Milestones...

We recorded our first attempt at cereal last week. Aunt Amy tried it first, but we didn't get it on video.

He has as learned how to roll over this morning, and fake cough. So funny! (I can't get the pics to post in order...sorry!)





This pic is of him fast asleep while the other kids are really getting into the Christmas gifts they received. Cute boy!

Christmas

We have had such a great Christmas! We had Kaylee, Ashlan, and Branson for the holiday, which was so fun. Darrell worked Christmas eve, but we have had him exclusively ever since. He even got today (Sunday) off! What a treat! Here are our stockings from Santa. Ezra got a rubber ducky, and the other kids got lots of candy! Darrell and I stuffed eachothers stockings. I got some chocolate, DOVE shampoo, and other various goodies. Darrell got Andes mints, hand warmers, a brush, and a chocolate orange.


Kaylee got High School Musical 3 Sing Star for he PS2.

Ashlan got High School Musical 3 Dance Dance Revolution for the PS2.

Branson got a gift card to Build-a-Bear.

Ezra got wrist rattles, a book, and some clothes.

Darrell got us a gift certificate to the Anniversary Inn, and framed several neat photos for me.

I got Darrell a movie and a new watch.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Barnes for a bit, later that day. Uncle Matt pulled the kids around the church parking lot behind his truck. What fun!

December so far...

Ezra...

Ezra goes to my sisters while I work, and they have many adventures. Here he is in one of his Cristmas outfits that my friend Stephanie gave him.


He also had his very first snow experience while he was there. I have had his warm fuzzy suit by the door for a week, waiting for snow, trying to get this very shot. Wouldn't you know it finally snows enough, and he isn't home for it...


Last night we went to the annual Barnes Christmas Party. Here is Ezra talking away to his grandma and great-grandma. Pretty sweet little boy!

Cute Video

We have several clips of Ezra talking and smiling, but this one is short and sweet. Enjoy!

Crazy Life!

I hate really long blogs. In an effort to spare you the burden of reading about us for the next 30 minutes, here is a bulleted list of our crazy life for the last few weeks:
*Early Thanksgiving with my Dad
*Back to work, traveling approximately an hour to and from babysitter to work, etc...
*Thanksgiving with the Ward Family in Utah
*Attended Camille's wedding in the SLC temple
*Attended Temple Square to see the Christmas lights
*Back to work again. Drive, drive, drive......
*Decided to move to my sister's apartment complex to avoid all of the commuting and crying (both me and the baby!)
*Kids here for the weekend
*Threw a baby shower for my sister (with much help from Mom and Amy)
*Christmas shopping
*Tree shopping and decorating
*Church
*Back to work again.
Here are some fun/ random pictures. Ezra is sure getting cute and BIG! He is talking like crazy, wants to sit up like a big kid, fights sleep, eats like a horse, sleeps through much of the night (not all of it though), and just makes life worth living!We are all pretty much in love with him.
