. The kids have been waiting for this for weeks. They love dressing up. We went to the Ward truck or trick then came home and walked around our block. I'm super glad the weather was so wonderful. The kids all looks so cute in their costumes.

The duo in action.
Buzz & Woody


Kenzie was the nice little witch

There's a snake in my boot.
Bryce as cowboy Woody

To infinity and beyond.
Derek was Buzz lightyear

I am Darth Vader. Tanner totally looked the part.

My four little sweethearts that I love soooo much.

Scouts!

Tanner loves scouts. He received an award at the last pack meeting. It is so cute to see him want to accomplish these goals. He is a true trooper. On Friday he didn't have any school so we sat down and spent two hours working on some of his WOLF requirements and a few extras.
