FHE game night with the Crebs & Birthday cake for Debbi.

Lindsay made a pink birthday cake for Debbie. It was so cute. She made a tiara out of tin foil. It was yummy too!


The kids had cupcakes while we were playing Catch Phrase. Rico and I are Catch Phrase freaks! We love playing games with the Crebs & Blairs.

Ward Valentine's Part

We had lots and lots of pasta and sauce sample at our ward Valentine's party. We had lots of fun decorating cookies and Eli loved eating them!

Future Missionary and Bowling

We went bowling last week for Family Home Evening. Eli was very curious at how the bowling ball spits out of the machine.


Standing with Rico, Eli curiously watches the bowling ball rolls down the lane and knock over the pinballs.


The other week, we heard Eli screaming from somewhere. When we found him, he got a hold of Rico's tie and tried to put on himself, but couldn't so we helped him. He will be a great missionary one day!

My handsome little Jakey!

Ok, so I stole this pic from my sister! Jacob is the cutest little thing! He was a premie, born at 26 weeks and a little over 2 pounds. He is growing beautifully, catching up with my Eli. He's now over 12 pounds and almost five months old. He is the miracle baby!

My camera was out of battery when I was uploading pics earlier. So, enjoy some of the pics I just added to the previous posts earlier today!

The Nutty Professor & Tooth Fairy

Yup! Erin's top tooth finally fell off. We were having dinner last night and as she was grinding her teeth while eating, it was so loose that it was hanging off by a hair. I told her to pull it off and she refused to and before you knew it as she was holding on to it, it came off. She immediately started to laugh out loud, followed by a hysterical cry. It was hilarious. I wish I could have captured it on video camera. The tooth fairy will pay a visit for sure tonight.




Mike, our neighbor got new glasses and came over to show them off to us. We put them on Eli...he's so funny!

Christmas at Ma-ma's

We open Christmas a little bit after midnight at the Horn's home. We are so thankful for the wonderful gifts we received and see the happy faces on the children when they open their presents.


Christmas morning, Eli, Erin & RJ ran to check their stockings. They were filled with reindeer bows, candies, toys and other treats. E-Ca was the first one up because she was Santa's little helper!

Erin is a great helper with opening presents.

Eli's new found love is cars!!! Ma-ma and Kong bought him a collection of 30 hot wheelers and he will sleep, eat and bathe with them!!!

Eli is trying to figure out how to drive RJ's car that he got from Christmas.

Eli got gym balls from Santa.

Christmas with the Pascuals

Uncle Charlie was brave to come down the baby slide with Eli.

We took so many pictures that Eli learned how to say cheese without us encouraging him.

Ethan, Erika & Erin's silliest faces.

Ate Emily took us to the giant slides park in San Francisco. Erin and Ethan loved it!!! Eli enjoyed playing witht he hula hoops! Here, Eli & Rico are exploring the playground.

So, we went into this toy shop after the kids went sliding. Charlie found this face mask that had the same eyes features he had. That was funny!

Christmas Eve!

Some of our favorite Christmas Eve traditions is always some sort of cookie decorating contest, word search contest & coloring contests. We have so much fun. Thanks E-Ca for always having activities for the little children to enjoy!


Cousin Vicky from Frederick, MD joined us for Christmas. We love you Vick!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Erin just loves to play in the snow! Any chance or free time she has, she's outside eating snow, swimming in snow, and snowboarding on the sled. Here, she was making snow angels and when I came over with the camera, she decides to play dead.

Eli is still trying to figure out snow and what it is. Erin dunk him in the snow and used his hands to support himself and started crying bloody murder. I guess it was super cold for him. He loves loves loves ice, but refused to put snow in his mouth. Today, Rico tracked in snow in the front entrance at the door and I noticed he was picking up after Rico and was eating them!!!

Surprise from E-Ca!

Erin has just been so lucky! She received a box in the mail from E-Ca. It was a Hannah Montana hand game. She loves it! Eli of course fights for anything Erin has or plays with!

Thanksgiving in Utah!

One of the restaurants we ate at is called Bucca di pepe (sp?). Meaghan's parents treated us out for dinner. It was the best Italian food I've had by far. They served pasta dishes family style! Eli looks soakn wet because he got into a water fountain that had a statue of a little boy.



Eli loves salad. He refused for me to feed him, so we gave him his own plate. As you could tell, Eli's got his motor skills down! The girls were gigglinb because Eli had a piece of salad stuck on his nose!



Erin had such a fun time with Meaghan's little sister McKenna. The are about 2 years a part. McKenna loved playing with Eli & Erin.





Daddy with Mike's brother, Eric. They went golfing that day!

This Thanksgiving, we spent the week with some of our friends in Utah. The break was just too short to to go to California. Some of the things we did were shopping at the Park City Outlet, ate at Rodizio Brazilian Grill, watched Twilight (which I screamed like a little girl when Edward made his appearance), ate at a Pho restaurant, and attended a live temple session at the Salt Lake Temple. We are fortunate to have friends whom we can share this wonderful holiday with. Evelyn, Mike & Meaghan's little girl also got blessed that Sunday. She was so cute in her little dress; her dad gave her a great blessing. To top it off....on the way back home...in Rigby which is about ten minutes away from Rexburg, we got pulled over for not switching lanes while there was an emergency vehicle (police car) pulled at the side of the road. We got a ticket! What an anniversay gift (It was our 8 year anniversary). It was crazy, I thought that he would give us a warning and let us go, but I guess the cop just had nothing else better to do! Two days after that...I got pulled over for not turning my headlights on. Luckily, the cop had to tend to another call that was more important! We had such a great time with Mike and Meaghan that we weren't quiet ready to come back home yet! Now, that we're back into our routine, we can't wait for Christmas break! Just two more weeks and Rico is finished with this semester. Boy, does time fly!
