Kate really got into halloween this year, we went out trick or treating around the neighborhood and then she had a blast giving out candy at our door!

This was our halloween dinner, Black spagetti with orange sauce, and a roll with red honey butter, it tasted good but not good to look at

New home for Macey

2009-04-16T18:10:00.001-06:00

We are so glad we found such a good home for our pup. With all the crazy things going on this summer, we decided that Macey was not going to work out for us, we were so sad to have to give her up, But we could not be happier about the family that she went with. They have 2 kids and another beagle, I am sure she is loving having another beagle to play with!!!! We love Macey but it is nice not having a dog and I am not sure we will be getting another one anytime soon!!!

2009-04-16T18:01:00.002-06:00

Blizzard in April!!!!! it was pretty but still not liked.

2009-04-16T17:50:00.002-06:00

what could she be so happy about? she is dancing to the Spongebob DVD she loves it and will ask me throughout the day BOB BOB BOB? Hanging out in Natassia room

Gabe brought her a spongebob pillow she was so thrilled!!!

Kate loves to hang out in the kennel, Natassia calls this her Top Model pose, she looks so fierce!

2009-04-16T17:44:00.002-06:00

This is how I find Kate now and then, kids always end up sleeping sideways especially when they are in bed in between mom & dad!!!

Kate insists that she have BOTH of her coats on the black and pink one!

Playing with Uncle Brock Playing with dad at the park, this was weeks ago, before the blizzard!!!

Enjoy the new background!!!!

2009-04-11T20:02:00.000-06:00

Sorry to get your hopes up!!! I am sure you saw the new background and thought perhaps I have updated!!!!! well, all that is new is the background!!!!!!! Promise more pictures coming soon!!!!

Its a Christmas miracle!

2009-01-06T22:53:00.004-07:00

So I buckled down and updated the blog!!!! to make up for the last 4 months of non blogging, i made up for it and posted things clear from October so it is like I was on top of it the whole time so make sure you look all the way back!!!

Kates new face

2009-01-06T22:49:00.003-07:00

Em spent the night with us this week and taught Kate this lovely face, apparently she gets a good reaction from it because today when she saw the camera, it was the first thing she did!

She is a stinker!

Sledding was a hit!

2009-01-06T22:44:00.003-07:00

Christian and Em, sledding with Kate!! she loved it she even sat at the top of the hill without the sled and tried to go down on her bum! It was freezing but she didnt seem to care, I however did so we did not sled as long as she would have liked!

Christmas recap

2009-01-06T22:32:00.005-07:00

Christmas was fun, we were busy with family parties and planning the ward party! We had a family party at Jumpin Jacks in springville, they had huge blow up slides and Kate loved them all I did not have the energy to keep taking her up and down them!! she will be a good roller coaster buddy for her Dad!! We also were able to do a service project with Christians family it was good to serve. We went to the Grand America in Salt Lake with my Mom and Rods family, we went to pioneer village it was so fun!!! then we opted to go swimming instead of the zoo lights at hogle zoo because we were a bit chilly! we swam ate and played games and opened Christmas Jammies. Christmas Eve it was out to dinner with the Allens and then more food (rods home made clam chowder! YUM) and movies at the Clarks. We got home and had our own little Christmas gift exchange and off to bed. Thanks for the Wii Chris! Then early morning back to the Clarks for gifts. My mom gave us some really nice dishware and some clothes and kate got lots of puppies some stuffed animals some in toy form. She LOVES LOVES LOVES puppies!!! also some clothes and a cute book. THEN, off to the Allens for more food (can we say diet for the next few months!!) The holiday ended with like 5 straight nights of playing games with our families and movies it was fun!!! I am still confused on what day it is!!!! WE had such a good holiday with family! we did not get out cards this year, perhaps next year!

Christmas Fun

2009-01-06T22:15:00.006-07:00

so kate found her christmas present in the closet when I left the door open, she is so mad that she can't open it! If I can't hide a present from a one year old, I am in trouble! Thrilled to have her stroller! Chrismas morning

Equally thrilled to have Dads i pod, she already knows how it works!

Nothing too dramatic with Santa she was looking at him like who the heck are you!

Temple Square

2009-01-06T22:11:00.004-07:00

As you know, Kate is to big for strollers!!! She was much happier walking holding Nanas hand (I don't know about you but that does not look like a Gma!!)

Here is my Mom and Rod and his kids Tyler, Garrett, and Gabe

Christian makes his blog debut!

2008-09-16T16:20:00.004-06:00

While Kate and I were on our way home from Moab, Christian took his little brother to Jump on it, a warehouse of trampolines, and it didn't end well! He broke his leg, tore all his ligaments and shattered his ankle in 5 places. This is an X ray of his ankle. 5 screws and 6 weeks later we are doing better I hope we can both handle another month of no walking!

2008-09-16T16:15:00.002-06:00

We have been so busy lately, Kate is getting so big and always on the go, it is a full time job keeping up with her!! Her favorite new activity is climbing up the stairs, (at times without us knowing! luckily we have not had any falls!) She is also getting the two top teeth, the ones between the very front ones and the K9's! Teething has not been fun for any of us! Here are some pictures of Kate from the last few months!
