January 2012

Can't believe I haven't posted yet this year, feels like I did.  Anyway here's a few photos from the new year.

Liesel's blessing day at church.

Here's Alexus at one of the many, many basketball games we've watched this month.  The team has had a great season.  Our favorite games are when Dad gets excited and jumps up and down.

Liesel was about 2 ft. long and 15 pounds at her month mark.  She can give smiles and tries to talk.  So sweet and innocent, we love her!

Found the Camara!- here's what's been going on.

All the Garner cousins on Christmas Eve-- Olivia, Alexus, Eliza, Madelynn, Lilli, Belle, Liesel, Kale, Jaden and Ellery  at the Priest Lake cabin.

Stark cousins on Christmas Day at the Big H.

Visiting Tomi's grandparents.  Great grandma Marie & grandpa George Walker and Great grandma Delores & grandpa Norman Garner.

A Lesson in Responsibility?

Not sure who's going to learn first.  The kids-- to be responsible for our new chickens.  Or me--to stop taking on more responsibilities.  Should be an adventure.

Thanksgiving 2011
Got to spend Thanksgiving with some of my family at the cabin.  This is Lilli holding Liesel.  It was great to see the Loders and Uncle Zach for the first time since Liesel was born.  Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!  Liesel is three weeks old now.  Her doctor appointment last week showed she's growing well and is over 10 lbs. now.

Still following me?-- finally a new post

Today was Liesel's first day at church. She pretty much slept through it all. She's been a pretty good baby for me. Thinking about all the possible outcomes when I went to the hospital last week, things really ended up the best they could for mom and baby. We're all healthy and well. Alexus & Olivia have had a twinge of jealousy as evidenced by yet another hair cutting incident this week. Lexi's is not noticable this time but Liv's got 1" bangs. I guess she's getting the attention she wanted now. We took time Friday to make some carameled apples and all the girls had a good time. Mostly just the caramel and chocolate got eaten though.

Halloween 2010

Olivia the bunny, Belle the chef, Eliza the cowgirl & Alexus the lion. The twins are already asking how long til they can go "Halloweening" again and get lots of candy. They were really impressed with this holiday!
