We went to the Arabian horse show. Carisa was in heaven, there were 2500 horses there for her to look at.



Here's Carisa and James in front of a bronze horse.




James got to pet a horse. He wanted to sit on it till it was his turn, then he got scared.



James and dad reading Thomas the train.



James sleeping.



James was sitting in my chair saying "I'm daddy," and put his feet up on the table.



James was singing follow the prophet over and over, but this is all we could get once we grabbed the camera.



James just started saying "fire cracker." He is crazy.

James got an In-N-Out hat which he thinks is really cool.




This is how I found James after he woke up from a nap the other day.


James had one of his buddies over today, and they had a great time playing. I was in the kitchen and heard giggling and a bag of something shaking. I went to investigate, finding them in the closet with the door closed. I opened the door and found them stuffing their faces with M&M's they had stolen from the cupboard. James looked up at me with a chocolate covered smile and said, "Mmmm...these are good!" I think they ate half the bag.

James loves Bob the Builder, if you couldn't tell.

Singing while wearing mommy's hat and eating a snack.



Chris and I were able to go to the AMA Supercross, it was tons of fun. We saw Jeremy McGrath and Chad Reed, but both left just before we were able to take pictures.

We saw this truck on our way to the races and just had to stop and take a picture.

Visitors

My sister and her family came to visit us over Christmas and we had a great time! We loved having them here and miss them already.

We took them hiking,


the kids loved playing in the bed of the truck.


We went to some parks and let the munchkins run around like crazy.


Went to a train park


Rode a train


Played in a stagecoach


James is really into trains now, so he thought this was the coolest place.


We even did some swimming, although the pool was a bit on the chilly side.


We mostly swam in the hot tub.


Cousin Addie borrowed some of James' camo pants.


Getting ready for church, so cute.





Christmas was great! James loved opening presents. He wanted to play with them more than open them.


James loves being dragged around in his sleeping bag he got.

James wearing his Christmas glasses.



We hiked up to the "mountains" as the natives call them. Anything I can throw a rock over I would not consider a mountain, but it still had a good view.


James playing with his great aunt Sally.



James loved "Papa Charlie" as he called him.



James is ready to hit the trails.



James' pack horse.



Enjoying Christmas cookies.



This boy is ready for Christmas! He loves the tree and the presents under it.



We made some pipe cleaner glasses, he thought they were so fun!



Still wearing them, doesn't want to take them off.
