A little down, but happy for what I have
I feel like I'm a little in the rut right now. We just started school this we, and I am babysitting for my neighbor a few days a week. I want to find a better time to go running. Running usually helps be feel more myself. Being active and feeling like I am accomplishing something and not gaining weight helps. I really enjoyed volunteering in the kid's classes yesterday. I like to see their world and how they interact with their peers and their teacher. I'm so lucky that I am able to stay with my children and raise them how I would like them to be raised. Dan is the best husband to me, and I hope I can continue to live up to his expectations of a wife.

Trip to the Grocery Store
Luke trying to figure out what was going on. He has had very little stroller rides with how cold it has been. It wasn't too bad outside, so we all went for a walk down to the grocery store just a couple of blocks away. This was the quietest he has been all day while he was awake. But he wanted to know what was going on. He did not go to sleep until we were almost home.

Back to School
It's nice to have school back in session! This is Landon's first day riding the bus! He goes to a second preschool to help with his speech. They meet once a week for two hours. Landon likes that they meet at the same school that Lydia attends (there are five elementary schools in our district). Lydia was very excited to start school back too.
Luke after his 6 month shots. He is growing fast and is a joy to have in our family.
Cowboy and Cowgirl
Landon enjoys playing cowboy and loves his new guitar from his 5th birthday and his gun and holster set from Christmas, thanks Kyle!
Forget the carrot on the snowman's nose, I need a snack!
Lydia in the snow
Great Grandpa Baker, Luke, Landon, Lydia, Levi, Dan We visited him while in Spokane after Wendy and Tim's wedding. It was nice to see him and Grandma Helen again. Of course the kids love to see their dog too. Luke sat on Great Grandpa Baker's lap for a long time too, almost the whole visit. Then Aunt Holly was very happy to take him!
Wendy and Tim Ford's wedding
Dan, Tim, Levi, Landon, Lydia, Wendy, Patti, Luke We attended my sister's wedding on December 26, 2009 in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. It was a nice little ceremony, and the kids did surprisingly well. Congratulations Wendy and Tim!
Cookies for Santa
One of the kids favorite Christmas traditions, making cookies for Santa! Landon's was the cookie with the most candy on it. Levi just likes a little bit of frosting, and Lydia decorated the face on the gingerbread man.
Christmas Eve Gifts
It's a tradition to open our exchange gifts from the cousin's on Christmas Eve. Luke had more fun with the tissue paper than the gift! Good job Katrina!
Lydia received a gift from her 2nd cousin, Aiden
Levi was excited to have two wrapped gifts, thanks Uncle Jeff
Landon was more than ready to open his gift from his cousin Kyle.
Wow! I can sit!
Luke at 6 months right before Christmas. This is the first time I have got him to sit up!
Christmas cookies
Levi really liked the sprinkles!
Landon did an excellent job, he wanted to make sure his gingerbread man had buttons.
Lydia did a woderful job decorating!
