Thanksgiving Fun

We had a wonderful time with the family during Thanksgiving. I don't think I saw my kids at all...between playing with their cousins or getting spoiled by Gramzy, our paths didn't cross much. I always love seeing my family. We are all so different, and yet so alike in so many ways. I am so lucky to have such amazing people who are not only my family but truly my friends as well! I love you all! Thanks Brock and Jenny for hosting our festivities. Is Christmas at my house this year, with Bridget having her baby and all?

Did you just say THAT?

I have been blessed with children who speak extremely early for their ages and they just never slow up! KK has been cracking me up with the things she is saying. It cracks me up at the time, but makes me realize that she is saying things that I say...and she is not old enough to say these things (I think) Here are a couple of things she said, remember that it is hard to read these words and get the full effect, her voice makes it all the better.

When she was having a hard time fixing the jammies on her baby, she said, " I am sick and tired of this!" I said, "KK, what are you sick and tired of?" She replies, "I am sick and tired of these jammies!)

A few days ago, I told KK that it was naughty to do something. She seemed to understand. Yesterday she had a friend a friend over and she stood above her and pointed her finger down at her and said, " No, No, NO! Ellie, Naughty, Naughty, Naughty!" Ellie was just sitting on the stairs looking at her with sad eyes. When I told KK that it was not nice for her to yell at her friends she said, "I be nice now Mommy!"

Scrubba is always doing funny things, but they are harder to remember or to catch it the right way for a post. He did tell me yesterday that they get to dress up for school soon to show what they want to be when they grow up. I asked him what he wanted to dress up as, and he said, "I will be a Pokemon Trainer, of course!"

Holidays

I am really excited about the upcoming holidays. Well, actually, I am just really excited to see my family for Thanksgiving. My kids talk about seeing Uncle Brock ALL the time. I think it is so cute. Out of all of my siblings, he is the one we see the least, and I guess that they look forward to every moment with his family! Scrubba is up making a book about our Thanksgiving this year and it talks only of Brock and his family. I am happy about this for many reasons:
1. I love that my kids love their family members near and far
2. I love that I have been blessed with such wonderful family members on both sides of the family....I am the luckiest girl in the world!
3. I love that Scrubba is actually doing some writing on his own! The kid usually doesn't like to write/draw/anything using his fine motor skills!
4. I love that KK DOES love to do all of those things on her own, maybe she is rubbing off on him.
5. I love that I have control of my radio and I don't have to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving is over...okay, that was a random one, but I really like to enjoy each holiday one at a time!

Belated Halloween Picts

Our pumpkins look a little over-ripe, but the kids are cute, right? KK started right in on her candy as soon as she got it. Scrubba was like his mom and wanted to save it, count it, sort it, and he hardly asks for any of it. I remember saving my candy for over a year and using it to bribe my siblings to do things for me. Bubs was always the one to fall for it! One year I stuffed it between my mattresses and it melted all over and made a huge mess...I don't know if I ever confessed to that....Sorry mom! Anyway, the Hus took the kids out this year and I got to stay home and read a good book. I loved it! I call I get to stay home every year!

True Aggies

I am really slacking with my blog. I usually only have time to view every one's blogs, and never add to mine! So, this picture is of some of the loot we got from Utah State's Homecoming parade. I was excited because we got shirts that are fun and yes, we got ice cream! We also got tons of candy that helped the kids get their sweet tooth's ready for Halloween. We went to the parade and then the boys all went to the football game. Go Aggies. I love how the kid shirt says to show me a true-blooded Aggie...that is exactly what our kids will be! That is where I met my dear husband and we have many wonderful memories of our time there at USU!

My favorite "Witch"

We have a grandma who was born on Halloween! We love to go visit her, and so we decided to go down to see her and bring her a birthday dinner and let the kids show off their Halloween costumes to their favorite Halloween Grandma! We had a wonderful time! We love her so much. It is this grandma who gives me my squinty eyes, who taught my mother to love music and who in turn has taught me to love music, she is the grandma who shed blood, sweat and tears to make my daughter a beautiful cross-stitch quilt that I love. She is the one who has taught me how to knit darling baby hats (that take me forever but they are worth it!) She is a wonderful grandma who loves us so much! Happy 75th Granny! We love you!!

Family+Motorcycle=Fun

Here is the motorcycle that we got when we were in Colorado visiting the family. We were all together and so we took turns riding it a bit. It was lots of fun. It was especially exciting to see my sweet hubby taking his turn on the baby bike.
