We were at the Library, and Tyler could NOT believe they had the same book his teacher Miss Kindra likes to read to him at pre-school. He was so proud and couldn't wait to tell her all about it. He loves his teacher so much. She is a GREAT teacher.

CHASE PING PONG MASTER?
Chase LOVES to do everything Tyler does. Tyler thinks its fun.... unless it messes with his Ping Pong game. Look how much fun he's having though? hehe
FAVORITE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
I've always wanted a pair of tall black boots but I've been too shy to wear them because I'm taller than Jeremy. Well this year I said to heck with it.... they still give me a back ache but I just wear them here and there for a couple hours. I always liked the cute wallet I got this year from Lori. It holds EVERYTHING! There were other gifts I liked, but I don't have pictures for them. Jer got a macbook for his present. He liked it too. He got tricked a little, he had no clue it was coming.
Although the gifts are great, this year we did something neat. On Christmas morning before going downstairs to open gifts, we read the Christmas story with our boys. We thought it was good to literally put CHRIST first on Christmas morning. I'd like to do it each year, and know the boys will become more and more anxious Christmas morning to see their gifts, but it's important. Christmas gets so fun and busy, and it's easy to forget why we celebrate. I'm grateful for my Savior, and I'm glad we can take time to remember HIM.
CHRISTMAS CLASSICS
What's Christmas without some Christmas pj's and a baby falling asleep in the middle of the floor. All my REAL Christmas pictures are on my real camera on Jeremy's computer, so these are just the iphone ones. Soon I'll start blogging with decent quality pictures, but let's be honest - this is better than NOTHING RIGHT? Christmas was great... or so it seems it was. It was 8 months ago? Why do I wait so long to blog? 
WRAPPING PAPER OBSESSION
If you get a present from me throughout the year, you'll probably get it in the store bag I bought it from and if you're lucky from an old recycled bag in my basement. It's embarrassing really. However... I have this thing with wrapping presents at Christmas. It's so fun for me to pick a new paper each year, and spend the last few days before Christmas wrapping them cute, with personalized labels and all that. It's relaxing to me. I love it. For now at least.
LIFETIME CHRISTMAS PARTY
Lifetime Fitness puts on some GREAT holiday parties. These pictures were taken at the Christmas party. Tyler told Santa at this party that he wanted a penguin for Christmas. We had no idea why until we found out later, that his preschool teacher had read him a book about a funny penguin. It was random, but he never stopped asking for a penguin the whole Christmas season. Oh and POOR Chase- will someone get that kid a haircut!
BRAZILIAN FRIENDS!
While Jeremy served his mission in Brazil, he met some really great people. One family in particular I've got to meet and see a few times as they visit the U.S somewhat regularly. This is a picture of Sueli with our boys. Her daughter Erica came here a few years ago to study at BYU and we helped her find a place. She babysat Tyler while I played hockey a number of nights. She was awesome, just like an Aunt. We got to see Sueli this year around Christmas. It's always a real treat to see her, and to be reminded of Jeremy's time serving in Brazil. It was a hard 2 years for him (and for me while waiting), but the blessings and good that came from it are immeasurable. We are so lucky and so blessed. I'm proud of his mission, and I'm grateful for his mission friends!
SKATING AND SANTA
Last winter, Tyler started his little learn to skate program. It was the only thing he could start at that age, and it had a lot of girls in it. He started in the middle of a semester and you could tell he felt a little confused the whole time. Then he started a new semester from scratch and it all clicked and he understood what was going on. Tyler isn't used to not having complete control over his body. Once he got the hang of it, he loved it. He graduated Snowplow 1, then we got out of there and signed him up for real hockey. Something about being with girls in Figure Skates to learn how to skate really offended him (along with other people he lives with). At the end of the semester, he also got to skate with Santa. How exciting!
SAVE THIS FOR DADDY
Tyler made sure to save Jeremy part of his candy cane for a whole day while Jeremy was gone. It was so cute. As soon as Jeremy got home, Tyler rushed over to him and gave him the special treat. He's a sweetie!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLE!
There's not much more precious than Cole and Tyler's friendship. They could be brothers, but probably not, they don't fight enough for that! Tyler was SOOO excited to give Cole his Spiderman shoes for his birthday. It was Cole's request and Tyler was happy to fulfill it. Each time we get together with Cole, Uncle Jeremy takes them to get drinks and chips at Maverick. Cole looks forward to it, and it's such a fun tradition. When Livia was born, we were leaving the hospital, and that's where this tradition started.
DUMB AND DUMBER
Every road trip my family took growing up, we would watch Dumb and Dumber in the big maroon van. All Godfreys can quote that movie in their sleep. Well I thought it would be nostalgic to have Tyler watch it. He watched it....then I realized I wouldn't want him repeating lots of parts, so he'll have to wait to be able to quote it. Backwards. Underwater.
INTERUPTING DISNEY
I'm interupting the Disney posts (seeing that it's now August) to catch up on about 8months of blogging. I never even blogged about last Christmas. Man do I have my work cut out for me.
