The Tooth Fairy

Carson has been loosing his baby teeth finally and waiting for the tooth fairy to come. He has lost more now than in the pictures...I think we are up to five now.

What a mess!

Carson had his little friend Van over one day and they found a big box that Elise's new dresser had come in full of styrofoam and just had a blast playing in it. They ran through the house too and it was really hard to clean up, but they sure had fun!

Carson plays basketball

Carson played basketball at the beginning of this year. He was really good at shooting! It was really fun to watch his games...all of these little boys who don't know what they are doing, but trying really hard anyway!=)

Christmas morning

On Christmas day we went to Ryan's parents house and did a nativity with all of the little kids. It was so cute!

Hallie and Mikayla sure had a fun first Christmas! When we first woke up they just wanted to eat, so we put them in thier high chairs and they watched the rest of us. When they were done eating we helped them open their presents. They looked at me a little funny when I ripped open the wrapping paper, like mom- your- not -supposed- to -do -that! They sure knew what to do with the toys though and played and played!

Laura and the twins on Christmas morning. You can't really tell, but all the girls have matching jama bottoms and the boys match too.

After all of the presents are handed out and the chaos settles down Ryan sits and opens his presents.

Elise had the biggest present of us all! A new bed! She just ran to it and started jumping!

Then the questions started of how did Santa get it in here?

Elise got some dress up too! It is one of her favorite things to play!

This picture was actually on the morning of Christmas Eve. All four of our kids were bundled up in this big blanket laughing and giggling together and we thought it was cute!

Polar Express

The day after Thanksgiving my mom surprised us with tickets to the thundermomuntain railroad polar express ride. We had such a blast!

Elise, Ryan , and Hallie on the train. We sat in the front by SANTA !

Mikaya, Laura and Carson on the train. When we first got on Carson was asking Santa questions along with some other little boys on the train. They sure had some cute ones!























Grandma Harker and Aunt Verla came with us too! It was nice having them there. There was a conflict concerning the Boise State Broncos for Grandpa and Uncle Dale. Ha,Ha!





David, Staci, and Dallin were there too along with Richard! It was so great to have everyone for thanksgiving and the train ride.






Carson and Elise finally getting to sit on Santa's lap and get that oh so special candycane! Staci, and Dallin looked so cute in this picture that I had to put it up!

Finally a picture with almost all of the Cleverleys together...how wonderful!

Carson had his 7th birthday at the end of november. I can't believe he is that old! He sure grew fast! He wanted a john deere birhtday...again. He sure knows what he likes and is planning for the future when he is going to buy his grandpa's farm. He says he is going to build a house and that his buddy Trayson is going to live next door and raise cows. They are so funny! He sure likes first grade now and is doing really well in school! We are so proud of him! Happy Birthday!

Quey's Maze

Camden came with Elise to her preschool and we went to the corn maze.

The kids all got to pick out a pumpkin.

There was a haystack mountain for the kids to climb. I had little Kindra with me and she wanted to climb up over and over. I had a workout.

Camden and Elise going through the haybail maze, the cornmaze was too huge to go through.

Camden and Elise playing in the corn seeds. Quey gave a class on seeds and he had corn in cow tanks just like a sandbox. It was sure fun for the kids.
