Will turned 2!

Will turned 2 on January 18th. I can't believe he is two. He is still very small, but such a cutie. He loves all sports. He loves football, basketball, tennis, fights(ufc fights), baseball, golf, and soccer. When we were at Grandma Tinas a couple of weeks ago he told her he wanted to watch football. There were no games on so Ashton had to turn on an old game that he had recorded so Will could watch. Will loves to yell and cheer and say touchdown while holding his arms up. Will also loves to sing and loves playing with Sam and Jack. He is such a fun sweet little man.

He shared his birthday party with his cousin Kelda. Kelda turned 6 on January 13th. We had the party at the Legacy Center in Lehi. We did cake and ice cream in a conference room then went swimming. All of the kids had so much fun swimming. The only crappy thing was that there were tons of people swimming there that day. When Will takes a bath at home he always tells us he is swimming, he really loves swimming.
Will couldn't blow out his candles so Kel had to help him.

ChRisTmAS!!

I am really a slacker, but here are a few pictures from Christmas. We had a great Christmas. We did our usual and had dinner on Christmas Eve. After dinner we went on a drive to look at lights and when we got home the Elves left new jammies for the kids. They also left a note for Sam and Jack reminding them to keep their room clean. Jack did not believe us that Santa was coming that night he was sure that he was coming on Christmas night, we really had to do come convincing. I don't think he was totally convinced though. Sam didn't get any sleep that night he was so excited. We woke up Christmas morning around 7. Sam had to wake Jack and Will up. On Christmas Day my parents and my brother David came up to visit us. The kids always love to have the Grandparents visit. The next day we headed down to Delta for a couple of days to visit the rest of the family. We are so blessed and grateful for great family and friends.

Beckstrom Christmas Party

This year we had the Beckstrom Christmas Party at our house. Instead of buying sibling and cousin gifts we pick a family that is in need and go shopping for them. It is so fun to go shopping together. It is a great experience for our kids to give up something for someone else.  After we went shopping we came back to our house for lunch and to wrap the gifts that we bought.
Rylee, Luke and Mal
Missy
Ryan and Jeremy
Jack, Dexter, Kade, and Sam
Will, Grandma, and Jolie
We did buy some dollar gifts and let the kids play White Elephant.
The kids played Sponge Bob bingo for money and candy. My funny dad put a napkin over his eyes because the lights were in his eyes when he was trying to take a nap.

Nielson Christmas Party

We had a good time hanging out with some of Ryans family.
