I don't know why I took a picture of this-I just did-their names are Eddy and Aiden (Ed's buddy)
Logan as Elvis-I'm still hoping he'll wear this for Halloween. He just needs to learn some Elvis tunes and the air guitar.
This was the one time Ed actually went on the potty, only because he was playing Star Wars Wii, I don't think he knew he was going, and was rather surprised to find all that pee in the pot when he stood up.
Our family had a great time ice skating the first Saturday in January. Camden, Logan and Eddy had never tried it before and after a tenuous start-they kind of got the hang of it! Even Eddy was starting to skate on his own at the end. 
Johanna in the midst of a twirl-she's a little more confident then the rest of her siblings (oh, and Dad).
This picture pretty much describes the state of the boys and ice skating-barely hanging on!
Here's Johanna's dolly that she wanted. She seems to be happy with it and wants to make it lots of clothes.
Katy took this picture of me skiing at Harriman park
The sky was very clear and we could see the Tetons-the little skiiers are Johanna, Logan, and my Bro in law Trevin and daugter, Lindsay.
Katy, Jake and Mia came to visit in Rexburg on Christmas eve. It was so fun to see them! Katy also joined us for skiing the day after Christmas.
We had a great Christmas break. We spent most of Christmas week at the Wyoming cabin-playing in the snow, hiking, cooking, eating, playing Wii and relaxing. I cooked more then I should have, but we ate well! I made and put together five gingerbread cabins. They turned out really cute and I think eveyone had fun decorating them-we had a ton of candy!

Better late then never! I made a Halloween dinner of Ghostly cheese sandwiches, chicken noodle soup and orange smoothies, then we carved pumpkins before going trick-or-treating. Blake did most of the work, as I was desparately searching for the hat to Ed's costume ( I found it!). They all had a great time though. We even toasted the seeds-yummy! Garlic salt was our favorite topping by the way.
Here they are-the pokemon, dinosaur, cavegirl, gypsy and ninja. The cavegirl is Johanna's friend and our neighbor-Hannah
Is this not disturbing? This is the loot the kids ended up with-a VERY LARGE bowl of candy! Blake decided it was time to quit after overhearing comments to Logan and Camden like "Wow-you've got a lot of candy there!" Ed petered out after one block, and then he ate pretty much everything he got while the others were out. So, this is only 3 kids worth of candy! SCARY!
Ahhh...family togetherness... Yes-that's Ed wearing Johanna's glasses. He's facinated with them-though they're not like Mia's-they are breakable, and he's doing his best to help Johanna into contacts
Quintisential fall-leaves, trucks and boys-don't you just want to join in?
Our VERY LAST berry pie-just picked on October 24! Ed "helped" by arranging the berries-I think he was just trying to hide the fact that he'd eaten most of them. Can't you see that guilty look on his face? 
The owl cupcakes I made for my Halloween recital-aren't they cute?
Is this really 2009? At our house you wouldn't know it-in fact, for portions of General Conference-Camden had to hold up our lovely-right out of Star Trek antenna so we could get proper reception!
The poor little kitten! Ed visited a farm with his preschool and there were a whole passel of kittens for the kids to hold. It was very cute and didn't mind Ed holding it too much.
We had a fun time picking grapes last friday. We didn't get there until almost dark, so we had to pick fast. The kids all had fun running around the vineyard in the light of the moon. We picked an 18 gallon container full, plus three buckets. I got 35 quarts of grape juice out if them and I'm going to try and make a batch of grape jelly. They smelled so good!!!! The vineyard really was lovely-you could smell the grapes as you walked around. Ahhh...nature.
