This year Uncle Clause payed a visit to our annual Christmas Eve party. It was hilarious!!! He tried to suprise the kids but he couldn't fool anyone especially when his beard started to fall off but the kids all loved it anyway.
Kaylee's favorite present and they even have matching jammies!
The boys favorite presents!!
Out of all the presents she loved this pretend purse and lipstick.
This was actually the day before but the kids built quit a fort.
We took our annual trip to see the lights at Temple Square. This sure is becoming one of my kids favorite traditions.
Nobody would stay still long enough to get a good picture. Oh well.
This hotel has the funnest swimming pool and it even has a water slide.
This little rascal turned 9 months. she loves animals, daddy and playing peek a boo. Unfortunately she has had 4 ear infections in the past two months. So she will be getting tubes in Jan. She weighed 16.1 lbs at her 9 month check and was in the 8 percentile but I'm sure we'll catch up. Mine don't stay little for too long. She is an expert crawler now and pulls herself up to standing. It's hard to believe she will be walking soon.
C.J. had his first wrestling match. Who knew my quiet little C.J. would be such a great wrestler. He won both his matches 19-1 and 20 -2. But whether he wins more or looses some the look of determination on his face was priceless. We are so proud of him.
Jesus and I have always loved old things. He grew up on a farm in the country. So anything old reminds him of when he was little. My dad always collected antiques. We also went on alot of trips to Nebraska where my dad was from. On the way stopping at pioneer villages, Old buildings and cemeteries.I always loved wondering what things looked like when they were new and who used them. Jesus has been watching the show American Pickers lately. He brought me home this old window one day. So I put it in my family room.
I also have been wanting to refinish my bathroom cabinets but couldn't afford all new ones. This was quit the project. I love to paint but am defiantly not a professional. I get paint everywhere then get all stressed out about it. Thank goodness my husband was home sick to calm me down. Let's just say there where some tears shed in this project. Also some touch ups to be made but all in all I like the way it turned out. And plan on doing it in my master bath but black.
We finally have enough hair for a ponytail. Our very first ponytail!!!! So cute!
This is our attempt to make a fun Halloween craft. It didn't turn out quit like I expected but the kids had fun eating them and making them.
7 months old and sitting!!!! (well almost she turns tomorrow) She has been by far my most easy going baby yet. Lets just hope she keeps it up!!!
Ready for 3rd grade
I think as a mom this may be my favorite time of year. I love my kids but I think they need time to learn, play and grow just as much as I need a little time to relax and get some things done. Heres for another school year. And in two weeks I get to send another one. He will be in two preschools this year. I get to have Mon.- Thurs. afternoons to train the baby to take naps in her crib and I may even get a nap of my own.
Carson wanted a pictures too. Sorry it's sideways. All my other kids will let me pick there clothes and dress them except this one. Everyday it's a fight. Here's what he came up with today. Lime green flip flops, brown shorts and a red and blue shirt. Not the worst thing I've ever seen but I am very matchy. It takes everything in me to let him pick his own clothes and wear them around.
