FanTAsY FoOTbAll PArtY!!

So this year I played fantasy football with some friends!! And can I just say that this was SUPER FUN!!! If anyone wants you to join their leauge you must and you will have a ton of fun! We had a post season party at Cafe Rio last night to give out the winnings and just had a blast! I took 3rd place which isn't as cool as 1st but oh well there is always next year! And I can't wait until next year to play again and I can't wait to hang out with all you girls again. We have to do it soon!!! Thanks girls for such a fun night!!!

Here is our whole league minus 2 who couldn't be there.
It's me.

FaCeBoOK

So this is what happens when you join facebook and sit down on the computer for a few minutes after lunch to figure out what you are doing!! I fed him lunch and he still seemed like he wanted to eat a tad more so I put some Cheerios on his tray and this is what happens!! Poor baby Hayes!! So today for I swear 10 minutes I was a bad mom!

But hey on a side note, I helped the boys build a snowman the other day. So there I was a good mom too. Sure I am really bad at it but we had fun!!

DiSHwaShEr!!

If anyone needs a little help, mostly unloading your dishwasher, just let me know!! Sure things mostly just end up on the floor instead of the drawer but beggars can't be choosers right?!?
And really why does the fascination with such things as the dishwasher and vacuum have to end so soon! I wish it would last up until the point when they are actually helpful. It seems I have to threaten or bribe (whichever I'm in the mood for that day) Toby and Tryce to help me with these chores most days!!

TooTHLeSs WonDEr

Toby lost his first tooth!! His dad pulled it out last night. He wrote the tooth fairy a letter that said please leave my tooth. He woke up and tooth fairy had come and left him five dollars and a letter for him to read!! He thought it was really fun!!!

HaPpy NeW yEaR!!

It seems like after you have kids New Years Eve is pretty low key and a whole different kind of fun. This year was the first that Tryce actually made it to midnight!!! Hayes didn't make it though thankfully! We had a fun little party at my moms house with Bart and Lori and their kids and Tricia and her boys minus Tyler (apparently he is too cool to party with us)! We did some fireworks, blew noise makers, wore goofy hats and drank sparkling juice which Toby thought was not good!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

ChRIstMaS

So Christmas is a super fun time of year I know for everyone! Here at our house we had a ton of fun and got lots of presents but the best part is always getting to spend time with both of my wonderful families! I never thought I would enjoy Christmas with a family other than my own and my in laws sure put that theory quick to rest many many years ago. I have great in laws and of course a great family!! We went back and forth and back and forth and got to party with everyone!!! I won't bore you with details of who got what but just put a few cute pictures of the boys. I love new jammies the most!! There is nothing cuter than that! And my sisters boys were able to spend Christmas eve at my moms so that was fun!! Then we met Thurza, Josh and Jeff at the cemetery to put luminaries on Kim's grave which is always special!! It puts a little more perspective on what is most important. FAMILY!! Oh and I just have to mention the super cute and soft and comfy blankets that my mother in law made my boys!! They are so cute and they love cuddling up with them!

WeEkeNd FuLL oF ParTieS!!

This weekend we had Christmas parties both nights. At the Gordon Christmas party we had a live nativity put on by the little kids and Santa came!!! The nativity turned out so cute!!! Toby was a wise man, Tryce a shepherd and Hayes was Baby Jesus. I thought they looked adorable and Hayes was a pretty sweet baby Jesus I was somewhat shocked that he stayed in the manger! Then at my Aunt Helen's Christmas party we had a little program and the kids made reindeer antlers and played a little game. Tryce didn't want to make the antlers and the BYU bowl game was on so Jake and Hayes had to leave early to go down to party (or just be rather disappointed) with his brother!! So here are some pictures of the festivities!!!







So this may seems like a ton of pictures but I took way more and then I had to add this one of Brett and Lindsey because I thought it was cute!! We had a fun weekend and thanks to everyone who planned these parties! We hope that everyone has a great Christmas this year!

SnOw DaY!!

Why is it that kids don't care about being cold?! As soon as they saw it was snowing they wanted to get their snow stuff on and go outside and play. By the time they got it all on, I thought they were going to be back in complaining they were cold...but they stayed out all afternoon!! And they keep doing it day after day. They think it is so fun and I love it because they tend to get a little bored inside all day!! So as much as I hate to say it...YEA FOR SNOW DAYS!!! Snow clothes are so worth the money especially when you buy them a little big for next year too!

SeAtTLE

Jake left on Thursday to go to Seattle for a baseball coaches clinic. Me and the boys weren't invited I guess so we had a few days without him. Toby was the most concerned about who was going to cook dinner! I think he forgets who makes him breakfast and lunch. So anyway he came home last night and brought me the cutest thing!!!
It's a lovebird clock!!! It's so cute and fun!! The legs swing to the tick and it has these eyelashes on it! I was just thinking on Saturday that I would like a new cute clock. I guess it's a good thing I didn't buy one myself! So we all are glad to have him home. The boys missed him but they sure were good for me. I don't even feel like I need a break from the kids!!

Nursery Rhyme Day

So today at kindergarten, Toby had to dress as a nursery rhyme character. He was so excited for the "big day!" He was a blind mouse, obviously from Three Blind Mice. He even had a cute tail that is peeking out a little. He looked super cute and had a ton of fun in the gym playing games!!!Here Tryce is waiting for the parade to start!

Holding your baby brother is serious business! Here he is parading through the school and his cousin Kaimbri behind him!Being a blind mouse is also pretty serious stuff...I don't think he broke a smile the whole time. He must be a tough blind mouse!!!

YoU kNoW yOu WaNt OnE!
