Caleb's Birthday

I just realized I never posted about Caleb's Third birthday! How could I forget such a wonderful occasion. He turned three on Dec. 17. He woke up early and we made him his favorite birthday breakfast, pancakes, and gave him his presents. He got a dinosaur that walks and roars, and lightning McQueen snowboots. He loved it. He spent the day having friends over to play, and then went to Jungle Jim's for some rides and pizza with Grandma and Grandpa B and Aunt Andrea and Uncle Kenerd. He opened up his gift the minute we walked in the door, and then didn't want to go on any of the rides. Finally we got him warmed up enough to go on a few. It was a good time. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for cake and ice cream after.

Christmas, New Years, ect.

Christmas fun! Caleb got a new scooter and a helmet for Christmas! Gavin Loooooves baths!First bath together! Brigham's first time wearing a Tie to chruch!
It has been a while since I posted last. Sorry for that. These are just some random pictures from the holidays. Christmas came and went so fast! It's amazing we are already a week into 2008. As always, christmas was quite the event for our family! It almost always ends up being a sick day for someone, and this year it was pretty much everybody. Caleb started throwing up mid present opening, Rus started mid afternoon, and Brigham and Gavin seemed to go back and forth the rest of the week. Needless to say, we had a very mellow week and really didn't go anywhere. It was a nice change of pace from our usual( we are not homebodies). Rus was around quite a bit more than usual as well, due to a huge job that didn't start. It has been nice. New year's was great. We spend the day at home getting the house in order from the holiday (school started the next day), sledding and snowball fight, then went to my (Laura) Uncle's house in Farmington for a get together with my grandma and aunts, uncles and cousins. It was good food, good company and extremely relaxing. Couldn't ask for anything more!! Now we are just getting back to the daily grind and gearing up for surgery #3 for Gavin. Just under two weeks now. I am glad it is almost here. He has had ear infections since Thanksgiving and we have been waiting for this surgery for them to put tubes in. In the last week he has been totally miserable, so I got him on more antibiotic. It will be great to get a nice long break after this. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season. A highlight that I need to mention was the card we got from a Family from Rustin's misssion, The Peiler's. He has looked for them everytime we have gone to California, and always came up empty. He was so happy when he got the card, and excited to call them and talk the them on the phone!! I think that was his best Christmas present!!
