Boyd trying to escape

Boyd has been trying to escape from his swing for a few months now. I finally took some pictures to share with everyone. He sits forward in his swing and tries to get out. Thank goodness the seat belt does work.

He finally got what he wanted

My new fridge

I got a new but used fridge. I am so excited about having a side by side. So far it is much easier for me to organize. I love it.


Old Fridge


I had to clean up my new fridge it was gross but it looks great now.

Look it is even level! Yippee!

Playing the Wii

We got a Wii for Christmas. They are definitely a lot of fun. Maggie, Jessie, and Jackson really enjoy playing it. We rented a few games for New Year's Eve, Mario Party 8 and Mario and Sonic Olympics. They were fun. We have decided that before we buy a game we are going to rent them and see what ones we like first. So far we really like the sports games the best. I took some pics of Maggie and Jessie playing baseball together it was hilarious.They are a pair.

Sledding

Maggie begged her Dad to take her sledding. He promised her he would and when you make Maggie a promise you have to keep it. So off to the sledding hill we went.Boyd was asleep so Jeremy and Maggie were the only ones to get out and sled. I really enjoyed watching from the inside of a warm car and snapping the photos. Good thing I had just enough battery to get some good photos.


Maggie was so excited that she almost jumped out of the car! She had went sledding twice already with my sister. She obviously loves to go sledding. I remember every year waiting for the first snow so I could go sledding too.

The beautiful Wenatchee Valley

This is the sledding hill. It is at my old middle school.

She made it to the bottom of the hill but couldn't pull her sled up. She just started walking without her sled so Jeremy had to go help her.

This is how Boyd watches his sister sled.

This is when Maggie decided she needed to sled in another spot.

Waiting her turn for her final run

Random Pics of Boyd

I found a few pictures of Boyd that I loved so I decided to just post them by themselves. He is growing so big. He loves to roll all over the floor, he talks constantly, and thinks his sister is the world's best comedian. We love him so much. He is such a great addition to our family and we are grateful that Heavenly Father sent him to our family.

Boyd and his best friendy Ducky

Some of my favorite pics when I was a kid are ones of me taking a bath in the sink. I think they are so cute. I have to take advantage of them because Boyd is getting way too big for the sink. This was at my parents house during Christmas time 2008.

Christmas at the Felty's

We opened presents at my parents' house Christmas night. It had been a long day but we all still enjoyed getting some new gifts. I think the kids were the most excited. Papa and Nannie bought them each a new Leapster 2 game system. It is a tradition in my family to get a new ornament and new pajamas each year. My color was always a red ornament and green pajamas. My sister and I still get an ornament each year. This year I got a cute snowman in a red bucket.


My Christmas Ornament for 2008



My sister thought that it would be a great idea to bring me back a Mill Bay Casino Ornament for my tree. This was my early Christmas present from her.


Maggie's new ornament



Jessie is waiting patiently for the present unwrapping to begin

AND THE PRESENT IS......



Jackson is a little excited



It wasn't until this year that I realized something. My dad has a picture, not intentionally, taken of him almost every year in the same position usually wearing the same thing.
