{Ethan's Indian costume he made in preschool}
This year we spent Thanksgiving in Declo with Jeff's family. The boys were in heaven playing with cousins all weekend, I did a little after-Thanksgiving shopping, Jeff got to watch football, and we stayed up until 3:30 Saturday morning playing cards-we are still trying to catch up on our sleep!
Saturday afternoon we came home and had another yummy Thanksgiving dinner with my family before going to see New Moon-much better than the first one, thought they could've done better on the soundtrack.
Now on to Christmas!

Check Up

Owen was 4 months old on Sunday-holy smokes! He weighs a healty 15.63 pounds and is 25.5 inches tall. He is becoming more and more vocal every day and his brothers just love telling me what Owen is saying. He hasn't quite figured out how to roll over but he's been working hard at getting it down. His favorite past times include chewing on his fingers while drooling all over, snuggling, eating, and carrying on conversations with any object that will listen.

Kamden also had a check up today and came in weighing 38.2 pounds. He recently hit a growth spirt and is 39.75 inches tall. He got 2 shots today and was a real trooper, he only cried a little over the "pokey". But when Owen had to get his shots next, Kamden became very protective of his little brother and said "Oh, my baby!"
We are very greatful to have 3 happy and healthy boys!

6 Years...

6 years ago my family and I drove to Logan, Utah where the next morning, Friday November 21st, I would become Mrs. Jeffrey Stoker. There wasn't a snowflake in sight when we pulled into town the night before the wedding but the next morning the ground was covered and it was still coming down. I'd spent part of the night in the hotel bathroom, sick to my stomach and vomiting, a severe case of nerves. But my nerves were forgotten as soon as we pulled up to the temple and I saw Jeff.

"Nice dress," was the first thing he said to me as he took my hand and we greeted the photographer. Our wedding pictures are a little deceiving because we hadn't actually been married yet-they were taken before the ceremony. I hadn't planned on the frigid Logan weather-I was in a short-sleeved gown and open-toed shoes. But, thankfully, I had the love of my husband-to-be to keep me warm. (Awww...) Plus, the fact that we were leaving in the morning on a Carribean cruise didn't hurt either, and thoughts of the tropical sun also kept the biting cold away.

The ceremony was beautiful as we were married and sealed as husband and wife for eternity. We were told to always hold hands and I don't forget to give Jeff a hard time when he goes too long without remembering to do what he was told.

So there we were, newlyweds. Did we have any idea what we were getting ourselves into? Absolutley not. Would I change the past 6 years? Not for the world.

Kamden Turns 3 & Family Pictures

Here are some pictures of Kamden's dinosaur cake in all its glory...it took me forever to make the dang thing, the frosting was getting crumbs in it, and the head kept falling off so he ended up with a sqaure face and no neck...oh well-when Kamden saw it he said "That's beautiful!" and it was all worth it! We affectionatley named him 'Gary' before we devoured him...he was the most delicious dinosaur I've ever eaten!





Today we had our family pictures taken for the first time in over 2 years! A friend of mine helped us out with them and so did my mom...it's deffinatley harder to be in front of the camera when you'd much rather be behind it! But they turned out great and I'm excited to have some pictures of all of us together!

He walks better in those heels than I do!

But he still looked awfully handsome for church today!

A Sad Day...

I know, I know. Your heart is probably breaking just like mine did when I saw all those curls on the floor. And for that I apologize...but it had to be done. You see, my little boy is all grown up. He will be THREE next week. Besides-he was CALLED A GIRL TWICE in the last four days and I vowed that if that EVER happened, it would be time to cut it. But it'll grow back!
