Brooke Barnum

My Sister Brooke decided to do that "Couch to 5K" program and
she DID IT!!!!!
of course we had to go watch her and show our support...
Way to go Brooke...you are an inspiration...we LOVE YOU!!!

(My Mom, Myself, Odin, Cort and Grandpa and Grandma Memmott were all there to watch her come thru the finish line...dummy me didn't go to the end of the finish line to catch her running thru but here she is approaching us.)

(She ran the 5K with her Friend Jessica...here they are all done running...such amazing girls.)

Monkeys

My boys being the CRAZY monkeys they always are...this is my point of view from the couch...which is where I spent A LOT of time this pregnancy...

Snow in St. George

The Boys LOVED looking outside at the snow and watching Daddy clean off his car...
they would have LOVED it more if they could have gone and played in it but I didn't have the energy being huge and pregnant to chase them and Daddy was leaving to go back to work...I feel bad now for not sucking it up and taking them out...I don't think Cort has ever played in snow and he is almost 2...oh well I will get him in the snow sometime...

Check out that Belly...

I have been HORRIBLE with this pregnancy and have not taken hardly any photos but here are some on the big day of Odin becoming a Sunbeam...
I am about 34 weeks in these photos...

Jesus Wants me for a SUNBEAM...

My Little Boy is a Sunbeam this year...that is just CRAZY to me...I had to take a picture of him on his first Sunday as a Sunbeam (and Cort wanted his picture too)...He is growing up so fast and in the blink of an eye he will be 8 and be getting baptized, then be 19 and leaving on a mission, and then married and kids...it all comes so fast and I just want to freeze time...he is such a Good Boy and a Good Big Brother...
and we Love him and are so Proud of him Always and Forever...

He has only been to church as a Sunbeam 2 or 3 times this year...how sad is that...I was either sick or he was sick or Cort was sick and now we have a new baby and haven't been out with him either and since Chuck works out of town-if Mommy ain't going then no one is going...so hopefully we will get back to going here soon and he will get back to loving his new Big Boy Class...

It has become a Tradition...

It seems that whenever any family comes from far away we always go to 2 Fat Guys Pizza and eat there...we love their FOOD and we LOVE the owners...so what if the owners are my Aunt and Uncle that doesn't mean I am being prejudice...
I am thinking it has become a FAMILY TRADITION...
this is all of us there on New Years Day...
Thanks Darrin and Debbie for always letting us come swarm your Pizza Joint and for feeding us your YUMMY YUMMY FOOD!!!!

New Years Eve Party

We had our family party for New Years at Aunt Hopies house and we had LOTS of fun...we even stayed up till midnight with our boys and they were such troopers...and my Brother Brandon came with his family and surprised us and that was the BEST!!!!

Here are just Random Pictures after Christmas with my New Camera I got for a Christmas Present...

Christmas Day 2010

We spent Christmas Day with Chucks Parents and we had a lot of fun over there...
All Odin wanted for Christmas was a Remote Control Car...it is all he talked about for months before Christmas...he did occasionally ask for a gun too but mainly it was all about a Remote Control Car...
to say the least he got EXACTLY what he wanted...
he got 3 Remote Control Cars (one from us, Grandparents Taylor and Aunt Kelly) and he got 3 Nerf Guns (one from us, one from Cousin Paxton, and one from Grandparents Taylor)
To say the least he was one HAPPY BOY!!!

Christmas Eve 2010

We had Christmas Eve with my side of the family at the Clyde Home...it is always fun to get all the family together on Christmas Eve and eat yummy food and play games and read Christs Birth out of the Scriptures and have the kids dress up...


We always have the boys open one present on Christmas Eve and it is always new PJ's...it was a tradition I had growing up and I do it with my family too...I learned that I should have bought matching PJ's because once Odin saw that Cort had car pj's then he had to take off his Spongebob pj's and put on car ones to match Cort...now I know for next year :)

Thanksgiving/Christmas Dinner with Barnums

Of course my camera died while at our Family Dinner but I did get a few pictures...we had our Thanksgiving/Christmas Dinner with the Barnum side....Thanks Aunt Pam for letting us invade your home...

Bridger and Noah came to Play

Cousin Playing time with Noah and Bridger...they had a lot of fun playing together...
I was really nervous about watching them because I always hear how much trouble Noah gets into because he is always such a busy boy but he didn't get into anything...
he was seriously this little angle and I was going to tease Amy about how she must be lying about all the stuff he does but as soon as she walked in the door the Noah she had been telling us about came out...he started pushing buttons on the t.v. and jumping from furniture to furniture...
it was so funny because he seriously hadn't done anything wrong until she walked through the door...
I loved having Bridger and Noah come play and Odin and Cort absolutely LOVE their cousins...
Thanks Amy...

(I think they were daring each other to try and go upstairs...I gave them "the look" and they didn't try)

(Taking turns on the Skateboard)

Pictures with Santa

Here are a couple of pictures with Santa...I have some better ones but need to find the cd so these will work for now as I am trying to catch up on our family blog...

Chucks Blanket

Chuck really wanted me to crochet him a blanket and make it as close to his camo uniform as possible so I went to Michaels and matched up the 3 colors and made my own pattern and this is what he got...it is really really big...it fits on our Olympic Queen Bed and he loves it...Glad I could make him a happy man...

Temple Christmas Lights

Chuck was home for a visit from his job in Salt Lake and so I wanted to take the boys to see the Christmas lights at the Temple...we called and invited his parents and went to dinner at Denny's afterwords...the boys loved the Christmas Lights and it was good family time...

I love MY BOYS!!!

Spending Time at Grandpa and Grandma Taylors

Cort wanted to wear Uncle Bobbys hat...

Seriously give these boys the lids off Gatorade bottles and this foot massager and they were happy boys for hours....

Grandpa Taylor and Daddy put them in this container ...they loved it...

Cort also loved playing with the exercise bike...such goofy boys...

Barnum Side Cousin Time....

My Brother Brandon and Sister-in-Law Lacey sent their kids our way in November so we could have some play time with them...it was a lot of fun and Nana loved letting all the kids decorate her Christmas Tree....We love spending time with them...
