IT's BegiNning tO LoOk A lOt liKe ChriStmAs!!!

You know he is thinking "I really want to touch that"

We got our decorations and tree up early this year and Kolsen did such a good job. He didn't get that we needed to hang the ornaments and not play with them at first, but he came around. He also found one of mine that is a train and wanted to drive it all over the tree. It was to cute so we got a little video of it. It won't post right now but I will try again later. Hope everyone is having a good time getting ready for Christmas.

Our lights twinkle so a good picture was hard to get

WhAt A WeeKenD!!!

Well, I hope everyone had as much fun as us this weekend. It was packed full of fun family activities and lots of food. Our Thanksgiving day was a blast. We went to the Davis side for lunch and then to my side later that day for dinner. It was a lot of fun with a lot of good food but the bad part was Kolsen got sick about 2:00 with a fever and didn't feel good the rest of the day. The good thing was he got to sleep most of the evening at my parents house and the next day he was much better. It was a weird 12 hr thing and he is fine now.

Then on Friday Jason got the day off and we got to do our Christmas decorations and we got our Christmas gift early. We got our selves a garage door opener and can actually use our garage now. It is amazing what a difference pushing a little button does for my lazy self. Anyway, our house looks so nice and I am so in the Christmas mood now. There is something so special about this time of the year when we get to think about Christ's birth and life and then wonderful things he has done for us. You can see it fill the air and everyone is a little happier than usual.

Saturday was also a big day for our family. Heather and Spencer went through the temple to be sealed together and to Lexi for All Eternity. What a special miracle that is. They are such a sweet family and I am so glad that they are in my life and have made the wonderful choice to go to the temple and receive all the blessing that come with that. I love them very much and can't wait to see what is in store for their family. When they get the pictures back I will steel some and post them. Since then our life has slowed down a little and is starting to get back to normal.

Oh yeah and I also did my hair different. I have been in kind of a funk and been really down on my self lately. I don't know if it is the hormones or what but I just needed a change to liven things up again so I decided to dye my hair. Heather and I decided that I should go darker and I absolutely love it. It is a Reddish brown color with Blond highlights and Heather did an amazing job. I am so spoiled to have her in my family and to get to take advantage of her whenever I want. She is amazing with hair and I will never go to anyone else!!! LOVE YOU HEATHER!!

And last the belly bump has finally come. I am about 18 weeks now and we can find out what it is in the next few weeks, I am sooooooo excited. I still have no idea what it is but we will be happy with whatever come. Stay tuned to find out!

STICKY FOODS ARE SO MUCH FUN!!!

OK, SO ON SUNDAY WE GOT UP EARLY AND HAD A WONDERFUL BREAKFAST OF GERMAN PANCAKES AND EVERYONE LOVED THEM. ESPECIALLY OUR SON. HE IS LEARNING HOW TO USE HIS UTENSILS AND IS DOING REALLY GOOD, BUT I THINK HE GOT A LITTLE TO EXCITED THIS TIME AND MAD A HUGE MESS WITH THE SYRUP. AFTER A FEW MINUETS OF BEING MESSY WE LOOKED OVER AT HIM CAUSE HE WAS GIGGLING AND THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND. HE HAD STUCK THE SPOON TO HIS NOSE AND IT STAYED. JASON AND I LOST IT. WE PROBABLY JUST TAUGHT HIM THAT IT IS FUNNY TO PLAY WITH FOOD, BUT IT WAS TO HILARIOUS NOT TO LAUGH. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS BATH TIME AFTER THAT. I LOVE HAVING KIDS.

The many costumes of Jason

Jason had a Halloween party for work and he wanted to do something fun so he bought a bunch of makeup and went to town on his face. The picture doesn't do it justice, but you can still get the effect. It was very scary and hard to recognise him. Kolsen didn't know what to do when he saw him and came running to me. After he said something it was OK and he just kept pointing at him and looking at me. Then I called Jessica to come over and look and they couldn't stay for very long because every time kernan looked at Jase he would start crying. It was sad but funny.



















Then he went in Alan's costume for trick or treating later that night. We should have gotten more pictures of it but we didn't. He would let the kids sit on it so it looked like they were going potty. We got a lot of funny comments as we were walking.

It took me long enough!!!

Here are some trick or treating pictures.

My Little Pirate. He didn't get the whole trick or treating thing. He was so excited to go for a walk with everyone that he just grabbed the first piece of candy our neighbors dropped in his bucket and ran out ahead of everyone giggling the whole way. It was cute.

The gang from the right: Lexi, Kolsen, Chase, Mallory, and Clark

Yummy sticky suckers!!! We didn't hear a peep out of these two for a while.
