Christmas 2009

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year! We have truely been blessed this year and want to THANK all our family and friends for such a wonderful christmas. THANK YOU! My kids were very spoiled this year and it was so much fun to watch the excitment on their face and how excited they were to show Brailee all about opening presents she loved the paper more than the gifts but mom appreciated all of it. Thank you once again I LOVE all of you!

christmas tree

Mr Santa Caluse

My kids love CHRISTMAS, they wanted to put the tree up the other day but wouldnt quit arguing so I told them no we were not doing it after we had already got started so i only had the top on, wel i left the room and when a while later Brayden came in and said it was done. They had put it together all on their own! I was shocked. So I put the lights on and they did the rest so we can truely say they put it up on their own, they are great kids!

Not so sure about these musical christmas figures!

My wonderful kids taking care of Brailee when she was sick.

kitchen

Ok here it is..family and friends have been after me to post pictures
of my latest project and this is it. I've sanded, painted, and sanded my kitchen

cabinets and its taken longer than I thought and being a older house it has a million

drawers, it was harder than I thought it would be but it's done and im happy and Robert

actually LIKES IT.

Sunday night

(Their baby snowmen)

The kids came home tonight and it was snowing and they

rushed outside to make a snowman, you would of thought

it was christmas or something!

Brayden's little snowman

Brecken's snowman

Disney On Ice

We had a girls night out and went to Disney on Ice,

it was so much fun even Brailee enjoyed it. It was

probable the best show ive ever been to, it was a lot

of fun.

Brailee's Blessing Dress

Figured we should get a picture of her in her dress before she out grew it.
She is such a happy smiley baby, she always has a smile on her face,
unless she is teething.

Brecken's scare

It's not even the weekend yet, and yet Brecken has to continue to make life stressfull for me.

She was outside playing with Brayden and their friends when I guess she decided, after

many times of me telling her not to put stuff around her neck, she put her jump rope around

her neck and then she fell down the slide, needless to say I was pretty shaken up over it, she is so lucky that she is ok. We've have and many long talks throughout the evening and im sure she totally understand by now the danger, I thank my heavenly father that she is ok, she is pretty sore and her neck hurts, poor thing. Thank you Heavenly Father for letting my little girl be ok.

Brecken's Field Trip

For Brecken's field trip they went to the tree house museum in Ogden. The kids had

so much fun they were able to play instruments,
Brecken got to sit on a pony, (she loves ponies).

She even was choosen to participate in a play "The Three little Pigs" she

was called the silly pig. I didn't think she would do it but she suprised me

and sure enough she repeated and said what she was told to do, she was so cute.

They made crafts. (princess wands)

They even watched a story (play) which some of the class

members got to dress up. We had a great time, im glad I

got to go last year I was pregnant and misserable so and she

broke her arm so we didnt get to go on her field trip.

Golden Spike

Grandpa Todd and I took the kids out to Golden Spike last week

when they were out of school.
They had the trains put away for the winter but we were still able
to go to the garage and see them.

Overall I still think the kids enjoyed themselves.

Halloween Scout Dinner

Brayden suprised us tonight when he came home from cub scouts with

a special dinner they prepared for the family. It was mummies and mac and cheese

and some ghostly cookies, it was not bad at all, sure made mom's night a little

easier. Thank you Brayden for dinner tonight!! And thank you scout leaders!!

Now I told Brayden he can start taking turns to cook dinner. He didn't like that idea.

pumkins

Last night we carved pumkins for family night while Brailee patiently watch

Brayden do his.
