Trip to Oregon- Christmas Eve

Oops, I guess I put the pictures in backwards again. Oh well. Above is everyone watching everyone else open presents on Christmas Eve.

I was pretty pumped to get a JUMBO box of rice krispy treats! I've only got about 5 left...I am rationing them out so they last longer! :)



Tyler was also pretty excited about all of the Oregon gear that he got for Christmas. His parents got him this hat, and he also got some T-shirts from his sister Rachel. Lucky duck!



This is Brian, the babies and myself enjoying a HILARIOUS joke. Hilarious.

Trip to Oregon- Science Works

When we got to Oregon, we took the kids to a hands-on science museum called Science Works. They had science experiments and crafts for all ages! We all had a blast.

Here is Jake and Kate playing in the bubble room.

A.J. is extra cool because he came up with this cool trick! Way to go, A.J.!

Audrey and Ian thought the plexiglass magnets were fun too.

Random pictures from the last two months

We have a basement!

















Here is Reggie testing out a new place to nap. She decided that it was no good, but stayed long enough for me to take a picture!






Me and Audrey playing at the park.













Audrey is playing with her buddy Halle. Halle isn't a huge fan of Audrey yet!











Audrey at the playground in one of her Halloween costumes.

Audrey is just about ready to walk! She is an expert at using this walking toy, and already stands up on her own (when she doesn't realize she is doing it, of course!). She is already starting to be quite the ham! I wonder who she gets that from.....

Here are a few pictures of Audrey at 9 months! They need to be cropped a little bit, but I'm too lazy to do it right now!

















Here are the family pictures that we took a couple of weeks ago. We took these pictures at the same park that we took our engagement pictures at. Also, I guess they found a dead body at this park a few days ago! Yikes!

So, our camera stopped working, so I haven't taken any pictures for months. That is my excuse. But, here are some new pictures of Audrey taken with my mom's camera. Audrey is seven months old now, by the way.



Loving being outside in her cute dress that her Grandma Bluth bought her.














Counter-

surfing with Dad!















She got hold of a chips ahoy cookie, and was so proud of herself for finding it, that I had to let her have it. You can kind of tell by her eyes, but she was grinning from ear to ear with the cookie in her mouth. She already knows the good stuff!





So proud of herself! I had to clean chocolate off of me, her, the carpet and the (white!) couch, but it was totally worth it.







Here is Audrey enjoying the Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder that Natalie gave to us! It has been a life saver for sure. Audrey is a girl that likes to "do it herself" already, so any chance I have to let her feed herself is a good thing.








In this meal I chopped up some strawberries and bananas and mixed it up with a little crushed ice. Audrey really likes popsicles (surprise? I think not.) so I can easily trick her into thinking that it is a popsicle if I just add ice to the mix.

This is a video of Audrey crawling. She has been doing the "inchworm" for about a month now, but recently started using her hands more effectively. She has already gotten much better since I took this video!



Here is a video of Audrey blowing raspberries. Last week during relief society, she would NOT quit blowing them the whole time. Very disruptive. She is so proud of herself when she makes this noise, it's cute. You can also spot a sly Reggie lurking in the blinds waiting to pounce on Audrey, which she did after the video was taken.
