Happy New Year!!

Well, it is hard to believe it is New Year's

Eve. Another year has flown by though I

probably won't remember too much other

than what is told to me by others. It has

been a good, fun year. I continue to learn

new things everyday and enjoy everything

around me! I am truly blessed and life is GOOD!!

I am full of energy and life and love

being outside running around. It is

cold her and we still have a little snow on

the ground. The foothills around us are

covered and it is a beautiful sight to see!!

One of my favorite things is my dog Koda!

I love him and I absolutely love playing with

him. I run after him, give him kisses, and

literally love on him all the time. He is a good

sport and tolerates me well! He is my buddy!!

Life as I know it!!

Happy 2008 to you all! I wish you a

Happy and Blessed New Year!! May

we all be thankful for what we have

and remember how fortunate we are!

Also to remember GOD IS GOOD!!!

CHRISTMAS 2007

For Christmas this year we went back to

Pennsylvania to spent it with mommy's family!!

We had such a good time!!! Of course I got to

spent it with my cousins and that was the

best part. This is us in our RED Christmas

outfits in front of aunt Tara's tree. She had

her house decorated so nice for Christmas!!!!

My family at Grandpa and Grandma Hess's house.

We spent a few night at their house and then

spent a few at my cousins.

Us posing in front of the fireplace!!

This is us in our matching pajamas. We make it

a tradition to getting matching pj's every year.

This was Christmas Eve. We had a big turkey for

lunch, then played a lot. Went to a Christmas Eve

service at uncle Chris's and aunt Tara's church and

then went back and opened presents. I got a lot

of fun presents. Got a truck, a doodle board, lots of

clothes and a few other toys. It was a blast!! And of

course we had more food too. I really liked the

peanut butter cookies with the hersey kiss on top.

Ummmm so GOOD!! It was a fun Christmas

Eve!! Then Christmas morning got up and

watched my cousins open their prestents from

Santa Clause. He didn't bring me anything

though! Had breakfast and played some

more. Then off to the Hess's we went!!!

My cute cousins. They are so fun and I had such

a good Christmas with you guys. Thank you for

making it the perfect Christmas!!! I already miss

you guys. No more play mates!!

Me with Grandpa and Ashton. Grandpa, I just

love you!! Thank you for playing with me and

for always making if fun when you are around.

You are truly one of a kind and the BEST!!

Mommy and aunt Tara. Mommy was very

glad to spend Christmas with her. Thank you

aunt Tara for everything you did!!!

Me in my pajama's with my John Deer hat

that my cousins got me. I am not a big hat

fan though... I just hate the way it feels on

my head!! It is fun to play with though and

mommy says how cute I look if I would only

leave it on!!

The Kaley family~ Christmas Eve...

off to church we go!!!

Morning time... it was so fun, we got our

chocolate mik and ran around in our pajama's!!
While we were home, mommy got together with

her college friends and had a very good time.

There are four of us kids now and one on the way.

It sure does make it different with kids!!!

Christmas at the Hess's!! Christmas Day we went to

my great-grandpa and grandma Hess's! It was a

GREAT day. They actually did Christmas at the

church b/c the Hess clan keeps growing. I think about 41

total. Grandma Hess still does all the cooking and baking

and man can she cook. She had a full spread. It was a

all so delicious! I think it is the most food I ate the whole

week I was there. I also got a Hess truck this year and

it is a really neat one. I ran around all day and played.

Everyone said how good I did and didn't even know I was

around. The Hess's always have a big rook tournament in the

evening and mommy and daddy got to play. It is one of

mommy's favorite things. Her and daddy got second place

and Grandma Hess always gives out money prizes. It

truly was a wonderful day. Needless to say, I crashed hard

that night. We left the next day and then back home again!

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!!

Christ is truly the reason for the season and God is

so good, so good all the time!!

Our Christmas Tree

Going to get our Christmas tree. This year we

decided to go into the Boise National Forest to

get our tree. It was so much fun and we are going

to start making a tradition out of it. It was cold,

but fun!! You just get a permit and then you go

into designated areas and are able to cut down

any tree within that area. We went up to Idaho

City to find ours. This is Owen being a trooper

for the car ride up there.

Owen in the snow. I am not quite sure what he

thought, but think he liked it. It was just very

cold for his little body. I mean in the teens cold!!!

Aaron found our Tree!!! So he cut it

down and hauled it back to the truck!!

Loading it up. It actually wasn't that bad getting

it down off the mountain and into the truck. It

was a nice tree too. Thanks Honey!!

Owen loving it in the back of daddy's truck!!

It was a true Kodak moment!!
