A new Nephew and a one year old!


Sawyer Aaron Britton
Congrats to Amy and Aaron who had their first baby boy today! I have been deathly sick and haven't yet gotten to see him, but I couldn't pass up the chance to show off how darling he is. I can't wait to see him in person. We are so thankful for his safe arrival and look forward to getting to know our new nephew! We love you so much buddy!


I am seriously so jealous of his hair. Look at that mop! LOVE IT!


Look who turned ONE today! Wyatt just turned one and is adorable and so fun. He is always so happy and always willing to give loves! We love you big guy!

Christmas 2009


They couldn't believe he really ate the cookies and the raindeer liked their treats Jane and Ike left them. Santa did a great job and the kids had a great Christmas!


Ike got the pirate ship, "he's always wanted!"


Cal was pretty sleepy eyed waking up and coming to see his Christmas, he was excited about his tractor!


Jane got a great surprise from Santa. She got a desk and chair for her room for all those art projects she loves! She even got to put it all together! She was in heaven!


The kids bought gifts for each other and Cal got Jane an easy bake. She loved it. Jane was really thoughtful with all her gifts. She'd really listen to what we each wanted. She got Ike his own Leapster cause he was always playing with hers, me a homemade calendar that I love, and Adam a new watch cause his broke at work. She didn't have Cal's name, but thought of some good ideas for Ike. She is such a fun little girl. The kids had a lot of fun on Christmas. Adam's family came over and spent most of the day with us. It was great fun!

Christmas Eve 2009 at the Olson's!

So excited for Santa's visit! We love the new pj's from grandma and grandpa O!

After the trip to Wyoming that night we headed up to the Olson's for more Christmas Eve fun. I really slacked on the picture taking here. Katie and Amy are always so good that I thought I'd just get pictures from them, but life is busy and things happen and I didn't get any pictures. I did steal some off Katie's blog (thanks)!

Amy and Aaron got all of us girls these darling headbands. I wear mine almost everyday and get so many compliments on it. I need to get another one! Love them!

The cutest grandkids again!
Chloe 4, Jane 5, Sadie 2, Cal 2, and Ike 3!
We got spoiled once again by grandma and grandpa O. We had such a great time.

Christmas Eve 2009 at the Shelton's

Ike, Cal, and Jane in their new Christmas outfits from Grandma and Grandpa Shelton!

The morning of Christmas Eve we headed up to Wyoming to spend the morning with my family. Travis, Shunae, and Jada were in town and Spencer, Britt, and Wyatt, Bonnie, Aaron, and girls all came over with Grandma and Grandpa Shelton. We had a gourmet breakfast and opened tons of gifts. Once again I wish I was better at pictures, but I did take a few. We got good stuff and it was a lot of fun to be with family!


Aunt Bonnie, Wyatt, and Cal ready to begin the fun!


Grandma and Grandpa looked all over for these tonka trucks for the boys. They loved them and couldn't wait to get them out of the box and play. I don't know who was more excited about the trucks, the boys, grandpa, or uncle Spencer!


These are the cutest grandkids ever!
Ike 3, Cal 2, Natalee 4, Jane 5, Haylee 7, Wyatt 1, Jada 1, and Ashlee 9.
Jada's still not so sure about all of us yet!


Our little family!


The Rudy Girls!
(not sure why Bonnie and Aaron went missing during the picture taking :)

Christmas Sing 2009


Here's Jane at her Christmas Sing for school. She was so darling. She was the first one to walk on to the stage and she was struttin' her stuff. It was so funny. She looked so cute and did such a good job. There were so many people there that I didn't get a lot of pictures, but she did a great job. Grandma O, Katie and girls, Adam and the boys and I were all there to support her. Way to go Jane!


Our little "Angel!"

Santa Claus!


We had a ward party on Saturday morning. Santa was there and the boys sat on his lap. Jane wouldn't sit on his lap, she said he already sent her an email and knew what she wanted :) If you haven't tried it yet go to portablenorthpole.tv. Your kids will love it!


Ike requested a whale!


Not the best picture, but we had the primary kids do a nativity. Jane wanted to be a donkey! She looked so cute and was really good singing and paying attention! It was fun!
We are so excited for Christmas at our house. 4 Days and counting!

Cookies at Grandma's!


Grandma O had us over to make cookies. She has the best recipe for sugar cookies and the dough is delicious! We had such a fun time. Jane loved it and was lovin' rolling out the cookies and the decorating.


Ike was so funny. He loved it for awhile and then he was to busy playing camping with Uncle Joe!


It's always fun with Chloe! They loved it!



Cal was more into eating the cookies and dough, rather then decorating them!


She did such a great job!


You caught me again!

All tuckered out and ready for a rest with Uncle Joe!
Thanks Grandma O!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas.....


On Sunday Adam and the kids started to put together a gingerbread house, it turned out darling!

So proud. The funny thing is, Cal was asleep on my bed while the kids made this. When he woke up I was one the phone in the other room and Adam was outside with the kids. Cal woke up and walked in to the kitchen and when I walked in the kitchen Cal was eating all the candy off the house and just looked up and smiled at me. It was so cute and funny!
He thought he'd hit the jack pot!


Our tree.
We hit the tree lot last week to pick one out. We try to go cut them down, but we didn't make it out this year. This one isn't bad though. Although it did fall over after I had it all decorated.


Our Banister!


Isn't this cute. I made it. I got it off the nannygoat blog. I had it just perfect and when I was hanging it a few broke off, I wasn't about to redo it, it's fine for this year.

Thanksgiving in California

(Me, Ike, Natalee, Jane, Cal, and Adam)
We love Toy Story!

We had such a fun Thanksgiving this year. We got the chance to go to California to see Travis, Shunae, and Jada. We got to go to the beach and Disneyland. We had a lot of fun. I didn't take to many pictures, dang it, but I did get a few to capture a few moments. Here we are at Disneyland, it was super crowded, but fun. We stayed all day long. The kids were great and and we had a fun time together!


The kids had a blast at the hotel! We loved swimming and hangin' out!


Travis and the boys had a Thanksgiving Football Game! Travis got some of the guys he goes to school with to play too! It was so fun. They were actually pretty good. It was the older against the younger. Sad to say the younger won, but it was fun.


WE loved the BEACH!



Jane and Grandpa looking for seashells!


My mom, Brittany, Wyatt, and Spencer chillin' on the beach. It wasn't as warm as we wanted it to be, but it was fun!


Playin' in the sand!


Burying Natalee!


Adam was such a great sport and let us bury him! We made him and mermaid and a muscle man. Then we put food on him to see how long it took the seagulls to land on him. Hilarious!!



Jada, the beach bum! Isn't she darling!


After Adam got out of the sand he ran into the ocean to clean off! FREEZING!!

My man! I love him. He was such a good sport. We had so much fun with my family and made lots of memories together. I didn't get any pictures, but we had Thanksgiving Dinner at a really nice restaurant, thanks mom and dad, we played lots of ping pong, games and karaoke! It was great times for sure!
