Jan 20:

Kevin walks in the room "Daddy, we need to talk" "why, are you doing drugs?" "no" "did you get someone pregnant?" "no" "are you smokin?" "yea, were smokin, and playin, and rollin".... uproar of laughter.. my husband and my 4 YEAR OLD.. at least we aren't afraid to talk about the hard topics....

its true, I confess: i gave my kids the option of pumpkin pie or apple pie for dinner tonight...

prefect night... my babes "dancing" around the family room to Christmas music, ok, so really they are spinning around in circles getting reall dizzy and falling down but whatever! :)

Nov 6

So Kevin's new thing is his brain, where is it, how big is it, what does it do, he just asked me if he could pull it out of his eyes... I don't know how to put it into 4 year old terms... that would not be good.

Kevin is watching Ice Age 3. He points at the sceen and says "look its Momma, just like you, when you were a Tyranosaurs Rex".. not only is he a dinosaur but apparently I was too!

Oct 14

so while I was in the garage cleaning up the kids last mess (too embarassing to post here) Kevin was in the house covering his little brother in pam cooking spray... yes you heard me right.. i can't even believe him.. where does this stuff come from?

Oct 14

kids, diaper rash cream, hair, may never come out...yeah for 4 year olds...

Oct 13

just found Cameron standing on the kitchen counter digging into my cabenet, the same cabinet that holds my kitchen knives on the tops shelf, I got lucky that the stuff on the bottom shelf was more interesting.. is it possible to glue stools to the floor, so the kids can't push them around?

Oct 8

are my kids the only ones who really don't want to eat anything for a few weeeks, an then go on an eating rampage and eat anything and everything they can get thier hands on?

Kevin just ate 7 pieces of gum and told me it was becuase he stomache was hungry...(this is why we don't keep gum around the house)

Sept 12

Looking forward to whatever comes out of Kevin's mouth tomorrow at his first Primary program! "what is your favorite part of being part of your family..." Kevin can fill the blank in a million different ways...most of them have to do with a red dinosaur... not exactly what the primary presidency was expecting....

Sept 2

as I walk out of the room after my workout I say to Tyler "tell me my butt looks three sizes smaller" he without hesiation says... I was thinking four.." I have him trained quite well!

Aug 31

Kevin is telling me about his first day of preschool, the girls yelled at him becuase he cut on their papers...and he has so much fun with the green fish and the yellow dinosaur... it must have been a busy day! He is so excited!

Aug 30

Cameron climbed out of his crib tonight... ya wanna know why?.. Tyler asked him to...crazy!

Kevin prayed for us "to be safe from dragons" tonight.... The dragon slayers can have a good night sleep tonight!

Aug 28

Kevin was horrible at his "getting to know your teacher" for preschool.. he is making me second guess even putting him in preschool...

Aug 24

Got out of bed this morning to find my children each reading a book, sitting on the couch... I love quiet moments!

Aug 13

I was so impressed that my kids cleaned up all the toys in the family room when I asked them to this morning, I assumed they were putting them where they go, silly me,.. I found where all the toys went when I went to put the kids down for nap, they put all the toys in the crib...!

why my kids find weird stuff funny i don't know... they are taking turns running around the house with their hamper upside down over their heads... giggling wildly the whole time!

July 1

serious tears people.. grandma and grandpa just took both my kids.. I don't don't know what to do!

June 11

Can't get Kevin to eat a carrot to save his life, but I just pulled one fresh out of the garden and gave it to him and he said "mmmmm, I love carrots!"

April 11

if only everyday could end with two dirty boys.. then a dirty bathtub.... to me that means a beautiful day for the boys to play outside and get as dirty as only boys can get!

Christmas Vacation

Our Christmas vacation was great, we got lots done and enjoyed time with family. We painted our bedroom, something that I thought would never get done, pics later, the paint job is growing on me... we put up a bunch of shelves, so my house is seeming more and more home-ee. We bought the rest of the stuff needed to make my head board, still haven't quite made it yet, but am planning too, bought a freezer for the garage, bought myself a shop vac, (to replace the one we lost in Oklahoma) which means my van is clean, and basically we spent way to much money on the stuff we have been waiting for! lol. Do you know how stressful spending money can be?

Basically, Christmas crept up on me and when it was time for the boys to open their pj's Christmas Eve, they were just coming out of the dryer... My decorations has just barely gotten unpacked and nothing had been rapped. We spent Christmas here, and then drove down to Utah to spend a few days with the Utah clan, and we were back before New Years, The boys got a train set from Santa and plenty of dinosaurs to keep them busy until their birthdays is September, we got a wii and wii fit, and my personal favorite, Jillian Micheals fitness ultimatum... that girl knows how to kick butt!

So all in all we had one great vacation, and have been enjoying some serious family time. I just can't get tired of having Tyler home more.. (of course there are moments that I see the look on his face that says "get me out of here!")

We even had one of my old friends Nicole from high school stop by with her adorable little family, she has three of the cutest little boys ever! I am bummed I forgot to take pictures but it was so fun to see them!

Oh, and here is family pic that we were going to send out with out Christmas letter..lol. (crazy hair and all)
