The nativity

this year we got to do the Nativity with the Gilberg cousins. Sadie was super excited to be Mary and yes...Mason was the donkey again!!!

alvin, alvin......ALVIN

For Christmas, Santa brought tickets to the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and shirts for the kids to wear. They loved it. (I don't think Mason has ever smiled like this for a picture before) Mason loves being Alvin. He wants to wear his Alvin hoodie everyday and even to sleep in. I get it away from him to wash it, but he loves it!

Note to self...Don't forget to add water:)

Eliza's Surgery

Last Week Eliza had her tonsils out. That morning you can see she had no clue what was going to happen!



And then she woke up. She was so sad. It breaks your heart. Because she is so little for her size when she woke up they gave her a bottle (she hasn't had a bottle for over a year) But needing the comfort she LOVES her bottle that they gave her at the hospital:)


It has been a hard week but I think we are finally doing a little better. She has that cute, tonsils out, nasil voice, and we haven't been able to cuddle enough...which I LOVE!!!

Olivia our angel...

Thanksgiving Weekend

I was lucky enough to spend 8 days with my family in Vernal for Thanksgiving. We had family pictures (wow, quite the posterity, mom and dad:)) We had dinner at Nicole and Coles new house, and she was an awesome host!! And of course, we Black Friday shopped with the girls...so much fun!!

Olivia and her cute smile!

It is so fun to watch her personality start to show. Scott can make her laugh, and it is adorable!

Mason as Optimus Prime, Sadie as her own invention of a vampire-butterfly, and Eliza as her cute little halloween self at the School Carnival!

Olivia and her friend Mialynn in their matching costumes at the trunk-or-treet. She slept through the entire thing:)

Grandma Carol had fun helping Eliza trick or treat, but it was exausting!

Never enough Candy for Mason!

Scott and I after going to a super fun Halloween party

Eliza is 2!!!

I can't believe my Ellie is 2!! She had a great "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" birthday. She is so much fun, we can't get enough of her.

Getting ready for halloween

I love this time of year!! Of coarse as we get ready for Halloween, you can see that Sadie's jack-o-lantern smile and Eliza's bed head fit right in. And no, I didn't steal the pie from Martha Stewart...it is a Sadie and Sara original!!
Happy Spooking Everyone!!

Blessing Day

Olivia Jeanne Gilberg was blessed on Sunday, October 11, 2009. She was exactly 1 month old. It was so fun to have so much family around...Thanks to everyone who traveled so far!

Eliza's world has changed!

It took Eliza 3 weeks before she would hold the baby. She is more smiling for the camera than about holding the baby:) Eliza will give Olivia her binky if she is sad, I think she is gradually getting used to the idea that Olivia is here to stay. We are truly enjoying having our sweet little baby here in our home!!



She has more hair than any of the other kids had when they were born.

Mason's first day of Preschool!!

Nicole and Cole Hacking

Nicole's wedding was last weekend and it was Beautiful. Her colors were adorable and the little girls dresses looked so so so cute!!! The trip to Vernal was quick but worth it. Now I am home waiting for the baby to come!!

Sadie's first day of 1st grade

She was definitely more ready to go than I was for her to go to first grade. Yes, she came home exhausted, but she loves her teacher, eating lunch at school, and getting to play on the big playground at recess.

Mason's #5

I still can't believe it, but yes Mason is 5. He is still into Cars, Animals, and Dinosaurs. His favorite movies are the Ice Age movies, and he can't wait till Dawn of the Dinosaurs comes on DVD. For his birthday we went to Jumping Jacks wich proved to be a great idea. The kids had a blast and got super tired!!
