Bowling Birthday

We had a Big Party for A last Saturday at the Payson Bowling Alley. We all had a lot of fun. After we bowled for a bit we had Cake and Ice Cream. A wanted to pull all the candles out and lick the frosting off, as he was doing that I noticed him chewing something. He was not only getting the frosting off the Candles but also some of the wax. It was pretty funny. He is such a goofball. I can't believe that he is 3 already. Man they grow up fast. We love you bud!

My Crazy Cowboy!!

He is so allergic to this horse and he loves it so much. He always wants to help Grandpa do his chores and then comes in the house a sneezing, allergy mess. So after we were done with the horse ride we had to strip him down, clean him up and medicate. Then he wanted to eat his lunch looking out the window watching Clyde running around being open and free. What a funny kid. He will be 3 in a week. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. He loves his family so much. Everyone is a possession to him. My Sean, My Mom, My brother. He runs like a mad man all day and then at 7:30 begs to be put to bed. If there is a shower going on anywhere in the house he will come running, leaving a trail of clothes behind him.

He has made mine and Sean's heart stop many of times. He is completely fearless and I estimate he has about 10,000 angels surrounding him and protecting him at all times. The angels get pretty beat up sometimes with the stunts that he pulls. He loves to help work, bake and cook. He is a tough little fighter with a soft sweet side. He can melt my heart in a second. We love you and have enjoyed the last 2 years. Can't wait to see what adventures year 3 will bring.

I'm a CowBoy!!!

We went over to Payson today and had a little family day with Jess, Kyli, Grandma and Grandpa. We went to the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks and the kids loved it. It was A first movie experience. He loved it. He is such his father's child. He could hardly contain himself when they would start singing. . . He had to start grooving! It was hilarious. By the time we got out of the movie he had worked up a sweat and had rosy cheeks. It was pretty funny. Then after the movie we went and got Ice Cream then back over to Grandpa's house. The boys love spending time with the Grandpa. He let the boys ride Clyde his horse. They had a blast; well A did a lot more than T. When we put the boys together for one turn T was holding the rope with A in front of him. He dropped the rope and spooked the horse a little and it jumped and off come the two boys. Grandpa was right there to grab them so they didn't even fall but that was still too much excitement for T. He was done after that and A wanted to jump right back on. Funny how my boys are such different little personalities. We made T get back on and ride before we all went back inside, since it was a frigid 35 degrees outside....brr. We ended the day with pizza and both the boys crashed in the car before I even got on the freeway. Thank you family for the great day. We love you.

Cabin

Here are more pictures of the Cabin. The boys played with all the old toys up there that we used to play with when we were little. It was a good memory. Aren't all my boys so cute on the snowmobiles on bundled up? I'm lucky to have such handsome devils. Then last but not least the water was turned off for the winter up at the Cabin. So we had to use the good old outhouse. We got a nice picture of Jen preparing to make her trek out into the cold potty at night. Funny times.

Cabin for New Year's

We decided to head up to the Cabin for New Year's. Man it was a TON of fun. There was a couple feet of snow up there. So we had to hike in. Sean pulled the first load of our stuff in and made a fire to start warming up the cabin for us. What a amazing man I married; he pulled the kids and all our stuff into the cabin on a sled. My only job was to hike into the cabin safe and slow. I forgot how much I love the cabin. It was awesome. I wasn't a very good packer this trip. I forgot everything. Our buddies the Lee's came up the first night and stayed. They are probably the best packers in the UNIVERSE. They remembered most of what I forgot. We love them. They are alot of fun to be with and we had a great time with them. They were only able to stay one night though. Then the next night Ian and Wyndee and their kids came up for a couple nights. We don't get to hang out with them as much as we would like so it was nice of them to come up. All the big kids slept upstairs and they had a lot of fun together. I love that my kids love their cousins so much. I didn't do very good on the picture taking. We had a wonderful time playing games, had a little firework show, went sledding, ate good food, had nice snowy walks and just hanging out. The weekend ended to quickly, nobody wanted to leave. I can't wait for the next trip up there.

My Little Helpers

After we got like 1 foot of snow I tried to take on the daunting task of shoveling my drive way. I just took it one square at a time. But about half way I was spent. That is a activity, if I was far enough along, that will put you into labor quick. But just as I was giving up on the job. My cute boys dressed up in coats and came to my resuce with their little red shovels. They didn't understand that they were suppose to shovel the snow off the drive instead of put it on the cleaned off areas. Also I think that their plan B was to just eat the snow all gone. Funny boys. I still gave up and just took pictures of the boys and finished the project over the next couple days.

Christmas

I think he is Happy!

We had a wonderful Christmas with a TON of parties with friends and family. It was nice to be home with the family. I love them so much. The kids were so fun and exciting this year. Such treasured memories. A kept opening gifts whether they were his or not. He would open them so fast I had to call a couple time outs so that we could collect ourselves and actually see what was given. On Christmas Morning we were all gathered around the kitchen table at my mom's house eating our traditional crape breakfast. A decided he was done so I let him down out of his chair and as the rest of the family was still sitting around talking in the back of my mind I keep hearing this ripping sound. He was under my mom's tree opening gifts. All by Himself! It was pretty funny because he was so happy for ALL the presents. He is such a helper!?! I opened a gift and it was clothing in a white box and before I even opened the box to see what was inside. He said,"Look Mom! That is SO AWESOME! You got a white box!"

T had some good quality time with Sean on Christmas. We got him a .22 for Christmas with a little scope on it and my dad, Sean and T all went out shooting. After they sighted the gun in he didn't miss a thing. He had so much fun, it was pretty dang cute.
