Big Al Jefferson

We got some tickets to go to a Jazz meet and greet. Kalun decided it was a great chance for a boys night. I was a little jealous I'm not gonna lie, but they had so much fun together. Tate is turning into a mini Kalun and has started to really watch and cheer for the Jazz and BYU. He thought it was so awesome to go meet a Jazz player. He thought he was HUGE!

Christmas 2010

We had a very good Christmas. We were excited to have just moved in and have Christmas in our new home. I even had three trees up and decorated. It was so fun to watch the kids, the older they get the funner it is as they are able to understand it all. Addison did really good opening presents, she just watched everyone else for awhile and then dug in.

Nativity

It was the year of Mary and Joseph. Tate was asked to be Joseph in our many nativities. He took some convincing because he already thinks he's getting "too cool" to have to participate. Haylie on the other hand couldn't have been happier to play Mary repeatedly. She loved holding baby and smiling for the camera. Kyli was even a good sport and participated.

Santa

Moving

Selling, buying, moving, was crazy. It was a whirlwind process that kept throwing us curve balls. We loved that house, Kalun and I designed alot of it, so it was sad to say good-bye. It was also hard to leave such an amazing ward with people we loved so much. But we really felt like we were supposed to move, and we found a beautiful home that was bank owned. We feel very blessed to have had everything work out. I haven't taken a single picture of our new home but we love it. 2 weeks after moving in we were hosting Christmas parties, shortly after, new year's eve party, followed by a super bowl party. So I would say we are breaking in the new place. The kids have struggled a little, missing their friends, but are making lots of new friends and adjusting well. We are really liking our new neighborhood. I really feel that we were guided to our new home and I am loving getting to know new people. Maybe sometime I will get around to taking some pics and posting them.

Halloween

Tate's costume is an old dress up outfit of Kalun's he found at grandma's house right before halloween. Haylie wanted to be the dragon just because it was pink. Addi is the lion.

Our TeEnAgEr!!

Kyli is 13!!! I can't believe she is a teenager. It seems like yesterday she was an adorable little toddler with crazy curly hair. She is such a good kid, we are SO grateful that she is a part of our family, even if that means I am already raising a teenager!

Best Friends

Haylie has a best friend named Sander. His mom is my best friend and they were born 3 days apart. They have always been best friends since they were tiny. We went to the temple to have a family night and we looked over and they were standing there holding hands, it was so funny.

Football

Tate played flag football this fall. He loved it. Of course I think it helped that Kalun was the coach. They had the cutest team. Kalun was so good with the boys. They even had a cheer they did. The purple panthers came a long way over those 8 weeks, it was so fun to watch the practices and games.

Big 1sts

Tate started Kindergarten. He was a little nervous since we were starting him in the new school, but we hadn't moved yet so he didn't really know anyone. But he was excited that his cousin Tayven goes to his new school. Haylie started pre-school. She loves it! She wasn't shy or nervous or anything, she walked in the first day like she owned the place
