Zoo, bath time together, so cold, and troublemaker
As little Caleb can sit up straight, now he can enjoy bath time with sister Sofia. He splashes and wiggles around before, during and after being washed. They both love the water so much they never want to leave when they are all done.
A couple of weeks ago we had quite the cold spell here. There were four days in a row with below freezing temps at night, one day even tying the record for coldest night ever at 19 degrees. One morning Caleb tried to wash the ice off his windshield with water from the hose, but nothing came out. A few days later we found this large icicle right next to the water spigot.
hopefully it will be warmer from here on out till spring.
Sofia loves to play with brother. Here she though it would be fun to apply some lip balm on her lips and face. then she did the same to baby brother who sure didn't complain. This is how I found them after only a few minutes on their own.

Christmas and new Years in California

We were fortunate enough to visit Caleb's parents in California this year. We had many family outings including Sunset Beach where Sofia enjoyed playing in the waves with Daddy and digging in the sand. We also played at his parents house outside in the cars, indoors with cousins, uncles, aunts, and even great grandparents (Papa Severson's parents). It was a special sunday nursery with only her cousins there to share it. Sofia also played the Wii for the first time with cousin Larry.
Even though both kids and Caleb got sick, we still thoroughly enjoyed our time there, visiting friends & family, eating great food, seeing shows, watching and playing football, and just spending quality family time together.

Santa and Rudolf
We have explained to her about writing a letter to Santa so that she can request whatever she wants, but she says, No, no Mami, no santa presents. Its hilarious. She is also really into the Nativity scenes and has one sheep in particular that she won't let go without a fight. Christmas is her favorite time of the year.

My peruvian hat
He gained the ability to sit on his own about a week ago and can almost crawl.
He's growing so fast. Slow down little buddy!

CTR 7 Goal achievement party
My primary class, CTR 7 had a party at my house on Saturday. They had a goal to bring their scriptures to class every week, and if they had forgotten they would get them from the library. They did such a good job in achieving this goal so I made a party to celebrate their hard work.
Russell Rice, Kelly Vargas, Jacob Long, Howie Seawell and Ella Wagley converged on my house Saturday morning. The first activity was them decorating a cake that they had to spread frosting, pour the sprinkles, and place the candies. We then headed outside for drop the clothes pins in the jar. They stood on the ladder and aimed as best they could for the jar below. Kelly and Jacob were especially good at this one. Then they played squirt out the candles. It was boys against girls and the girls won every time, which was somewhat frustrating for the boys. The next game was pop the balloons. My husband Caleb had blown them all up the night before. The first few came out the normal size, but as he got winded the balloons got smaller and smaller. This made the popping of the balloons that much harder, but the kids found new ways to get the job done. Probably the funnest game was the Christmas songs Karaoke. They each took turns using the fake microphone, but all of them would sing along and try to sing the songs they had not sang before.
We had such fun.
