Cute little Ellie in her Christmas Jammies

Brody and the Birdie puppets... He was so afraid of them Christmas morning he couldn't keep his eyes off them.

Ellie and Grandma Chaffin... Ellie's blessing dress.

Brody and the graduate...

Just getting his diploma... finally.

Fun moments from the last few months...

Just a sampling of some "kodak moments" that happened between Ellie's birth to after Christas:

Brody's halloween costume that he insisted on wearing all week before and after halloween.
Jared and Brody "doing homework" together (classic)....

Brody was so quietly playing in the pantry so we checked on him and.... powdered sugar everywhere!

So stylin!... We were bored at home during the priesthood session, and we found some fun accessories...

Still alive and well at Grandma and Grandpa Wells'

Well, we are still waiting to hear from Kiewit about a possible job opening that Jared interviewed for. It has been an anxious few months here in Utah. We are enjoying the being done with school but obviously are anxious to be in our own place and Jared to be working. In the meantime Dad and mom are keeping Jared busy with the promotion of the gardening book and odd jobs here and there around the house. We are very grateful to be at their house while we wait. Here are a few recent photos of Ellie and Brody.. so cute!...

Hellooo little Ellie Jane!

Here she is: and she is a good little baby.She has definately changed things in our house.

Almost done!

Jared is almost done with school and I am almost done with this pregnancy! But... we had a great summer in Utah/Idaho and here are some of my favorite photos:

The Chaffin Family Reunion.... good times!

Well, it was a successful family reunion. We played lots of waterballoon volleyball, saw the fireworks, stayed up too late, and got some good pictures out of the deal as well.

In the new place and Jared becoming an old fart!

So we are in the new place for the summer and Jared is turning 31! Grandma and Granpa Chaffin came to stay with us for part of the weekend so we got Jared an Indiana Jones Cake and had a party. It was fun and now Jared can't make any more cracks about me being an older woman for 6 months.

Grandma and Brody had a cake eating contest and Brody won... no surprise there; the kid lives on sugar!

The Last Days in Rexburg... (for now)

Our last Rexburg playdate for a while at Terry and Trina's... the kids did an easter egg hunt. It was a great day.
Our last day to play in the snow at the cabin this season. So much fun!


Jared got to try out Edwin's newest toys... the 2009 Polaris 800 Dragons... he loved it just a little bit too much... we think he either bruised or cracked a rib while showing off later in this sequence:) So worth it though.


Brody and Daddy on the Dragon... fun stuff. The whole day was a blast and Brody hasn't stopped talking about it. We actually made up a song about the "b-bile cabin" and he won't go to bed without it now.

The guys snowmobiling weekend

Jared in his happy place... Yeah all the guys went up to the cabin for the week and did guys stuff,... they watched movies, talked about dieting, complained about their spouses,discussed their favorite novels, watched movies, etc very manly stuff... they also broke a few rented machines. All in all, it sounded like they had a great time..

What were Brody and I doing while Jared and the boys were playing in the snow?... lets just say, it was really noisy and really messy... and Jared had to clean up the house when he got home (pretty much yer average couple of days)...
