Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve we went to American Fork Cemetary to take a flower to my mom and brother for Christmas.. we then headed to my Dad and Gaye Lee's house for Pizza ( a tradition) and the kids opened gifts and saw Santa (my dad).. it was a lot of fun to see everyone. We were all there except for Stefanie (lives in Rhode Island), Blaine (on mission) and Luke ( hanging out with his inlaws).. it is always fun to spend time with family.

Christmas morning was a blast!! Christmas with kids is full of adventure and excitment. We decided as a family that 7 am was a good time to see if Santa came. At 4 am Garett came into my room and told me he was ready and that we could just wake everybody else up.. I disagreed and he kept coming in every half hour. We caved and went down at 6:30..


We opened gifts and headed to my dad's house for a good breakfast and to talk to Blaine who is serving a mission in Washington DC.. Justin's parents and brother came over for a ham and turkey dinner. It was a really good day.. Carter kept asking me when we were going to go to Christmas. I tried to explain but he kept getting upset that we waited all this time and we still were not going to Christmas. The day after he said I guess we will have to wait till next Christmas to go.. Enjoy the pictures..

Adventures since last post

I am so bad at this whole blogging thing. I really need to stick with it for the few that actually give a darn.. Like my sis in Rhode Island. We have been up to no good like usual. I have added some pictures of crazy hair day from school I did Chelsea's hair BIG and she looked in the mirror and was so excited, then she decided she will be made fun of so I pulled it back.. some pictures form Corn Belly's and some Christmas pictures. I am so thankful to my wonderful husband who has picked up a second job so I can be an exclusively a stay at home mom. I love it!! We are excited for Christmas and can't wait to go on a cruise for our 10 year anniversary the first week of Feb. I hope everyone is doing well!!

Merry Christmas

Adventures this past month

Garett at the Dentist.. He has a hard time there so I told him if he was brave I would take his picture and Voila!!

Justin and Carter Painting Apartment it was a lot of work but totally worth it!! Justin was on a huge ladder in the stairway.. I am so glad I don't have to do that, I had a panic attack just watching him.. Chelsea and Chris ready for school
They sure look a lot like their daddy..

Chelsea's First day of School 2010

Grand Opening of North Park Celebration

As you can see we have had an adventurous month.. I will try to keep this blogging thing up, I can't guarantee anything.

Camping 2010

We went camping last month and I thought I would post a few pictures.. I was terrible and forgot my camera so I stole these pictures off my sister in law's blog (Thanks Sarah)..

We went camping up Payson Canyon for 4 days and 3 nights. It was a lot of fun. We went to Payson Lakes and went out on an inflatable raft.. The kids had a blast!! We went with Jason and Sarah and their 5 kids, it was a blast.

FINALLY- I UPDATED

I have been really bad at this blogging thing so I thought I would do a recap of the last year... We are doing great Justin now works for Intermountain Healthcare at the Provo Hospital as a maintenance engineer. He also works part time as a journeyman electrician for Selectric, he is one busy guy. I am staying busy as a stay at home mom of our 4 wonderful children.

Christopher just started 3rd grade and loves it. He is getting so big, he was baptized this last Dec. and has enjoyed playing all summer, he played baseball and he is really good.. Chris is learning how to play football at school.. Chris is interested in BMX biking, and is learning some cool tricks, he is into video games and loves to read, he is a well rounded kid that keeps me smiling.

Garett just started 2nd grade and is excited for the new adventure. He enjoys riding bikes and playing sports. He is always wanting to play computer games.. He likes to keep his room in order and his bed made. If I would let him Garett would play with friends all day and night.. He loves playing outside and reading.

Chelsea is starting full day kindergarten tomorrow... I am sure going to miss playing barbies, dressup, house and all the other fun adventures we have been doing all summer. She is all girl from making sure her hair is not crazy to always wanting to go shopping. I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday and she said, lets go clothes shopping, which we did. She is such a joy to have around.. Her and Carter have become best friends it is fun to see her grow.

Carter, my baby, is now 3 I can not believe how time flies. Carter loves to dance, whenever there is music on he starts dancing.. He does these awesome break dance moves, and hand stands.. he enjoys riding his scooter and tries to do tricks like his big brothers.. He loves playing with toys and can stay content doing a puzzle all day.. even 100 piece puzzles. He is stubborn when it comes to potty training.. I think the diaper fairy needs to come and take away all the diapers... Carter is always full of energy and keeps me on my toes.

We are all doing well in Spanish Fork!! I will try to update atleast once a week.. I will add some pictures with my next post.
