Hailey's first Noel

Miles was really into Santa this year. We heard him get up Christmas morning but instead of coming into our room and announcing that he’s awake he went out in the living room to play with his Santa toys. He was also very helpful. He didn’t mind helping the entire family open all their presents!

Hailey had a very nice first Christmas. I think just seeing Miles excited and ripping open presents kept her happy and excited too. Her favorite toys were empty boxes, gift bags and wrapping paper of course!

It was a simple, sweet, and happy Christmas for our kids.

Quotes 2016

Clay was jumping from tile to tile in our kitchen, then kind of spinning on each tile, careful to stay within the square shape of each tile. I asked, "What are you doing?" and Clay responded, "I'm square dancing!"

Clay, said every time he prays: "Help us to be like the Gospel."

Clay, said another time he prayed for each person in our family that they could "do good" in either school or work when he got to me he said: "...Please bless mom that she can go to the gym." I guess that sticks out to him!

In school Miles was learning about the Great Depression. He was talking on and on about it to me and started talking about Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. He was trying to tell me about the president known as FDR (Roosevelt) but instead he kept saying, "KFC" I couldn't figure out what he meant until he said, "You know, he was president after Hoover, everybody called him KFC". I had to explain he was actually known as FDR! (October 2017)
