Christmas day

snow fun!





e



some of Mike's cousins


First things first Mike decided he wanted to be creative and make an olympic torch birthday gift for his brother in law. Let me just tell you I married a genius! I thought it was strange but hilarious at the same time you would never of known it was a present right?lol Next came Christmas eve where we ate sandwiches and opened presents at Mike's mothers house. That's a tradition we do every year. Then of course came Christmas . The boys got spoiled by there grandparents let me tell ya i'm glad it was two presents each this year. we ended up having to take some of there old toys to DI ! I had to get them all packed up and ready to go to Utah . We traveled with Mike's mother and step dad and his preggers sister with her husband and daughter. The grandparents took Rhett and there daughter Brooklyn. Those two just love being together! We stopped every hour along the way for the pregnant lady. You would think stopping every hour heading to Provo would be a pain in the butt but it actually was a good time and gave the kids a break from the car. Surprisingly we got to provo in a descent time. The thing that sucks is not many restaurants are open in provo on Christmas so we ended up having a Denny's dinner. Not the greatest but better than nothing! We got a hotel in orem where are room was next to grandparents. Mike's sister stayed with her husbands fam. The next day we headed to Heber met up with all Mike's cousin's he hasn't seen since our wedding . We all went sledding at some place where you pay. Now let me tell you a couple things. Snow clothes take forever to put on! I was ready to quit half way through and I was already done freezing to death! Gage was fell a couple times cause he had so much on he couldn't gain his balance. Another thing I was wondering why the heck somebody would pay to go sledding? Well it comes to show it's not nearly as hard of work! They had 400 foot man made hills with humps in them. They had the tubes for you and levers to take you up the hill in your tubes so you wouldn't have to climb all the way up youself. We all had lots of fun. I even took Gage down the big hill and he loved it. There was also a kiddy hill that not many people used so me and Gage made our way up and down the hill most of the two hours we were there! We went back to Mike's aunts house had soup and mingled. We went back to the hotel slept until about 2 and decided we couldn't sleep so we left for home got back at 7 and enjoyed a lazy day with a little bit of sleep. So far it was the greatest Christmas we have had. Family and fun! Happy New Years to everyone!

ok so it's been a while since updating I'm way behind . These pics are a bit mixed around also. Anywa so I decided to have my own dance party since for many years I've been talking about having one I finally made it happen. And guess what kind of dance party? 80's is right! It was plenty fun to dress up 80's and just enjoy the night I even wipped out the only break dance move I knew and it was a hit! I just want to thank those people that came. I had a lovely dinner at my inlaws house with carrot cake and a cherry chocolate cake made by my great sister in law Tiff. Thanks Tiff! Thanks for all the gifts also was a great Birthday! My boys got a bunkbed. I think it was just about time for some sharing and Gage to have a big boy bed and it worked like a charm they both do alot better together than they do apart! Then I was crazy enough to see one of the first showings of New Moon with Mikes sisters and mother second year in a row. I kind of like the tradition. It's lots of fun but it was freezing outside and the line went around the outside of the casino building. We made shirts and mine said "team edward or team jacob?" the answer was "yes". Why do I need to choose between the two there both good looking. By the end of the movie I decided I liked edward better still. Sorry Jacob your just to young for me! Wait what am I saying I'm married you're hot honey!:) Love you! For Christmas this year we decided we're gonna go to Utah and be with Mikes extended family so while we were visiting in Cedar wher Mikes dad lives. That's where we went for a little get away from the kids by the way we decided to buy snow clothes which cost an arm and a leg! Yikes! Plus we had maintenance to our car before we left in the snow. Tires that is,arm and a leg! We also have been doin little Christmasy things with the kids since Mikes sister is here visiting with her little girl til they have to move to Florida. It's gonna be a while til we see them again. Rhett and his cousin Brooklyn made Ginger bread houses that grandma bought for them Mike made it and rhett added the candy. Rhett's awesome Robot he made! The kid loves robots I asked if it was wall-e and he said no it's a transformer! So that's that I still have another post to make of Gage's second Birthday so be prepared for more fun!

randomness

Ok so it's been a while I've been slacking a little with my blogs! Let's see what's been going on since Rhett's Birthday.. We had Halloween which Rhett got to dress up for his prescool party. He also had a little kid party with all the cousins. Then Halloween night him and Gage went trick or treating. We almost didn't go cause they already had a ton of candy... Then came my birthday I had an awesome 80's dance party! I got to enjoy dancing and seeing some friends in my rockin 80's gear! But I'm not so sure I like the numbers 26! I also had a nice dinner at mikes parents house. Oh yes how could I forget the lovely date night with my husband also. He took me to BJ's and we ate like pigs! DE-LISH! I'm still trying to recover from all of that. The boys have been crazy! I can't take them anywhere without having some kind of craziness! They are everywhere! I think right now I'm having a hard time with them just because of that. There at naughty boy ages I guess. If one does one thing the other follows! Rhett is having a thing where he talks back and says no like all the time and everything is an argument. Gage is a very happy little man but boy he is into everything! Rhett and Gage are good little buddies though. Rhett gets very protective of him. I just met with Rhett's teacher and she told me he is doin great compared to last year he wasn't speaking much. So we just been a little busy the last couple of months with Birthdays and Holidays but there is plenty more on the way!

Rhett is four!

Rhett's first day of school

For those of you who don't really know Rhett is starting his first official year in preschool. Last year he started at the end of the year. He goes to preschool at Cozine elementary. He goes four days a week two and a half hours each of those days.They are helping him with his speech and behavioral skills so he is ready for Kindergarten next year. And yep it's free! They'll be helping with other things too..He was so excited to start school this morning and it was weird watching him leave on the bus. Today I realized how much more of a help he is to me considering Gage my almost toddler is attached at my hip and I can hardly get things done without Rhett. Yikes!It's a little quieter without him too I don't know what I'll do when all my children will be in school! I'm gonna have to get a job or something to keep myself from getting lonely! But for now I'll try to take advantage of the not going crazy with two for a couple hours!Only one!Hee Hee..

Summertime Randomness

Don't really have much to post just a few random pics. I got new glasses so I thought it'd be fun to take a few pics and Mike decided to jump in!He looks like a glasses model don't you think? The boys in grandmas rocking chairs watching a movie. The pic of Rhett is after a hot and humid day at the park. I don't know what i was thinking that day! Rhett's cousins came over and decided to play dress up with the Halloween costumes we had. Gage had a chocolate pudding and decided it was better on him instead of in him..The last one is after Gage had a Hulk popsicle and look what it did turned him into the Hulk!

Rhett's first day of Gymnastics!
