Merry Christmas

This year we had a nice relaxing Christmas, we even got to sleep in! Cameron and I were up before our boys, Cameron eventually went and woke Cohen up around 10:30 because he didn't want to wait anymore :) I love that Cohen wanted to move at a slow pace making opening presents last all day. He was so funny, after opening something, we would immediately have to open it and play with whatever it was, and read all of his new books. Ashton also enjoyed his new rattles and other things, but mainly loved just watching his brother be so happy and excited.

One of Cohen's favorite gifts from Santa
All Cohen asked Santa for was "James". Santa had set up Cohen's new activity table in the basement with his train set set up on it. Everything else had been on the main floor so Cohen didn't make it to the basement until late Christmas night. All day Cohen kept saying "Santa didn't bring me James but it's OK.", so when he did finally go downstairs he was so happy and surprised to see his new table with James wrapped on top of it, his face just lite up!
We hope everyone had a great Christmas and was able to spend it with family and friends!

Christmas Eve

This year we decided to drive through Thanksgiving Point's holiday lights. The boys really enjoyed it, Cohen pointed everything out and would say "did you see that?". Every year spend Christmas Eve at Cam's parents house in Woodland Hills. This year we got there early so Cohen could enjoy sledding with his cousins. Grampy and Uncle Craig took turns walking him up the mountain and taking him down, he loved it!
The cousins exchange names and I think its safe to say that Cohen LOVED his gift! He got a hand made Cars holder with some "Cars" cars in it. He took over the whole floor playing with them.
Waiting to see if they could see Santa coming on his sleigh

Ashton sure loves Santa!

Happy Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at Grammy and Grampy's this year, with Cameron's brother Craig and his family. We missed seeing all the other siblings and nephew's, maybe next year.

Taylor and Ashton

We were all surprised to see that Grammy and Grampy had put a full size teeter totter in there living room. The kids loved it!
Every year Cameron's parents do Christmas PJ's for everyone and we love it, but you only wear them for a week before the holiday season is over so this year Cameron and I decided to start our own tradition and open Christmas PJ's on Thanksgiving. Cohen was so excited, he loved that he got to open his and help Ashton with his.

*Our Boys*

In November I had one of my good friends from high school take pictures of my boys. I love how they turned out, she did such a great job! Thanks Jennie!
Cohen and Ashton
I love how they are both smiling and looking at me :)

Cohen is my little cheezer, love it!
This is so funny, like they planned to both show their serious side.

Go Jazz!

Anyone that knows us, knows that we love the Jazz! A couple months ago we were able to have dinner and go to a game with two other couples, Cory & Beth, and Hiram & Sarah. Usually it's just Cam and I that go to the games, so it was nice to have some friends join us this time.

It was also Ashton's first Jazz game, and he did great! He mostly just watched everyone in the crowd and smiled when they started cheering.
I had to post this picture (sorry Beth) it is just to funny. I love how everyone is all excited and Beth looks bored out of her mind :)
Taking a break at half time to get Red Mango. Yum!

Ashton's Blessing

On September 7, 2010 we had our son Ashton blessed. We were so happy to have so many of our friends and family there to share our special day with us!

Happy Halloween!

The week before Halloween Cameron went out of town for business. While he was gone I took my boys to our wards trunk-or-treat, and chili cook off. I definitely had my hands full by myself but Cohen loved it which made it worth it! Cohen showing my all the candy he got!
After we went over to Cory and Beth's to carve pumpkins, and wait for Cameron's flight to get it. Cohen hates to be dirty so he had to clean out the pumpkin with a spoon, and Riley took care of the rest! I love that they are "best friend cousins" as Cohen would say.
Every year we go to Beth's brother and sister-in-laws house for Halloween. We have a Chili and potato bar with Cory's homemade root beer, and then all the kids get to go out trick-or-treating together.

This year trick-or-treating was COLD, we made it around the block before it started raining. They loved every minute of it though, and they would have kept going if we let them.
Warming up and watching Monster House
We also got a surprise visit from Aunt Chanelle and Grammy
