So this past weekend we were playing Texas Hold Em, with our good friends when the kids started getting grumpy and came to sit on our laps. Well, since we were playing with fruit loops and corn pops, they decided they were going to play along with us. We gave them Old Maid cards to play with while they sat with us. It was quite an intense game and before we knew if everyone was going all in. So I asked Jaden if he wanted to go all in. He smiled and said "ya" then he picked up all his loot and went "all in" his mouth! Oh the Joys! He is at such a fun age and talking so much! I know every mother thinks their child is the cutest and nothing is wrong with that, because to me, mine is! He brings so many smiles into our home and fills it with laughter! Here are some fun pictures of the last month!

We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year and I apologize that it has taken this long to post about the festivities! It has been a crazy time here at the Clegg household but more about that another time.....
Anyways to start off his a picture of our family on Christmas...
We started off with a Birthday lunch on the afternoon of Christmas day for Shawn's brother Trent. (Sorry I forgot my camera at that one) We had a lot of fun and love the tradition, we do it every year. Then we headed to my parent's house for Christmas Even dinner, cousins, and presents from Nana and Papa!
Jaden got a great gift! A motorized 4 wheeler! :) I thought it would take him a bit to get the hang of it but boy was I wrong! by the end of the night he had his feet on the seat, hands on the steering wheel and was trying all sorts of unsafe activities! He's his father's son!
After that we headed home. Shawn's parent's spent the night at our house this year (they rotate every year) and despite some complications santa had putting together a present or two we had a great time! I finally gave in and let them wake Jaden up at about 9... He came out saw what Santa had brought him...
He saw his basketball hoop and slide first and after that it was like torture to get the kid to touch a wrapped present!
Jaden also got a toy laptop, a broom set ( i know that sounds girly but it's blue and now mom can sweep again ), a BYU blanket and hat, cars, and an ABC game for the fridge.
Grandma and Grandpa Clegg also scored with Jaden by getting him his very own chair he can sit it :) For the last few months he has been carrying a shoe box around into different rooms as his own little seat....
Christmas Dinner was at Shawn's parents and for the first time we did a nativity, it was a lot of fun and very cute!
We also had a cousin present exchange, Jaden got some great balls from his cousin McKell!
Here is Jaden showing his cool football to Uncle Trent! We got to spend so much great quality time with family and loved it we are so greatful for all that we have! We even started some new traditions like our "Around the world dinner and rockband after new years party" that's I'm sure will be a huge hit for years to come!
We have been married since March 2007 and are grateful for every day we have had together! Shawn is currently working for G2 Capital markets and loving it! He is learning a lot working with the best of the best in his industry. He loves soccer college football wakeboarding and snowboarding! Katie is a stay at home mommy who loves to sew, craft, and play with her kiddos! We love to spend time together in the great outdoors and feel so blessed to have our beautiful kids and eachother!
