My little Boy

It seems like at this age you spend a lot of time sitting around in your room. These pictures are from a night of that.I LOVE baby yawns!
Leslie Lu wanted to be with the "Bebe" as she says.

Christmas Morning

Grandpa took all the pictures this morning so I could just sit back and enjoy the show!! That was a gift all by its self! This Christmas we had church right after the opening of the presents so we kind of rushed through it.

I love this shot!






It was a great Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Yes we did the nativity scene again! Of course it was fun! It is always fun to get together and enjoy each other. Aiden and Leslie Lu still didn't know what to do this year. It was fun to see them in their outfits.

Christmas Season 2011

Well we have a lot of pictures to show today. Grandma and Grandpa Hausen come to visit! In fact, these first few pictures are from them. We went to the Mercer Arboretum and walked around. Lately everytime we go there it seems like they have done something new. This makes it a treat to walk around and explore to see what is new.

Here is all of us together.Grandpa decided to take a picture of me!
I think this was the most smile Hyrum would give. FETCHER! Hehe :P
The kids LOVED having Grandma and Grandpa there with us. They are way more exciting then Don and I.
We had another year of great fall colors (for Texas anyway)! I just had to get a picture of it. Soooo I begged Don to stand there and let me take some pictures.
He kinda tolerated it.
That is right put your nose in the air! Fetcher! What is with the boys in this family?!
And then we have Grandpa. Redemption for the boys team! Thank you Grandpa!
Here we all are. Again notice the boys. Even Michael has decided to join Don and Hyrum in the "anti picture movement".
But luckily we have mainly girls in this family! Here is Adelyn.
Leslie Lu was loving pointing to everything. Such a fun age I think!
So when we got out of the car and I put Michael in my jacket. Little miss Adelyn decided she was SOOOOO embarrassed of me! She begged me to not look like this. I just can't imagine why though? Can you?! I LOVE my Curves.!)
Leaves anyone?
Don took these next 2 pictures. He was able to get a better smile from Hyrum.
Don is definitely getting better at taking pictures! Course it helps to have such wonderful subjects!
Again with the pointing! So cute!
These last few pictures the girls wanted to have them taken. They picked where and how. And just like a true model they are very opinionated about it!



Elena took this one.

Sleepy Michael

How can any parent resist these moments! Especially with this little one. He sure has given me my run for the money. He has been waking up about every 2 hours at night! I thought that only lasts till they were 2 to 3 weeks. Apparently he didn't get that memo!

More from Elena's 10 Birthday

Here is Nena and her friends. We went and saw the movie "Puss in Boots". These girls had a fun time. Elena was over the top happy and outgoing. As a parent it is fun to see your child this way.It really was a super silly group!!! They were dancing around in the car on the way home that I just had to stop and let them play freeze dance in a parking lot. So totally girlie and so totally fun!

Elena's 10th Birthday!

Holy Cow! I swear every year goes by faster and faster!!

I really hope her birthday wishes come true!



Since she is older now we decided to do something different for her birthday. We took her and some friends to the movies and cupcakes afterwards! So we didn't make her family party and gifts very big. But she ended up having a BLAST anyway! I will have to share those cellphone shots later. I just love this girl!
