1st Half of January

1st Half of January
January 1-15

 Happy New Year 2016!

 Our first Sunday of the year photo session!  Lucas was NOT happy about getting his binky taken away for the picture!  And we finally made it to church, only a half hour late!

 I can't believe Lucas is old enough to be a Sunbeam in primary!  He is one of the youngest since he has an October birthday.  He was nervous, but not as much as me!  Apparently three is not too old to take a binky to class, according to Lucas who ran off to class with his.  He has done really well with the transition from nursery, but I think he definitely misses the toys and fun.  He is such a handsome boy!

 Matt and Kaylee napping together.  It's pretty much a daddy tradition with all of our babies!

 Kaylee is enjoying her rice cereal!  I think it's about time to pull out the high chair.

 Precious sleepy baby

 Matisyn's Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Story

 Kaylee will still sleep just about anywhere.  She likes to be nearby us, and falls asleep when she's all swaddled up.

 Matisyn loves to be able to feed Kaylee her cereal.  It is a little messy, but they have good bonding time together.

 Computer time with Daddy

 Trying to get the moving robot dog Zoomer, Kaylee loves to watch him

 Lucas loves to shovel the deck when it snows.  This boy loves to be like his Daddy!  He also likes to take his trucks outside and dig in the snow like sand.

 Los Hermanos dinner with the family for Uncle Mike's birthday.

 I found Lucas soaked in his crib after squeezing water from his sippy cup all over himself.  He was pretty proud...and wet!

 This Emi girl is looking so grown up these days.  We have loved putting her hair up and back in lots of different ways lately.  She is great at doing her 1st grade homework, and loves and adores school and her teacher Miss Russell.

 The girls dressed up balloon people to dance with at their ball!  They love to create and imagine together.  They are either fighting or playing extremely happily together!

 Kaylee loves a good tassel to chew on!  Matisyn is often distracted from her homework by this cute baby.  If she fusses even a little, Matisyn picks her up and holds her.  She tries to do her homework at the same time, but usually isn't too successful.  4th grade has been tough for homework.  She has quite a bit every school night, and our house is usually loud and busy so it's hard to concentrate.

 Laundry is out of control with six people.  I feel like I'm washing clothes constantly, and I'm still always behind.  Sometimes I just have to go crazy to catch up!

 Lucas loves shoveling with his Dad.  The girls love when he helps build snow projects like this amazing igloo.  They had so much fun playing in it for weeks afterwards until it melted.

 The completed igloo made a great clubhouse for friends like Ashley and Khloe, and a great place to drink hot chocolate.

 Emilyn loves to paint nails.  She was pretty excited to paint mine, and to see the amazing job she did on my nails for the rest of the week!

 There were tractors in front of primary children's hospital when we took Lucas in for a test.  He was so excited to go check them out.  We took him for a renal ultrasound to make sure he doesn't have the bladder reflux like the girls.  Since all three sisters have it, even though he hasn't had symptoms, the urologist suggested we get him tested.  He had very little fluid in the kidneys and was at low risk for the reflux problem.  It was a relief to have one child without it!

 Kaylee loves hanging out in her exersaucer to look around and be part of the action!

 Girls' night out for Jana's birthday, pedicures and dinner at La Jolla Groves!

Have to love the serious plumber crack on Lucas!  We see this quite a bit because he has no butt and no hips to hold his pants up!  The teachers told me they fell down to his ankles in primary one Sunday!  I try to put a belt on him now!

Late night with their best friends!  Matisyn invited Anna and Emilyn invited Lillie.  They played, watched movies, and had root beer floats.
