The Holidays of 2011

We gave the boys an early present in time for their pajama day at school. They loved their new robes.

We enjoyed a nice visit and dinner with Great-Grandma before we went to UT for the holidays.

For the holidays, we were fortunate to be able to spend them with our families in Utah. We arrived there Christmas Eve where the festivities began with the Milius side of the family and then so on. We enjoyed every moment of our time there. We had fun doing many things, but most of all just enjoyed family time with siblings and cousins. Lots of memories means lots of pictures so the hard part was narrowing them to a few. :) Here we go ...

Christmas with Family

Family Christmas at Great-Grammy and Great-Papa's ... It was definitely a Christmas of sharing special memories. And of course watching the kids enjoy the fun of presents.

Megan cared more about the ribbons and paper.

The boys got certificates to go play golf, which put a big smile on their faces.

Tried to get all three girls' picture but Megan was not wanting to sit.

Kylee and Megan asking each other why everyone is making a fuss over them :)

That's why ... they are just too cute!

Megan's 1st Christmas

This is what it is all about ...

These 3 have been together since preschool. They have shared so many memories.

Megan is exploring things from new heights now

Brayden - 11 yrs old

Our big 6th grader! Starting junior high has been more of a adjustment for mommy than Brayden. We are so proud of him. He has begun the new school year on the right path. He enjoys his classes/teachers and is involved in the band again this year, moving from the trumpet onto the french horn. His drive continues on with sports, golf and soccer being the new ones at the present time. He loves being busy and active outside with his friends, especially with his daddy. He is an avid Angels Fan and is supporting his team with hopes of the playoffs in mind. He also loves playing the WII. Brayden is definitely our competetive one! We love his competitiveness and determination.

Landon - 9 yrs old

Landon is in 4th grade now and has not only made the transition into the upper grade, but also with attending a new school. It's been an adjustment for him with challenges along the way, but he has a great attitude and is doing well. Playing baseball, hanging out with his friends, riding skateboards and jumping bikes off of ramps and curbs are on Landon's hobby list. Oh, and don't leave snacking off the list. :) He is our tough, yet sensitive one. When you need a hug, you can count on Landon.

Cameron - 6 yrs old

Jaxson - 3 yrs old

Those big blue eyes and dimpled cheeks melt our hearts. He just started preschool and is absolutely loving it. He gets his backpack and clothes prepared the day before school :) Jaxson is taking after his brother Landon. He is a comedian and acts gooney just like Landon did at a young age. He is also a big competitor like his big borther Brayden. He is awesome at baseball and can't wait to play. He loves any outdoor activity and has amazing energy. He always has a smile on his. He is so fun and he loves all of the attention he gets from his brothers and Papa. His happiness is contagious to all who are around him.He is a joy in our lives and mommy's buddy.

Megan - 1 yr old

She has been the highlight of our lives this past year. We are all enjoying the many new things she is doing. She is growing way too fast. She is such a good baby. Her cheeks, thighs, and buddha belly prove she is a great eater. She is a snuggler and a cuddler. All you have to do is look at her and she smiles. She has a voice and she loves to babble. Her knew sound is ba-ba-ba and, of course, da-da-da. She gets everything she can get to and is everywhere. She is walking and trying to be a climber. It is so fun watching her walk around with a baby doll in one arm and a litle purse in the other. She just has two teeth. She is definitely loved and spoiled by mommy and daddy, but also by her big brothers. They have given her the nicknames "pretty girl" and "Megs". She lights up when she sees them.
