Funny conversations

2009-04-23T13:06:00.000-07:00

Taya was telling me that her teacher said we couldn't drink coffee or beer when Kel suddenly asked, "What is French Vanilla?" I said it was a flavor and asked why he wanted to know. He told me that when we went to Chuck-a-rama he got some french vanilla to drink but it tasted like coffee. I started laughing and told him it was coffee with vanilla flavor. I asked him if he drank it and he said he left it on the table, then I asked if he liked it and he said no. Phew!! Hopefully he continues to not like it.

While we were in Vernal last weekend, Taya was using the bathroom in my parents room (which is all connected together) when my dad came in and turned the light off on her. She came out and told my mom "grandpa is exert because he turned the light off on me (paused in thought) then said, but I don't know what that means." Too bad we don't know what it means either.

Happy Easter!!

2009-04-13T20:51:00.001-07:00

It's suppose to be a happy easter but if you'll notice, Kian was crying because he got in trouble. I was running late to get to church and he wouldn't get his shoes on thus getting in trouble. Kylen is screaming because he is hungry and I have to wait till we get to the church to feed him. So, Happy Easter!! It really wasn't a bad day and they sure look cute anyway.

Kylen

2009-04-13T17:46:00.002-07:00

It really makes me sad how fast time goes by. Kylen is already almost 3 months old and growing way too big. He already weighs 14 lbs. and wears 6 month old clothes... he's quite a chunck! I wish he would stay little just a little
longer.
Finally getting some smiles out of him.

Isn't he just precious!!

Kylen and his cousin Emmett

Kel

2009-04-13T17:38:00.000-07:00

I had to add this picture in. Kel loves to shop so much that he planted himself in the corner of the store at the Mall and waited till we were through. It looks like he was being patient, but he really wasn't.

Like father like son!

Kel is an absolutely fabulous brother!! He loves Kylen like I never could have imagined. All Kylen has to do is make one little sound and Kel goes running to save him. We can only hope this will continue as he gets older.

Sydnie

2009-04-13T15:28:00.000-07:00

Miss Fashioniste loves to dress up and wear moms shoes and Taya follows along. She will also spend hours in front of the mirror working on perfection.

Sydnie is so good with Kylen. She's a born to be mom!

Kian

2009-04-13T15:20:00.002-07:00

Kian had to build a car for the Kindy 500, so he picked
a race car. I really don't think I've ever seen Danny
put so much effort into a school project. They both
really enjoyed it!

This is Kian and Trey playing in the closet. What you don't see are

the barbies hiding behind them...busted!! It was funny catching them

cuz they both acted like the barbies were just in there and they had

nothing to do with them.

Taya

2009-04-13T15:10:00.000-07:00

I've been getting lots of grief because
I have Christmas music and fall background
on here... meaning get on it Jeanine!
So I'm going to try and jump back on
the blog wagon.

Taya wanted these chips but they were
kind of hot, so I opened the fridge and
there they were. She said she was trying
to cool them off. I don't think it worked!

She's still my baby girl!!

When I woke up, I went in to see if the kids were up and found Taya with sunglasses on. It must have been a bright night!!

Kylen..

2009-02-18T16:38:00.001-08:00

This is the day we brought Kylen home.
I can't believe how quickly we forget
what is involved with a baby. I'm relearning everything but enjoying every minute.

Kylen is a week old here and already
changing so much. He's such a good
baby. I couldn't have asked for more!

Our new baby

2009-02-18T15:46:00.002-08:00

Kylen was born on January 31, 2009 at
9:56pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and
was 21 inches long.

Gray hairs...

2008-11-30T21:44:00.000-08:00

Today my sister decided to start pulling out my gray hairs...yes, I have a few. Anyway, Sydnie
asked with a surprised expression, "you have gray hairs?" I answered her with a "yes" and they are because of you kids. Later that evening she and Taya were running around the table while eating dinner and I told them they needed to stop. Taya says to me, "I can if I want" to which Sydnie replied, "Taya, you just gave mom another gray hair!"
At least she really believes they are the reason I'm going gray. It's amazing that I'm not completely gray already!!

Photo tag...

2008-11-18T09:46:00.001-08:00

You take your 4th photo in your 4th file and send it to 4 friends...

It looks to me like this deer is going to surprise

Danny and bite him in the bum! Wouldn't that be funny?!

I tag: Malissa, Randi, Melissa O & Sunnie

HALLOWEEN...

2008-11-06T15:21:00.001-08:00

Don't we all just love halloween!? Getting them ready,
all the paint and hairspray and work, and for an hour of
trick or treating...ugh!! Actually I love halloween but by
the time it's over I'm usually sick of it. This year Kel was
the grim reaper, Sydnie was Spiderella, Kian was the Gatekeeper
and Taya was a pirate.

Even Celi came out and dressed up with Taya.

Shane's kids came out to trick or treat with us too. All in all

it was a good time.

Nice shiner!!

2008-11-06T15:12:00.000-08:00

You would think that moving into
a new neighborhood the kids would
make new friends, not enemies.
Not really, Kian was actually
playing with the new neighbor and
he was swinging and iron rod trying
to swat moths. Kian's face just
got in the way. It didn't look
bad when it first happened, but
when he woke up in the morning it
was nice and black. He's pretty
proud of his first black eye.

the results!!

2008-11-06T15:06:00.001-08:00

Something to be proud of!! This is one thing they actually work hard at. If only they worked that
hard doing chores!

Pumpkin Carving

2008-11-06T14:59:00.001-08:00

Every year it has of course become tradition to
carve pumpkins for halloween. The best part
is the older they get the more independent they
are. Even Taya did alot of her carving alone. You
gotta love the mess it makes too... we need to
switch to painting them!

My brother and me

2008-09-06T19:08:00.001-07:00

We were at Chucky Cheese for Ashen's birthday
and they have that quick pic thing. Anyway,
Shane and I decided to take a picture. We were
trying to hide our double chins and not move and
wait cuz it takes forever. Needless to say, we
were laughing so hard that I couldn't hold still
and if you look, oh there it is, my double chin.
Whatever, ok so what?! Anyway, I decided to
add the other two pictures because since he's
single and my husband is always gone, we're
together alot.

Who is that?

2008-09-06T18:57:00.001-07:00

Danny will quite possibly take my life when he

see's this, but I can't help myself. My mom has

some old wigs from my aunts and Danny thought

it would be fun to try them on with different hats.

So now we know what he would look like with

curls.

Brown baby

2008-09-06T18:44:00.000-07:00

The other day we were walking through the baby stuff at the store and out of nowhere Taya says, "I think this baby can be a brown baby, huh mom." I about died laughing and of course replied with a "yes." So that evening we were sitting outside with Tara, Malissa and Randi and Taya had put on a jacket that doesn't fit anymore. I told her that after we find out we're having a boy, that she should give the jacket to Micah. Taya then replied, "I'm giving my stuff to the brown baby." Once again I was just laughing. So the next evening I was on Old Navy.com looking at clothes for her and there was a cute picture of a little black girl. My hysterical little Taya says, " are you trying to find a brown baby?" I mean how funny is that? She thinks that we just pick out the one that we want and that's what we'll get. If only we could pick... I would have some perfect children as far as attitudes go.

Lagoon!!!

2008-08-29T14:04:00.000-07:00

I have no idea what their faces are for cuz they
sure thought the ride was awesome. I guess they
were nervous about the seat belts.

Taya thought the bumper cars were cool until
she couldn't figure out how to make them go.

And yes, even I got to ride on some rides.
All in all it was a great day at Lagoon... all except
for the heat!

First day of school

2008-08-29T13:55:00.001-07:00

Kel and Sydnie gave me the curtious
picture cuz they were not thrilled
at all to be going back to school.

Kian's first day of kindergarten!!

He had to pick his own outfit for
beach day.

He was really nervous at first, but he put
on his tough face and did it. After he started
doing all of his assignments he found it was
pretty fun.

Outing with friends

2008-08-29T13:29:00.001-07:00

Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I had to
use my phone that takes terrible pictures.

Our neighbors and us decided to go up hobble

creek canyon fora barbeque. The kids got to play

in the creek and some of the parents too. We're so

lucky to have such fun close neighbors that we can

enjoy spending time with!

Pack night

2008-08-12T12:42:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday was pack night and
Kel got to lead us all in the
pledge of allegiance and posting
of the colors. It was just cute!!

Kel has worked really hard and he
received his wolf badge.

Of course, the moms get a pin too
and he managed to not poke me...
thanks Kel.

Dinosuar Museum

2008-08-12T12:27:00.001-07:00

Tiffany and I decided to be awesome moms
and take our kids to the dinosaur museum.
I have to admit that I have no idea what they
are all checking out, but my guess would be
some kind of fossil.

One of the many things to check out...fish.
My kids love to watch fish, even when we go
to Walmart.

We all got to climb through the huge cave
together. The end of it is right behind us.

The sand and water probably the least favorite
for the parents but the funnest for the kids.

Twilight...

2008-08-12T12:00:00.001-07:00

Yes we are Stephenie Meyer fans and
yes we are a few of the crazy ladies
who went at midnight to claim our books
"Breaking dawn." There were over 800
people there. Luckily for us, Dave Stroud
stood in line to get us wristbands. We
were in the two hundreds. So thank you
thank you Dave!!

We did at least bring our chairs so we
didn't have to stand... we know where
our spot in line is!

Finally, what we had waited so long for...
our books!!

Neighbor night

2008-08-12T11:47:00.000-07:00

If you look outside on a Sunday evening around 6:30pm, you'll see us all gathered on someone's
driveway or in this case (it was raining) a garage. We all get together and bring out a yummy dessert to share with eachother and spend an hour or two visiting.

I think the kids look forward to this more
than the adults!

And you never know who's going to show up. It might be the crazy lady with the head piece, or
the brother and sister you hooked up who are now in love... who knew!

24th celebrations

2008-08-07T19:15:00.001-07:00

We had to get up early to go to the Spanish Fork
parade and kids were absolutely thrilled (if you can't
tell) until it started. Then it was great!!

They all made out pretty well with the candy
and other things like frisbies.

After the parade we went behind to
enjoy all the activities and entertainment
and jumping on dad.

Flag retirement ceremony

2008-07-22T15:52:00.000-07:00

The Stroud's invited us to go watch the retirement of the Macey's flag with them. I

thought the kids would enjoy this, and they did once all of the speakers were finished.

It was really hard to hear from where we were so it was hard for them to sit quietly and

patiently. Kel wore his scout shirt so he was able to go down and help carry all of the

old flags to the fire. It's so awesome to be able to see your own kids participate in events

like this.

Taya not really excited about the whole ceremony

They could feel the fire from where we were
and it was already too hot.

Kel waiting to help carry the flags.

The soldiers burning the Macey's flag. What an amazing moment!

Movie night at the park

2008-07-19T10:09:00.000-07:00

We had to keep with tradition and go to movie night at the park with the Nelsons and Harrisons. The kids love doing this, I think mostly because of the treats. It's a great time though and it gets us out of the house.

The Bean Museum

2008-07-18T12:34:00.000-07:00

We decided to take a family trip to the bean museum. The kids thought it was just too cool to touch real lizards and snakes...ugh.

Taya's first haircut

2008-07-16T12:39:00.000-07:00

We finally had to cut off her beautiful long hair. We just needed something more managable, but doesn't she look darling.

Camping in a tent

2008-07-15T15:49:00.000-07:00

Our family decided to pack up and go camping for a night. We had lots of fun roasting hot dogs, swinging on our home made swing, making horns out of wood and of course our new friend... the deer! It was amazing, this deer hung out with us all evening and the kids fed it cookies an marshmellows.

Sydnie & Kian's graduations

2008-06-02T17:33:00.000-07:00

Sydnie graduated from kindergarten this year and Kian graduated from preschool. It's hard to believe that they can grow up so fast.

Easter

2008-06-02T15:31:00.000-07:00

Easter was a pretty exciting day. It started out normal, we got up and saw our treats the easter bunny left, went to church, came home had lunch and then Taya fell off of the bar stool and broke her arm. I spent the rest of the evening in ER with her but I have to say, she was a real trooper.
