For a couple days now Kenley has been trying to get me to post this video. Korbin was being SO cute and just sitting there watching Baby Einstein, I had to shoot this video. It is way cute.
Wow, that is really hard to see, but that is Konner's first lost tooth!! He had been complaining that his tooth hurt and I just figured it was cuz we haven't been to the dentist in a long time. Anyhow, I felt it and sure enough it moved!! A couple days later the thing fell out. Konner was so excited that the tooth fairy would be coming. Can't believe my little boy is starting to loose teeth.

On New Year's Eve we met up with the Lovell's and Felstead's and went bowling. The boys had so much fun. We got there late so they got their own lane, just the two of them. It was pretty cute watching them roll the ball down the lane. Derek would kinda kick up his leg after he got done rolling it. Konner never stuck around long enough to see what his ball would do. (Takes after his mom..) They both got better scores than mommy! Guess bumper lanes are a great added bonus. I should probably bowl with the boys next time, I only bowled a 65? or something like that. :o)
Here is Sydnee (Felstead) finishing up one of her turns. She did really well!! Way to go Syd!
Kenley is a really good bowler. He has a different way of throwing the ball, but is really good!! He didn't like the fact I was taking pictures of him, he claimed it messed up his concentration. Hehee, whatever, he is good anyway.
While in St. George, we made a stop at my aunt Tonya's house to see a very special person! My Grandma Brinkerhoff. Grandpa passed away just after Thanksgiving, and Grandma has cancer in her hips and lungs. We don't know how long we will have her around and anyone who knows her knows that she is feisty, so me may have her for another 5 or so years, but you never know so we made sure we went and saw her. I do love my Grandma B!!
This is Aunt Tonya (Nielson). Grandma is staying with their family most of the time while she is getting her chemo and other nasty cancer killing stuff done.

While in Blanding for Christmas break, we did a lot of playing in the snow. We got 2 tubes from Blake and Angie [thank you so much by the way!! :o) ] and we tied them to the back of Grandpa's four wheeler and towed us around. We also went sledding/tubing down Beverly & Dustin's driveway. And finally we went tubing down the gravel pit just east of Grandpa and Ma's house. It was so much fun!! We all had a total blast!! Here are a bunch of the pictures I took of the whole thing. Enjoy. Even Korbin got involved. He looks so small in the tube. But not for long!
For anyone who hasn't seen Korbin in a while, here are a few pictures of him on the move. Little chunker has lost a lot of his baby fat already (minus the cute edible cheeks.. thank heavens) he rolls all over the place and can usually get to something he wants that way. He is getting pretty mobile and just now starting to get up on his knees and rocks back and forth. Soon enough he will be trying to crawl on our wood floors. Should be fun!
Korbin is Mr. baby personality also. So friendly and talkative, and loves to be talked to.

When was the last time anyone has seen this much snow in Southeastern Utah? This is Recapture Reservoir just north of Blanding. The rest of these are from Moab. So much snow and so cold we couldn't keep the snow and ice off the windshield. Needless to say, the large majority of the ride to Blanding for Christmas was a scary one.
This is actually on I-70 just before the Moab exit. As you can see, the wipers weren't doing a whole lot to the snow on the windshield.
It's gonna be a long winter. I am really tired of shoveling snow already. This day I did have help, kinda...
Derek wanted to help with the driveway. So of course I let him. I was done anyway. Hehehee. He was sure cute and a lot of help anyway.
That is a lot of snow! About a half a foot maybe? We even got more than that later, we just weren't here to "enjoy" it. BTW: Thanks to whomever shoveled our driveway when we were gone.. That I'm sure was fun. :o)
