Ella Vanella

I thought this was pretty funny. Enjoy....

Busy Chase

Chase started crawling on Christmas day and this week he's figured out how to pull himself up on furniture. He is so busy all the time and puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. I am vacuuming all the time to try and keep stuff off the floor but he manages to find it all still. Just this week he's choked on Ella's hair clip, a top to an otter pop wrapper and a chicken in a biscuit all lodged in his throat. I can't take my eyes off him ever.

LANDONMAN

Landon came in the other day with this wonderful ensemble, I said, "What are you doing?" He said,"I'm LANDONMAN, here to save you!"

Let It Snow

Last weekend we went to Pinetop for a wedding. It was so beautiful to see snow and Landon didn't want to go inside the entire time, I, on the other hand was freezing and didn't pack accordingly, but it was really fun for the kids.

Landon and Ella helped to build a snowman. He was very small but very cute. We had no gloves so he had to be small.

Let the snowball fight begin... The face off....

Oh.... Landon won.

Family Reunion

We had a Haggard Family Reunion while my mom was visiting. Here is our four generation picture with my Nanny, Mom, Me and Ella.

This side of the family loves music, so my Nanny had all the cousins sing "If the Savior stood beside me" it was very sweet.

Here are my mom and her brothers singing for all the kids.

They were so cute on the floor, all listening.

All of the cousins waiting there turn to sing...

Me and Chase enjoying the piano.

Our family pic with my Mom and Nanny. I went home and collapsed after this! The season had done me in! Merry Chrismas and a Happy New year.

Mom's Happy New Year Visit

My mom and brother flew in from Kansas to ring in the new year with us. We had a blast having them here. We miss them so much.

A little Karaoke to start off the night...Kaytlyn and Lizeth

Such joy radiates through their little selves.

Christmas with the McLaws

We had Christmas with Wayne's family at our house this year. It would have been perfect if dinner wasn't an hour late. Better Luck next time...
Ella, Rick, Tricia, Me, Wayne, Linda, John.

All the kids reinacting the "Manger" scene. Chase was the baby Jesus this year.

Wayne and his BFF and nephew Tavo,

Temple Lights

It's just not Christmas without seeing the Temple Lights. They were especially beautiful this year.

The Girls

The Boys

And all those cute cousins together, they are such good friends!

Christmas at Grandma Jarman's

I love going to my Grandma Jarman's for Christmas. She is so wonderful I just love her to pieces!

The kids were very happy with their presents



Hugs and Kisses to Grandma Jarman for being so great!

Gingerbread house makein!

This year we made Gingerbread houses with Aunt Tonya and the kids. They had a blast and so did I with all that candy! Landon wanted to do it all by himself this year.

His turned out really cute, complete with a gingerbread man and a tree with a tire swing.

Ella had some help from Aunt Tonya because she couldn't decorate and stuff her cheeks at the same time, so she chose the latter, more important task.

She had a lot of fun and was very pleased with what Aunt Tonya made for her.

Me and Chase followed Ella's example and tried everything too.

Wayne and Chase hung out on the floor for some quality father, son bonding.

Christmas at Spencer and Lizeths

This year we had my family Christmas at Spencer and Lizeths. We made some serious mexican food that was soooo good. Then my camera died and I only got two pictures. Lovely.
