These are some pictures of Jake when he was little.

Keaton is a cute little trouble maker just like his dad!:)

For some reason he thinks I do not put the dishes in the dishwasher correctly, so he helps me rearrange them.

Taylor is my big helper.

I noticed today how grown up he is looking.

James is so grown up too!

His new favorite phrase is: "Oh, I have a good idea....

Lets make chocolate, peanut butter, and graham crackers.

Lets play basketball, I'll be the Eagles, and you can be the Patriots (the Eagles are the winners).

Lets tie mom up, and hang her like a pinata."

These have all been some of his GREAT ideas!

The boys are training for a dog sled race:)  They have been watching Balto alot!!!

Keaton liked to sit in the box and be pulled around.   They pulled him in that box for about an hour.

They were all worn out after that, so they curled up on my bed to watch a movie.

We've moved Keaton into his own room now.  I can't believe how fast my little baby is turning into a mischievous, silly, trouble making little boy.  I love him so much.  He has been crawling all over the place getting cords, pulling magazines off shelves, and unfolding my laundry.  And I thought he'd be the good one:)

We had a Rodeo at our house!

The boys were seeing who could ride the craziest, and then get bucked off.

  On Super bowl Sunday we had a party with Caleb and Bailee, and Hannah and Dallin.  Taylor has been excited about taking pictures with my camera.  So he recorded the event for us with these nice pictures.

It can be fun to see things from a child's point of view!

It is hard not to fall in love with this little boy!

I love Taylor so much, but some times i just feel like tying him up, and taping his mouth shut. 

Don't worry, his brothers helped him out. 

Then they all ganged up on me!

Jake thinks he is so funny, and Taylor had fun taping my mouth shut.

BYU Brothers!

Birthday Boys!!!

It was a week of birthdays for Dallin, Jake, Grandma Elkins, and James.  

I made a horse pinata for James.  I just used cardboard, duct tape, newspaper, paste, toilet paper rolls, crepe paper, and a hot glue gun. 

They hit it over, and over, and over, and it never broke open. 

  Jake took a whack at it, but I had to finally rip open the bottom for the candy to fall out. 

Something else exciting happened at the party.  Caleb and Bailee went out to their car to get James' present.  When they walked outside, they noticed our garbage can was on fire!

It was blazing!  Luckily they went outside and saw it, because it was right next to the house.  Everyone started running in and out of the house carrying big bowls of water to pour on the fire.  It was pretty exciting!  We were really blessed that it was only the garbage can. 

James was very spoiled with all the presents he got.  Thank you everyone!  He LOVES everything sooo much!
