Welcome Brightyn Rich - you will "light up" our lives !

She sure has a set of lungs ! She may turn out to be quite the feisty baby !

They fed her within 20 minutes after she was born - maybe she was crying because she was hungry !? She is a GREAT eater :)

Brightyn is a sweet little thing, very petite features. I don't think she looks a bit like Payson did at birth. She was born at 5:05 pm, and was 7 pounds 1 ounce.

Cute little family - I love how Payson's little hand is on HIS baby sister.

She has quite a bit of hair !

Landon competed in his first competition yesterday and today. He said it went well, and he had a great time. He placed 26th in a 50+ field of competitors. He goes to Crossfit Unknown (Chans Porter) We weren't able to get up to see him (in Logan) - hopefully next time.

Vacation fun ?!?!

This has been a very different vaca for Cam (and me). We have both been sick, and haven't done much of anything exciting.

She did perk up on Jan 2nd, and we had Tagg and Thatcher up about 11:30. She is great with the babies.

We went outside to check on the animals for a bit.

It has been so cold, but they are doing well.

This morning we had Payson for a few hours. He and Cam shared a favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs with ham and cheese. Look at those beautiful dark eyes :)

Again we went to the barnyard. It was very very cold, and we didn't stay long. The turkey was ready to go after "little ones", so Cam held Payson most of the time.

Following the leader....................

Payson didn't quite know what to think of Billy this close. A little scary for him, but Billy wouldn't hurt a flea.

Cam found "If you are Happy and you know it" on You Tube, and Payson loved loved loved it. He kept saying, AGAIN, AGAIN !

This is his favorite toy to play with at our house. Cam helped him build it really high

Having fun :)

Later in the day about 4pm, We had the big boys up for a sleigh ride on the small bank behind our home.

A couple of Yahoos

Grandpa was a great help - don't know what we'd do without him !

This "hill" just wasn't cutting it................

So we moved to the steeper part, and it was much better. Things went well until Tagg turned into Mohammed Ali when Treyson did something he didn't like..............

Then we came in for HOT CHOCOLATE !

Crazy kids - that's for sure.
After this picture was taken, they went BACK OUT and played until it was dark. Then Rog took the boys home, and my mom brought us dinner and a pumpkin pie ! She takes such good care of me when I don't feel well. I sure hope I get feeling better by Monday. Being Sick is the PITS :(

Happy New Years

Grandma D pulling Thatch along

They tried pulling the orange sleighs behind the Ranger, but it didn't work. So they decided to break out the big tubes, and it worked so much better !

It was such a beautiful day. Sunny, and not terribly cold. The boys had a great time. Unfortunately Cam was sick all day, throwing up. Rog stayed home with her.

The little boys looked so fat all bundled up. They just trudged around, following each other.

We had hamburger stew, rolls, and hot chocolate in the shop.

Kacey is such a trooper. She is less than a week from having this baby girl, and she is just acting like it's no big deal. She seems happy and content, although she would be happy if SHE would make an appearance SOON ! She has such a cute little (BIG) belly !
