Thanksgiving and Christmas picts

The kids had so much fun Christmas Eve. After we acted out the nativity (uncle Pio has the picts for that) Grandpa Oyler played with the 3 youngest kids tickling them and wrestling with them in hopes to wear them out so that they would be able to fall asleep and Santa could come. He did a great job! It worked!


Christmas morning was exciting as ever!
Kelsey in her new robe and beaded watch that I (mom) had a great time making for her. She loved it!
Lisanne and Mckay had a great time playing right away with Mckays new dinosaur mountain
Christmas morning : Kelsey and Dallin so excited about their new i-dogs (speakers for their mp3 player and i-pod shuffle)

After a very late Christmas and very yummy Christmas breakfast that dad made we got dressed and continued playing with our new toys and the cousins came over for more fun.
Here is Lisanne and Mckay listening to Lisannes new mp3 player.

Fun with cousins Chase and Bryson'
Brynlee looked so dang cute in her new Christmas outfit from Nana. Aunt Jen couldn't resist doing her hair. (it's one of my favorite things to do). Brynlee looked like a princess!Here are some pictures of baby Stella for Grandma Florine to see. Kelsey was diligent in getting pictures of her whole body at Grandma's request. Enjoy Grandma!Dad hanging out on the computer Christmas day

We had our cousins over a couple of days before Christmas and made gingerbread houses together! Such fun!


Jason spent a couple of Saturday's with the boys making this bunny hutch. They had a blast spending time building it together. We still need to paint it and then find the perfect buy for our new home. The kids are so excited!

Nana worked really hard and made us the yummiest ever Thanksgiving dinner!! Here we are stuffing our mouths:)

We had a great time having Thanksgiving in Co with Grandma and Grandpa Oyler. We especiall enjoyed holding our new cousin and neice Stella. She is so adorable!

The kids also all LOVE Grandma and Grandpa's dogs!!! They all played with them l and took turns having the dogs sleep in their beds with them

The Before Picture
Here's Kelsey with Janessa the assistant that helped the orthodontist.
The after picture! She looks so cute and maybe like she's in a little pain. Just wait until tomorrow and the next day. We'll have to get some tylenol in her tomorrow so that she can have a Happy Birthday.
Kelsey with Dr Peck. He is a super nice orthodontist. I'm amazed at all the things he does to run his business so well. ( He has Peck bucks the kids can earn, Kelsey got a DP t-shirt, and a balloon and candy bar for her birthday, and many other things. Smart guy.) He knows what he's doing and super personable.

Fun Photo's of the Kiddo's

My sister Gwen and her family came into town for spring break. We had a blast together. My sister has a nice camera and is learning some photography skills. She was soooo sweet to get some nice photos of the kids while she was here. Here are a few of them. I will post some more picts of the fun things we did later. I want to get some of these printed off and framed. I think she did a pretty good job! The ones of the boys turned out the best because that morning was overcast and the lighting was perfect. I have some cute kids!

The Happenings of the Oylers

Recently we went to Dallins Blue and Gold Banquet for the scouts. This is a HUGE deal in our ward. Dallin earned his "Wolf" and was awarded with his patch and a pin for his mom at this event. The boy's had to get their award by getting it out with their teeth in a pie tin full of whip cream. Very fun. We are so proud of Dallin for working hard in Scouts!




Kelsey just had her 5th grade program about a week and 1/2 ago. She was in a dance with a group of girls to the song "Surfin USA". It was darling! Before the program Kelsey and her friend Charlee were passing out programs. I got a couple picts of them showing off their nails that they painted together that day to go with the USA theme. They and some other friends all painted their nails red, white, and blue. So fun!



Jason and I signed up for some ballroom dance classes with a few of our friends. We love it! It is so fun. Here is a pict of us last night right before we left to go dancing.
