HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wow! I can't believe that 2008 is over! Here we begin 2009 and one of the things that I would like to do this year is update my blog more. (We'll see if it actually happens) We got a new computer armoire and have moved our computer upstairs so I'm sure I'll use it more!

Anyway, December was such a busy month so I put one long post and lots of pictures of some of the highlights. Enjoy!!

Happy B-Day Kaycee!!!

Our little girl turned 7 years old this month. I can't believe how time flies. She is such a smart girl and is doing so well in school. She even likes to read now and is doing so well with it.

This year for her birthday party, she decided to have it at Dinosaur park in Ogden. We were a little worried wondering if the weather was going to cooperate but it ended up being such a nice day and I think the temperature was in the high 40's.

Kaycee and her friend Kelsey being goofy!!

For her B-day present, her grandma Tammy took her to do the I-Fly for the second time. She was a little more scared this time but loved it. The guy even took her up high with him and they flew together but of course I wasn't ready with my camera. I was able to get some pics!!

After flying we took Kaycee to out to eat!

Of course they sang to her!

Christmas Fun!!

This year we went and rode the Polar Express in Heber. The kids had so much fun although it was before there was any snow so it was a little weird looking at the north pole in sage brush but the kids didn't care.

Santa was at the Dinosaur park when we went for Kaycee's B-day. Each kid got to sit on his lap. That is one thing about having December B-day's. It seems like we can incorporate Santa somehow!

Kaycee and Santa!

Cam and Santa!

Cam and his favorite new PJ's (of course, their Star Wars)

This is the face I get about 90% of the time I try to take a picture of Cameron.

I really slacked this year taking pictures of them opening their presents. I hope we got some video but I'm not sure we took that either.. Both got what they were asking for, Kaycee got her easy bake oven and cupcake maker..Cameron got a lot of star wars stuff and the best present of all was the Nerf dart tag game that Santa brought them! I don't know what Santa was thinking but I'm so tired of picking up darts I could scream!

Christmas Day in some new Christmas clothes!

Everyone has always said how much he looks like Bryce and I'm starting to see it as he is getting older.

Where did the time go????

So I've been slacking a little..we'll alot actually, so I figured I'd sum up the last couple of months into one post....

Remember this...... Can you believe this was almost two months ago? It's hard to imagine that we had that much snow considering how nice the weather has been since.

I took like 5 photos of Cameron and in every single one, he was eating the snow..Gross!

Kaycee just posing as usual!!


Cameron and Beau went to the corn maze for their field trip with Treasure house pre-school. They have so much fun together!






Sorry Ladies, He is taken!!! Doesn't he look so hot?? j/k

Bryce had to dress up to go to work on Halloween night. My nephew Braden let him borrow this outfit. In case you haven't seen the movie "Semi-Pro" He is dressed as Jackie Moon who is played by Will Farrell. I told him that I wasn't worried about any women wanting to pick him up that night....I don't know about anyone else but I'm not so much into the red afros!!!






Before we took the kids trick or treating, we went and visited my Nana who is in a nursing home. She is 95 years old!!





My little Star Wars guy and Bat Girl!!!







Every year Kaycee want's to be some kind of superhero..last year was Wonder Woman, this year was Bat Girl!






Kaycee's first hunting trip and I'm sure it won't be her last. She has been begging Bryce to take her hunting so a few weeks ago he took her pheasant hunting with his Dad and Brother. Kaycee had so much fun. As most of you know..she's not the most girly thing!! Bryce is such a good Dad to take her along with him.



Daddy's little hunting buddy!

Bryce, Kaycee, Grandpa Gary and Uncle Brett!

RIP Obi-Wan Kenobi

We are sad to announce the decapitation of Obi-Wan Kenobi. (Star Wars guy)

So this happened a couple of weeks ago but I'm a little slow at posting it. I just thought that it was too funny not to share... So I sent Cameron to bed one night and instead of going to sleep, I could hear him in their playing with his little star wars action figures (which he is totally obsessed with right now) and all of the sudden he started crying and ran into my room. When I asked him why he was crying he said " I swallowed Obi-Wan Kenobi's head!!!" I said, "You did what?" and he told me again "I swallowed Obi-Wan Kenobi's head. He then started making throw up sounds and was going through the motions of vomitting. He then started sticking his hand down his throat to try and get it out but was getting frustrated because his hand was too big. Bryce and I were busting up laughing!! (after we made sure he wasn't choking and was going to be ok, of course!!) He was so devasted that his Obi-Wan has no head and he knew that it probably wasn't the best thing to swallow it. For one, what in the world was he doing with his head in his mouth and another, I thought that we were past the whole putting things in your mouth phase..Apparantley not!

So needless to say, We were on poop watch for a week or so and still no head has made an appearance yet (at least that we could see) and I wasn't about to go exploring!!! Anyway, I'm sure the head has passed, and it was pretty little so I'm not too worried, but this is one story I had to write down so we can laugh about it when Cam is older.

Halloween Fun!!

So I've been slacking a little on the blogging but my camera is currently broke so I can't take any pictures..by the way, don't ever buy a kodak camera..they suck!!! Anyway, I thought that since Halloween is coming it would be fun to post some pics of my little goblins and their halloween costumes over the years...

1st day of pre-school!!

Ready for School!!

Cael, Cameron and Beau in front of Miss Brenda's house

Cameron started pre-school last with with Miss Brenda at Treasure House Pre-school. He is really enjoying it. Some days I wonder if he is learning anything and then all of the sudden he'll start singing a song he has learned or he has even started to recite the Pledge Of Allegiance. He is getting more grown up everyday!
