Christmas and all that stuff.

Dylan can't help himself when it comes to pictures these days! Ha!

Yummy!

Dad pondering the joyous season.

Kyla and her new babydoll. She loves it!

And now, a series of Kylas Christmas pictures! Enjoy!
Umm...do I really have to sit and be pretty?

What if I don't want to?


This was your dumb idea, I said I didn't want to take pictures right now!!

Aww, that's better. Merry Christmas!


Christmas in Pocahontas.
Uncle Josh as the swing. Kylas favorite!

Cousins stick together. Logan and Paige.

Look out! Ella is rocking that rocking chair!

Hiding Mom and Dad from their big surprise.

Mom doesn't look too happy, but Dad thinks it's pretty funny. She will learn to love her new toy! (A big screen tv)


We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season, and has a safe and happy 2009!

With Love,
The Hos

Kyla and the Christmas Tree.

This year is really the first year that Kyla can take notice of the Chrismas tree. She loves it. We have had to put all the ornaments out of reach!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Brian carving the turkey.

Kyla thought it was great fun to climb on Grandpa to get up on the couch!

Uncle Charles, & Kyla.

Grandpa, Brian, & Kyla.

Happy Halloween!

Kyla, our little pumpkin. She didn't wear the costume for long!

Dylan, the scary reaper guy. Logan, Bumblebee from Transformers, and Kyla the pumpkin.

Happy Birthday Logan!

Logan turned 5 this year, I can't believe it myself. We went to Chuck-E-Cheeses to celebrate. The kids had a great time, I think Dad did too!

Here's Logan & Brian playing a fire fighting game. Logan was pretending he was Grandpa Rog!

Meeting Chuck-E.

My babys.

Watching the show.

Summer Daze.....

It's been quite a while, but we've had very a busy summer!
Brian and Logan were in our friends, Jeff and Kelley's wedding. Don't they look handsome?



Amelia came home for a visit, and we got together with Dad for a nice dinner.

Ask her about this night!

The boys continued to act goofy!

Kyla learned how to pull herself up!

We spent a lot of time at the pool!

Both boys became good swimmers!

Little Kyla wasn't too sure about any of it.


Dylan turned 11!

We went go-carting.


And mini-golfing.

Brian and I went on a couple of bike trips. One to Milwaukee for Harley Davidsons 105th Anniversary.

Kyla turned 1! She started walking exactly one week before her birthday.

She's very fond of her baby doll.

Before we knew it the boys were back in school. Now it's starting to get cold. Hope to see everyone for the holidays!
