I can't Help it!!! I think he is so cute!!!

We Love Kingston!!! We think he is so cute!!!

Wade Just loves his little brother. This is a video of Wade singing to Kingston. He starts out with "I love to see the Temple" and then he switches to "Twinkle Twinkle little star." Just in case you couldn't understand him. They are so cute together.

Happy Birthday Kingston!!!

Happy Birthday Kingston. Today Kington is a week old. He
is doing so well. He is eating good and he sleeps about 3 hours
at a time. We love him so much.

Wade is being such a good big brother. He always wants to
hold baby Kingston. He wants to help with everything. It
is so cute. When Kingston crys wade takes him his binky
he leans over and wispers, "It's ok, it's ok." In his ear. It is
so fun to have two boys.



I don't know how many people know this, but Mike delivered
Kingston. It was so cool. He scrubed in and put on these big rubber
gloves. He had to stand their with his hands in the air not touching
anything. I wasn't sure how he would handle it, but he did it like a
pro. It was so cool. The doc stood right by him and told him what to
do and Mike did it all. I was so proud of him. It was pretty awesome.

We are trying to see if Wade and Kingston look a like. The picture on left is Wade when we brought him home from the hospital and the one on the right is Kingston.

5 mins after birth. Go D!!! I love you......Mike

Kingston is here! He is soooooo cute. He weighed 7 lbs 4 ozs and was 19 inches long. He is eating good and we can't wait to bring him home. We were watching a movie sunday night at 1130 when Dianna's water broke. We took Wade over to Tiff's house (thanks Tiff) and then we ran to the hospital. Sure enough!!!!! D was in labor.. She got a ?epidural? at 2am and then we slept until about 4:30. Then it happened so fast. The doc got there at about 4:40 and he helped me deliver the baby. Kingston came into this world at 4:52. We are so thankful that everything turned out great. Thanks to everyone for your love and support. I promise I will put some better pics on soon.......... Mike

Mike and Wade tubing!!!

Wade Sledding

GO WADE GO!!!

CUTE GUYS!!!

MOM and her BOY.

GO FASTER DAD!!!

What a STUD!!!

WOW! We had such a fun day. We took Wade skiing for the first time at a sledding hill. He only did it for a few min and then he wanted to sled like the other kids were doing. It was so fun. It was really warm today. We ened up taking off some of our layers. I love watching Mike and Wade play together. Wade is really lucky to have such a fun dad like Mike.

WHAT?!!! A Mini Van?

So it happened. I swore that it never would but it has. We went out and bought a mini van. I can't believe it. It is a Toyota Sienna All wheel drive van. I have to stress the all wheel drive part. This is the only reason that I could justify buying this van in Utah. I love this car so much. Vans really are the most family friendly vehicle on the planet. I push a button and the doors open. Wade can climb in and out on his own, and he loves the DVD player that he watches while we drive.

Last day of school YEA!!!!!

This is a little late, but this Dec Mike graduated from college with a bachlers degree in Buisness Management. I had him call when he was getting out of his last class so I could capture the wonderfull event on camera. Mike is such a hard worker. I can't tell you how proud I am of him for getting his degree. I get emotional just thinking about how much time and effort he put in to his school work. Mike is the type of person who if he puts his mind to it he can acomplish any thing. I am so proud to be married to a college grad. Go Mike!!!

oh! but hi!!!!!!

we found this old pic of wade and we had to throw this on our blog. We are going to start blogging more. We have been slacking....

the teardrop

The trailer is almost done. Just the doors are left to put on. What an experience. We had no idea how big of a project we were getting into.

Family Night at the Ogden's

We had an awesome time keeping our tradition of building ginger bread houses alive. The Houstons and the joneses were able to come and build some sweet houses with us. It was a fun family night!

The Christmas tree hunt.

We had so much fun looking for our Christmas Tree this year. We drove the Jeep in to the mountains and found a good spot to look. Mike started to hike and Wade and I took up the rear. All of the sudden i heard Mike yell "I found it!" It was like the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation movie where Clark Griswold sees the perfect tree. A bright light appears and he hears angels singing. As I came around the corner Mike was standing legs apart and holding the saw in the air. He was singing, "AAH!" It was really funny. He found a great tree though. Wade was excited to watch his dad cut down the tree, and to play in the snow. Christmas time is so much fun.

Our beautiful tree after we got it home and decorated.

Good-bye Willow tree!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no longer a huge willow tree in mom and dads back yard. We kind of got more than we bargained for. There were soooooooooo many branches on this tree. We spent more time cleaning up than we did cutting the tree down.....

Fall Fun

It really seems like fall. Today Wade and Mike had so much fun in the leaves. First Wade helped Mike rake the leaves in to a big pile, and then he jumped in them. I have never seen Wade laugh so hard. He was throwing the leaves up in the air, and then he would stand up and jump in to the leaves. It was so fun to watch Mike and Wade together. Wade loves Mike so much. He watches him and tries to do everything Mike does. It is so cute. Mike is such great dad. I know that Wade will remember him as he grows up for all the fun things they do together. Mike has a way of always making what ever your doing fun.

The football game

Mike, Dianna, and Wade had fun at the SUU football game. We went to the tail gate party before the game and Mike, and Wade had so much fun on the giant blow up slide. Wade felt so big. He would climb up the slide and watch the big kids flip and tumble down it. He thought it was so cool. He would try to do flips too, but most the time he would just end up sliding down on his face. He would just laugh and say "AGAIN?"

Potty training

The potty training has started in our home. We aren't to serious about it yet. We aren't really pushing it, but Wade asks to sit on the potty all the time. When he asks we let him. He actually told Dianna he had to poop the other day. She put him on the pot and he actually pooped. Who knew we would be so excited about poop. He was really proud of him self and we were proud of him too. Dianna learned a valuable lesson that day. DON'T LEAVE YOUR SON ALONE ON THE TOILET! Dianna left Wade alone for a moment on the toilet to answer the door. She returned to find the brand new roll of toilet paper all over the floor. OH NO!! It was hard to be mad because it was so funny. Ha Ha Ha!

The Business Competition

Last week Mike entered a business competition just for fun. There were over sixty entrants for the best business idea plan. Yesterday we found out that Mike placed third and that we were invited to a awards dinner. It was tons of fun and a good experience............I am so proud of Mike and all of his hard work. He is doing so well in school and he is almost done. I am so proud of him for entering this contest. He really impressed me with his business, and people skills. He had to stand in front of a board of judges and present his business idea. That would be so nerve racking for me, but Mike did so well. He presents him self very well in front of people. I know he will be a great business man.

A big thanks to the Fam!

Dear Family,
We just wanted to thank those of you that fasted for us. This is a stressful time for us. We are wondering where we are going to end up. We know through your faith and ours that everything will work out. Now is the time to think of Ryan in the Phillipines. We all hope that he gets well soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with him. We love you Ryan...................
