Check out Christmas pics

Christmas Day!!!!

Christmas day was great it was a lot more busy then usual for us. But it was great. It started at 5:30AM. This is the first year the kids have gotten up so early. Then they just were crazy opening there presents.

We had so many presents this year it was crazy

Chris and Allie had more fun with Noah's guns than he did, I think.

Then after we were done opening presents we took some friends to the airport and we were going to pick up my mom at the same time. But she missed her flight and had to get a latter one. So we had to go to the airport again latter and we had breakfast at our neighbors and snacked over there latter it was a good day.

Happy Holidays. We miss you all. Hope you all had a great Christmas.

Christmas Eve

Christmas eve was fun we went to a friends house and we had dinner. Then the kids all did a manger skit. They thought it was fun. Allie was Mary, Noah was a Shepard and Katie was an Angle. They thought it was pretty fun. Our friend took some pics so I'll have some latter ( I forgot my camera). Then when we got home the Jamiee Elf had come. So the kids riped the presents open and put there new jamiee's on.

Then we put our cookies and milk out for Santa. The kids all slept in Noah's room together, because they wanted to. They were so excited.

Our Church

We had our ward Christmas party at our Church the other day. They gave me the pics they took of the kids with Santa. Katie is so funny this year w/ Santa before they took the pic of her with him she had her arm around him like he was her best friend. So cute. Big improvement from last year. She was so scared of him all the years before.

Also yesterday all the elders and some young men got together and played a 3 hour game of football. Chris had a lot of fun. But all the men couldn't move today they all are so, so sore. It was funny. Because none of them are that old and they all looked like old men trying to walk around and do things at church today. Very entertaining for me at church today. Here is a pic that they e-mailed to everyone of everyone who played Chris is in the back right side if you can't find him.

Christmas Vacation

OK School is out and the kids are crazy. They are running around the house and so excited for Christmas. I also baby sit a little boy that just loves when they all are here because he just joins right in.

Today they were running around in a train singing "mambo, mambo, mambo." "Mambo, mambo mambo" it was really funny. Help me!!!!! It is going to be a crazy couple of weeks.

HaHaHa

At Allie's sing-a-long

Katie told Santa that her brother is naughty.

Santa came over to see the kids. Noah was laying on my lap

sleeping. He was really bored.

We have some news!!!!

Well for those who don't know. We found out in November that we are expecting our 4th little one. It is such a crazy thing because I have a IUD. But still I got pregnant(.01% chance). It has been really stressful because there are a lot of risks. So until today (because I had a Dr. appointment) I didn't really want to say much about it. In case I miss carried. I have been having a lot of spotting and things.

Today I had another Dr.'s appointment and he said that everything looked really good. He said that the IUD had moved farther away from the baby since my uterus is growing and that was exactly what he wanted to see. Also about a week ago I stoped spotting so that is great. He said the baby looks healthy and well. My due date is June 30th. I am 3 months and like 2 days a long. I am feeling much better about the whole thing now.

I now obviously realize that we honestly can't choose our own path and if Heavenly Father wants us to do or experience something. He will make it happen. Isn't that crazy.

This is our little person.

Fun in the snow

Chris is such a fun dad he took the kids out and they made a snow man taller then him. They thought it was so cool. But it was dark when they were done. But Chris wasn't done having fun -so.

He got the little 4 wheeler out and tied a satellite dish to it (we don't have a sled I know it is so sad, and a little bit trailer trash) But we have a lot of extra satellite dishes from Chris's work and it works pretty good. We have a lot of snow right now so they drove up and down the street. They had so much fun. This is our little neighbor boy. We watch all the time. He saw us having fun without him so he came and joined in. He is such a fun little guy.

The School Sing-a-Long

We had the School Sing-a- Long yesterday it was fun. Santa was there walking around talking to all the kids that came to watch there siblings. Katie told Santa that her brother was naughty. It was so funny. She loves Santa, and Noah telling him he wants trains, trains, trains. like usual.
Allie singing with all the kids.Allie after-All proud of herself.

Santa

Our neighborhood is so cool. On Sunday we heard sirens and a lot of commotion so we all ran out side. Look who it was, they had fire trucks in the front and the back of Santa's float and one of the trucks was talking on the speaker for all the kids to come out and see Santa.

They ended up having to pass our house 2 times because of were we live. So they could get to everybody.

So when I saw them coming around the second time me and Katie ran out and took pics. I feel like a bad mom. Katie has no coat on and it was freezing outside. But we didn't want to miss taking a picture.

They do this every year so next year we will be more prepared.

Sugar Cookies

Well yesterday when the kids got home from school I decided that it would be fun to make sugar cookies. We do it every year but I usually wait for Christmas break. But this year we have a secret family that we signed up to do with our ward. We have to give them something 3 times before Christmas. So we made them, and a few neighbors some cookies. The kids (well Allie, and Katie) really had a good time decorating the cookies. Noah got bored fast- so I missed taking a pic of him.
Katie would put so much frosting on you couldn't even tell what the cookie was anymore. But she had a lot of fun.

The kids are getting so excited for Christmas they are going crazy. So I am going to have to think of a lot more things to do with them to keep them occupied.

Well Happy Holidays!!!

Christmas decor

Well as soon as I got home and unpacked I put up all my Christmas stuff. We were going to go and cut down a tree, because that is a tradition that Chris loved to do. But we have a little fake tree for back up if needed. So Chris decided this year since it was already 5 days after Thanksgiving and we usually go get it the day after. He also had no idea when he would have time he decided that the fake tree would be fine this year. The only bad thing about that is that our tree is only 5 ft tall and it is pretty small. Our house now in our front room has really high ceilings and it looks pretty piuny. Oh well we like Charlie Brown Christmas trees. So here are some pics so you can see our house for the holidays.

All the pics were taken by Allie she loves to take pictures.

I finally sent her to take pictures of everything so I could show everyone in our blog. I have been sick ever since we went to Utah. It sucks when I came home I just never got over the little thing I had there and it turned into a really annoying cough that just would not go away so I went to the Dr and it was bronchitis, then I was on antibiotics and then I came down with a cold or flu again and had a fever and couldn't stay awake. This sucks I hope I can feel better soon I have not been sick like this since I was a kid.

Well Happy Holidays hope to have something more exciting to post soon.

Thanksgiving

As you all know we came home to Utah for Thanksgiving. It was great!! Our kids were so happy to see their grandmas and grandpa's and Aunt's and Uncles. We had to cram a lot in in the short little time we had. So on Thursday we had Thanksgiving with my family at my Aunt's home which is sort of funny because it was our home before they bought it from us and we moved to Washington. After dinner the kids played a Karaoke game with there cousin Hannah. They love her they had a lot of fun.

Aunt Jill and her Thanksgiving Feast

The kids singing it up.

Then the next day we ate again with Chris's Family and got to see baby Addie. We played games and cot up on life.

<

We had a great time and we love you all.

We also are very glad we came home when we did because just about 4 hours after we got home this is what happened.

We are coming!!

Hey, We are getting so excited. We are leaving tomorrow afternoon for Utah. wooh hooh. The kids are getting so excited, Katie couldn't sleep last night because she kept talking about who she was going to see when we got to Utah. She was up tell 11:00pm and finely she said she would go to sleep if I laid in her bed and scratched her back for a while. Yep it worked but I fell asleep there too. Anyway we are so excited to see every one and we should be their on Wednesday.

Camping

We went camping this last weekend for the first time this year. Which is so so weird for us. We had a lot of fun, It was nice the kids all bonded with each other again which they needed really bad. They are always so worried about friends now. We played card games and soccer together. Chris did a little hunting but didn't get anything. But we got to try out our new camp trailer-Wow it is so nice. Chris is hoping next year he can just work a 5 day work week so we can do more stuff like camping and things as a family.

Also on Monday -Noah doesn't have school on Mondays- So Noah, Katie and I were having a great snugly morning watching the kids favorite TV shows and Noah realized he had a loose tooth. OK he has been waiting for this moment for a very long time. So he showed me WOW was it ever loose. So I told him to get some floss and we will try to pull it. It popped right out he was so surprised because he didn't even feel it. I can't believe he didn't know it was loose before. So now Noah has lost his very first tooth and got his very first dollar from the tooth fairy. So exciting!!!!

Halloween Fun!!!!!!!!

Allie & Cheer Camp

Allie did Cheer Camp at our Lakeside High School, she had so much fun. All her friends were in it so they got to hang out all week after school and work on cheers and 1 dance. It was so cute and a little funny to see Allie trying to be a cheerleader.
Thanks to my neighbor that took a couple of pics of Allie, because she is friends with her granddaughter. Now I at least have 2 pics of this event since I said before I erased them all.

Allie had a soccer game the next morning at 9:00 AM clear across town, which they have to be a half hour early. Well can I say she wasn't the happiest child in the morning and the sad thing is is over half of her soccer team also did cheer camp. It wasn't a very good game. To many really tired girls.

woo-hoo I fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!

I am now able to get my pics off my camera yeah. woo-hoo. To bad I erased all those other one's but oh well. These two pics are of Katie getting into the Barbie band aids. Her hand looked very injured. I don't think with her I can buy the fancy band aids she uses them like stickers.

I did one of those candle parties and when all the stuff came that people ordered it came in huge boxes like this. There were about 5 boxes. So I almost packed up Katie and sent her to Grandma and Grandpa house.
Katie had her monthly fever this last week so she spent most of the time laying with dad when he came home from work or just on the couch. Poor thing it makes me so sad when she feels this bad.

For those who don't know Katie was finely diagnosed with PFAPA it is just a cycle fever syndrome. She will grow out of it when she is about 6 or 7. When she is 5yrs the doctor is going to try a pill form of some medicine that might make it so she doesn't have the fevers so often. So she won't miss to much school. But for now we just deal with it. She is such a good sport about feeling so sick.

The kids are getting excited for Halloween- Allie wants to be a Cowgirl, Noah is going to be a cook\clown- he is so funny. Katie found a Hair Stylist costume (dress up)and I can't talk her out of it so that is what she is going to be. She wants to be like aunt Suzie. Well I hope to post some good pics of Halloween have a good one.

Love ya all.
