Sprinkling Reindeer Food

We make Reindeer food with oats and glitter. The oats for them to eat and the glitter to sparkle on the lawn so that Santa is sure not to miss our house. :)

Another Christmas Eve tradition.

Christmas Eve Jammies

Thanks to my friend and co-worker Bridgette, and her family, my kids got these super cute jammies for our "new jammies on Christmas Eve tradition".

Santa Brought BIKES!

Azelin and Ethan were totally excited to see their new bikes from Santa. :)

Thanks to some truly wonderful people in our ward and some super awsome friends and family, we had a wonderful Christmas!

Can You Guys Believe They Were Ever This Small?

YOWCH!!!

So, this happened about a year ago but I just came across the pictures so ya'll get to hear the story.

I have this huge battery powered cleaning tool. And Ethan decided to bash Azey over the head with it. For what reason we will never know. But it split her poor little head right open.

We had to take her to Insta-Care and have three staples put in her head.

Here they are waiting for the Doctor to come do the staples. See Azey's big smile? She had no clue what was coming... lol

Isnt She Adorable?

Look at all those curlers!

Too bad she gets sick of them being in before they have a chance to completely dry. That is why there is no after picture. We took the curlers out and her hair fell flat... :(

Oh-well. She looked cute enough like this.

Ethan LOVES trucks!!

In one of my older posts, Ethan had on a pair of high heels. No more worries though! He is definately all boy. :) He loves digging in the dirt and playing with his dump trucks.

When ever we go anywhere this boy can spot a tractor, truck, trailer, four wheeler, or anything of the sort from anywhere! Azelin and Iwould never notice them if it werent for him. :)

Just a funny story. When we ask Azelin what she wants for Christmas, she tells us "a barbie jeep!". Ethan heard her answer one day so then when we asked him what he wanted, he said, "a sweet baobie jeep wif sweet wheeos". lol He has finally decided that instead he wants "a big big big gun!".

Before!

Thats a nice toilet, huh? :)

We moved into this house a year ago. Before we moved in we had to gut everything but the bedrooms. We had to spray for black mold. And even rip out and replace a sheet rock in places! It was a mess!!!! As you can see.

BUT.....,,

And After!!! :) :) :)

WHAT A TRANSFORMATION!!!

Seran Wrap Anyone?

One morning one of the girls I work with, Amber, and I got to work to see that EVERYTHING had been seran wrapped!

So, we broke out the razor knives and began cutting...

And cutting.....

And cutting.....

They remodeled our floor for us and so they wrapped everything so that it wouldnt get all dusty. We are thankful for that. But, man! If you ever need a professional seran wrapper- let me know and I will find the boys who did our salon!!!

Cute Cousins

I took this with my cell phone. So, Mel is a little blurry, but the rest of the kids actually held still.

I Have Cute Silly Kids

Halloween

We had a neighborhood party the Monday before Halloween. The kids got to dress up in their costumes and do a Parade. We all had lots of fun and ate lots of Chili. :)

Then Azelin's school did a Halloween parade and party on Friday. Here is Azelin posing for us.

On Halloween night we took our kids over to "the mansion" where they got a KING SIZE candy bar, a balloon, and a train ride. They loved it!

Here is our cheerleader, froggy, and spiderman.
