Same Schmame

For Christmas, Livvy and I both received mixers- mine a Kitchenaid- her's a Fisher Price :). While the boys left to go trapping for the day, Livvy and I set up our mixers and went to baking. She loved being home alone to lick the 'giant beater'. She insisted we both wear our pink aprons and have the same measuring cups. But also notice the Pepsi in the second picture- Mom's been a little sleep-deprived lately and needed a Pepsi to keep her going through this baking experience- thus my twinner need a cup of Pepsi of her own too :)

Ike's Special Day

We blessed Ike on January 10th- Wyatt and Livvy dubbed it his 'special day'. He wore the same little tux that Wyatt was blessed in, but I had to hem up the pants and the top bottom kept popping open under fat chin :). He's such a handsome little stud.

His sister loves him to pieces- somedays I really think he wishes he could just get up and escape!
Best buds :)

This is so our little family- Wyatt screwing around and Livvy making sure that everyone is watching her- and what the heck is up with my hair? Yuck is all I have to say.

With Grandma and Grandpa Turner

The whole Scoffield family- this doesn't happen very often- especially when they will agree to take a picture :).

Grandma and Grandpa Scoffield- or as they are called around here- Grandma Wendy and Grandpa Jon.

Thanks to all the family that traveled so far to be here with us. It sure means alot. Shelby gave our sweet little guy a wonderful blessing. I was just so overwhelmed by my blessings that entire day. I'm so blessed with an amazing husband that truly honors his priesthood and is such an awesome father. A wonderful family that supports and loves us. Sweet kids- especially my new bundle of love- It was a day to be remembered.

Ike 6 weeks

Ike has been dealing with acid reflux lately. So yesterday we went to the doctor to get him some medicine and weighed him. He is now 11 lbs. 11 ounces and 22 inches long. That means he's gained almost 4 pounds and grown 4 inches in the last month! What a chunk!

Fun in the Snow

We got a good snowfall over New Years and the kids and I snuck outside while Ike was asleep and had a few fun minutes in the snow. We built a couple of mini snowmen (the snow wouldn't pack well).

Christmas with the Scoffields

After Salt Lake, we traveled back up to Tremonton to spend the weekend with Shelby's family. The kids were spoiled to pieces, as were Shelby and I.

My sweet little present :)

Livvy opening up her Tinkerbell styling kit- beautiful!

Wyatt's favorite presents were his welding set- complete with helmet, pretend welder, and gloves, and his new tool set that even has a grinder in it! He was so excited. He keeps wanting to go to work with his dad and take his welder and grinder :)

Beck Family Christmas Party

We traveled to Salt Lake the day after Christmas for the Beck Family Christmas party (my mom's family). It was fun to see everyone that we don't get to see very often. Below is a picture of most of the great-grandkids, I think that there are 3 missing that were home sick. Grandma and Grandpa had their hands full!

It was fun for G-ma and G-pa Beck to meet Baby Ike too.

Christmas Morning 2009

Santa found our house this year- even without a chimney (Shelby hasn't finished installing our new wood stove yet). The most loved gift was the gun safe that Santa (Shelby) made for Wyatt complete with it's own lock and key to keep little sisters out. This picture is Wyatt dancing for joy in the background, while Livvy already tries to take it over by hiding her stuff in it while he isn't looking :).


Livvy loved her new Barbies and their not so modest outfits. In my defense, my grandma Turner also made a few modest dresses for Livvy to dress her Barbie in. There are very few (none) modest clothes for Barbies out there!

His new hat- just like dad. He looks so handsome in it- and grown up *tear*
Livvy also received a Barbie head that she can style. Hopefully this will help my hair stay safe and hers as well- note the bangs in this picture that Livvy had cut for herself the day before. Oh the joys of children.
Goggles for riding the 4-wheeler and snowmobiles with Dad.

Ike's position on the floor next to Mom during all the hustle and bustle. I tried to protect him from the flying wrapping paper and boxes.
Wyatt got a TV plug-in arcade style hunting game. Shelby claimed to be 'helping' him use it, but has spent more time on it by far :).

Will We?

We have a very unique situation on our hands- there is a very real possibility that the Tooth Fairy AND Santa Clause may be visiting our house tonight. Is this the first time in history that such a miracle has occurred? Wyatt thinks so.

The real question is: Will they both remember to come?

Christmastime Fun

Last Saturday, the city of Gooding had some fun activities planned on Main Street. They blocked off a few blocks and had horse and buggy rides, free movies, free potatoes with chili, free cookies, and Santa rode into town on a fire truck. I knew Wyatt would LOVE to see Santa on the fire truck, so even though it was snowing like crazy, we bundled up and went to town. (Disclaimer: Shelby stayed home with Ike for those of you thinking I was a horrible mother for taking my newborn baby out in that weather :).

They anxiously watched and waited for any sign of the fire truck:


Then they waited for their turns to tell Santa what they wished him to bring them for Christmas. Livvy is terrified of Santa for some reason and the only picture I've ever gotten of her on Santa's lap is when she was 9 months old- and she was screaming. That's the last time she's come near him. She wouldn't even trust standing by me because I think she thought I would make her- I wouldn't, but she wasn't sure. So Grandma took her VERY unhappily close to Santa to whisper what she wanted "A Barbie" and get her candy cane.
Not Wyatt. He ran up to Santa and jumped on his lap and asked lots of questions. When asked what he wanted for Christmas, he replied- " A new gun......with REAL bullets". Keep dreaming little guy.
I love making Christmas candy- it's a tradition that I look forward to every year. This year the monsters wanted to help, so we set up a pretzel dipping station for them while I made the fudge, caramels, and toffee. It was a messy affair, but they loved it. However, there was lots of finger-licking going on, so I think they get to keep all those pretzels to themselves :).

Fa-La-La-La-La

Wyatt does not sing. Almost never. Even if he knows the song, he's just too cool. But tonight while we were decorating the Christmas tree, he kept spontaneously breaking into song- singing Jingle Bells and mostly just 'Fa-la-la-la-la-la". Shelby and I could hardly keep a straight face- we got such a kick out of him. Every time he would stop, Shelby would loudly shout out 'Fa-la-la-la' to get him going again. Shelby also doesn't sing- Ever. So between the two, it was all I could do not to bust out laughing at them.
