December: What haven't we done?!

The month of December was crazy, exciting and full of adventure!! Dave actually has been going to school full time this past year and graduated from ASU. It was a hard decision to make but it paid off. He starts a great job on Tuesday!! Emmett and Fisher are growing fast and are keeping us way too busy. So check out what we have been doing this month.

 Emmett loves giving hugs!

Fisher is sitting up and smiling lots.

 Emmett got this sweet toy from Grandma and Grandpa Hawks for Christmas.

 We spent Christmas at home this year. It was great to relax with our little family. Emmett would open one present and play with it for an hour or MORE! By the end of the day I was opening presents for him so we could be done. 

After Christmas we went to Las Vegas to meet with Amy to celebrate Dave's Birthday.

We picked up four bunk beds at Costco and put them all in the truck. The clerk at Costco thought we were crazy but then I explained we were mormon and we had 10 kids at home along with the 2 with us. ;)

Dave's yummy birthday cake. Actually it LOOKED yummy but it tasted not so yummy! I made the cake then ate it and thought something was a little off. The oil I used was 3 years OLD!! Yikes! We just ate the frosting.   

  Emmett made us light the candles a lot so he could blow them out. 

King Emmett!

 This was a great park we found in Las Vegas. 

Thanksgiving 2011!

We had our annual trip to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. Check out these hot ladies!

The Bairds were able to join us for Thanksgiving.

Emmett loves wrestling with his older cousins.

We heated the pool and enjoyed ourselves way too much!!

 You think we could fit more people?!

We enjoyed a fun day at the park to play football.

This huddle was very intense!

Check out this QB!

Another day we went on a hike at Calico Basin.

And this is how we felt when the vacation ended!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lindsey and I got real crafty and made this leaf garland. 

(way cuter than Pottery Barns!)

I had to make a cute turkey and Pilgrim/Indian too!

Turtle or Rock?

What do you think? 

Emmett thinks its a turtle!

Emmett & Edward:True Brothers

Emmett just got another brother. He loves watching him climb the trees and just loves how his skin sparkles. He even loves to pet his hair. 

P.S.  I got this doll as a joke from my sis-in-law. I have had it in the box but Emmett saw it and totally wanted to play with the doll. We went to a Veterans Day parade later in the day and Emmett refused to leave "Edward" at home so "Edward" came along. I have never gotten so many weird looks from people!!

Fisher: 5 Months Old!

Wow! Time has flown by!! Fisher is 20 lbs and still gaining more pounds as we speak. He loves playing with Emmett and just laying around. He rolled over a few weeks ago but hasn't done it agian. I was actually doing the dishes and found him on his belly. Maybe Emmett helped him. ;) We got out the jumper and he enjoys it too.
