The Wii invasion.




Invasion of the Wii has struck our home. It is a lot of fun but it is even more fun to watch my children play it..hhaha. And for all those curious Caitty does know when she isn't one of those little blobs. They are playing golf.

Today 12-30-08











So yesterday we went to Riverton to travel to the Wal-Mart. It was a lovely 55 degrees in Riverton. Any way today it was almost as nice, yes the snow is melting. It was in the thirty's so we released Caitty from house arrest. She took the "crew" with her. For those who don't know the "crew" they consist of two Donald Ducks, two Backyardagains, and two Pooh Bears. Yes it is a little like Noah's ark. Any way the Crew all got to see snow for the first time this year. They all got to individually touch the snow and say "ow". They also got to sit in and on the dog house. What a lucky crew.

Snow




Well the Friday after Christmas we got a massive storm. It snowed quite a few inches but the worst part was the wind. It was a constant 30 mph with gust up to 50. So the next day it wasn't to bad. Cold but not windy so I let Caitty out. She had fun finding out that the snow was up to her knees. She also liked watching the back hoe clear out the church parking lot. Needless to say it was still only 16 degrees so Caitty only lasted a hour... :) I had to drag her in.

Christmas 2008






















This year was a lot better then last, with the fact that I didn't put out all the gifts and tell Caitty no all the time so she got into unwrapping a lot faster then last. Kaci woke up at 6 this morning and then Caitty woke up at 7:30. So Kaci got to eat and then look into her stocking before Caitty. Which I don't think Caitty cared. We did have to stop and read every book that Caitty got today before opening another gift and of course check out the toys and take the clothing out of the box. The part that did bug her was that Kaci got a pooh stuffed animal from Grandpa Craig and Grandma Netty that she still doesn't really like Kaci to have but I think she is giving up on it now that it smells like formula. Kaci likes to chew on his arm full of mail. And Kaci loved the pink cat that she got from Pappa and Grandma Walk. But thank you to all the Santa's, and grandparents the girls have liked every gift!!! And thank you from Joel and Dani. We love and miss you all.

Christmas Eve 2008




Joel had to work Christmas Eve but me and the girls had some good times. We played with balloons and colored for most of the day.Poor Caitty, the air is so dry she has really bad static electricity at the moment. Every balloon would just get stuck in her hair and she really didn't like that at all. And then that night we read twas a night before Christmas and then the "bear" read it to us too. And of course the animals had to drive to hear the story.

Kaci


Well Kaci continues to grow up way to fast for me. She is a cutie and her new thing now is she can move. Not very fast but she can army crawl. She gets really mad though if she is stuck on her tummy to long. She hasn't figure out the whole how to roll back but hopeful she will get there. Any way she is getting better at playing with toys and Caitty is learning quickly that the toys she doesn't want Kaci to touch she keeps a little farther away from her. This is my favorite picture of her so far. Although Brandon got some good ones.


Painting Decorations.



Well We decided to start a new tradition with Caitty this year and it is to buy little clay decorations and to let her paint them and put them on the tree. She really like the painting part and now she has decided to add her own "decorations" to the tree. They don't stay there to long because then they all have some thing else to go do with Caitty but there are two backyardagins and two Donald ducks and two pooh bears that hang out there for a while.
