December at the Bret Gundersen Home

Eve turned 6 on the 11th. She had a fantastic (early) birthday with her grandma and grandpa.

Laura had her first solid foods.

Bret & Kathleen had a great time with Mindy & Josh on their double date to the Omniture Christmas party (the party itself was pretty boring but it's always fun to be with Mindy & Josh).

At Beckham's blessing, we captured on video one of the saddest moments of Cooper's young life...mom holding another baby. Now I maintain that had it been an ugly baby, Cooper would have been fine, but the amazing cuteness of Beckham overwhelmed his usual sensible nature and threw him into histeria. Enjoy.

Preparing for a brother

I got Cooper a $5 doll at Wal-Mart to help prepare him for having a baby in the house. He took to it really well. While at the store, before we bought it, he held it very gently the whole time. And on the way home I heard him giving the baby kisses. Let's hope this is a good sign of things to come (probably not since any time I hold another baby he points at it, shakes his head, and balls till I give it back) but I'm still hoping! Here's a couple pics of him enjoying his new baby. I love seeing this sweet side of him!

Holding hands, playing airplane, showing his cars, giving kisses.

New E-mail

I have a new e-mail address. Please update your address books. I promise I will not change it again for a long, long time...unless something super cool comes out and makes me want to change again.

Christmas at the Dahmers

20 strands of lights...who's got us beat?

The most amazing baby to hit the earth.

The Perfect Tree

Carmel apple cider, shoulder rides, candy canes, ugly Christmas sweaters, warm hats, cold weather, the perfect tree, Christmas lights, smell of pine, Christmas music, ornaments, "Cooper don't touch!", Christmas pj's, lights off....ahhhhh...It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

New Mexico & Lights

New Mexico


For Thanksgiving this year we headed down to New mexico with Caleb's fam for a couple days. It was fun, filling, and relaxing, as Thanksgiving should be. We then headed back to Utah to spend a couple days with Mom & Dad going to the Temple Square lights and Body World exhibit. We love spending time with family! (Sorry, no pictures of Body World were allowed but it was pretty cool! Thanks Mom & Dad!!)

Sing, sing, sing

Coop gets a little shy when he sees the camera but you can still see some of the little singer.

Ski day with Daddy

Coop & Daddy went skiing on Tuesday for the first time this season. I don't know who loved it more, Cooper or Daddy! He lasted about 1 1/2 hours while strapped onto Daddy's front and yelled "Woo-hoo" the whole way.


I seriously love his ski bibs!


It sure tired the little guy out!


He fell asleep mid-pretzel grab :-)

I think he likes it!

Thanks for the teepee Mom & Dad!

Introducing...

...EVE BARBARA. So, as we were trying to think of names for our last baby we realized we wanted to name one of our children after one of the most amazing, wonderful women we know. Around this time Eve told us she wanted a middle name. You should have seen her face light up when we suggested Eve Barbara. She thinks Barb is just as wonderful as we do. So...many months later we finally made our way to the court house and it's now legal. Eve is named after her Grandma. The above picture is of Eve at the court house and the one below is taken at the Nephi 4th if July fair.

one more!!!

For all of you baby lovers out there.
