So it's been a while...

UPDATE!
Malachi is now just over 10 months!!!  He is at such a FUN FUN age! We love it so much.

Since our last post...
- Chris and I have both been going to school.
- I love chris and the Jazz even though they lose...
- Chris is working part-time and I work part-time in the winter up at Sundance still
- We were living with Nick and Dani but they recently (this week) moved out so we now have a place to ourselves for the first time in a long time!!!  We are so excited!  We will SO miss those guys though :(  and Mali and Z are the best of buds!!!  It was nice of them to let us stay with them for a bit.
- between work school and parenting that's about as exciting as we get so the rest will be about Malachi  :)

Warning picture overload! most of them are on facebook too so if you stalk that you've probably seen most of these...

-He and Z are the greatest of little buds! they get into all sorts of mischief together :)

Z in our laundry.. don't worry Malachi wasn't far behind

And of course no mischief would be complete without toilet fun..

- We took a super fun trip to Nebraska over thanksgiving! some pictures from the Zoo..

 Cass and Kai on a gorilla and chasing the peacock

 and of course he has to milk a cow?

- When he was 6 mo. he fell off the counter and fractured his skull these are all after pictures when we got home from the hospital, we felt bad for him so we gave him some love and a cookie. (He is alright, no other problems just the fractured skull, and it is all healed)

 reading him humpty-dumpty, it seemed fitting

 roasting marshmallows

Just bein silly with his new helmet :)

- A while ago.. but a fun hike

- In July we went on a super fun backpacking trip to the Windrivers

- For Halloween this year we were Mario, Luigi and Princess Daisy and had a fun little shindig with some awesome friends

-He just had his first Christmas. Way fun...  Christmas eve we got to spend with Maunya and Grandpa Ward and family! It was so much fun to eat delicious breads and cheeses! Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures from that night so I'll have to steal some from Karl :)  He loves playing with all of his cousins though!

We were successful in getting him a present that he was more interested in the gift than the box itself!!! an exercise ball with sand in it so it doesn't roll away every time he touches it!  HE LOVES IT!

This is our awesome tree that Douglas was SO awesome to give to us!!! it was perfect!!

Only decorated from half and up because the boys kept pulling of the candy canes, snapping them in half and sucking on them!

Christmas morning!

 The boys eatin breakfast together

 He loves his present!

 HAHA.. Ball = 1    Malachi = 0

 His castle from grandma and grandpa

 playin by the tree

 He is a real man now! He's got tools!

 Grandma and Mali havin a good time

 I got lost in his beard!!! isn't it great?!...

 The started nice and calm at the top of the driveway with their new remote control cars....

 ... and ended up like this in the middle of the street!

 He likes the girls' new dollhouse :)

 He gets so excited to brush his teeth

 Helpin us clean... he is pretty smart and would rub this on the floor just like i was doing earlier

 A fun little video of the little guy dribbling a soccer ball  :)

Then on Christmas we went over to Grandma Kelley and Grandpa Jerry's for brunch and some fun. (pictures above)

- He is getting so big and barely ever crawls
- has the funniest personality and teases all the time
- loves to cuddle
- he likes the Jazz too
- such a good little helper already!

There is our life in one post.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
