Accident Prone Jack

I promise I don't beat my kids! Jack has always been a little accident prone like when he broke his leg at 16 months old. This time he was running at Granny and Pa's while carrying a toy and slipped on the hardwood floor and hit his eye square on the toy he was holding for a black eye. Not even two days later Shannon was taking him to preschool and he took his seat belt off
too soon and went flying into the dashboard for a bloody nose.

Egbert Family Christmas Party

The Egbert family Christmas party usually gets a little crazy. We have it in a big gymnastics gym so the kids can run and play.

Cort won this beautiful red shoulder vest thing for the white elephant gift. He was so excited because he needed something to match his Christmas turtle neck someone made him wear...


Tis the season for ugly sweaters! Me, Cort and Aunt Trea Trea

Jack and Cort climbing the rope to the top.

Jack is a pretty competitive little kid and saw other kids that were a lot bigger than him jumping off so he didn't even think about it and just jumped about 15 feet into the foam square pit.

And of course fearless Hank wanted to jump off but looks like Cort had to drop him.

Double G Christmas

We were able to stop and see Great Grandpa and Grandma at the Veteran's Home to bring them Christmas presents. The boys are quite entertaining to them and we love to be able to go and spend some time with them. This picture was taken before we went to the Egbert Christmas party so we all have ugly sweaters (except Grannies isn't ugly because she still wears them everyday).

Viva Las Vegas

Cort had to go to Las Vegas for work so we decided to make a vacation out of it. Chelsie took our boys and we had such a great time. We did a lot of shopping at all the Cowboy Christmases, went to the show Ka- which was awesome, and watched the National Finals Rodeo. We stayed at MGM and walked all over to see the sights. We didn't get many pictures but it was great to get away and spend the weekend together.

Ugly Sweater

Victor and Shelly just remodeled their house so they had an ugly sweater party to celebrate. We always have so much fun getting together with these guys and Trevor and Hayden. We missed Shane and Katie but having a baby was a good excuse!

Vic just got lasik surgery so he got to wear the awesome goggles to go along with his sweet sweater.

Girls day to Oz

My mom planned a girls day out to go shopping and go to the broadway play Wizard of Oz. Well my dad and Scotty ended up crashing our party and came with us somehow. The play was awesome and we had a great time with the original Egbert clan.

Eating at Bucca Di Beppo

Thanks mom for the fun girls/Dad/Scotty day! I am so thankful for my family and the fun things we get to do together.

Countdown to Christmas

The countdown in on! The boys are so excited for Christmas this year. They got their Christmas blanket out already watching Christmas movies.

The finished Gingerbread sleigh.

Jack and Hank were so excited to make Santa's sleigh and take it to our ward party.

Jack wakes up every morning to do his advent tree.

Well the chocolate advent calendar was a good idea if two little boys would have eaten all of it on the second day! Mom of the year I know...

I need this Christopher the elf to hang out at our house all year long. Whenever I wanted the boys to do something I would tell the Christopher was watching and it was like magic! We are so excited for this busy fun season and can't wait to spend it with friends and family!

Oh Christmas Tree

We love the day we finally put up the Christmas tree. It just seems like the Christmas season starts when the tree goes up. The boys love putting on the ornaments and looking at all of them.

Hank was only interested in the horsey saddle/horse ornaments and wanted to play with them all night.

Jack was so funny about where every ornament went on the tree. He had to be able to see everyone at his eye level and be able to push the electronic buttons.

Festival of Lights

We only made it to the kids parade this year for the festival because Jack wanted to ride on his preschool float. He made a dang cute poinsetta! Let the holidays begin!

Thanksgiving continued...

Our lame attempt to get all seven grandkids to smile and look at the camera at the same time.

We ended up having Thanksgiving dinner the day after thanksgiving so everyone could be there so Stacy made delicious cornish game hens. She is such a wonderful cook- everything was delicious!

Hank wanted to ride his pony all day! It was even freezing cold!

And the kids watching a movie in our bed.

Thanksgiving sledding

We had such a great time with all Cort's family over for Thanksgiving. Our favorite part was the sledding.

Jack and Kai'le

Jack loves to play in the snow- and eat it too!

My favorite picture of the day. Jack and Brodee in their matching snow suits.

Living Quarter

It is always a good day when a trailer is finished and gets picked up. Cort has been working on this living quarter horse trailer at our house for the past three months. He has worked so hard on it and it turned out amazing! The owner was really impressed with Cort's skills and really liked how it turned out. He gave Cort the chance to build the nicest living quarter he has ever done with hard wood trim and the works.
