Update

Everything is going really well with our family. We really enjoyed our Christmas vacation visiting family. Now Jared is back to rotations and Cadie is keeping busy with Liam. We are very blessed and happy.

Happy New Year!





We spent New Years with Aaron and Lori this year. We made good food, watched a movie and played games.It was fun! Lori and Cadie bought hats for everyone.

Reasha and Liam


We got to spend a little time with Jared's family during the Christmas Holiday it was a lot of fun but not long enough. Liam fell asleep on Reasha's lap while we were all playing Guitar Hero.

The Nativity



This year we spent Christmas with Cadie's family. Every Christmas Eve they read the birth story of Jesus and act it out. This year Liam got to be baby Jesus. He was asleep for the whole thing. After the nativity each member of the family gets to read, sing or say something about the Savior. It was a very touching program. I am so thankful for this tradition so that we can focus on Jesus during the Christmas season.

First Snow



Papa was so excited to take his grandkids on a four wheeler ride in the snow in the backyard so we bundled Liam up. He didn't show much emotion but he looked cute.

Cousins Sydney and Addy



Liam's cousins from Cadie's side came to visit. Liam loves his cousins. Sydney is four and baby Addy is 3 months she was premature so she is really little.

Mi Mi and Papa



I know Liam is is starting to recognize family even though we don't get to see each other very often. While we were visiting Papa taught Liam how to sort of crawl. He gets up on his hands and knees and moves a little then he plops down on his chest and sort of pushes his legs and scoots across the room. He is a lot closer to crawling than he was.

Liam started the shopping trip awake but then he fell asleep and I didn't have his car seat so I put him in the shopping cart on some coats. He slept like a log the rest of the time.

Carlyn and Matt's Wedding




My beautiful cousin Carlyn got married the 20th of December here in AZ so a lot of my family came. It was a fabulous wedding.

Dancing





Here are pictures of Liam dancing with Cass, Jared and Nate at the reception. I also like this picture of Austin and Tana dancing.

Future baller



Here is Liam playing with a basketball uncle Tyler gave him. He loves this basketball. His form is unusually good for a seven month old. I think we have future basketball star.

Uncle Austi


Austin and Cassidy came to visit for a week before Carlyn's wedding. It was so much fun! Here is Austin reading to Liam. Austin is a fantastic uncle and Liam adores him.
