Potty Training...completed!

Khloe has finally mastered the potty training bit! She is doing great day and night! The first night that she didn't have an accident was quite cute. She woke up in the middle of the night to come sleep with mommy and daddy. I put her back in her bed and went back to bed myself. I couldn't fall asleep right away...Well across the living room, I saw the bathroom light go on. I waited to see what was going on, then I saw a little head with curlers run thru the hallway, then back again. I saw the light go on and off about 5 times and finally off. The next morning I asked Kelsey if she went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. She said it wasn't her, then Khloe piped up and said, "It was me, mommy!" I couldn't believe it! I checked her pull up to see if it was wet and sure enough it was dry! Khloe has mastered the whole potty thing! Yay!

I have to say that she wears a pull up at night, just in case, but she wears her panties over her pull up so she still feels like a "big girl"! Too cute!

This is the first time in over 8 years that I have not had to buy or change any diapers!

Rockin' New Year's Eve...

This was our crazy family on New Year's Eve...
You can see we are such a Rockin' family...
Kelsey and Khloe zonked out way before midnight,
(althought they gave a good try at staying awake)!
Mom got sick and stayed in bed and John was busy doing laundry...
So Kimber, Craig and I rocked out...
Yeah, right!
Kimber with Khloe who was totally passed out!

Kimber with Kelsey who was in dreamland with Khloe!

Kissin' at 12:00!

Craig and Kimber shooting off poppers in the kitchen...
It didn't even wake the other 2 girls up!
Happy New Year!
I just know 2009 is going to be a good one!

Goodbye Uncle Carl!

We all had so much fun while Carl was here.
It was his first trip to Spokane and we loved having him stay with us!
The girls loved hanging on him and having tickle fights with him.
We just loved having him and sharing Christmas with him.

Khloe, Kimber and Uncle Carl

We hope he comes again for another visit soon!
Make it the summer time so we won't be snowed in the whole visit!

Temple trip...

The Bergmann/Benefiel family!
We went to the Temple with Craig's family.
It was neat to be there together as a family.

the Holiday Cruise on Lake Coeur d'Alene

We went on the holiday cruise on Lake Coeur d'Alene.
It was freezing, but once we got on the boat and inside, it was great!
We got to see lots of lights and see Santa too!

The cruise was a hit!
We had fun drinking hot chocolate and eating brownies and rice krispie treats!
Most of all we had fun watching Santa and seeing the lights.

Kimber's Baptism

Kimber got baptized on December 27th!
I can't believe my baby is this old already!
She was so excited for this special day.
She had tons of family here to witness this sacred event.
She was able to have 2 sets of grandparents, great grandparents, 5 aunts, 5 uncles and 3 cousins here for her special day!
Kimber and daddy...

I am so proud of Kimber and her decision to be baptized!
Shis a great girl and a wonderful example!
Love you lots Kimber!

Sledding Time...

We had to show Uncle Carl a good time somehow.
Since we were pretty homebound because of all the snow...
We decided to go sledding...
We found a hill not too far away and made a go at it.
It was quite funny to see us try to sled and then walk back up in thigh high snow, and that would be over waist high for the girls!
Carl and Kimber TRYING to make their way back up the sledding hill...
Carl and Craig waiting for the girls to come back up...

Here's Carl and Khloe takin' a turn...

Khloe made it, where's Uncle Carl?
Kelsey wiped out...

Here's Carl pulling Khloe back up the hill.
She was so lucky, she got a ride down and then another ride up!
We had a ton of fun sledding!

Christmas day...

We had such a wonderful Christmas!
Not only did the girls get tons of presents

I love my family so much and know that I am truly blessed!
Merry Christmas!
