Families just seem to get bigger no matter how you put it

My cousin young Benjamen Colton Hansen was born on January 6, 2009. He was 8lbs 12oz. 21in. and he looks so much like his dad. He is just so cute.

Better late than never....

On December 24th, 2008, my cousin Amberli had her baby boy Marshall. The poor baby was born with his insides out & they had to put his insides in, so he was in Primary Childrens NICU for awhile. But he is home now and is doing alright.

Little Marshall sure went through alot but he is on strong baby, and now he is home with his cousin Jaylynn who was born 2 1/2 weeks earlier.

Jaylynn sure looks so much bigger. They are both so cute thou.

Jaylynn is Amberli's sister Mariah's baby.

Connor's 1st Birthday and party

On January 24th we had Connor's 1st birthday party. Sadly only 5 people showed up, but for the most part he had fun. He had his Great Grandma Betty, his Great Grandpa, his Aunt Mary & his Grandma and Grandpa Snyder show up.

He got to open gifts and eat cake. He wasn't quite sure how to handle the cake part thou.

In the end he got more toys, clothes, and even a brand new car seat, which he needed badly. So it was nice to get.

On his actual birthday January 27, 2009, we didn't do anything special. We made a cake and let him eat in his high chair, which he enjoyed and he got cake all over.

Christmas 2008

This Christmas was a very enjoyable one cuz it was Connor's first Christmas. He got really spoiled, I think he got more gifts than anyone. Connor helped Clint open his gifts and Clint helped put toys together.

We invited Great Grandma Betty and Uncle Ren over for Christmas too.

After they left then we went to Grandma Dianne and Grandpa Dave's house. There Connor got to see Aunt Abby, Uncle Scott, Cousins Jaden, Alyssa, Braxton and even an old family friend Davie.

We all had lots of fun.

It took Connor awhile to get used to some toys but in the end he really liked them.

His Clifford car took some getting used to, cuz he kept thinking he was going to fall or it was going to eat him or something but he likes it now.
