It was a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. .

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know that we did, they boys were spoiled as usual. Life is kindof crazy right now because we are buying a new house and hoping to close on it tomorrow so I'm busy running around trying to find boxes. So I can't write a lot about Christmas but I've posted a couple of cute pictures!! I hope everyone has a great year!!

More Christmas Fun!

Here's a couple of pictures from the Ogden Lights we took the boys to go see the other day!! It was FREEZING so we didn't stay very long.

Oh Yeah... look how big I am!!

Heres some of "Peytons New Tricks" I wanted to share with everyone!!

Peyton loves to roll onto his tummy, he's still practicing rolling back over though. He always gets stuck. . . good thing he has his older brothers to help him back over when he cries.

He hasn't quite mastered sitting up by himself all the time. He's getting better though. I like to call the picture below his "taco sit". Because he looks like a folded up taco.

Christmas Sing-a-long!!

So my mom had this "great" idea to go to the Delta Center Sing-a-long this year. (i put "" marks because I wasn't totally thrilled about going, and i kept trying to get out of it.) It was actually pretty fun though. The boys really enjoyed it too. They handed out free hot dogs and drinks, plus free stuff like bees tickets and free popcorn at the movie. We didn't end up staying the whole time because the boys didn't get naps. Colby was sitting in the isle seat and almost fell asleep a couple of times. And we had to walk back to Gateway for our car so I didn't want to try and carry them. I'm sure we'll end up going next year, it wasn't as bad as I was imagining.

There was a guy sitting in front of us that was making ballons for the kids. I think he ended up making us like 5 swords total. Tyler kepts popping his. After he popped his 3rd one, he decided to put it on his head and be Santa Claus. You can see his mouth. . . he kept saying, "ho ho ho, merry christmas"

Squeaky Clean!!

Bryan and Colby had their very first dentist appt today. I was a little worried that they wouldn't like it and freak out the whole time, but they both did amazing!! Bryan only has one little cavity and Colby has none!! I was very proud!! They wanted to bring their new pets just in case they got nervous but they didn't even need it. And they loved picking out their toys at the end cause they were so good!

New Christmas Tradition!

We started a new Christmas tradition last night that we will for sure carry on every year. It was so much fun. First we took them to see Santa at the Gateway, then we told them we were going to give them an early Christmas present. So we took them to Build-A-Bear workshop. They LOVED it!!! They had so much fun picking out their animal, then they got to help stuff it. Their favorite part was "washing" their animal. Then they got to pick out an outfit and get a birth certificate. They even had to sleep with their animals in their "houses" last night. Bryan picked out a wolf, Colby a turtle, Tyler a monkey and we got Peyton a dog. Then after we finished that we went to see the lights at Temple Square. But they were all so excited to get back to their animals that we didn't end up staying very long. It was a great night!!

Great Santa, I definitely recommend him, I hate it when they have fake beards.

This is how Peyton spent most of the time!! He looked so warm and comfy!

And then heres all the boys with their new animals, all ready for bed!!

They all has such a fun time. Bryan kept saying the whole night, "This is great, I love this surprise, Colby don't you love this surprise!, its great!"

Tylers Birthday Pictures

He did such a good job!! I was so proud of him. Usually he is really scared to take his picture and he freaks out the whole time. I guess he's just getting BIG!!!

Isn't he adorable?!?

Cafeteria Plan

Me and Rob put like $2000 in our cafeteria plan this year because we knew we were going to have Peyton. Well, we ended up double covering him because he was premature so we weren't sure how much the bill would cost. . . . All of our hospital bills cost about $900. So I've been freaking out wondering how we're going to spend the rest of it. Making dentist appts for everyone was my first priority. But we still had a ton of money left over that we needed to spend. And this is what we got!!

The people at Target probably thought we were trying to start our own pharmacy at home. We pretty much are. We stocked up on everything that we use from Childrens Tylenol to Cough drops. We even got a really nice ear thermometer that I'm way excited about. And a new humidifier. In all we spent $595 at Target. I was pretty impressed with ourselves. At least it used a lot of our leftover money up!!

Thanks Tiff!!

Yeah, my sister-in-law took one of Bryan playing Tea Party with Kate!!! (don't understand? read next post)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!! I know that we did. We went to Robs familys house for Thanksgiving. And also had Tylers birthday party while we were there. We did a co-birthday party with Kate. They had so much fun. Tyler got a Buzz Lightyear cake and Kate had a princess one. They both got some cool gifts like a big Hulk "doll", a Star Wars tent and a race track. Kate got a princess tent too, it was so funny because I think my boys liked playing in it more then Kate did. We kept making fun of them because they would get inside, scream like girls with Kate on the outside just laughing the whole time. Friday, me and Rob went shopping like usual. I love going shopping that day, I think its so much fun with all the craziness. And of course you save a ton of money. My favorite store was probably Carters. Their entire store was 50% off, plus I had a 20% coupon I got in the mail. So my entire purchase was 70% off. It was awesome, I got some really cute outfits and saved over 75$ probably. Then we went and saw Twilight. I defiantly recommend it, it was really good. Saturday we tried to go see the Ogden lights, when we got there we saw the parade, so that was good. Then we thought the lights were supposed to turn on at 6:30. Well, at like 6:45 they still weren't on and it was REALLY crazy with all the people there. So we decided to try another night. And then yesterday, me and my mom decided to bonzeye it down to St. George for my cousins missionary farewell. Rob had to work so it was kind of last minute. We woke up at 5:00, got down there, went to sacrament, went to their house for like 1/2 hr, then drove back home. Needless to say, the boys were tired of being in the car. They did really good though considering they were in there for so long. Well, here's some pictures from Tylers birthday party.

This is Tylers famous, "HULK SMASH" look!

I think Tyler ended up eating like 5 or 6 cupcakes!! I hope he didn't have a belly ache later.

This is defiantly a blackmail picture for when they are older. They also liked playing with Kates new tea set. . . . I should have gotten a picture of that too.
