Olivia's discovery!

Olivia has discovered the kitchen cabinets and that
she can open them and crawl inside and pull everything out. She knows she is up to know good because when you call her name she won't look at you and just laughs!

McKay's Birthday

We had a little family birthday party for McKay on Saturday since his birthday falls on Tuesday. Instead of cake he had an ice cream pie and brownies! He got a Ben 10 toy from Douglas and a Hotwheels race track from us. One Tuesday we will have him open his gifts from grandparents.

Kate's 4th Birthday

We celebrated Kate's birthday in Snowflake. Her siblings, cousins,grandma and grandma Chapple, parents and Aunt Ashley were there to celebrate the big day with her. She wanted a Sleeping Beauty party. We did our best to make her feel like a princess. She was so excited. We made crowns and wands and played pin the kiss on the frog and pass the present. Their prizes were candy necklaces and ring pops. I think everyone enjoyed the party.

Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas and the kids are very excited about their gifts. The most meaningful gifts they received were from eachother. Each gave a gift of service that they would perform for one another. The kids acted out the nativity for the first time on Christmas Eve. Next year we will use a baby doll instead of Olivia for the baby Jesus!

Sunshine Generation 2008

Spencer and McKay participated in Sunshine Generation this fall. They did a Christmas performance where they sang and danced. They did a great job.

Trip to Los Angeles/ Hunnington Beach

We went to LA in early December to attend Melissa Chapple's wedding. We traveled with Scott's parents and visited Hunnington beach. It was a little cold but the kids loved it.
