Merry Christmas!!All he wants for Christmas is his...He sang this at his school program and was so proud that he really did lose both his front teeth just in time for Christmas. Santa did not bring him front teeth. I don't think he really does that.Christmas morning! Soooo fun. The kids were so excited and said it was the best Christmas. I liked the waking up before 6 a.m. part. Fun!

Well Good Morning Mr. Christmas!this is our front door greeting...and one Brett took whilst shoveling our driveway. We are snowed in!

Perfect for a cozy family Christmas day!

One! Happy Birthday Handsome!
You bring our family so much happiness!

Cuties! We had so much fun trick-or-treating.
My little knights...and could London be a cuter little Witch?

I love this pic. It was taken at Gardner village.

Jones cracks me up!

October Blessings

The Great Pumkin PatchWasn't October the best month? This yearI loved October.

It was the best weather.


Carson was off track! yay


Dennis was created.

Jonezie says light, fan, what's that.

Does not crawl. Won't.

Jonezie learns how to eat an ice cream without getting

a brain freeze. We were able to trick or treat in St. George.
(with Brett)

Carson wanted to go trick or treating around the

whole "blog"

Heroes, The Office, and Chuck are still good.
I could go on and on.

The Mayletts loved October.

My BIG tough guy

My little tough guy

Or is it the other way around?? I love my boys

Just Dance....

I feel like little girls are meant to dance! I loved watching London at her first dance experience. She overdoes the graceful arms and her skip is hilarious...but the cutest thing ever. She gets to go with Julia and Katie two of her favorite little friends. It's good to be four. She also started pre-school atJoey Brough's. So cute... London loves it!

NINE MONTHS!

Time does go faster when you are having fun. Jonah is so much fun. He is such a bright little guy...he says uh oh(not on demand) He waves bye bye, he plays bonk, he clucks at you. Sometimes when I kiss his extremely kissable cheeks over and over he thinks he has to return the favor then he clucks his tongue trying to mimic the kiss sound. He also tries to be so manly and always use his deep voice when gooing and gaaing. How cute he is. He just melts my heart.

Happy nine months my beautiful baby!

I give it a 10.0

Even though it takes a small miracle to get The Dickie Clan all in the same place at the same time, it's a pretty fun time. We went to the rec. center and the main attraction turned out to be diving...especially daring each other to go off the highest dive. There were a handful of Dickies on the highest dive for 40 minutes. Debating. 10 minutes Jason...20 minutes we hear Tash yelling "I'm going to Maui" then 20 more minutes of pacing, all of us at the bottom yelling "just do it!" Finally Brent took the plunge...and then Jessica and Zak. Brave! I was pretty impressed. Brett and Eddie and all of the kids went off some pretty decent high dives. Carson even went on the "big" diving board twice. That kid is so cute. He said that under water he was thinking "oops, I don't know if I'll make it up to the top" poor guy. Overall I give our fun day at the rec. center a 10.

Girls Day!

We often get to celebrate our little girls. Days are full of princess activities, tea parties, dress up, house (or as Laney Jessup calls it...home), polly pockets, babies, pet shop, story time, a show, Hullabaloo and start over again. If we get all of these things in at least twice a day my little London has a happy day. Otherwise, at the end of the day I get the

"Mom, we just didn't do anything fun today!"

The End Is Near

Summer is so fun!

is one of Carson's most redundant quotes. I agree! Summer has been full of friends, movies, splashparks, lunch groups, campouts, grandma and grandpa's house, barbeques, getaways-the list could go on and on. We had such a fun Summer.

Jane, Amber, and Krista throw a decent party givingthe kids some great Summer memories.

Here are some pics:

Featuring a handful of Bengtzens, a couple of Doutts, a few Mildenhalls, a group of Atkinsons, a plethora of Hottons, a pinch of Rudys, a magnitude of Basingers, a good amount of Scholes, a chunk of Maylett, and a Baird.

(if I forgot someone it was probably on purpose and means I don't really like you)

Love you all!

"Summer is so fun"
