One Tiny Announcement

I forgot when I was updating the blog, but I remembered now.  Just wanted to let everyone know that we are having another boy!  It wasn't exactly what we were expecting to find out.  In fact it was pretty much the biggest shock we've had in a long time.  Who would figure that we would get 5 boys.  I guess we have our basketball team, and one little cheerleader.  Mary was okay with the idea although she still expresses a little disappointment.  The boys really wanted another sister, and were pretty let down.  They said that they wanted to have a sister so that Mary would leave them alone.  I've let them know that now that will never happen.  We have no clue what to name him, but time will tell.  Anyone need any girl clothes?

Crazy January!!

So this last month was a little crazy, hence the reason I didn't update the blog all month.  We celebrated Jakey's 6th birthday.  It was a lot of fun for everyone.  Especially Jake.  He got two birthdays.  One on his birthday and the other about 4 days before his birthday.  We had to accomodate Daddy.  He started a new semester in school.  20 Credit hours!  Can we all say "Crazy"?

Anyway, all of the family decided that we would try out Jumpin Jacks for Jakes family party.  It was actually a really great place and I felt so relaxed.  For once I didn't care that my kids were jumping around all over the place.  All over everything, and I didn't care.  I actually encouraged it.  I would have joined in, but  I wasn't allowed to because of my current status.

My brother and his friend were able to come up from Provo to spend Jakes birthday with us.  It was so nice of them.  He really goes out of his way to make it to all these family events.  A lot of miles on his car too.  We really appreciate it though.  It means  so much to everyone.

Oh, We also celebrated my birthday, my brothers birthday, and my dads birthday.  Like I said, one crazy month.  Aaron made me a homemade cheesecake for my birthday.  It is one of my favorites and he did an awesome job!  It tasted wonderful.  Look at my cute baby.

Bedtime for Sethy

This is Seth in his cute bathrobe right before bed last night.  Aaron and I thought that he looked so sophisticated with his little hand in his pocket.

He even moved closer to the camera so that we could better view of him.  What a ham!  

This is what we found after prayers and we told Seth to go climb into bed.  He just told daddy that he wanted to read books.  He took everybook that was in his room and put them on his bed with the hopes that Daddy would sit down and read to him all night.  We ended up only reading 2 or 3 and then he put on his headlamp and read until he fell asleep.  We did move the books off his bed so that he could find his sheets and go to sleep.  He's just so cute!

Hamburgers at home!

So, this is how we do hamburgers at the Libby home.  This is how Aarons Dad did it with him, and now this is how we do it with our kids.  For some reason the kids think that it is the greatest way to make a hamburger patty ever.  First daddy rolls ground beef into a ball on wax paper,

then the kids get to sit on a plate to squish the hamburger.  As you can see Seth is pretty happy that he gets to do this with daddy.

I love this picture because Mary has her legs straight out as stiff as she can get them.  Even her little toes are spread out because she's trying to keep her legs out.  Aaron was just getting a kick out of it.

It was fun to make them, and boy, were those hamburgers tasty!!  Better than anything you can buy at fastfood.

Sunday at the Libby's

Don't they all look so sharp in their new Sunday outfits?

Hey Dear, Lets take the kids out to the freezing cold!

So it's the day after christmas and we decided that we wanted to take the kids to see the lights at Temple Square before they get shut off on New Years.  It was a toasty 13 degrees outside.  We put the kids in their snow suits to make sure they maintained the most warmth possible.  I was really surprised to see how some people were dressed.  Either I have turned into a complete sissy in the cold, or their minds don't register that if they aren't dressed warm then they'll freeze!  Whatever the case, I was glad and the kids were glad that they were bundled.  It ended up being alot of fun.  Good memories.

Christmas Day!!

So, I feel really bad because Aaron and I were so caught up in video taping that we forgot to take any still pics at our own home.  I guess I will have to make a mental note of that for next year. At least I got pics at the grandparents home.

Everyone had such a good time being together and exchanging gifts.  It was so much fun to see the kids reactions and expressions opening things. 

Aside from the toys and such and their grandparents home, all the kids also recieved new church outfits.  They are so awesome, and the kids were pretty excited, with the exception of Jacob.  He didn't think the suit was anything to be excited about and almost immediatly after opening it, he pushed the box aside and told Grandpa that he didn't want that for Christmas.  He ended up getting a quick chastening from mommy and then went to apologize for being ungrateful.  I guess gratitude is something that we're not born with.  

Besides that little tantrum, all went well.  No tears were spilt, everyone seemed happy, and we all had alot of fun.

This is what happened to Micah after just a short morning of festivities.  He was so tired that he fell asleep on the hard tray while eating cheerio's.  Poor guy.

The rest of the kids were too excited to see what was in all the wrapping.  They were bouncing around all day long.  They were all very lucky.  Grandma Adrianne gave the kids robes for Christmas.  The boys are so excited because now they only need to wear underwear to bed, and they can cover up with their robes while they get ready.  It was a dream come true.

Overall, we had a great time together as a family,  and with our extended family members.  It was a busy day as always, but just as enjoyable as it always is too.  THanks everyone for such a special and great Christmas day together.
