CHRISTMAS 2009....

We had another great christmas this year!! The boys did not go without anything they pretty much got everything they wanted and more!! Santa did hook them up with a new little puppy,she is a shit-zu and her name is Vixen they have really enjoyed her and have been taking really good care of her:)

GRANDPA GARY....

This month has been quite interesting but at the same time the most humbling time for me. On December 9,2009 we lost our grandpa but up until the day he passed we spent over 5 days in the hospital just watching him lay there and never wake up. I have always believed there is reason people wait before they pass and now looking back I totally believe it was for our sake as a family to be reminded what's important in life and who are important in life. Over the years we all have kind of gone our own ways and became very busy with our selves and our own lives and it was so nice to be cooped up in a hospital waiting room to where we even had to snuggle and actually get to know each other again and talk about old times and about things we were going to miss about our grandpa. If any of you knew my grandpa he was a funny man,he wasn't really the grandpa that you would jump on his lap when you saw him but you just knew he loved you with his chuckle:) On the last day Brock gave him an awesome blessing and later that night as we all where in his room he passed,it was such a spiritual amazing thing I know that's a wierd thing to say but to feel the spirit that much and all be together as a family was something I will never forget!!

BREAKFAST WITH SANTA 2009....

This is such a fun thing to do we have gone I think 3 times now and I just love it!! They have a huge breakfast,cookie decorating,painting faces,singers,a drawing,and the kids get to fill up a candy bag:)

SETTING UP CHRISTMAS WITH THE ELVES...

So this is what the boys came up with when we were decorating for christmas!! They are so entertaining 24/7 they make me laugh:) We also started a new little tradition instead of making real messy gingerbread houses I found a way to make fake ones out of paper and the best part is we can keep them and put them up every year!! Looks like we are off to a great holiday year,how could you not when you have these boys around,right??

SNOW...SNOW...SNOW

Yippie we have snow!! Yesterday the boys could'nt even wait to go out and play in our new white powdery friend:) I love,love the looks of snow I just hate how cold it is and driving in it:)

HALLOWEEN 2009...

I love halloween,well only parts of it I hate haunted houses!! The older Tyce gets he likes the scary costumes but each year I love to see what he comes up with and so far he does very well. This year he was an Evil Court Jester and Jex finally decided on Mickey Mouse and Crew decided on a Lobster I personally thought they looked awesome as usual:) A few nights before the big night My Mom and I took the boys out to a pumpkin patch and played and walked through a corn maze with NOTHING inside of it but the boys loved it they also had a big slide they went down 100 times even Crew went once with Tyce. This year was Andy's holiday but I also joined them and it was very fun! He got the boys this old golf cart and strung it with orange lights to make it halloween like,everyone had a comment about it,it was very convient I just got to sit and ride and watch the boys enjoy themselves. Jex and Crew did not last very long but Tyce on the other hand really enjoyed himself he went on and on and on!!

OUR WYOMING GETAWAY...

One weekend this summer I just decided on a friday night that the boys and I needed to get away,and get away quickly so I called up my friend in Wyoming and asked if it worked for her if we could stay at her house and once she said OK we were gone. I pretty much threw everything and anything in the house and off we went just me and my 3 boys,I know i'm nuts but seriously it was soooo relaxing and sooo what we needed even just the drive was awesome it is so dang pretty their I love it. We reached her house at about midnight that night her daughter and her friend met us half way so we were safe and the boys seriously could have not been any better I think they enjoyed it as much as I did. Me and Tyce talked the whole way about life and danced to the music he is such a fun boy to be around and Jex and Crew just chilled not one kid cried,yelled or even hit each other!! The next morning we headed to Jackson Hole to thier indoor pool to swim and have some lunch,we got already and jumped in the pool and not 5 minutes later were kicked out because some child went potty in the pool,I hate that it's soo gross so we asked for our money back and left:) On sunday we went to their church with them I love the church up their it is so laid back and cute the primary room is upstairs and they have little old wooden benches they sit on. After church we went to this park and played and had a picnic and walked along this river. I enjoyed every minute of it and can't wait to go back:)
