Jacob Drew Karely and Mat

All the kids

We have been watching Mat and Drew(my borther Paul's boys) off and on for the last few weeks. My kids have loved having their cousins over to play so much. Karley has really noticed Mat. She follows him around the house and tries to do what he is doing. He has taught her a lot in the last week. She is able to pull herself up to a standing position in the middle of the room without assistance. She can balance for severl seconds before she falls. So it was no surprise when she took her first steps today (see video) It is a good thing she is not very good at it. It's only a matter of time now before she is on the run. Sorry the video is side ways. No matter how many times I rotated the video it would always come up sideways.

Happy New Year

AREN'T WE SPOILED Christmas was crazy fun. Christmas Eve was spend at Wendy's parents. The kids had a great time opening gifts and playing with all the toys grandma, grandpa, and uncle Nathan got them. Jacob Caden and Andrew on the floor, and if you look very closly in the back you can tell DeAnna is holding both Karley and Siena. What a way to break in the new sister-n-law.

Grandma Fox and the girls in there "preteen outfits" Karley in the black leather skirt, Siena in the leapord skirt. We didn't even plan to coordinate the outfits.

Jacob Caden and Karley with some of their weaver cousins, grandparents and uncle Bond. We spent Christmas day and many of the days that followed with the Weaver family.We had a great time at a museum in Long Beach. Yes they are sitting on a real missle. The kids loved the museum. All the way home my nephew Tyer asked "Can we go to another museum tomarrow? "

Weaver cousins playing football at the park. This has become a regular activity when all the cousins get together. When all the kids are there, there's enough kids these day to play a real game especially if the dads and uncles get involved.
