I am a Flying Trapeze Artist...

Yesterday I went with the kids to the CIRCUS! They had a blast and Shyler even got her face painted. We would have rode the elephants, but the line was way long!

A trip to Korea for my mouth...

Last night I made the most AMAZING tacos!! Courtesy of my friend Aubrey's food blog . I made her Korean Tacos and they were delicious!!! I was nervous the kids wouldn't eat them, as they can be pretty picky...But as you can see...they were a HIT! Woohoo!!! Thanks Aubrey!

Strike!

Had a fun date night last night. The Mr. and I met some friends for dinner and then bowling! I really stink at bowling! I really didn't think I was that bad....but found out I was worse than I remembered. haha. I think my score on the third game was like 68...hahaha.
But the night was really fun and I hope to do it again soon. Maybe I'll get better....

Adventures in Winterland...

We were all so excited to hear that Cole's grandpa agreed to come up and play Santa Claus for the kids! He came with gifts in his sack for all the children. They LOVED it. Later we met Grandpa for dinner, and Shyler and her cousin Jadee observed and commented that Santa Claus and Grandpa had the same glasses and the same voice...I told them that that's how older people sound and a lot of people have the same glasses...

The cousins, left to right: Easton, Shyler, Korbin (lap), Jadee, Hayden (w/ mommy Kiki), Destri and Briley (the happy looking one.. hahah)

Don't take my picture Mom! I'm not smiling!

Tell me I don't live in a gorgeous place!


Me and Tomasi.

My beautiful little snow bunny.

This is New Year's Day at Cole's grandparent's house. There was like a foot and a half of snow! We had so much fun building forts, have snow ball fights, making snow angels and burying Shyler in the snow.

Shyler's naughty reading

My daughter Shyler is in Kindergarten, and so she's been bringing home little reading books...Well last nights books new words were, "Sheet" and "Sell"... As she was reading through she came to the word "Sit"...but remembering she had been using the "sh" sound...that's how she sounded it out.... It was quite funny actually, and I'm so bad, I let her do it, then I laughed, and explained her mistake. "Sh.... it..... shit"... Too funny.

Goodbye 2009

2009: I will miss you...

January

My two nephews, Tomasi and Timotayo were born in January.

February


We spent some time in the mountains shooting guns and playing in the snow.

Another nephew was born in February...little Hayden. March

Shyler was asked to help out her cousin in the Miss Spanish Fork Pageant. She got to be her "Lil' Miss" escort.

April

Easton and Shyler posing in their new Easter outfits. Ok, Easton is not posing, but making a typical face..

Also in April my work had a suite at a Jazz game and Cole and I took Easton along with us. He LOVED it!!

May

We took a trip to the Zoo to see all the animals. It was a long day...but fun!

June

The kids took swim lessons together. We went camping with some of Cole's family. Here we are with cousin Taysia. She's such a sweetheart.

July

Took a trip with cousins Scott and Taysia to see Yellowstone National Park. It was SOO fun! And we didn't even get eaten by any bears. Although we did get to see a black bear!

August

I took the kids to Colorado for Cole's grandparent's 50th Anniversary. We went to a gator farm while visiting and I got to hold this baby gator! So cute!

Shyler also had her first day of school!! Kindergarten!

And lost her first tooth! (She's now lost a total of 4!)

Easton had to have a bunch of dental work done in August. There was so much we had to take him to the hospital to have it done. He was such a trooper.

September

Took a trip for work to San Francisco. While there I got to meet up with my highschool buddy Lisa and we went out and enjoyed some Kara's cupcakes! YUM!

October

Went on my very first deer hunt and got me this nice 3 point. Cole was SO proud!

Also in October we got ANOTHER nephew! Little Liam. What a cute tiger!

November

Shyler celebrated her 6th birthday in November and spent the afternoon at Jumping Jacks with her cousin and school friend.

December

December has gone by so fast! Cole and I attended a great Christmas party put on by my work in the beginning of the month. We attended several family parties and enjoyed a wonderful Christmas as home with each other.

Until next year!

Good Morning Good Morning

As you can probably tell from my super ecstatic title. I am feeling MUCH better this morning! I think I have a bit of a cold, but overall I'm 100 times better than how I felt on Monday.
I am back at work and I even did my hair today. (You should be very grateful I did not show you how it's looked all week....actually in retrospect, that probably would have been something fun to share, so you could all laugh at me...note to self: Next time)

Last night i was awoken to, "Mommy" being whispered...I opened my eyes and POW! My little boy's face is inches from mine. That'll wake ya up! He climbed into bed with me (The hubby is sick, and was sleeping on the couch w/ a heating pad...plus he says I am a restless sleeper and I flop around a lot...I think it's bugging him...haha) Anyhoo, my little boy climbed into bed with me and just laid there smiling at me. He's such a little angel. I wish he'd stay this way forever!
