Ice Fishing...

The spoils of the day, mostly thanks to the Hansen family!



Jace was the only one in our group lucky enough to catch a fish!
Go Jace!!

Fishing at Chesterfield Reservoir.


Friday Grandpa Rice and Matt took Marin and Jace fishing with some friends from Logan. They came home sunburned, tired and so happy!! They had a lot of fun!!

Random Sampler...

It's one of those cold icky days, so I thought I'd look through the camera & this is what was found


Girls gone Wild!



We love seeing these smiles...


Macey refused to take a nap, she was so tired that after 5 seconds in her daddy's arms after he got home from work, she was out!



While Grandma Montano was here visiting she got Macey a saucer that this little miss has just absolutly loved!


Queen Macey! The kids LOVE putting things on her head!



Fun times in the Montano household...


Mazes. Marin is into making mazes ALL over the house, gotta love the creativity, right?


Look at these cool masks they made...

Bug Tag...

10 Things that Bug me (at the moment!)...

1- People not doing what they say, is there anything more frustrating?

2- Negativity/despair about our country's current economic/political situtaion... we will survive, just get your houses in order!

3- Siblings who think it's fun to act/talk like babies ALL THE TIME...

4- Trying to find the right house in the right place with the right price!

5- People texting while out to dinner with friends or a spouse... please!

6- Just how electronic kids are today... phones, ipods, computers, games, everything...

7- Bad hair days, which seem to turn into weeks and then months!

8- Not recording the end of The Office after the Super Bowl.... BUG!

9- Winter... I'm ready for sun, fun and that means summer!

10- People who speak rudely to and about their kids... (I can't even say enough of about this, espeically the episode I just saw at the store, so don't get me started!)

Okay, so I tag Rachel, Coral and if Andrew ever looks at this blog... I tag you too!

Last Visits...



Well, before my sister and her two kids head back home to Virginia and my grandparents head back to Wisconsin after being here for the holidays, my mom and them came up to Blackfoot for one last visit. It was so fun to be with them all. We had a great time. Ate delicious monkey bread and homemade icecream. Had a fabulous kid free dinner at Texas Roadhouse (thanks Mateo!) and got to take poor little Ada to the doctors office. We hope you're doing better Ada and Mel we loved having you and Callie here!! I just hate that this is the ONLY picture I took for the 3 days you were here. Anyway, we love our family and love it when they come and visit!

The things we do...

Marin is her father's daughter... I asked her to help
me the other day by feeding Macey... but I hear her playing
with Jace in the other room a few minutes later and wonder
how she could have fed Mace so fast... Now I see... Remember the
bottle holder people from back in the day of Mateo trying to
study while also being a stay at home dad(in the evenings)
at the same time? Instead of a hanger, she used what
was avaliable to her, but still, same concept!

Bed heads!! My girls in the morning...

Sometimes this is just how we feel...


But this is mostly how we look!

Merry Christmas, Baby!

We had a wonderful holiday season. Christmas Eve with the Montano's and Christmas Day with the Rice's. We spent New Years up in Idaho and just love this time of year. It's a little hectic with all the traveling, but we wouldn't trade it. We love being able to see everyone and can't wait till next year!

Ringing in the New Year...


Welcome 2009! We hope you are as good as 2008!



Aunt Leisel... when will she ever digitalize?!?


Playing games at the Christmas Eve party...


Dakota, a true multi-tasker... holding Macey while texting!

Christmas Eve at Grandma Sans...


Game playing at the Rice's, it's a must!




Uncle Chris serenading us all with Marin's new guitar.









Some of my best friends from high school got
together for a baby shower for Coral! I love
getting together with you guys! It's a great
annual tradition I really look forward to!
