NeverLast night I picked Kylie up from gymnastics. This is the conversation we had in the car ride home.<br />
<br />
Kylie: Mom I kind of like gymnastics better than home.<br />
Me: That's okay you can like being other places too. <br />
<br />
After a pause where Kylie was thinking about things <br />
<br />
Kylie: Mom could you please finally be a minute late picking me up?<br />
Me: You want me to be late so you can play longer?<br />
Kylie: Yes<br />
<br />
Laughing to myself I was pleased that I usually am not late for things. But what kids asks you to be late? Don't they usually beg you not to be late?Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-29140759334132127652012-10-10T12:07:00.002-06:002012-10-10T12:07:21.748-06:00Marcus Builds me Shelves<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We started here in my laundry room. There is three doors that lead in and out of the laundry room so it doesn't leave space for shelves and places for my laundry baskets, or any folding area. I had seen a desk with a hinge on it and thought we could do something like that and set it up and then have it swing down or up and latch it. Marcus thought about it and found some folding brackets on the internet. <br />
<br />
We measured and figured we could make four shelves and fit 10 laundry baskets in there, or have a folding area and 6-8 laundry baskets. And then when I am all done with laundry I will collapse the shelves and we can walk through easily to the kitchen.<br />

Isn't that an awesome bracket to fold down??<br />
<br />
Of course we built them for laundry baskets not kids. The day after they were done Landon ripped one out of the dry wall. I always kept that one folded up. Then a month later Kylie was trying to climb up for something and completely ripped out two more. So back to square one. Marcus ripped out the dry wall and installed 2x4s between the studs so he could screw them into the wood and not just the dry wall. He replaced the drywall and textured. Now we still need to prime, paint and put the shelves back up. Darn kids, we have to build everything for a pack of wild elephants for it to survive in our family.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-24024626067592057892012-10-10T11:40:00.001-06:002012-10-10T11:40:25.250-06:00Glasses<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The morning she woke up for her new glasses I pulled her into bed with me and took these pictures with my phone. Unknown to me the ophthalmologist would be calling later that day changing the way Aria sees forever.<br />

Many people see Aria's adorable little face in glasses and ask me how I knew she needed glasses. So here is her story. I didn't know. It started last fall 2011 when she was just one. Aria would space off every once in a while and her eyes just didn't look right. As rude as it sounds she would look like a little retarded baby. I have no prejudice against those sweet little handicapped angels. I just knew my baby looked really off. I would call her name or clap and she would stop her dazed look and look right at me and everything seems just normal. I shrugged it off and didn't know what to think of it. Because when I got her to she would looked at me with both her eyes. It also didn't happen very often. And Marcus never noticed it.<br />
<br />
A few months later around Christmas/New Years season I was in Pocatello celebrating the holidays with my side of the family. My amazing sister in law Sara noticed Aria's eyes and said that she had a crossed eye. She told me one of her friends had a child like that, and that it was an easy fix. I was amazed and could totally see that her left eye would get lazy and cross in towards her nose. So thanks a million to my Sara!!<br />
<br />
A few months later in the spring I finally made an appointment with Aria's pediatrician to see what he would say. Before I went I looked up some info in the internet to see what her crossed eye was all about. I read all about the differences and causes of a crossed eye, wandering eye, and lazy eye. And all the prognosis's for them which included glasses, patches, and surgury. I also remember my cousin had a lazy eye, and he had to have a patch. Marcus' brother also had a lazy eye and had an eye patch. We went in to meet with her doctor, and I had a lot of anxieties that came with us also. He observed her and asked questions. He took about 10 minutes and wrote us a referral to an ophthalmologist. He told us that she has a crossed eye. When she is looking around it tracks a little slower than her right eye, but that she can still see out of it. In order to protect a child's eye sight, if an eye doesn't move with the other eye your brain will see double, and then your brain will turn off that eye so you can't see out of it. The sooner you catch it the better so they can fix it before your brain turns it off. He is such a great doctor he even showed us his eyes where he had surgery and one of his won't turn inwards at all. He said we caught it at a good time too.<br />
<br />
I call the ophthalmologist's office and got an appointment that was around 6-8 weeks later. June 12th the day after Marcus' birthday. I skyped Marcus parents (on a mission in England) and asked them about their experience 30 years earlier with their kid. Matthew ended up having surgery. I also asked Matthew about how he sees. His vision is 20/20.<br />
<br />
We took the family to her eye appointment (always an adventure). The doctor there was also amazing. After her eyes were dilated he would just put lenses up to her eyes and look at how her eyes would react. He told us that in both of her eyes she is extremely far sighted. He told us that she works so hard to see up close and her right eye dominates, so he left eye pretty much can't keep up and so it crosses inwards. He was confident that glasses would fix her eyes. Once again we have wonderful doctors, and he told us his 12 year old daughter has the same thing. And that when she takes off her glasses for swimming and such that her eye will still cross in. <br />
<br />
After her appointment we sat down in their small shop and checked out glasses. They have amazing Mira-flex glasses for babies and small children. They bend and move and you pretty much can't destroy or break them. We had to get the smallest possible size that they make (my baby was still 1). Plus she has an itty bitty head. When she was going in her first year for measurements her head was on the 0% for size. We picked out the lens shape and the frame color. We HAD to go with a pearl pink! And then dropped $155 for those babies.<br />
<br />
A few weeks later they called. Her glasses had finally come in June 26, 2012. She was so good with them. She loved looking in the mirror when they were adjusting them for her. When we came home she kept walking around really slow observing her enviroment. She kept walking with her head down. I don't thing she had ever seen a carpet fiber, or blade of grass in her life.<br />
<br />
Her frames are quite indistructable but her lenses with the extra no scratch layer is another question. After she got her glasses the doctor wanted to see her back in two weeks to see how her eyes were doing. By the time we got there her lenses were already scratched up and we ordered new lenses. Thank goodness they are guarnteed. She has now been through three sets of lenses, and we should really order her some new ones again.<br />
<br />
But the best news was when we brought her back for her two week check up that her eye doesn't cross anymore, and both her eyes are working together now. She has had an adjustment keeping her glasses on. The doctor told us that she would actually like wearing them because she will like being able to see. And after about the first month that has been true. But she does throw them off when she is having a fit, and we regularly are looking for her glasses. So half of the time you will see her in them, and half of the time you might not.<br />

As a kid my dad had a couple of meals that he would cook for us. (Most of the time my mom did all the cooking until we moved to Pocatello, and then we started taking a night of the week to cook.) My dad had Saturdays. Anyways one of the meals he made were 'hats'. I don't know the real name of them but you just butter up a piece of bread, cut a hole out of the middle and crack an egg in the middle. After they were all done you would place the piece you cut out on top of the toast and egg and that was it's hat. Hence why they were christened Hats. <br />
<br />
I decided to cook these babies up for my kids, and have heart shaped cookie cutters. I told them how Grandpa used to cook these for us when we were kids. They thought it sounded so fun. But they didn't love the egg part, and pretty much just ate around it. There is no pleasing everyone. But I loved them.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-51159569257269838752012-10-10T10:26:00.001-06:002012-10-10T10:26:07.413-06:00Flowers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At one time when I was around 19 years old lilies used to be my favorite flower. They aren't my favorite anymore but I still love them. One of the few plants and flowers I had in my flower beds when we moved in were some gorgeous orange lilies. For the weeks that they were in bloom this summer, every time I walked out my back door they brought a smile to my face.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-15182228504314700112012-10-10T10:19:00.002-06:002012-10-10T10:19:53.904-06:00Aria's First Haircut<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is time (June 17, 2012) for Aria's first "official" haircut. Tannen did manage to catch her a few months ago in the winter to cut her hair in random spots. (I was not home, and Marcus had the kids. But of course disasters like this always happen really fast.) I just cut the bottom of her curls and some of the wispy hairs on top. Aria's hair and nails seem to grow painfully slow. I can't believe that she had her first haircut just two months shy of being two years!!! I remember when she was a newborn I waited a whole month before I needed to cut her nails. All my other babies came home from the hospital and needed their nails trimmed right away.<br />

I called up his brother Matthew and asked him to show up and golf with Marcus in the morning. He set up the tee time and let me know when he was going to get here. I told Marcus that he needed to get the day off and that he was going to have a surprise for his birthday, and not to worry because he was going to love it. I told him he was going to have to be ready to walk out the door at 6:30 in the morning. He asked if I was going to get up and get ready too. I said sure, hoping to confuse him what his surprise was. He thought that I was going with him, and we got a babysitter for the kids. Marcus had no clue what was going on. Matt came, and Marcus was still getting ready. I asked him if he was ready to find out what he was doing. So he walked down the hall to our family room and Matt was sitting on the couch waiting for him. Marcus was very surprised and happy to go golfing for the day. I was delighted to arrange something for Marcus for his birthday. Even as an adult it is fun to be fussed over and loved.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-51002443143844043322012-06-23T15:53:00.001-06:002012-06-23T15:53:45.381-06:00End of the School YearThe kids a a great school year. I was able to help with the Super Kids Fun Day. There was fun water games, and whatever the parents came up with. I did Landon's class a game in the morning. Then in the afternoon had the same game for Kylie's class. Each class rotated so I saw the entire school but the kindergarten. We balanced balls and walked patterns on the the four square lines. I am proud of my kids for all the hard work and things they have learned. I love our school and am hoping for a great next school year. The kids came home from their last day and found out who their teachers were going to be for 2nd and 4th grade. They were so excited, so I am hoping we have some good teachers again next year.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-57572754446505046082012-06-23T15:48:00.002-06:002012-06-23T15:48:53.960-06:00Kylie's End of Year Concert<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Kylie had a 1st grade concert that I was able to go to. I wrestled the little two, chased them down the halls, and was able to capture a couple of pictures and some videos of Kylie singing. She did a great job, and I can't believe how much she is growing right up.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-36422603237351662262012-06-23T15:43:00.001-06:002012-06-23T15:43:13.681-06:00I Breed Monkeys<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

We had a great Easter this year. We got to go up to Grandma Vernae and Grandpa Davids house. Justin and Sara came with their kids. The Easter bunny hid treats all over the house, and the kids got sandles, bubbles, and of course lots of chocolate. Rochelle and Brendon and kids, and Candice and Brandon and kids came over later that Saturday morning/afternoon for the huge Easter egg hunt in the back yard. You bring a dozen egg per kid. The kids loved it. There was fun toys and treats and money in the eggs. We had a great dinner (Jambalaya) on the patio, with fresh rolls, fruit and salad. It was a great time spent with family, and of course the food was Delicious.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-43535019509176519422012-06-23T15:20:00.001-06:002012-06-23T15:25:53.193-06:00Shhhhh<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Marcus is never big on Valentines Day. So I figured that was okay, but I like doing something fun for the kids to let them know that we love them. I made them some fun candy sundaes. Then that evening we used the new dishes and made homemade hot fudge sundaes, just like I grew up eating.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-44629480285842971282012-06-23T15:00:00.000-06:002012-06-23T15:03:53.966-06:00Tannen's 3<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Tannen had a fun third birthday. If I remember right it was pretty low key. He got some fun presents: books, tools, spin toy, and Diego backpack. We like opening presents and then just letting the kids hang out and playing with them. We invited family over to come, but they ended up not being able to come, but I already made a monster sized cake. So the kids ate as much as they could and then I delivered the rest of it. Tannen really didn't eat much of his cake. We have video of him drilling into it, and licking, or wiping off the frosting on the chair. It was really fun to watch. Happy birthday my sweet, busy, hugs and kisses little guy. We love you.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-493756136472495092012-06-23T14:49:00.001-06:002012-06-23T14:49:13.018-06:00Date Night<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In February we had a dads and daughters date night, and then a moms and sons date night. We got to learn some square dancing and have a cookie. It was a great time. Landon was really crazy, but we had fun dancing at the school.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-74932218836041179362012-05-15T13:51:00.000-06:002012-05-15T13:51:07.650-06:00The Little ThingsI took my two littles out on a walk today. I pushed them in the stroller, and I just strolled along. On our walk we discovered, heard, or saw horses, crickets, birds - lots of them, and saw a robin with a worm in it's mouth, frogs, bees, butterflies, water, bugs, fields, flowers, and contentment. I loved our walk and for an hour we just slowing down to notice the little things. It was very therapeutic for me.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-25070344690266920512012-01-10T14:15:00.004-07:002012-01-10T14:36:14.604-07:00Potty TrainingWeek One down for potty training Tannen. And what an eventful week it has been. I really don't like potty training, but I really don't know who does. We started on the third. I had quite a time trying to convince him that we were all done with diapers. But finally he was put into the underwear and was fine with it. The first day was about half the time getting it on the toilet and half the time missing. It has stayed about the same the whole week. But now he really knows when he needs to go. We have yet been able to get him to do a #2 on the pot. Usually I try and take him every hour, and he is able to squeeze out something to make me satisfied. <br /><br />But today was almost comical. He just peed his pants and after he does that I take him into the bathroom to see if he needs to go anymore. Well I sat him on the toilet (his preferred way of going) and told him he needed to pee on the toilet. So he gave me a small tinkle. Then he gave me three more tinkles (really they need to be called tinkles because they were so small). Then he decided to stand up and turned around and lifted the toilet seat, and said something about daddy. I decided to start count how many times he would pee. I reached 10 and was amazed at how many times he could pee/tinkle. Especially since he just peed his pants. Then we hit 20 times he would tinkle in the toilet and was astounded that he carried that much pee in him, and kept asking him if he had anymore pee in him. We finally hit 28 times and he had decided he was all peed out!! 28 times can you believe it?? He washed his hands and I told him to get some new underwear. He told me that he peed on the floor in his room. And then when I was chasing him down to get said underwear on he said he peed on the floor in the front room. (Yes he really did tinkle a little on the floor.) I finally got his underwear on and he said he peed again in his underwear. I could see a small damp spot on it. And in the time it as taken me to type this he went on our deck and peed there as well. <br /><br />If you're counting that would be 32 times!! I'm afraid we just aren't going to run out of pee anytime soon.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-72803882696330310062012-01-04T15:23:00.006-07:002012-01-04T20:00:31.694-07:00Landon Turns 9!We get done celebrating New Years and Landon's birthday always sneaks up on us.

We got it on video, it was great watching him.<br /><br />We were able to take him shopping and get a new bike that is green and gray. He was really excited about it. It has been sunny so he has been able to ride it every day. When we got home from getting his bike the kids and Marcus got to Skype Grandma and Grandpa Simons for his birthday while I made his birthday cake. A chocolate one of course because he is my child. For dinner he requested chicken and broccoli dinner with sparkling cider. It was pretty low key day.

She has always been a grandma's girl with both of her Grandma's. So I talked Marcus into taking Thursday and Friday off and going up to Grandma's house. We packed up Thursday morning. Kylie got to talk to her Grandma and Grandpa Simons who are serving a mission in Poland. I made Potato soup and bread for dinner. We played games opened presents and ate cake. She got to play with her cousins all day, so I think she had a fabulous day.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmwWnIiosmZiWHHjcIpsPSFKDFvQx2m52pEHfRGCW5yNDxsRZP7k4D_8Rr-iUF_opGGq8udg_AMO9rWdihCvOTmbjcxa64WoWgPwD66zB0uDpbPwF9q38ZqdjZl1muknDoKOLNZg8S_Qc/s1600/Winter+11+081.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmwWnIiosmZiWHHjcIpsPSFKDFvQx2m52pEHfRGCW5yNDxsRZP7k4D_8Rr-iUF_opGGq8udg_AMO9rWdihCvOTmbjcxa64WoWgPwD66zB0uDpbPwF9q38ZqdjZl1muknDoKOLNZg8S_Qc/s400/Winter+11+081.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693900700255848242" border="0" /></a><br />After playing chubby bunny at her cousin Karlie's party, Kylie wanted to play for hers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh4agO8hIcUVGahbAU1rAKEFAcFXq41Y8UQBPTzhwHkm9YDzaIAdSyH0MYx5DMhun7MyGcvwSdxLMnq9QP0hQr8vvGGkeqHMMtkwu9Cx0h9VriLjZoZiTuoh5SPzVZAMZAKONOONW9MsYT/s1600/Winter+11+082.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh4agO8hIcUVGahbAU1rAKEFAcFXq41Y8UQBPTzhwHkm9YDzaIAdSyH0MYx5DMhun7MyGcvwSdxLMnq9QP0hQr8vvGGkeqHMMtkwu9Cx0h9VriLjZoZiTuoh5SPzVZAMZAKONOONW9MsYT/s400/Winter+11+082.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693900681631400018" border="0" /></a><br />Ben and Naomi.

We have always had to hide the presents and just pull them out at night right before bed so they wouldn't get into them. Right before bed we read the Christmas story out of the Bible. I really loved it because I have been so wrapped up about telling the kids that we celebrate Christmas and give gifts because Jesus gave us the greatest gift so we could live with Heavenly Father and him again. I really forgot about Mary and Joseph going to Bethlehem and the Shepherd, and wise men. It was such a good reminder, and I am glad we do it every year.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkDqCZl0YR8sCOKgBf0BK27wtbbwUjFRU-RbflTonVahV1JO1z847Fmp1FT3lZOZxpZeSEFh4yk1J7SiFcPJccWMr-D_otTVg6mt_L6m_6AFg6T2lDXJ2H0BXTMSIfXb44aPEkSwmMpt59/s1600/Winter+11+037.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkDqCZl0YR8sCOKgBf0BK27wtbbwUjFRU-RbflTonVahV1JO1z847Fmp1FT3lZOZxpZeSEFh4yk1J7SiFcPJccWMr-D_otTVg6mt_L6m_6AFg6T2lDXJ2H0BXTMSIfXb44aPEkSwmMpt59/s400/Winter+11+037.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693886749111166690" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJKEmYibRsM8XKu2Eb84rcyodwdIzkhOB7MqTlVs8aEjUrWrCIJhGfxEIz2UU9fv-YPmuVPYO2EJo4xRI8ZY4-0QbeMW0_92N0mZmk31t2ImCko7nPXGsB1mXLaVPtUk7Mt3EJEH9xcNPz/s1600/Winter+11+036.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJKEmYibRsM8XKu2Eb84rcyodwdIzkhOB7MqTlVs8aEjUrWrCIJhGfxEIz2UU9fv-YPmuVPYO2EJo4xRI8ZY4-0QbeMW0_92N0mZmk31t2ImCko7nPXGsB1mXLaVPtUk7Mt3EJEH9xcNPz/s400/Winter+11+036.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693886759947378642" border="0" /></a><br />Tannen and Landon were very happy to help out<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2TaQpjh80n4MLi8A3AHO0Xcp0u_rgbPjvtxeNNOEedlAiyqQalerERpatWGPS6bQW2gD_SUUqcny-V5T6I_B-nQODb0AIXWC3xKsd722CatiEdMiMVDf6wi-87VR83NMScnvt0CuEYtnY/s1600/Winter+11+039.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2TaQpjh80n4MLi8A3AHO0Xcp0u_rgbPjvtxeNNOEedlAiyqQalerERpatWGPS6bQW2gD_SUUqcny-V5T6I_B-nQODb0AIXWC3xKsd722CatiEdMiMVDf6wi-87VR83NMScnvt0CuEYtnY/s400/Winter+11+039.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693886449452924162" border="0" /></a><br />Christmas morning just dying to open presents!!<br /><br />We had a very fun Christmas this year. Church started at 8:30 that morning so we didn't have the kids open any presents until after Church got over. We came home and some of us just put our pajamas back on for the day. What is Christmas if you don't get to hang out in your PJ's all day? This year I went with the theme for my kids "Something you Want, something you Need, something to Wear and something to Read." It ended up working out really great and I like how balanced it felt. Not too much toys but a little of everything. Santa filled their stockings and brought candy too. The kids had a great day. Landon and Kylie got some Wii games that they played with. And Tannen got a little computer that he dragged around with him all day long.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8llVUI4MU5b-g2GA1g7Qk1DMPBR6-ushqs4gZ-vAsrzLjZ6oWcuSnLr_kdoApK8f0AHTCYyqb9jdmnVMCHqprD5-XyTEKOigHwkgtVHmCQfnvK_9gU0WIvv3950CcIyv6Q-rvpvCnk3w8/s1600/Winter+11+041.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Check out Marcus' new boots!<br /><br />The kids loved it. The Want was Wii games, computer, and Little people castle. The Need was boots and gloves. The Wear was new coats, except Tannen he got footy jammies. The Read was books - of course. We also found an air hockey table for the kids. Landon and Kylie took the sleds out twice to our little park by our house. They took Tannen out once with them. They are still so excited about it, and are waiting for a big hill to get lots of snow so we can all go out as a family. For dinner Marcus and I cooked Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya that was heavenly and so healthy too. We had a happy and merry Christmas.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-87624088953041957762012-01-04T13:50:00.001-07:002012-01-04T13:51:29.069-07:00On the Twenty Fourth Day of ChristmasOn the Twenty Fourth Day of Christmas my mother had us read<br /><br /><br />The Christmas Story in the BibleWendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661801039948244661.post-36536645808367181372012-01-04T13:49:00.002-07:002012-01-04T13:50:30.486-07:00On the Twenty Third Day of ChristmasOn the Twenty Third Day of Christmas my mother gave to us<br /><br /><br />A Special Lunch date as a family to the Noodle Co. and Coldstone.Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07872949800452565685noreply@blogger.com0
