Yellow Yaks and Green Gators

Amelia and I. I'm usually the one taking pictures and not ever in them. The outfit Amelia is in was worn by Lily and I can't believe how different they look in it.

Sivai's team name is the "yellow yaks." He is enjoying soccer so much and is already bragging about how good he is. He scored 2 goals in his first game, one for his team, one for the other team (it bounced off his leg when an opposing team member kicked it). It's amazing how quickly he's picked up playing without any previous experience.
Austin's team is the "green gators." He had a great first game today, he scored a goal too. He also played goalie, it was pretty easy without a single shot taken towards the goal during his quarter.
We've been trying to beat the winter indoor blues by getting and staying busy. A couple of weeks ago we went bowling (no pictures) and they had a blast. Today we went swimming at the rec. center and the kids are already begging to go back.

Six months! She got a tooth a couple of days ago and is sooo close to crawling. At her last appointment she was in the 25th percentile for weight and the 90th for height.

Winter Break

Amelia, Renee, Daniel. Two weekends before Christmas my sister Heidi graduated from BYU-I. This is when Renee, Nick and I met up at Lisa's house to carpool up there. Unfortunately my hands were full at the graduation and I let Renee do all the picture taking. Congrats Heidi!!

The day before we left for Christmas in Cedar City and the wedding at Logan it snowed over 12 inches. The kids love it.

Grandpa Dotson has become quite accomplished with his woodworking. We each got a hand turned ornament for Christmas. This one features a sea shell.
Patrick and his brother Robert doing dishes Christmas evening, pretending to be Santa.
Sivai opening an army tank from G&G Dotson.
Grandma Dotson and Lily bonding. Make-up is #1 on her favorite things to do. I have to guard mine.
Irvin and Amber's wedding at Logan
Morning of the wedding. It was freezing rain/slush outside of the temple, very cold and not very fun for pictures. They were still all smiles.

The swimming pool was a big hit. Amelia and I enjoyed watching everyone splash around.
Kitchen help. Lisa and Heidi.
Anna, Keely, and Sivai also helped out keeping the food out.

The cake and Aggie ice cream was a big hit. I didn't keep track of how many plates my kids had.
