My New Baby Sister... belated

So last month on the 25th my Mommy had our baby!

My Mommy's tummy was sooooo big!



The baby was born in a big pool in our living room.



And I was there to watch and to help.


When she came out, we were all so happy! (The water is green because of some ginger tea the midwives put into it!)





It was a baby girl, and we named her Iris.





A bunch of our family came to see the baby be born!



Here is my grandma Margo, my grandpa Eric, and my mom's friend Susan.

I sure like my sister!



This is the midwife Valerie, weighing my baby. She weighed 8 pounds, seven ounces! That is over a pound bigger than I was!



Here is Iris, one day old.



I decided since she was one day old it was time for me to hold her. (I didn't really want to hold her before, I was pretty tired.)



Now I hold her a lot and she and I do a lot of stuff together.



I'm sure glad to have a sister!

Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam!

To shine for him each day!

Today was my very first day of Sunbeams! I got to go to big boy Primary, and my teacher is Sister Kunz, and I didn't sing, I was very quiet.

Merry Christmas!

We had Christmas again!



On Christmas Eve, I got to open my Christmas pajamas!



My baby got a stroller for Christmas, and I practiced pushing it, because that is the big brother's job.



My Dad and I got lightsabers for Christmas! (He's Anakin, I'm Luke)



I also got a Batman blanket!



My Uncle Scott's doggy Duke was with us for Christmas. He got a bone!



Merry Christmas!


E Out!

Snow Snow Snow!

It snowed!

My daddy wasn't home, so I went out and swept all the snow off the sidewalk!



Then I broke the ice popsicles off the truck.



Snow Snow Snow!

E Out.

More Music!

My Mom buys me these yummy Spiderman fruit snacks, but before I can eat any, I have to sing the Spiderman song.



I love to sing!

My Movie Soundtrack!

So my very favorite movie is The Hobbit. There is a REALLY scary part where those badguys (goblins) chase Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf and the dornes (dwarves) up into some trees.

Then they sing this song:



It is such a fun song! (and kind of scary)

(lyrics)
Fifteen Birds
In five fir trees,
Their feathers were fanned
In the fiery breeze.

What funny little birds,
They have no wings,
Oh what shall we do
With the funny little things?

Our Elk Hunt

So we got home yesterday from hunting. We were gone for 11 days!

I had a lot of fun. There was so much to do!

My Auntie Rhienne took me on some cool 4-wheeler rides



Of course I went hunting, with my Mom and Dad.



I helped my Mom and Dad look for elks to shoot.



Here is the lake we were camped by, so I did some fishing.





Because I am so much bigger this year, I had to do some chores too.

I chopped firewood



My dad helped (a little)



And of course I had to help take care of all the elk we brought in.

My Dad is a really good hunter. He got his elk on the first day!



My uncle Roger got his elk the second day (my Mom helped)



and my Grandpa got his elk on the fifth day.



My Dad also shot 5 grouse while we were there, and my Mom made grouse pasta alfredo! MMMmmmm...



Now we have lots and lots of elk to eat, and we'll do it again next year, too!
