Poppy's Puppies

Poppy had her first batch of puppies on Thursday.  She was having a hard time having them so we took her to the vet to finish up.  She had 8 puppies-but one was still born.  She ended up with 7 very healthy, beautiful puppies.  We have 2 while females, 2 black females, 1 white male, 1 black male and one salt and pepper male.  They are so fun already.  Poppy is an awesome mom too!  I you want one or know anyone who does, they will be ready to go the end of March!

Poor Poppy. I think it's bad with one.

Tummy Time

Poor baby Sophie hates her tummy time.  She usually struggles there for a while before she remembers she can roll over.  I love these pictures because she looks like she can't figure out why I would do this to her.  I love this baby girl!

Sophie the Thumb Sucker

Miss Sophie has started sucking her thumb.  She still takes a binky but she can also put herself to sleep with her thumb.  I thought it was so cute, I took like 100 pictures.  Sophie is so sweet I just can't help myself!

New Years Eve

We had a really fun New Years eve at the Barkers.  Grandma and Grandpa watched all the kids while the rest of us went to a really funny play at Desert Star Theatre.  It was so fun to go on a date night.  The boys made snowmen out of doughnuts, played games and had pizza.  They banged pots and pans to ring in the new year and went to bed. 

 The rest of us played games and ate junk food till we were sick.  Then we had a giant sleep over and slept in till 10 the next morning.  Perfect in every way!

A Week At Grandma and Grandpa's House

Because school was out for the week we went to Kaysville to hang out for a week.  It was a blast playing with cousins, staying up too late and eating junk food.

Grandma Jan and Grandpa John gave the boys cameras.  They love them.  They are constantly taking pictures of each other, me and the floor.  Sophie got her snuggle blanket. 

 We also went to Temple Square to see the lights

Thanks Gma and Gpa for a great week!

Christmas Day

Christmas day was awesome.  The boys were up so late the night before, they didn't get up until after 7am.  I was up at 6 just waiting for them to come it.  We had a blast opening presents and eating sticky buns for breakfast!!

 Jacob got an Optimus Prime costume from Santa.  He also got a Transformer shirt, a book and a Transformer movie.

 Caleb got a Bumblebee costume from Santa.  He also got a book, Transformer shirt and a Shawn the Sheep movie.

 The boys with their books.

 Sophie with her My Little Pony movie.  She also got a few toys and some clothes.

Jacob and Caleb got Leapsters and a game from Mom and Dad. 

My Transformers Boys!

I didn't take any other pictures because the batteries in my camera died and I didn't want to go buy new ones. Sophie got a baby doll from Mom and Dad.  Clay got an electric grease gun and I got new stuff for the kitchen.  It was an awesome day!

Christmas Eve

We had an awesome Christmas Eve.  We decided to spend it by ourselves at home.  We made sugar cookies for Santa in all sorts of Christmas shapes.  The kids loved it...well mostly eating the frosting.

We had a good night...even though the kids were so excited they couldn't stand it.  We were singing Christmas songs when Caleb said "Can we just be done.  Santa doesn't want to hear us sing."
