Tyler's hair

It was so hard for me to cut Ty's hair.  His hair was so curly.  Logan had curly hair and after I cut it the curl never came back.  Well Tyler started looking a little bit like a girl so I finally cut it, and I"m happy to say.  It's still curly!

He also likes me to have his hair done.  He will go to the bathroom and get me a spray bottle and mousse.  It's so cute.

Finger Painting

Derek loves to paint, so I got him some finger paints for his birthday.  Of course Tyler doesn't like to be left out.

Derek's Birthday

Derek turned 4.  He is such a character.  He is definitely the tease in our family and especially loves to tease and make Isaac mad.  He has this smile that he thinks lets him get away with anything.  He is extremely happy.  He loves to cuddle and has moved his bed in with the big kids and loves it.  He kept telling us he didn't turn 4 until he had his cupcakes.  He likes to play ping pong, and video games.  He likes to paint and play games like UNO and go fish.  He pretty much likes to do anything that anybody else is doing as long as he doesn't have to eat potatoes or carrots.  

 This is the present he got from great Grandma.

 He wanted cupcakes and cake for his birthday.

 We had steak and crab legs for dinner.

Enjoying the cupcakes.

Itty Bitty Ball

Derek played itty bitty basketball at the rec center.  He loved it he loves being involved and takes it very seriously.   

 They always have one station that is just fun.

 shooting.

 Doing some passes.  I put on so many pictures because check out the faces  he makes in each one.

The lion always comes on the last day.

Grandpa Smith comes for a visit.

Grandma Smith went to India on a trip and Grandpa came to visit us while she was gone.  We took him to 3 BYU Basketball games, 2 of Logan's games, and 2 of Haley's games. He played uno with Isaac every day.  

 Haley won this scarf and beanie at the game.

We spent one Sunday playing games all day long, and then Amanda, Amol, and Jordan came over for dinner and more games.  It was a lot of fun.

New Years Eve

 Playing with the karaoke machine from Grandma from Christmas.

 We watched Harry Potter on the new screen with projector we got for Christmas.

 Kevin cracked our stove top trying to open a wine bottle (for the soup not celebrating) :)

 The aforementioned soup.  Homemade French Onion Soup

 We watched the ball drop (at 10) on the big screen and did poppers.

Then some yummy peppermint ice cream dessert.
