On Super Bowl Sunday the kids went to
Tyler's parents house and we went out with friends, when we
got back Jeannine was holding a very pale sober Ava....
Come to find out Maya had pushed Ava off the
back of the couch and it had broke her arm.
They put it in a "soft" cast for a week or so and in that
time she had broke it even more so we had to have the specialist re adjust it!
That was AWFUL! Tyler and I held her down on my lap and she was kicking and screaming and crying and even thinking about it now kills me but the funny thing is is that she let out a great big FART and we all started laughing even her. She was fine as soon as they were done fixing her break but it did take Tyler and I a while to get it out of our minds. :(





I love this picture because from 3:00 on this is my day...Ava doing whatever random thing she likes (These days she's climbing in her Favorite tree or riding her bike) Maya on the counter wanting to be apart of the action, Drew complaining about all his homework and Ella doing hers willingly but being side tracked easily











Maya and her "boy"friend Easton Ott. They are the buds lately. She told me a few days ago that "when she grows up she will kiss him and marry him with babies".... They couldn't be anymore opposite, but hey isn't that what attracts?!













Ava got into Ella's makeup and decided to decorate their faces... nice that she only had one hand to do it with... ha ha ha ha

Drew and His Can of "Whoop A$$"

Oh ya Baby! This year was a totally different story! Drew got his game on and came out on top! Were not sure what is was, (maybe another year of maturity under his belt) but he was not afraid! He fought and fought till he took'em all down! A few times I was ready to run on the mat and stop it all but he turned it around and defeated his opponent! He says he's not wrestling this year, I wish he would I think it's a great sport to find your Own Strength and Teach you Self Discipline


If you know our wrestling history you would really appreciate Tylers face in this picture! I would say this was a vary Proud day for the Hafen's!!!!

Febreaury 2010...

The girls getting ready to perform their tumbling. This was Ava's first time so she was nervous. They all crack me up in this picture! I could look at it all day. I'm pretty sure Maya was more excited to watch them tumble than they were. She is so proud of her family, she just stands up tall and claps and claps for them.

We always invite my dad over for treats because my mom restricts him from eating any form of yummy Delicious sugar. I actually think this was his birthday so we were celebrating with a great big birthday card full of his favorites. Notice what is says from Drew.. . . Something to the fact that he is the Best biker in the whole world ha ha
When ever my mom decides to take a ten min "recharge" she comes over with her green tea and a visit. If you could really see the size of cup she drinks it in you would know why she always has so much energy... Actually I think its why she hardly ever, I mean ever gets sick. That stuff is golden!

January 2010

Drew loves to come snuggle up to the dogs, he thinks they need blankets and it just ticks me off cuz then I have to wash them over and over and over

For her Birthday cake she wanted a rainbow, unicorn with marshmellows cake.... well thats what she got ha ha. I really wish they had a cake decorating class I'm about ready to give up.

They loved to carry him around like a little baby all wrapped up I'm not sure Rudy loved it because to this day he still growls at the kids when they want to pick him up.

Mr. Hafen on Potty duty

I don't care what ya say that is pretty dang cute, wouldn't catch me doing it but I'm just saying.

The kids got Grandpa this book that asks him qustions about his life... as you can see he is a little stumped about it... how's that book coming anyway dad :)

For Ava's 5th Birthday we got her Rudy. A lady Tyler works with was selling them and when I saw this little fur ball I could not resist. We weren't sure how Tootsie would handle this but form the get go they have been the best of buds.

Christmas Morning 09

Grandpa Doug telling his version of The Night Before Christmas... I'm sure you can only imagine it was a little animated.

Tyler after His big Christmas Eve Feast. Sorry babe I had to.

Ella's piano recitle. She did so good! I was just the worst piano mom ever and would forget to practice so I let her stop playing ;( Maybe when she's older and can pay for some of her extra activities she can start up again. ha ha

I let Ella have a Christmas party with her friends... Crazy thats why she didn't get one this year.

Our friends Glen and Joani(He was Tyler's mission companion in the MTC and she is from Hatch) They came down on Christmas Eve for a little lunch. I was pretty nervous to cook for Her because she is a major body builder and even competes, but come to find out it was her off season and she ate what ever. It was Him that was so picky! Should of known, the man has not changed a bit. Love a Nilson's

We love you Grandma Cannon

These were some of the last pictures we had with Grandma Cannon. It was always fun to stop by and visit her, she loved having visitors to tell her stories to (more than once we heard the same stories or what the neighbors were up to ha ha ).For some reason she thought our kids were so well behaved. I wished we thought they were.
