Molly loves books. Whenever we are she see one she will practically dive for it. She loves it when we read to the other kids and is always trying to get the book.

Bowling

Trey got a free bowling game from school and since Matt had a day off from work we deceided to take the kids. They have been begging us to take them. They both did great for there first time. They both needed a little help from dad but most of it was by themselves. Trey wasn't to far behind me in the score.

waiting patiently for the ball to make it to the pins. it was a little slow but it made it

she slept the whole timeE waiting . He was so funny. He would get down and roll the ball then stand up put his hands in his pocket and then wait to see how he did. once the ball got to the pins he would turn around and walk back thinking he was so cool

Molly 4 months

Molly turned 4 months the day after Christmas. A few days later we took her to the Dr where she weighed in at 11 1/2 pounds 25%. She was 25 1/2 in tall 95% and her head was in the 6%. She started eating rice cereal. She does pretty well with it. She loves to growl and goo. She is very loud! She is also a very happy baby. We love her to pieces

Christmas 2009

Christmas was great as usual. Grandpa and Grandma Steffensen came up a few days before Christmas and gave the kids there presents early and then on Christmas eve we went to Delta and had the Steffensen family party. Where we played games, opened presents and of coarse ate great food. That night the we all got to open jammies (we forgot to take a family pic)and then read the Christmas story out of the bible. Christmas morning we woke up about 7:45 and got started opening present. The boys were so excited. They loved what they got. Santa brought the boys what they wanted and more. Trey did as for a ball that Santa forgot to bring but he was ok. Grandpa and Grandma Bates came up around 11:00 and saw what they got. Then we headed to Salt Lake. They opened there presents from Grandpa and Grandma Bates and then headed for the big Marchant family party. We we had a great time eating and opening more presents.

yes i know my kid is not matching.

For Ethan's birthday we went to Burger King and let them play in the play area and then ran some errands. We were going to go to the zoo lights but it was so cold and snowy we decided to stay home. So we decided to set up a picnic in the front room and have dinner.We told him he could have whatever he wanted.He had macaroni and cheese. Then we watched a tv show about lizards and snakes. Oh how fun, but he loved it.
Sunday we had a family party with Matt family. They ended up coming up early because of the storm so his cake never got done the way we wanted. He wanted a Thomas cake so we through on some of his Thomas toys and called it good. I felt bad but he was happy.

Ethan's birthday

My little boy turned 3 on the 12th. I can't believe how grown up he his. He has changed so much and is such a boy. He loves to ask you a question and then tell you how to answer him "can i watch a movie?" "say sure you can. He has totally come out of his shell. he use to not talk to any one and now he doesn't stop talking. He loves to scream and tries his hardest to make Trey cry. sometime you even hear him say "cry Trey cry" and then laughs. He loves trains, tractors, garbage trucks and any big vehicle. He loves to climb. He is also very independant. Thinks he can do and should do everything Trey does and always wants to play with Trey and his friends. Even though he can be a BIG stinker. we love him tons and makes us laugh daily.
