Bow Ties

My sister made these cute bow ties for all my boys. Van only would wear it for the picture and I couldn't even get Max to try his on, but I thought they looked so cute in them!

Guitar Lessons

Since Max and Hanna both got guitars for Christmas and Grandma Susan knows how to teach guitar lessons and we have friends that were interested in lessons as well, might as well be taking advantage of this great opportunity! Thanks Mom!

Clark 10 Months Old

 Clark got his first hair cut.

 Clark loves bath time!

 Look at that handful of popcorn! Clark thinks he's as big as his siblings.

Last week my friends were talking about letting their babies cry it out. I told them that I hate doing that, so Clark is still nursing all night long about every two hours and sleeps right next to me always. Well the next night I fell asleep with him and woke up 30 minutes later after I was away from him for less than 10 mins. he woke up so I decided to put him in the crib. Clark screamed for 10 mins. I went into the room and laid him back down, told him nigh-nite and left the room leaving the door cracked open. A couple minutes later Clark came crawling out of his room! He had thrown himself out of his crib! So I gave up that night. We started it last night and of course it was no fun for any of us. Hopefully he gets this sleeping thing soon because I'm not sure how much longer I can do this.

Jenny Crochets

My friend Amber has been teaching me and my friend Lynsey to crochet. We have been getting together on Fridays and having crochet play days. Here are a few of my very first crochet projects...

 Made a fingerless glove then changed it to leg warmers for Daisy.

 Fingerless gloves for Hanna and Ruby.

 Little gray leg warmers for baby Ella.

New Years 2013

Christmas 2012

Christmas Morning

 Max was really happy to get his electric guitar. I kept telling him he's getting an acoustic.

Clark knew this was his and he was so cute with it.

Even though the lighting is horrible I had to post this photo.

Hanna got an ipod touch.

Van got a ds lite.

Daisy wanted everything, which was very tempting not to buy everything for her. 

She was happy with what she got.

Cute Clark.

Walt got a portable ping pong set.

Hanna and Max exchanged gifts this year.

Hanna asked for a guitar so Max tricked her with a small wrapped present. The picture says it all.

 

That's more like it.

It was a Merry Christmas for all of us!

Christmas Eve 2012

Raquel and Andrew did a little talent show for Grandma Dee.

We had our traditional Nativity Play with the Jensen cousins and our fabulous Middle Eastern dinner.

A wonderful Christmas Eve as always.

Walt was a good shepherd even sitting so still.

All ready for Christmas.
