You would think it was a TOY!

So I know all I talk about is my kids, but that is all that is going on with us right now. We are pretty boring!

So we put our baby swing away a few months ago because Callie wasn't interested in it any more. We haven't thought about it since, until today. Callie was being so fussy and nothing was helping. So when we were in her room getting her dressed I saw it and thought, what the heck. It is worth a try. So we got it out and I let Kolsen push her in it. She thought it was so much fun and laughed every time he did it. As I am putting this up she is still laughing and I got it out 30 min ago. I love how easily amused kids are. I am also glad that she stopped fussing!!! Enjoy the video.

Also here are some cute pictures of Callie that I caught yesterday. She is officially mobile! She started doing "THE ROCK" last week and is officially crawling now! I thought I was going to be so excited, until I remembered that the trouble begins with this step. She is so excited to be moving that she is already into everything. Fun, Fun, Fun!

Too Cute... I just had to share!

So I just got these last night and had to share them. When we were Trick or Treating, we went to our neighbors house a few doors down and when we walked up she asked if we wanted her to take the kids picture. I thought she was going to pull out her camera and just take one but she brought us into her studio and we got really good pictures. Then when I went to pick them up, she said that she didn't want any money for them because they were a Halloween gift. What a good way to advertise her business. Smart lady! They turned out really cute and that was the only picture she took. She just snapped it once. It wasn't like she had to take 3 or 4 to get a really good one. The only sad part was right after she snapped it Callie smiled huge and we missed it because she was about to fall off the box. Anyway, as a thank you for doing that for us I thought it would be nice to put her website up for you if any one wanted pictures done. She does it out of her house or comes to you and her studio is gorgeous. Thanks Heather! lovebugsphotography.com

Wow, I can't believe it has already been 4 years. They say that time flies when you get married but I never thought it would go this fast. Our anniversary was on Thursday, but went out on a date on Friday night. It is hard to believe we started dating 9 years ago. I am so lucky to have someone that IS my best friend and has been for such a long time. Jason is an amazing husband and he does so much for our family. I don't think I ever have to ask him to do anything because if he sees that something needs to be done he just does it. I think he is more neat and organised then me! It has been so much fun to grow up with him and I think that is why we have such a good relationship. We knew the In's and outs of each other long before we got married. It was so much fun to reminisce and look through some high school pictures to put on here. We have so many fun memories and some hard ones, but that is what has made both of us strong. I am also so thankful that Jason is a worthy member of our church and was able to take me to the temple. I don't think a day goes by that I don't think about the promises we made to each other and that we will now get to spend eternity together. There is such a comfort in that promise and I know that we will always be together. I love you Jason and thank you for all you do for me and our family. I love the memories we have together and am so excited to make new one in the days to come!

Balloons...

So my friend Jessica sent me a package and in it were these balloons. Her stipulation was that I take pictures of Kolsen blowing them up. He gets so excited to blow them up and when he was little he would do a "blow up stance" which he grew out of, but it was still so much fun. So here are the pictures for ya Jess! Callie loved them too. The pictures came out really blurry because we need a new camera.




This is how excited he gets! He got some height on that one.

Gotta do as daddy does


I almost got it



Yeah!!!! I did it

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Trick or Treat!!!

I hope everyone had as much fun as we did on Halloween night. Kolsen and Lexi were so much fun this year. It was really sad not to have chase, Mallory, and Clark though! We missed you guys! But we had a good time and got lots of candy. Actually Kolsen has been so excited about the candy that when Jason and I were getting ready this morning we let him watch a movie on the couch. We came out to find Kolsen behind the couch with one sucker in each hand, three sticks on the ground,two more with open wrappers and sticky slim all over. It was pretty funny! Kids think they are so sneaky! We also found a really cool house that was a lot of fun to go to last night. It is called the Halloween House. It was in the next neighbor hood over and I think they had every Halloween decoration that you could and then some. It was amazing. We got some pictures, but it doesn't do it Justice. So we did some trick or treating in our neighborhood and then went over there to look at the house. The people were even handing out free hot dogs and juice and had people walking around with saw's trying to scare you. It was a lot of fun! Then we came back to our house and everyone hung out for a while and we let the kids enjoy their treats.



Here is the gang, but no one wanted to cooperate. Did we expect any different?
