Dec-Jan in the life of our phones.

Ben and I just put all of our phone pics onto the computer, and I realized that there are a few random things I have left out of the blog these last two months.

 We did our annual Christmas cookie trees with Grandma Barb

Christmas vacation was nice. The kids got along well and played all sorts of pretend things together.

 Hailey loves to kiss her baby brother

 Carly thinks she's being sneaky hiding away in the closet with Dad's tablet.  Sometimes I pretend I don't know where she is just so we can have some quiet time.

 We played human Foosball at our Jenkins Christmas party

 I tried to make a blanket and burp cloths, (picture by Carly or Hailey of me cutting out fabric) realized I have no skill for such things and got all frustrated and angry.  I do this about every 2 years or so.

 We went on a field trip to the fire station.  Carly is with her cute little friend Avery.  Ever since then, Carly's been having dreams that our house is on fire.

 Hailey loved the fire truck

 Blake came over a few times and we enjoyed some monopoly, settlers, rummikub, skipbo, and other favorite games.  He kinda looks like a terrorist with his black ensemble and  hoodie.

 Ben turned the big 32 this year! 

 We quilted a baby quilt for Luke and Lisa's baby... due any day now. (again, picture by either Carly or Hailey)

 I find these two like this a lot.  Hailey puts up with Carly making her pretend to be her baby.  Only a few more weeks until the real one comes and I have a feeling that Carly is going to take the baby and run away with him.

 We got to babysit my handsome little nephew, Noah (Jess and Matt's little guy).  But really it was just Carly telling me what to do and how to do it.  She really thinks she the expert on child rearing.

 The kids all switched up their rooms to make way for the new baby.  Hailey has her own room upstairs now with a new bed.  She loves it.

 Luke also moved back upstairs so the baby could sleep in his room.  He's been dying to have some one to share with.

Abigail and Carly moved downstairs in the bunk beds and they are also very happy about it.  

Luke and Ben got to go to a Jazz clinic last week.  We drove Luke down to S.L. to meet Ben and then us girls went shopping and ate dinner at IHOP.  We didn't want to feel left out of all the fun.

Luke got his bball signed by someone pretty cool, I just can't remember who. 

 They played lightening and did drills with some Jazz players

Luke won a round of lightening and he was ecstatic. 

The two cool guys who signed his ball, still can't remember who they are.

Last but not least, Ben waited in line for 3 1/2 hours to get a signed copy of Assisted, John Stockton's book.  He was SO lucky, because they cut the line off  2 people after him.  John had to make his flight.  Ben's been the biggest Jazz fan since he was little, so this was really exciting for him.
