He's Arrived

We are so pleased to announce that Matthew and Aubrey's little baby boy arrived at 6:37 am this morning, February 7, 2010. He was 6 pounds and 13 ounces and 19 inches long. Matthew and Aubrey are still deciding on a name, but you can tell they are very pleased to have their new baby, who seemed very content and happy, and he even seemed to be singing in his sleep.

Here are some pictures of the new little boy, mom and dad, brand new grandparents, and aunts Jenna and Emrie, and uncles Christopher and Isaac.

Rexburg Snow Festival 2010

We attended the annual Rexburg Snow Festival which is held at Smith Park, just one block from our home. The kids enjoyed sledding, buggy rides, snow bowling (Emrie got a strike!), and some hot chocolate.

Kitchen Fun

Emrie and Isaac can play about anywhere, but often it ends up right on the kitchen floor. Emrie started off doing some drawing. Unfortunately, dad did not realize she was using a permanent marker, and yes she did get some on her pants and shirt. Fortunately, they were her old play clothes.

Later Isaac and Emrie turned our pots and pans into a drum set.

Some pictures of Emrie and Isaac

Here are some pictures of our two little ones from this past week.

Asleep at the Computer

Emrie and Isaac have discovered the Wiggles and Kipper the Dog on Neflix, which they mostly watch on the computer. I noticed the noise from the dining room (where we have our computer) became very quiet. The show had ended and no sight or sound of Emrie. Well, that was because she had fallen fast asleep sometime near the end of the show.

Happy Birthday Christopher, our New Teenager

Christopher turned 13 on January 9. He is now a teenager, and we have noticed this school that has suddenly become very aware of his appearance, like the right clothes, hair just right, etc. We had a fun celebration with Matthew and Aubrey.

Welcoming in the New Year

We started a new tradition for welcoming in the New Year, Caramel Popcorn. Cindy modified a couple of recipes and it turn out great!
