A fun video of Shyler and her cousins

The other day we drove up to my brother's house and had a really good time hanging out with them. (Well, I can't speak for them, but I loved every minute!)
Shyler's cousins Grace and Mary got tutu's for Christmas, and they are Dancing Queens, so I got some cute video of them having fun... I love going up there for visit's and chatting with my sister in law. She always makes a yummy from-scratch meal too, so that's always a bonus!

Another Day...

I've been inspired to try and write on here more and maybe someday I'll print it out like my friend Ramona in a fun, bound book!
So yesterday I made dinner for my sister Kimberly who was home with her twin boys and two little girls. I went over and held the boys, Tomasi and Timoteo (Timmytayo as Tayla likes to call him) while Kimberly and Masi ate their dinner. Holding them was so nice. They were quiet and peaceful, and beautiful. Little Timmy was sleeping and little Tommy was just looking up at me. Babies are so amazing! How could anyone not love a little baby!
I have to say though, it is going to be so much work for Kimberly and Masi. I don't envy that. But if anyone was meant to be a mother of twins, it's my sister Kimberly. She is so patient and loving with all children. They picked the perfect mother to come to.

Boys Boys Boys!!

It's time for the boys to start catching up with the girls in our family! Kimberly helped by popping out two sweet and gorgeous boys yesterday morning! 6lb 7oz for one and 6lb 14oz for the other! Great size for twins!! They decided on names today; Tomasi (Thomas) Kendall Malo and Timoteo(Timothy) Epa Malo. Ionatana had a bit of trouble breathing and was in the NICU for most of the day yesterday until my brother Matthew gave him a blessing and soon after he was released to stay with mommy and daddy in the room without the help of the breathing machine! yea!!
I went to see them today and they look great and are so beautiful! Kimberly is doing great and plans to stay a few days in the hospital since she had a c-section. I love my new twinner nephews!

Camera for Christmas

Shyler received a camera for christmas from my parents and she barely goes anywhere without it. She's taken over 500 pictures with it...and it does video...so currently her new thing is to use it as a sound recorder and she records herself just saying random things so she can play it back and listen....what a dork. Anyway she's got this fun little editing thing on the camera that she and I had some fun with. I've included some of her pictures, and we'll see if you can guess which one we edited. :)

Sledding in 2009!

New Years Eve we went to Cole's grandparents house. They have a steep road to the side of their house that we always sled on..Well this year the snow had melted a bit and some big snow vehicles had been up the road, so it was just barely covering the gravel, but it still worked and the kids had a blast!

Shyler and her goofy faces...

My hot husband Cole. Love him.

My cute little boy, Easton

This is my first ever attempt at snowboarding...Note that those are Cole's big snow boots, his jacket, and those pants are not insulated, or padded...I look hot, huh...hahaha NOT!

My first wreck...yea, bruised my tailbone pretty good...as I mentioned before, there is probably an inch of packed snow over the gravel on the road..ouch...but I got up and went down the hill again..only wrecking two more times before I decided that was enough for the day...haha
