Dress Up

Keylee decided to have some fun the other day and dress her little brothers up like little sisters! As you can see Waylon is just happy to be hanging out with his big sister and had the time of his life. We were all laughing out heads off.

Wesley is not so sure he wants his picture taken.

and finally keylee had to get a pic of the boys with her dolls. They sure have fun with their big sister.

Anniversary

Mike and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary on December 8th. It was also 12 years ago December 11th that we went on our first date. I can't believe how fast time has gone and how much I love my sweet heart still. He gave me a card that is cute that I would like to share;
What is Marriage?
Its vacuuming carpets and hammering nails.
Its saving a dollar by shopping at sales.
Its balancing checkbooks and paying off bills.
Its cleaning the windows and mopping up spills.
Its doing the laundry and matching up socks.
Its a washer that dies when the car needs new shocks.
Its two busy schedules, but one happy life,
With each moment you share as husband and wife!
Happy Anniversary!
I thought this card was right on. I feel like the luckiest woman alive to have such a hard working, kind, helpful, wonderful, honest, handsome husband. I love him and our children so much and can't imagine my life with out them.



Since our Anniversary is during such a busy time of the year, I usually just make a special dinner and we celebrate at home. Mike was working on the house and I was home with the Kids. Keylee helped me make a wedding cake with our Original cake topper. While I was looking for the cake topper in my cedar chest I found some pictures I hadn't seen in a while of when Mike and I were dating so keylee also helped me set those out. Mike and I had fun reminicing and Keylee had fun asking us about all the dates and dances we went to together. It was a fun night.

Time to get out the Christmas Stuff

So it is Thanksgiving weekend and me and Keylee have been busy putting up the christmas tree and getting the house ready for christmas. Keylee was in charge of decorating the tree and the house while I made turkey dinner so we could have leftovers for the weekend. I have to say she did a pretty good job since I was between the kitchen and helping babies most of the day. Keylee was sooo cute last night she told be about a million times "Mom, I just had the best day today"! It was fun to get the christmas stuff out and get into the spirit of the season. Today we finished things up by decorating a gingerbread house together. I bought a kit from Cost-co and I think it turned out pretty cute. So much easier to buy the house already put together with the candy and icing. I will be doing this activity again! What a fun weekend we've had!




















Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Kingston to Grandma Irva's where my dad grew up. We had a yummy dinner at the town hall. It was fun to see all the cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. As a kid Thanksgiving was and still is one of my favorite holidays. I have so many fun memories of Thanksgiving at grandma Irva's, getting stuffed with dinner, and hiking it off on the rocky hill behind her house or going for walks around the farm. I have so much to be grateful for this year. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband, children and extended family. I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween 2010

Halloween was lots of fun this year. Keylee has been obsessed with Twilight movies and so she decided to dress up as one of her favorite characters "Victoria". Keylee really got into character as she told me that she watched "New Moon" and pressed pause so she could go back to her closet and pick out items of clothing that would most match the character of "Victoria". A little colored hair spray , blood, and glitter spray helped her complete the rest of her look. Wesley and Waylon were baseball guys and stayed home with me to pass out candy while Mike took Keylee around to go trick or treating. Keylee came home with lots of candy and had a really fun time. For the Halloween menu I made vegetable cheese soup with pumpkin breadbowls, eye ball deviled eggs, blood punch, and ghost cups. The boys turned 5 months on the 31st. I can't believe how much they have grown and I feel like it is going by too fast. I hope everyone else had a Happy Halloween.













My 28th Birthday

This year for my birthday we went to a cute place that looks just like you stepped into Pirates of the Carribean for pizza dinner. After dinner we went swimming which was of course Keylee's favorite part of the night. We went home and had my favorite Ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Mike has been working a lot so it was nice to do something together as a family. The babies were really good as you can see the last picture Wesley slept the entire time. I had so much fun on my birthday and feel so luck to have a family to spend it with!

More pics of babes and family cont.

Keylee and Wesley
Waylon

This is my new rocker/recliner chair! It has been heaven to have for these two babies as you can see we all fit so nicely together. In this pic Waylon (on the Left asleep) was crying at the same time his brother was hungry and needed to be fed so I set Waylon by me on the chair and this is when he fell asleep (guess he just wanted to be by his mom). I was able to feed Wesley and make everyone happy! Few!






Two pigs in a blanket for sale. Any takers?


We have had so many family members come visit and it has been so nice to see everyone since we are kind of home bound right now. Here are some pics of everyone. Kami and Preston came to see these guys and tend while we went to the movie and I am mad I didn't get a picture of them, But Mike and I were so happy to have a night out together. Thanks Kami and Preston.

Keylee, My great little bottle washer!

Keylee having so much fun with her brothers. Since this photo Keylee has started school. She is so cute with the babies and misses them so much during the day. It is cute to see her interact with them when she gets home. How lucky I am to have such a wonderful family!
