Christmas 2011

I must apologize for not blogging lately it has been really busy and by the time the kids go to bed I just want to sit and watch TV.

Christmas was so much fun this year. Right after thanksgiving the kids were talking about Christmas and when it was going to come. The kids really learned alot about Christ and how this is the celebration of his birth. So on Christmas day after opening all their gifts Sean was like mom we cant forget it is Jesus birthday. I was like your right we need to always remember that. Man our kids keep us focused on what is right.We spent Christmas up at Greg's parents house and the kids loved sharing it with their cousin Hailey and they were all so cute together. Kaylee was trying to figure out how to roll all over or army crawl to eat all the paper, she loves paper. We got to watch Greg play a game and have a really hard time finding his clues but finally finished the game to find out his parents got him a huge tool shelves. Greg's dad put on a look and find game where his dad read a book and it gave pictures of where to go look of treasure. It was so cute to watch, Brianna did very well this year and found almost half of them. The next day for my birthday all the kids, Greg, and his parents took me bowling and out to sushi it was so great. Sean is an excellent bowler and bri is cute cause she's so little but really wants to be good like her brother. Kaylee was happy just watching.

Sorry I cant figure out how to move pictures tonight but the pictures on the top are of Brianna and Sean's school performances. They are so cute and did so well. Bri was Mary in the story of baby Jesus being born. She quietly walked out with a baby under her dress holding it very nicely and then brought the baby out at the right moment. It was so cute and she was so proud. Also the boy Caden that was Joseph Bri says is her boyfriend and that she loves him. Young love so cute. Sean was Satan clause and he say three different Christmas songs. His favorite was jingle bell rocks and he was so cute practicing it everyday. He did so well and say really loud. Kaylee was bouncing around so excited at both performances.

More Halloween pictures

Happy Halloween 2011

I cant believe it is already Halloween time it feels like it was just summer. They may also be because its still so warm here. So for Halloween we made it an all weekend event. Friday night we went Sean's school carnival which they had fun doing different games. Bri was playing ring toss and got a ring on a soda the first try. Sad that she could not drink the soda it was loaded with sugar and caffeine. After the school carnival we went to our ward trunk or treat and the kids ran around with their friends and loved trick or treating to the cars. Bri even won for the best pumpkin design she of course had a carve a tinker bell design. Greg's parents were great and came down for the weekend and helped out and had a blast with the kids. So Saturday we took the kids to a children's museum which was awesome because one of the exhibits was to paint on the walls of this little house. Then to finish it off Monday at school Sean's teacher dropped pumpkins from the roof into water to see if they sink or float. Sean loved that. Monday night they went trick or treating to the friends neighborhood and ours and loved it. Last but not least the awesome switch witch came and exchanged the candy for a gift. So of course they are ready for Halloween to start again. Kaylee was so cute she just hung out. We dressed her as a pumpkin cause's she's so little and cute. The kids were so cute as Harry Potter and Ariel.

Kaylee is cooing and babbling and laughing

Kaylee is already six months which seems crazy cause I feel like we just had her. So even though she's six months she's still really small maybe nine pounds and she acts like a four month old baby. So couple weeks ago she really took off with babbling and cooing and laughing. She takes so coaxing but so cute when she does. Sean and Bri love to try and make her laugh or talk. Here's this darling movie of her trying to talk to me

Sean 1st day of Kindergarten

I cant believe Sean is so old, he started kindergarten. Its offical I have a kid in kindergarten and goes to school everyday. Its weird having him gone everyday. The first day me and Greg were able to go and walk him in. He was so excited. He sat at his table and said "ok see you later" and waved bye. Then everyday after that he's like you don't have to walk me in mom just drop me off. I wanted to cry, he doesn't need his mom anymore. Of course his favorite part of school is recess. His teacher is Mr Markwell and seems to like him he doesn't tell us much information. So far school has gone much better than I thought due to big classes and not much money going into our schools.

Kaylee 5 Months

Man time flies. Sorry I have not blogged forever it has just been crazy. Hopefully later I can blog about our trip to Idaho. Here are some really of Kaylee at 5 months. I cant believe she's getting so big. This last week she started to smile laugh it is so cute. She laughs the most while she sleeps she must have some great dreams. Bri and Sean are loving her and do so great with her. Sean is my really good helper.

Idaho Trip 2011

So the end of July me and kids drove to Las Vegas and then flew home to Idaho for Grandma Verla's 80th birthday and we had so much fun. The kids loved the farm and loved playing with their cousins Kyler, Kambrea, Damon, Landon, Steven Micheal, and Haley. Bri also loved the little neighbor girl Ali. Everyday we would ride the four wheeler or race sticks down the ditch or ride lamas. Sean even got to try out my dad's new little motorcycle. We had such a a blast.
