Getting ready for spring

Every spring we have a garden. This week the kids helped Dad get it ready.

Tara thought it needed flowers.

Bobby helping Dad plant the corn.

Aunt Noni

In the past two weeks I have become an Aunt again, twice.

Cameron Bradford born 2/27. He's Andrea's little guy. I'm told he's actually quite blond.

Christopher *coughJasoncough* Kohntopp born 2/13. Lara's little one. Looks just like his big bro.

And pics of my other nephews and niece that I promised their mothers I would post so they could steal them. Alex "Booger" Bradford. He said cheese for me, but he wasn't happy about it.

Davis "Moose" Kohntopp wearing Tara's clothes. He looked so pretty.

And Miss Allie. She's quite the princess.

More randomness

Mattingly is growing so fast, except not. She's so tiny. She is feisty though. She bosses everyone around. She has several teeth now and is getting more.

Bobby is doing well in school. He is learning new things every day. In his music class they are starting to read music.

Tara is in the 75th percentile in height. I don't know where she gets that from. We took Tara to get her shots the other day. We took her to a new doctor. When they looked at her records they informed us that the previous clinic had been giving her THE WRONG SHOTS. She had too many of several and not enough of others. They didn't even give her the chicken pox vaccine. So poor baby had to get 5 shots and she's still behind because of it. >:-[

I am so behind...

I am so far behind on this blog! So I'll give you all a rundown of what's been going on.

Tara is still a princess.
Nathan has finished his shop.

Mattingly is walking.

I cut my hair off.

And Bobby lost another tooth .

Christmas

I've tried uploading this pictures about 7,000 times, and now it's finally working. This was our family's Christmas. It was a pretty good one.

Bobby and his Star Wars Legos that Uncle Bob gave him.

Mattingly's 1st Birthday

Today was Mattingly's 1st birthday. We had a party tonight with the family. She got a doll, stuffed lamb and some clothes. She had cake and ice cream and even ate some.

Thith tree ith the thymbol of the thpirit of the Grithwold family Chrithmuth

Its not going in our yard, Russ. It's going in our living room.

So this year Nathan decided that we would trek into the great outdoors and cut down our own Christmas tree. In years past we have had a fake tree. So we headed up to the Panaca/Pioche area.

Dad? Did you bring a saw?

Looks great! A little full.....a lot of sap.
