Rocky Point, Christmas and more!

Well, it has been quite a while since our last post... so we hope you enjoy all the pics.
Here is Parker sitting in the box of cars.

Parker helping with the laundry.


Parker loves his blanket.


Katie and Tanner the night before Jared took Tanner on a deer scouting trip to look for some deer back in october.

Tanner on the scouting trip, he was pretty cold, but he had a good time and was able to see some deer.

Jared takes the dogs running down the dirt road by the cotton field by our house. At the end of the road is a ditch that the dogs play in.


Semnome loves the water.

Jared with his deer that he killed in Oct. He shot it on the last day that he could hunt at 450 yards.


Parker fell asleep on the couch.

Parker wearing one of Tanners hats, he loves hats.

Tanner helping put the Christmas tree up.


Parker found the santa hat and thought it was pretty cool.

Tanner and Parker at the temple lights.


We enjoyed going to see the temple lights and hearing the singing.


A few days before Christmas we went quading. We borrowed Jared's parents quads, and we went with Justin (Jared's brother) and his kids. We brought the dogs and Justin brought his. It was cold but we all had fun. Oh, and we think that Semnome might be pregnant after that trip as she had some fun of her own with Justin's dog.

Katie says she looks like a boy in this picture but she doesn't.

Justin and his kids, Bailee, Zac and Shaycee.

Tanner.

Tanner zipping around on Zac's quad.


Parker was cold and hungry in this one.


The kids at the table for lunch.

Parker put the gogurt box on his head.

Parker has started feeding himself. If you put it in a bowl and give him a spoon he is in heaven.

Jared reading Parker a book. Parker loves books and would do this all day if we let him.



Jared and Katie in the back of the van on the way to Rocky Point, Mexico!

Right when we pulled into town we went to the local LDS chapel and went to church. There were a lot of americans there. Jared translated for Katie. It was a cool experience, I just forgot to take a picture of the chapel. After church we went to the pent house where we were staying.




Here is the view from the pent house on the 8th floor, we woke up one morning to see dolphins right off the beach out the window.



Jared's cousins Samuel and Cory playing some pool.


Katie on one of the quads. We didn't do anything to extreme, Jared was worried that the baby was going to be harmed.

We were on the 8th floor.
The weather was great and the beach was fantastic.




At the end of the trip, right before we left, we played some crockett (sp?) and baachi (sp?). It was a good time.
The best part about the trip was it didn't cost us anything! It was great to be able to get away without the kids, thanks Jenna for helping us out!
Well, that is our life in a nutshell over the last few months. We are having another boy, Katie is due in April and we are excited. Life is great and we are just trying to soak it all in and make the most of everything.
