Tried to get a group shot today after church - because it has been so very long since we've had one.  We almost got a good one . . . . .

That two year old!  I tell ya -- he's something else!

Who Hair

Rae has been having way too much fun lately -
as you can plainly see . . .

The obsession of the week is "Who hair" from the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.  They actually stayed in this hair all day!  Fed Grandpa's horses in it, went to a party in it at Grandma's, and spent the whole day in Who hair.  Silly silly!

So when you need something to do this holiday - think WHO HAIR!  Fun for the whole family - except Kelly!  :  )

Merry Christmas!!

Santa!

Yahoo! We got to see Santa last night! He visited our ward party last night and was good enough to see all the kids. Fun stuff!
I wasn't quite sure how Bran would react. You never know - right?
We got to the primary room, which was surprisingly empty. We were a little late - and all the other kids must have already seen him. Anyway, we walked in and SANTA was sitting in a big chair, across the room. Bran stood for a minute .... looked at santa.... then S M I L E !!! Huge - smile and he sprinted across the room and jumped on to his lap. He LOVED LOVED Santa - poor Santa was hugged and hugged by Bran. Brannen told him that he wanted a Hulk, and a gun - boom - boom - for Christmas.  I am sure Santa didn't understand a word of Brannen speak --- but he'll get it right. He is Santa after all.

Oh the fun the fun! Merry Christmas!

The Helper

I have a two year old helper.  You all know just how much help he is to me!

He cooks the meals . . . . 

He tends the babies . . . .

(Rae had to have a computerized doll for the weekend for her Child Development class - and Bran was totally interested.  He loved to tend "Cody".  And yes - we did lock Cody in the car for the night when we were tired of tending him!  Don't judge us too harshly - we have a REAL baby that wakes us up in the night!)

He keeps Kelly's ipod touch in great working order . . .  . 

He makes sure there are plenty of fun apps on it.

And he also manages to stay so HANDSOME!

  It is a hard job, but somebody around here has to do it!

The Ghost Skunk!

Kelly is one great storyteller.  A talent he definitely got from his mom.  Bran has been asking for stories a lot from him lately - mostly in the early morning when he is awake but we are all still in bed.  Bran's favorite has been the tales of the "ghost skunk" who lives close to our house and apparently visits in the night when we are asleep.  We even find his tracks on our windows some mornings!  :  )  Amazing!  Bran is talking about the "ghost skunk" non-stop.

Thanksgiving at Grandma's

I am a blogger slacker lately!  Here are some better late than never Thanksgiving photos.  We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer for Thanksgiving this year.  Ate too much and had a lot of fun.  The kids enjoyed some sledding outside.  Good times.
