Kennedy's favorite pacifier

I just had to share how funny this is. Sydney got this for us when Max or Sami was a baby, but wasn't ever really used until now, and she loves it. She calls it her "silly binky"
Oh, and I'm so excited I've figured out how to post on here, and from my phone!

Our new house so far!

Framing is all finished.....FINALLY! Now we are finding ourselves scrambling to make some big final decisions for what needs to happen next. Exciting, but nerve wracking at the same time. We are hoping to be in before April (fingers crossed everyone!)

Merry Christmas

As quoted from The Living Christ, we read, "As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has has so profound an influence upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth...

We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world...

His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come...

God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son."

Thanksgiving 2011

After a little confusion, and much wandering from

mostly the Garner clan, it was great to get together

and keep our family connections

for Thanksgiving this year.

We definitely missed Dustin, Alyssia, Ivy Marie (we haven't even seen her yet!), Juanee, Ryan, Bonnie and Sarah

My how the Baird family is growing!

Mommy row

The current new addition: Jose Baird

Uncle Russ gets some baby time

Kennedy and Lottie bonded via some lip gloss

A little brotherly love action

Thanks to Jeremy, Laurie,

&

Grandma and Grandpa Baird for organizing this years get together!

ps - All the rest of my pictures I took are video. I will have to make a short clip and post it later

*If any one else took pictures - share the love on the blog for us!

Dunn's Five Generation 'From 1 to 103 years!'

Zac and Taylor's

Oliver Dunn

is named after Zac's Great Grandfather

"Oliver Dunn"

who just turned an AMAZING 103 years old!

He is quite spry, only mildly using a cane, still sharp and happy as ever!

He wants to live until his wife turns 100 (I think that is four more years)

He is so nice and always smiling.

He is the oldest ever Eagle Scout.

Check out his birthday news spotlight.

Utah man and woman celebrate more than a century of living

Here is little Oliver's five generation picture

Great, Great Grandpa Oliver's birthday party

OK, Payton is crazy

A few weeks ago Payton laid a nice gash in his thumb

cutting through his tendon.

He had surgery to reattach it and close up the wound.

They had to place a pin in his thumb to keep it in immobile while it healed.

Monday he went in to get the stitches out.

The doctor tested the pin and said it was not yet ready to come out,

and to come back in a couple weeks.

Payton had been on the count down to get the darn thing out.

He couldn't wait any longer

Check out the video

*unless you are grossed out by that kind of stuff

Then simply go about your merry way not thinking

one bit about a pin coming out - it's a chill maker!

See Matt grow a GIANT PUMPKIN !

It was an awesome year for the Grow Big or Go Home Mountain Green clan.

Matt totally creamed his winning record from last year with not one,

but two awesome pumpkins.

His Utah record breaking weight last year was 1169 lbs. This year he broke that record for a short moment with a 1300+ giant. I can't remember the exact size since just a few minutes later they stuck his gigantor alien pumpkin on the scale and it weighed in at

a whopping 1600 lbs!!

What an awesome moment for Matt and all of us Crazy Matt lovers!

The winner got blessed with a chilly ice water dowsing

followed by a big whip cream pie to the face.

Matt's plan next year is to take the year off

from growing the giant orange blobs,

build a giant green house instead

and shoot for the World record in 2013!!

See Matt

See Matt haul crap.........

Go Matt Go!!
