Christmas 2008

Grandma's homemade marshmallow launchers.  The twins loved the ammunition.  It made clean-up a breeze.

What did Santa bring?

Jena-Santa brought her this block table.

Jayden-a cool BMX bike.

Josh-playing peek-a-boo behind his work bench.  Josh loves tools.

Oh no Santa left his sack!

Jayden ran down stairs to see if Santa came.  His reponse, "Mommy Santa came, he really came."  Jayden then saw this giant bean bag his response, "Oh no I think Santa left his sack!"

Christmas Eve 2008!

Jayden tracking Santa on the internet.

Josh smiling after his Christmas Eve boo boo.  His forehead came in contact with the family room table.  

Jena is just waiting  for................!

Watch out world "We" are walking!

Josh has been causally walking for a few weeks now.  They are 14 months now.  Jena is comfortable with crawling.  Then one night Jena decided to walk.  "Look at me I'm walking".

Tubular!!

I love my brother!

Jayden loves to hold the babies.  Jena and Josh don't always care for it.  

But here they both are wearing their smiles.

We love baby Jesus!

I was so afraid Jena and Josh would break all my Christmas decorations.  This is my snow globe nativity seen.  It was too heavy for them to pick up so I put it on the floor.  They just loved to look at it.

What do the Twins love?

I love candy canes!

Well, doesn't my shirt say it all?

Getting ready for Christmas!

Jayden is such a great big brother!

Josh has the sweetest smile!

Jena and that expressive tongue again!

Thanksgiving

Bums up!!!!

How do My Children sleep?  You guessed it Bums up!!  

Halloween night!!

Photos from Halloween night!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

 Our little Super Jayden always saves the day!

Trunk or treat was Wednesday night.  It was 70 degrees so I was able to get away with the twins in a bath tub.  

Happy Birthday Jena and Josh!

The Twins turned 1 year old this week.  I made them cupcakes.  They enjoyed the mixer beaters more than the actual cupcakes.  Jena received her first baby doll and Josh has a new ride on toy.  I thought since Josh loves paper he would have so much fun tearing the wrapping paper off, he tears all other paper.  But no neither of them wanted to open their presents.  Good thing they have an older brother.  Jayden got right in there and showed them how to get it done.  Happy Birthday Jena and Josh!!!!!

Grandpa Cal Baker

A few weeks ago my Dad and my brother were mountain biking in St George, Utah.  My Dad was involved in a serious accident and had to be air lifted to Las Vegas.  He still remains in Las Vegas in serious condition.  My Dad has always served others.  Even people he didn't know.  The Bishop in his ward (a ward being a congregation in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) said that my Dad had helped more people in their ward than any other person in the ward.  The accident happened just 1 week before he was to run his 3rd marathon. He didn't realize he was training for something more difficult than running a marathon.  I wanted to thank everyone for your loving support and all of the wonderful prayers being said in his behalf.  Daddy I LOVE YOU!  Our prayers are with you during this hard journey.

What a difference a year makes

One Year Ago

Today

I can't believe I am putting this picture on the blog.  It was funny, at first people just looked at you trying to decide if you were pregnant or not and if they should say anything.  As it got closer to the 9 months they would ask when the baby was due.  The last month I was asked if I was having twins.  It was a good thing I was having twins because if I wasn't I would be extremely upset.

From one to three kids just like that.  Three can be very challenging at times but it is worth it.  They are all so different and such a blessing.  We love you Josh, Jena and Jayden!

The pumkin patch

The twins first trip to the pumpkin patch.  They had so much fun.  Jena spent most of her time trying to remove the stems from all the pumpkins.  I think she was able to remove one.  Josh is just happy anytime he is outside.  Jayden, he got lost in the corn maze. 

The Scariest Pumpkins ever!

This picture was taken last year but it is one of my favorites.  Which one do you think is the scariest?

Daddy's Girl

All I can say is Jena climbed up on the couch, grabbed the remote control and took the "I'm going to watch a little TV" pose. 

The Twins first and maybe last spaghetti

Josh

Jena

Jayden

Tomorrow the twins will be 11 months.  I can't believe how fast time flies.  I decided to let Jena and Josh try some spaghetti.  I knew it would make a mess so I removed all clothing.  Jena and Jayden ate everything on their plates (minus the food stuck to themselves).  Josh did pretty good too.  I can say all the kids love spaghetti.  I may have saved time preparing everyone the same thing for dinner but I think it took a lot more time in clean up.

OK, our 6 year old can write better than me.

Jayden does take forever to complete a task.  If Jayden does not finish his work at school it comes home with him and he has to finish it at home.  This paper came back home with only his name on it.  He had 20 minutes to write something and all he did was write his name.  I was a little upset with him because he can do it.  I told him he had to write something to turn in the next day for class.  This is what he wrote.  I only helped him with spelling on 3 words.  I wasn't as upset with him when I read what he wrote.

My Auntie made our shirts!

Guy's sister Tricia is a clothes designer for children.  These are just a couple of the shirts that she has designed.  Thank you Tricia!
