Christmas

So.. this is going to sound retarded but, I didn't take any pictures of Christmas morning! It was kinda crazy, we got it all on video but no reg pictures. This picture was actually from earlier in the month and I just thought it was funny. Kids and their snow boots!

All the grandsons on Christmas Eve

The Grandaughters

The 3 trouble makers!

Auni's face looks so funny in this one! But Deegan sure does look handsome!

bleh..

Well I haven't posted in a while because honestly I just haven't felt like it :) so here are some things we've done lately. This was our family home evening project last Monday. Deegan was obsessed, he kept wanting to put his little plastice reindeer on the roof.

Just a picture of the kids.

Deegan (for you Lor)

I just have to share my son's prayer from the other night. He had told Clint to go out so he could say them and of course Clint hid so he could hear him. It went about like this...

"Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. And Santa Claus, bring me a yellow boat. With a shark. An a thing to hold the shark. A round thing, not a squishy thing. And Jesus, you say your prayers like a big boy. Goodnight Heavenly Father."

How cute are kids!!! We did have to tell him that we don't pray to Santa :) and that we would write him a letter.

HaLlOwEeNn.. OoOoOo!

Here they are in their costumes! I forgot to take a pic at the first of the night, so this is the end and they don't look as good as they did earlier.

He looks like a little puppy right here :)
Pumpkins!
Yep.. Deeg still hates it!

Auni was good to go!

Gunner and his cousin Cambree.

Cheese!

Do You Ever Think...

What the (input the word of your choice) was I thinking!!!??? They look all cute and non-terroristlike here right?

But believe it or not these two seriously know how to push my buttons! Some might say serves you right for having 3 kids so close together. But...

If I'm being honest, it's having this one that calms me down. Right about the time I feel like I'm going to lose my mind, this little innocent face makes me smile. And I wouldn't do things any different if I could :) I love my kids more than anything, Really, But sometimes I want to go hide in the closet!

Some Things We've Done Lately

We went to St George for Fall Break and had one last little hoorah in the sun. Where's Auni? :)

She loved swimming around by herself
Deeg was doing all sort of tricks into the pool. This was his dive :)

Then that Saturday was the opener for the Deer Hunt and this week we went with the Caldwells to their cabin and the boys got to go with hunting with their Dads. And yes.. We do wonder about Clint sometimes.

Look at these 2 little studs :)

Field Trip # 2 Vineyard Garden's Pumpkin Land

Monday Deeg had another field trip. They went to the Vineyard Garden's Pumpkin Land. They had a corn maze, playground, light display, animals, and of course a pumpkin patch.

(Jexton, Deegan,and Wyatt)

Auni in her Halloween attire :)

At the end of their field trip. Deeg was bawling about pulling wanting to pull a wagon with his pumpkin in it. They did get pumpkins but I didn't get a picture of them with them.. whoops :)

Silver Lining, lemons/ lemonade, etc, etc

So we all know that there are TONS of nasty things going around right now! And some definitely worse than others. Last week I happened to be so lucky as to get the stomach flu. I will definitely NOT go into detail, but seeing as it was the first time in 6 years that I have thrown up it was most definitely not my best night. But... Here is my Silver Lining, that horrific little 24 hours of misery kicked off the last of my baby weight! So after almost 9 months I'm finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight! Yay! (this is a big deal for me so I had to share)

Deeg's first Field Trip & Pumpkin Harvest 09

Deegan's preschool class had their first field trip yesterday. They went to the Animal Barn at Thanksgiving Point. Lucky little Auni got to go too :)

We decided this morning that it was time to go get the pumpkins, it was way last minute so don't mind how awesome we are dressed. And aren't sunglasses great when you have no make up on?

(me, jenica, mom)

Us with the loot

What a Happy Helper!

He made sure all the Pumpkins and dirt tasted ok before we took them home :)

What We've Got Going On

Deeg has started preschool and is loving it :) I feel like he's big for his class because most of them are 3 and he is 4 but he won't start school until he's 6 because of his birthday.
Yummy Halloween Oreos!

This little girl is potty training and doing really well. It's SO true what they say about girls being easier than boys!

And this crazy little man has been crawling since about 6 months ish, and in the last 3 weeks has decided he needs to stand up to everything! He is still a total sweetheart :) just all over the place at the same time.

Happy 30th Clint

Happy Birthday Clint! We love you more than you know! Not everyone can pull off the "Fish Hat" but I think he did pretty well :) Ha Ha

Deegan's 4

Happy Birthday Deeg!

His birthday was yesterday, he loves tractors so that was kind of the theme for his big day :)

Go Utes! Thanks Hafen's :)

"The Tractor Cake"

It was time consuming but it turned out cute, despite children trying to stick their fingers in it all day! It was a miracle it made it to the party. Thanks for letting me borrow your frosting tips Kendra!
