Maizee's first baby cereal

Maizee had her first cereal today. She did ok with it, but I think we ended up with more on her and I than we got in her.


She wasn't so sure at first but quickly decided it was wonderful stuff.

Little Miss Knitter

Dodee has learned to knit. She is doing a great job. Right now she is knitting hot pads for me. They will be a treasured gift, I'm sure.


And doesn't she look cute doing it!

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas! The kids were spoiled even more than usual! A huge thanks to everyone that made sure their day was great!

The boys got their first rifle! Thanks Uncle Reggie!

Headed out to see if Santa made it.
J.R. got a bag of coal. As you can see he was thrilled. Santa hid his presents and he had to search for them. I think he thought he was screwed there for awhile.

Dodee got a doll that you take to the potty. Like I don't have enough to do, now I get to listen and follow a dolls requests.
J.R. found his Christmas gifts.
Traeson got as much San Diego Chargers stuff and he could. Go Chargers!
Taylor got a new phone with a touch screen. Hopefully she doesn't wear it out too quickly.

It was a great holiday. We enjoyed great food, parties, and just being together.

To sleep like a baby

Little Baby Big Bean Bag!


Big Stretch and then back to sleep!

First Belly Laughs

Maizee has learned to giggle!
Maizee turned 3 months old on Sunday. She is cooing, playing, and just started belly laughing today!

She had a 3 month check up and has grown so big. She is now 11 lbs 3 oz and 23 inches long. She has moved from the 9th percentile to the 26th! Still tiny but growing.
Her favorite game is "who has a tongue" just the word tongue gets her sticking hers out and thinking she is the star of the show!

First Snow and Christmas Party

Well, we got our first real snow storm this weekend. The kids loved it! They built snowmen and rode the snowmobile for hours.

It was the Karren family Christmas party on Sunday! Santa even came! It was great to see everyone and catch up on families!


Maizee and Jace with Grandma Karren. Maizee is 13 days older than Jace, but he is obviously much bigger than our little squirt!
Maizee has learned to coo and babble really well this weekend. And boy can she turn on the charm when she wants to. She has learned that her bright smile can melt the toughest of people.
Try saying no to that!
