Ezra's surgery

As some of you know Ezra was born with skin tags by his ear. It was something the he inherited from the Payne side of the Family. (I just wanted to make that clear) Anyway we had them removed on Monday. We had to be a Primary Children's at 6 am. He finally went into the operating room by 7:30 and was out in about 1 hour. He did great and we are excited for his stitches to be removed next Tuesday! Here is a picture before his surgery.
Getting ready to go to the hospital!
A picture after his surgery.

We had the kids pictures taken for Amelia's third birthday and Ezra's 6 month. They turned out really cute, they really cooperated and we got smiles out of both of them!

Amelia's Three!

Amelia got birthday flowers from her daddy. She felt like a true princess
Thank you Shelly for the cute birthday breakfeast idea. We need as many reasons as possible to blow out candles.

Amelia wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese, she had so much fun riding the rides!
This is the cute little teapot that she got from the Chalks. The whole family has had to have tea and we even have assigned cup colors. It's lots of fun!

Messy Face

This is Ezra's first time eating solids. He had carrots and he was all business, there is no messing around when it comes to eating. I had to keep the food coming at a steady pace or there were tears!

We had a really great Christmas this year! We were in Arizona and so we enjoyed the nice warm weather. This was Ezra's first Christmas, so he had lots of fun opening his presents! okay so he could of really cared less, but we had fun watching him play with all his new toys. As for Amelia she totally understood what was going on this year. She was so excited for Santa to come and boy did he ever come!! Amelia and her cousin Marley got really spoiled by Santa this year. Overall it was a great day and mom and dad are glad it's over!

Family Christmas Picture

We have embarked on a new adventure this year. What is it you ask? Well it's trying to get two kids ages 2 and 4 months to look at the camera without crying or making funny faces. We did several sessions and by the end of each session everyone was mad at each other. okay well maybe I was the only mad at everyone. We finally got a picture, it wasn't our favorite, but we had to make it work before someone died!!

AH MAN (as Amelia would say) we almost had a winner. Look how cute Ezra is smiling. Amelia on the other hand refused to look at the camera.

Ezra has had enough of this looking cute for a picture stuff.

Amelia can barely hold Ezra up.

Here is the winning picture. They may both be making funny faces, but at least one of them is not crying and they are both looking at the camera!!
