A life changing event

Well, for Brendan anyway. As he put it, "I finally, FINALLY, lost a tooth.

We were eating dinner on Saturday and all of the sudden he was just holding his tooth. We had no idea that it was even loose, he didn't even know.

My Favorites on Friday

"Are you going to eat that?"
Anything left on the table is fair game to Emery. Even if the person wasn't done eating and Emery already had her fill. Sorry, Hailey.

This calls for a celebration

Kayden had a good birthday last week. My kids could hardly wait for Corey to get home though so he could open his presents. He got some good stuff. A new DS game, new book, some more Magnetix, and most important, more nerf darts. (you can never, ever have too many of those)!!


  He had a lot of help opening his presents. Brendan was right next to him the whole time and Emery kept making off with his stuff.



He requested chicken rolls for dinner and then we ended the night with doughnuts.

 And because he turned to big 12, the weekend was special for him too. He was ordained as a Deacon on Sunday, so lots of family came to celebrate that with him. Grandpas, Grandmas, an Uncle, and cousins all came.

My parents and brother along with his two cute little kiddos stayed the weekend and my kids were in heaven. Anytime grandparents come it's exciting, but my parents came over the holidays too, they couldn't believe they were seeing them twice in three weeks. And we don't get to see my brother and his kids too often so it was even better.

Emery learned how to work Grandma's new Kindle and may have even purchased a book or two with her fast little fingers.
Another highlight of the weekend...
 My brother brought "Just Dance 2" for the wii. My kids were busting some serious moves and having a great time.
 Once again, another weekend that went by too quickly. We had a great time and always are sad when everyone has to leave.

P.S.
Kayden might be wishing he had not celebrated the big 12 because he has already been asked to speak in Sacrament meeting next Sunday- I was just glad that phone call was not for me tonight!!!

My Favorites on Friday

Just because I love getting something done.

Remember this?
I am happy to say that this was finally put together, thanks to Corey and Carter, and has now found a nice spot in the toy room.

All the kid's books in one spot so everyone can see all their options and it freed up some much needed space in their bedrooms.

I am much too young to feel this old

Over the Holidays, Emery hit the 18 month mark and started nursery. (She is still ignoring my pleas to stay little.) But she is just so much fun and is getting such personality. She makes us laugh everyday. She just got a couple of new teeth making her total a whopping 6. She still doesn't talk though. She uses the same sound for everything and just expects us to know what she is talking about. She runs everywhere and busy, busy. She climbs and gets into everything. She keeps definetly keeps us on our toes.





 Emery is not the only one ignoring me. Tommorow Kayden will celebrate the big 12!!! I know that can't be right. How is he that old already? I am not sure I am ready for this.
