In a rut...

Dear Spring,

Please come soon, before I go crazy. I need warm weather walks, bbq's, longer days, and more time to play outside. Thanks.

Happy Birthday Kadence!

On Wednesday, February 10th my baby girl turned four. Wow!! I cannot believe she is already four, one more year of preschool and then she is off to elementary school, so crazy! That girl got to celebrate her birthday for like 4 days, spoiled brat.

On Saturday my mom came and took her shopping for her birthday and then let her and Connor have a sleep over. On Tuesday Debbie took her for ice cream and shopping and then tuesday night she helped me make cupcakes to take to preschool and even put pretty heart toothpicks in each one. Wednesday we went to school and she is such a little diva. A little boy in my class was yelling, so Kadee turned to him, put her hands on her hips and said,"Stop yelling, you are hurting the birthday girls ears!!" It was hilarious.


She then went to dance and handed out delicious homemade suckers that I did not make. That night she wanted homemade pizza, so I ordered pizza and breadsticks from Pizza Hut. Grandma Debbie, Taylor, and Zac came over and watched her open presents. Her favorite present of the night was her new CD Player with Hannah Montana stickers all over it.


Finally Friday she had a friend birthday party. She had 10 friends over and it was such a blast. They played pin the mic on Hannah Montana, made Rock Star charm bracelets, put on Make-up, had cupcakes and ice cream, and her cousin Kaitlyn taught all the girls an official Hannah dance. Kadee says her favorite part was "making bracelets" but I think it was making a mess with all her friends. She got some awesome gifts and has had so much fun opening them and playing with them all.





Happy Birthday Kadee! We love you so much and are so glad you are in our family!

I'm Baaaaack!!!!

My computer got a NASTY virus and has been out of commission for a month. I have been so lost! I haven't been able to read blogs, facebook, or check my account balances, it has been totally miserable! We finally got it back and I am so excited to be blogging again.

January was a busy month. Kadee went to Sunbeams for the first time. She LOVES it, as long as Candee is there. She won't stay unless she see's Candee, so Candee can never miss primary without my permission, lol.




Connor stared Junior Jazz Basketball and is such a stud. He is really actually pretty good, and his last game he made 4 shots. Rory is his coach, and everytime Connor makes a shot he looks for me, I think it is adorable!



My neice Brileigh got baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She looked so beautiful and we are so proud of her. I got to say the opening prayer at her baptism and at Aniston's, so I told Elise it is going to be payback time when Connor gets baptized.


I am the meanest mom EVER and made Rory and the kids get rid of Muffy. I just couldn't do it, my morning sickness was so bad that everytime I would clean up puppy poop or pee, I would vomit or come very close to vomiting. The kids miss her sometimes, but I don't miss her at all! The morning sickness is a lot better by the way, and I am finally out of my first trimester- yay! Only 6 more months to go!!!

Announcement...

Baby #3 will join our family August 2010!!

One Last Present...

So after Christmas my AmAzInG husband decided to take the kids and I on a trip (shrip as Kadee calls it). Originally we were going to go to Glenwood, but decided the kids would have just as much fun staying a little closer to home. We went to Salt Lake and stayed at the Holiday Inn with the Indoor water park. All I can say is the kids loved it! We were going to take them on a few adventures, but the weather was so bad we stayed close to the hotel and found lots to do. We went to Alvin and the Chipmunks and next to the theatre there was an indoor fun center. The kids had so much fun and they were having a new year's special so it was super cheap! Kadee's favorite ride was the bumper cars. There was a big mirror on one wall, so she would drive her car in that direction and sit and stare at herself. Connor loved miniature golf and the arcade. Other than that I think all we did was swim and eat! The kids had so much fun and I enjoyed our family time. Thank you Rory for a wonderful family memory.












Yesterday after we came home we went and picked up this:












I have to say I was SO against it, but the kids are so excited. They LOVE her and named her Muffy. She actually fits in Kadee's play purse. She is so adorable and I am excited to have her in our family.



Happy New Year! Hope 2010 is the best year ever!

Merry Christmas To All!!!

We had a fabulous Christmas this year. Between all the fun parties, visiting Santa, and opening presents this was one of the best Christmases yet! On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma Debbie's house for a delicious dinner, to hear the Christmas story, and to open presents. I was so impressed with my nephew Logan. He knew so much of the Christmas story and was excited to share it with us. Christmas morning we got up super early and opened presents. That Santa is a smart guy. He brought the kids everything they wanted and more. After opening presents we headed to Nana Kelli's for our annual Christmas breakfast. As always it was delicious! My kids were spoiled some more and then it was off to home. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and visiting with family. Saturday we had the Curtis family over for dinner, visiting, and a super fun game called the Name Game. It was so nice to see everyone and all the cute babies my cousins have! It was such a great Christmas we had lots of family, lots of friends, and lots of fun. Hope your Christmas was just as wonderful and we hope you have a great New Year!















Kadee and I in our adorable matching aprons. Kadee is so excited to help mommy cook. She even wore her apron to Nana's so she could help her.





The Curtis grandkids. There are 10 grandkids and 7 great grandkids. Oh ya, and a couple spouses, LOL


Here's to an amazing 2010!

Family Pics 09

My mom took pictures for us on Thanksgiving day and they turned out great. I think next year we will plan a little bit better and take them when the leaves are changing colors. My kids love to have their pictures taken and Kadee is constantly posing. I think she learned that from her dance class. :) She rarely just smiles in a picture, and therefore in all of her pictures she is making some sort of goofy face. We love it though and wouldn't have it any other way. Connor on the other hand, wants to do exactly what his dad is doing. If his dad is smiling, he is going to smile. I swear if I let him he would build a shrine to his dad in his bedroom. Speaking of bedrooms, he now wants a Transformers room. Lucky for me, Santa is getting him a Transformers bedspread for Christmas. I want to deck out his room with wall stickers and such... I think I will save that project for the new year.

Anyway, here are a few of our pictures...enjoy!



Take note of Kadee's face, she is such a ham!


The picture in the middle is the actual Christmas card I sent out, I didn't notice Kadee's finger until after all the cards had been mailed... oops!
