Hogle Zoo

For Christmas we were so excited that we got a Zoo pass!  Last week we went to the Zoo lights at Hogle Zoo.  I thought it was way better than the denver zoo lights.

 staying warm

 This snow leopard was going crazy.  It was neat.

And yesterday we went to with our cousins and it was such a nice day to go.  I think we are going to try to go every thursday to get out of the house....unless someone wants to go another day, just let me know.  we love play dates!

 The tigers were way fun to watch

 watching the orangatang trying to escape

 lots of ducks!

 Jefrie and Eastyn both went down this slide all by themselves.  Its is a pretty big (long) slide, i didnt think Jefrie would do it.  I would have gotten a pic of Eastyn but she plopped on her tummy and just went and she went fast.  lol

We had so much fun!!!  

Christmas

On the 23rd ALL of the Cobbley clan got together for a sleepover.  We had a yummy dinner and then learned about our ancestors then we had a dance party.  It was sooo fun watching all the kids dance.    

 Jefrie learned new moves from her older cousins, like break dancing.

 Eastyn loves to shake her little body.

 On Christmas Eve we all went ice skating.  Jefrie LOVED it!  It was so nice that they had the little walker for her but she did it with out it too!  She is a pro.

 Eastyn wanted to go sooo bad but she is still a little small but she liked standing by the window as everyone skated past.  She also took pictures...kinda

 Jefrie and daddy

After skating we met up with some of my family and saw people that we have not seen in a while.  It was really nice.  Then for dinner we made waffles with strawberries and whipped cream which is a tradition from the Crider side and is sooooooooo yummy!!!

 Christmas morning:  Opening our stockings

 Jefrie loves her new hat!

The girls got a lot of cool and fun things. 

 Eastyn loves her puppy!  Thanks gma Crider!

 Aaron's favorite movie

 first thing she grabbed and did when Jefrie opened her potato heads.  lol

 Thank you nana and papa for the cute pj's and cloths!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  And that you have a happy new year

Pics w/ santa

We got our pictures with Santa (aka Aaron) today thru Fotofly.  It was only a 5 minute sesson but it was really nice because the girls stayed happy.  lol  When we walked in the room Eastyn started to cling to me because there where 2 other santas in the room but when she saw her daddy dressing up she calmed down.  Jefrie was just so excited about having daddy be santa and getting pictures done.

Updates on our cute lil family

So a lot has happened since last post.  Aaron got a job up in Salt Lake City so we packed up and moved....again.  Its been very nice having Aaron love his job and him coming home happy.  I dont like that I had to leave my mom again but she is only 4 hours away and we are by Aaron's family and my aunt and cousins.   :-)  The transition has been rough with the girls.  Eastyn is finally sleeping through the night again. It could have been because of her teething (all 4 molars and a canine) but im just glad she is sleeping again.  We are staying with Aaron's family for a little while and Im dreading when we move again how the girls will do.  Jefrie says, "i wanna go home"  every once in a while and its just breaks my heart.  But anyway other than that things a going well.  :-)

 Jefrie got to make cookies with my aunt Terri

 She had so much fun with the kid size baking tools.

 Eastyn kept herself busy with all the "new things" while Jefrie baked.

 This is a picture of Jefrie's new haircut.  Its soo cute when I round brush it under. (its just air dried in this pic)

 My mom came up for me to cut and color her hair and this is the only picture i got with her in it.  I will have to be better about picture taking next time she comes up.  We were at aunt Terri's house again and Jefrie loved holding baby Ryan

 Eastyn loved playing in his car seat.  lol

 We had breakfast with Santa yesterday at our church and I thought Jefrie was going to be the one that wouldn't sit on Santa's lap and Eastyn would have no problem with it.  lol  Boy was I wrong!!!!  Eastyn freaked out and clung to me when we came with in 10 feet of him.  Jefrie sat on him but wasnt too excited about it (as shown in the pic)  

Eastyn stuffing her face with a banana (she LOVES them)  with her scruffy daddy

 Grandma Cobbley has a lot of Christmas stuff so it definitely feels like Christmas which i am thankful for. (The cold snowy weather helps it feel like Christmas too but I dont like that part of it.)  There are lots of things that she lets the girls play with and right now these are Jefrie's favorite toys.

She has a beautiful 9 1/2 foot tree that is decorated with signs this year.

  (she does it different every year)

I think its the cutest idea for a tree.

 This is one of my favorites.  :-)
