The Amish Front Flip

Anyone who knows the Hatch boys knows about the crazy ideas they come up with. With all the snow we've had, they've had to use the tractor to plow out the place a few times. Jerob used the tractor to make a ramp and asked Adam to pull him with a horse with he snowboarded. They christened it the Amish Front Flip.

Sarah's Blessing

Here is sweet baby Sarah in her blessing dress.

We really filled up the chapel for Sarah's blessing! Adam's mom along with all his brothers and sisters with their kids (there are seven kids in his family) except is brother Carson were there plus my mom and dad and Andrew, Chad & Fam, and Nicole and fam. It was somewhere around 40 people!

Jordyn (Chad and Shawnna's little girl )loves climbing in cupboards. It didn't take her long to find mine!

Jordyn found this in the cupboard she was climbing and played Peek-a-Boo with it!

(Please excuse the picture orientation... I got a new camera and haven't completely figured everything out yet!!)

Christmas Morning

Porter got outfitted like a true cowboy. Note the boots and rifle. He also got a hat and a real rope. He will wear no other shoes and wants his "wope" everywhere he goes!
This pistol came with his stocking. He was so excited he didn't care that it was still in the box!

Paige loves to be a princess. I don't even bother to get her dressed first thing in the morning anymore. She also prefers to be called "Sleeping Beauty" over Paige.

Porter is starting his Jedi training early.

(Does anyone think Adam is living vicariously through his son? Just wondering...)

Christmas with the Oblanders

We celebrated with my fam the weekend before Christmas so we had a big dinner for "Faux Ho-Ho" and opened gifts. (A big thanks to Rachel for the term "Faux Ho-Ho... so creative!)

Here are all the Oblander grandkids in front of the Christmas tree at my mom and dad's house. (Note how severly outnumbered Porter is - poor kid!)

Porter is actually wearing three shirts in this picture because he had to put on the ones he got for Christmas!

Paige had a major meltdown when Uncle Chad didn't hand her the exact present she wanted first.
She recovered pretty quickly once she got into the swing of things!

I don't think Haleigh liked her dress-up, do you?

Random Christmas Pictures

Here is Paige holding Sarah in her super cute pink and brown stuff! (Thanks for Grandma Jo Bean for the clothes and Aunt Shawnna for making the headband!!)
Jingle Bell ornaments make the cutest earrings, don't you think?

Adam cut down mini Christmas trees for Paige and Porter to decorate in the hopes that they would leave the big tree alone. Here they are after decorating them. (It didn't really work by the way. I had a lot of ornaments brought to me - "Mom, this ornament fell off the tree!")

Facebook miracles!

I'm the first to admit that I'm a bit behind the times these days. I'm too busy taking care of kids all the time to be up on the latest stuff. My sister-in-law Crystal taught me how to use Facebook on Sunday and I've now found two dear long lost friends. I'm SO excited. It's really a post-Christmas miracle for me. Hooray for new technology!!!!!

Sarah's "First" Bath

So I forgot to take pictures of my Sarah's real first bath so I decided that I'd better take some pictures of another bath just so we'd have some sort of record. (Oh the poor neglected 3rd child!)
