Skiing!

We took Talon skiing for his first time about a week ago. He had a great time and by the end of the day he was doing pretty good.

It was Mia's Birthday! She and I hung out in the lodge.

All suited up and ready to ski!

It was a really warm day, Nathan said the snow was basically slush.

Mia is 1!!!

Wow! Mia is 1...she is growing way to fast!!

We had a little Birthday Party at our Club House.

The kids had fun playing the Wii.

The kids played pin the nose on Minnie.

We had a Minnie Mouse theme.

Lots of family was able to come.

We let Mia eat cake by herself she didn't get into it much. She doesn't like to get dirty. This is as dirty as she would get. She put her feet into it more than she did her hands. :)

While we were singing Happy Birthday to her.

I love this girl!

She is not walking yet, she could she just wont.

She can say baby, ball, tickle, momma, dadda and whats that? (Whats that comes out sounding like oh sh#%. :)

She can sign more, milk, eat and baby.

10 Months Old!

Mia is growing So fast! I can't believe she is already 10 months old and in 2 more months she will be 1! CRAZY

Somethings she can do. Pull herself up and stand by things, wave, sign more and nod yes. :)

She is so cute and fun she brings so much sunshine to our lives.

My Little "Big" SUNBEAM!

Talon is now a Sunbeam in Primary!
He looked very handsome!

He did really well for his first day. He wanted me to sit in the back for awhile but was OK when I left.

I can't believe how fast he is growing!

We are so proud of you Talon and love you very much!

9 Months Old!

Mia has learned how to wave and sign more.

I can't believe how fast Mia is growing!

She is such a fun little girl!

She is crawling everywhere and has started pulling herself up to things. She will also walk along the couch.

Christmas!

We had a nice Christmas at our house this year. Nathan"s parents were able to come over and watch us open presents and my parents were able to Skype in as well.

Talon was excited about a gun his Grandma and Grandpa Valentine gave him.

Talon helped me make a sign and put out cookies for Santa.

Santa brought Mia a puppy dog that has tags all over it. Mia loves tags.

Talon asked Santa for a Storm Trooper costume and that is what he got. :)

Mia with her haul.

Thanksgiving

We always have a fun Thanksgiving. It is really nice to get to see both my side and Nathan's side of the family.

THOMAS SIDE

Talon and Josh. Watch out when these two get together it is always loud and rambunctious. :)

Mia and her Grandma Thomas. Nathan's mom does her Thanksgiving the Saturday after so that we can all come.

VALENTINE SIDE

My parents had Thanksgiving in their new house this year. It was so nice to be all together.

We took a family picture that I think turned out really well.
