Merry Christmas!!!!

Wow what a fun day. The kids woke us up at 7:00 which is actually later than they normally wake up so that was nice. We made them wait until about 8:30 for My mom and brother to get here. It actually snowed a bunch during the night. My mom got snowed in so my brother had to go get her. The kids were bouncing off the walls by the time they got here. We had the best morning ever, we did not feel rushed at all. After all the gifts were opened we went to Joel's parents house for more gift opening. My mom stayed at our house to cook Christmas dinner. My mom spoils us. At the Corrington's we had cinnamon rolls and juice for breakfast because Ted and Bev's kitchen is being remodeled, but the kids enjoyed that for breakfast! After that we came home and the kids got to open all their toys and we ate and ate it was yummy. My kids have been so fun to be with today and they are in heaven with all their new toys.

Can't believe Christmas is almost here.

I finally got our computer fixed and we can blog again yeah!! We had a nasty virus on our computer that pretty much wiped out everything we had, but we are up and running again. Life has been so busy around here with the holidays and finals going on. Joel is finally done with all finals and he has a week off of school and work. The kids are so excited about Christmas it is going to be so fun. Here are a couple of pictures of Ky's School program. She was so fun to watch, definately the performer of the family.

Winter Wonderland

Every year we always wonder if we are going to have a white Christmas or not, and every year it seems to snow the week of Christmas. We have about 8 inches at our house,and it's still coming.

I found this picture and had to post it. Landon looks so big and handsome. I can't believe he is three. He is such a boy,always getting into trouble. Running, jumping off things and screaming, but thats what we love most about him.

Landon's alter ego is an angel..

So today Landon had his first dentist appointment to get his teeth cleaned. I have to admit I was very nervous about taking him. He hates it when we brush his teeth at home so I was worried about them being able to work on him. I even warned the dentist that just because Kylie is an angel doesn't mean it runs in the family. (side note) Ky has had some pretty deep cavities worked on with out being numbed the Dr. says she is his best patient by far. Well we got to the dentist and saw Grandma C. who actually works there which is nice and she told us that Grandpa was getting his teethed cleaned so she took Landon to visit him. Meanwhile in my head I envision him kicking and screaming as we take him back. So a little later they call his name and he says, "Thats my name momma," He was excited to go and the rest of the visit went awesome he listened so well and didn't even squirm in the chair. I am so proud of him. Maybe we can start introducing him to the public again:) I know I am cheesy but here are a few pics.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well I just wanted to let everyone know that I am so thankful for all of my wonderful blessings. My amazing husband who some how manages a full time job, full time school, and a family. I love my wonderful children,who make me so happy and keep me on my toes day and night. This is certainly my most favorite time of year. I love being with my friends and family. The thing I love the most is the shopping the day after Thanksgiving, I know it's crazy, but there is something fun about shopping at 4 a.m. with my sister in law Sarah.. I hope you all had a great day I know we did.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!!

This is Landon at 7:00 a.m. He has already dumped his toys out.

Landon is 3 today,yeah he made it !?! It's crazy how time flies. It has definitely been an adventure with this little boy. Trouble finds him where ever he goes,but he seems to melt you with his I'm sorry momma... or it was an accident daddy.. how could you not love this boy..
We celebrated his birthday yesterday because his daddy had to work today. We went to lunch at Arctic Circle (his choice). We also took him to get his hair cut he was so good and just sat still. I will be taking him to get his hair cut from now on. When I cut his hair it is full of wiggles and screams and momma no!! Later on we had all the cousins over for cupcakes and ice cream. He opened his presents and he was one happy little kid. Thanks everybody for making his day special..

Silly Boy!!!

So today as we ran errands we were in the car and I asked Landon if he was buckled and he said yes. Well his sister said otherwise so I told Landon that it makes me sad that he lied to me,and that Heavenly Father was sad too.. Well Landon's response was "well Santa still loves me." He is such a crack up, but seriously I think that's the reason he's still alive sometimes... j/k Have a great day...

Grandma And Grandpa this ones for you!!!!!

This was Halloween night at g&g house. The weather was so nice and both of the kids had so much fun. Kylie was Hannah Montana this year and Landon was a Lion. When I was putting Landon's costume on and he said "Mom don't be scared it's me Landon." He is such a cutie. Kylie had a wonderful time with her cousins. She is getting so big. We love her so much.. Anywho glad to see Halloween behind us. It seemed to drag on forever, we had so many parties to go to it felt like we dressed up 30 times.I have more pics but they are on my friends camera because mine died..
Grandma and Grandpa we miss you guys so much hopefully you will be able to stay close to us even though you are far away.... WE LOVE YOU!!

Boise was a blast!!!

We had so much fun in Boise this weekend it was a much needed getaway. We sent Ky to school on Friday without saying a word about our secret. Landon and I packed the car while Joel got a few hours of sleep (three to be exact). At 1:00 we went to Ky's school to pick her up she had no idea we were coming:) she was so surprised to see us. She thought we were there to pick her up for another dentist appointment. Landon broke the news he said "Ky we are going on a very long long trip." It was so fun to surprise her she was so excited. We met up with the in laws and headed off. We got to Boise did some shopping, ate and headed to Joel's aunt Nevi's. We ended up getting to her house later than we expected. Stacey was there waiting for us to show us the way to her house. We stayed at the McKenna's (Joel's cousin). When we got there they showed us to our room, it was hilarious cause Trevor put little candies on our pillows and he set out towels and washcloths for us. They were the best hostess's we could have asked for!!
On Saturday we went to breakfast with the in laws and uncle Gary. We shopped some more and then we headed for our train ride. When we pulled up to the train the kids were so excited. We got on the train and sat in the open car it was such a blast my kids loved it. We picked out our pumpkins after some long deliberation we loaded them back on the train. After the train we ate a restaurant along the river with the fam it was yummy. We then headed back into Boise to the Kripsy Kreme store the kids go to watch the donuts be made and then they gave us a free one. They were so stinking good. Overall we had a wonderful day.!! Here are a few pictures..

Psst I have a secret!!!

I am so excited. This weekend we are taking the kids to Boise to ride the Thunder Mountain Train. The secret part about this is they have no idea. We are going to pack there bags and pick ky up from school and off we go. It has been really hard to keep this secret. Kylie really wants to go buy pumpkins and we keep telling her we don't need any this year. She will be so surprised when we get to the pumpkin patch. YEAH!!!! I love surprising my kids...

So last night we made (pizza bombs) . The kids had so much fun rolling out there dough and adding there toppings. Landon also drank some negg ogg (egg nog) . He is just like me when it comes to talking he always messes up his words, but it's cute to here it from him. So the picture isn't the greatest, nobody would hold still so this is what you get!

Kylie's First Kiss......

It's not what you think. We got a call from the school saying Ky had fallen on the playground. Well I showed up at school to check on her and she had chipped her front tooth ( yes a permanent one). As you can see her nose swelled up pretty big she was so miserable. Later on that day she made the comment " Well I kissed the ground and broke up with him." She is all healed up now and looks much better.

I need to remind myself to take pictures of Landon when he is being a (good) boy so that I have proof that he does not have horns sprouting out of his sweet little head. Landon loves being with his dad but sometimes he is a little to helpful.

I'm Baaaacckkkk!!!!

Well I tried to update my old blog and it would not let me in. I tried everything . So here I am now. New blog same me. Not that anyone actually reads this.
