Visit from the Oldham's

Our good friends from Tucson stopped in for a couple of days on their way up to San Fransisco. It was a surprise for the kids and really cute. Terrilyn went to answer the door and peeked out the front window and was trying to figure out why Jason was at the window and when she opened the door there was Keri to give her a gigantic hug, in ran Jason and almost mowed Alexander down to embrace him with a hug. They all sure missed each other. It was a fun weekend and great for me the kids were non stop entertained.
We drove down to the strip one night (Dale has never been to Vegas) and it turned out disasterous(we had 2 different vehicles got seperated so some of us got out to meet the others and nothing went as planned). Traffic was crazy and Dale couldn't park in the parking garages with the car topper on. But I think the kids were OK because we were out walking around and saw the volcano go off at the Mirage.Sunday afternoon after we went to sacrament meeting we drove to see the temple this was the first time any of us had seen the Las Vegas Temple. Jason and Seamus were asleep in the cars so I stayed back with them and the men walked around with the kiddos. Some of these pictures were taken on cell phones so they aren't as clear as they could be.On Monday we played hard at Circus Circus riding rides and having a BLAST.





We had so much fun while they were here and OHHH how my kids are missing their buddies. The only thing to make it better would have been having Lori and Sean with us as well. Can't wait for the next visit!!!!!

Seamus' 10 month pictures

These turned out sooo cute. Those of you that know me know that every month for the first year I take the kids in on their month birthday to take pictures and usually do it with the theme for that month. Seamus was all smiles and happy in the lobby but as soon as we were taken back into the studio he was so serious. I also try to photo any milestones because I am horrible at writing them down and this month he has started standing on his own. Enjoy!!! Well worth the watch. :)

Merry Christmas!!!!

Terrilyn loves to sing Feliz Navidad but cant seem to pronounce it correctly but it is too funny.

the rest of these i was trying to get Seamus standing on his own but he also likes to body slam you

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas

Virtual Friends

In moving my middle 2 children left behind their bestest friends...Alexander and Jason have been best buds since they were in the hospital together. Terrilyn and Keri are almost too much alike...but separating them broke both mommies hearts. This is how they play now...too cute and so sad at the same time.

Terrilyn sat down at the computer with a doll and Kerri says "you want to play dolls, hold on I will go get my dolly" and comes back with her doll they show them off to each other. Then they all start coloring pictures and show them to each other. While they are coloring then the start singing songs. We love Skype at our house we get to see grandma and grandad, we saw daddy when he was in Alaska last fall, and now we see our buddies from Tucson.

Ok, I know its been a while since I last posted so there is a lot that I caught up on so read down to the "we made it" post.

Christmas letter pictures

We stayed in town for Thanksgiving and per tradition we took our Christmas letter pictures. This proved to be interesting with me having to set up the camera on a makeshift tripod then setting the timer and getting back in to position and making sure that everyone was looking at the camera at the same time. Some of them are really cute though.

Random pictures of cuteness

Poor Seamus I have been so busy unpacking and getting things together that sometimes I forget where he is...and when i realize that it is too quiet I usually find something like this

Cameron is an excellent big brother and very helpful

Terrilyn and Alexander are always up for taking a picture but i really took this one because i couldn't stop laughing at Alex and all the cars that he had stuffed into his pockets

Seamus is loving eating solid foods

the other day Terrilyn and Alexander where eating some yogurt and left it out on the floor where the crawling Seamus was able to get to it and i came out to the living room to discover this cutie covered in yogurt.

This one just cracks me up

one afternoon we caught Cameron out on the block wall in the backyard dancing to his own music

Halloween

I feel awful I have a total of 3 pictures taken for this past Halloween. The bad part is that we had 3 different chances to trick or treat. Cameron's school had a trick or treat night the week before and the kids made quite a haul. Then there was the ward trunk or treat with more candy. However when it actually came to Halloween night the younger 2 refused to eat dinner so Jeremy just took Cameron out.

Here is a clip of Seamus who is fearless and crawls to and on anything.
