Begining of DECEMBER to NOW

1st of December we put up our TREE!! Not lights or very many ornaments BUT lots of CANDY CANES!!! or what Brakken calls them Canny CORN... It's really funny..
The next day the boys broke the gate down and eat ALMOST all the candy canes!!

on the 3rd.. We had our Ward party.. It was pretty fun.. We eat and Santa came.. and then we did a White Elephant gift exchange to a story about Mrs. wRIGHT and Mr. LEFT.. So you sit in a BIG circle and pass the gift from left to right.. Really fun.. But i sat next to 5 kids and we would always end up with like 5 or so EXTRA gifts.. haha.. But when the story ended we all opened the gift we had.. Brakken opened his first and it was COOKIE cutters.. And he looked at his Cookie cutters and said OHHH MAN.. And throw them in the middle of the circle.. And walked away pouting.. Maddie opened his and it was a Xmas HOT PAD... And looked at his hot pad and gave it a hug and still to this day he walks around the house with it.. It's every cute Madden truly made his lemon into Lemonade.. and Brakken not so much..

This is Madden with this HOT PAD!!

Here is another picture of Madden carrying it around

This is a picture of what happened when we were walking into our house... We had a lot of stuff to carry in our house.. And we hear Brakken say he needed to go pee... and then this is what he did..

on the 4th Tayli and myself went and did Temple work.. After being at the temple Tayli and Jake had us over for some yummy soup.. Thanks Tayli and Jake.. We hung out after dinner and played with their bunny.. And when we drove home Brakken was helping Joel drive.. Brakken was pretty good at driving.. When we got home we finally took pictures of the boys by the tree.. Madden was not wanting to take any kinda picture...
Here is the SAD boy..Here is the SMILEY boy with the SAD boy on the ground..

After Brakken took his picture by the tree he wanted to be the one behind the camera.. Here are some pictures that he took of Joel and myself..

The 6Th was my Really good Friends BABY shower.. Well it was a Welcome to the World party (she had her little girl 6 or 8 weeks early).. i forgot to take pictures again... but had a great time anyways.. oh yeah and after the shower Elizabeth and myself took our rice rocket to get it registered.. Lots of waiting time in Jiffy Lube.. Later that night i went with 2 of my friends to see TWILIGHT AGAIN!! I love that movie!!

7Th was Joel's gma Afton's birthday and her birthday party and it was in Riverton.. So we left on our journey out of Cache Valley at 1pm.. to hang out with FAM.. I forgot to take pictures of today.. But we had a great time!!

Last week Madden throw the biggest fit.. He cried and didn't breath, and walked from the kitchen gate to the middle of their room.. And he layed on the ground.. i have to mention that he's lips, feet, and hands are BLUE and his face is WHITE!! He had walked and cried withOUT BREATHING!!! i thought he was going to pass out and he finally took a breath and turned his normal color.. He has always thrown fits were he holds his breath but he has never took it that far.. But he is fine now..

This past Friday, we went to my mom's house.. She had my little niece over Amaya.. So we hung out with Amaya, Danni (my brothers girlfriend), Josh (my brother).. The plan was to make gingerbread houses but we did other things.. Things that i don't remember.. Well Amaya was getting potty trained.. So you can imagine what the day was like.. running back and forth to the bathroom... Here are the kiddos taking a nap together.. I love how Madden has his arm on Amaya's FACE!! Kids are so cute.

But when Joel came to pick us up after work.. Amaya wanted Joel to hold her and wanted to go with us to Debbie's house (we stayed Friday night and Saturday day at Joel's mom's house so we wouldn't have to drive in the snow).Here are some pictures of Amaya LOVING on Joel..

She cried when we left.. It was so cute but i felt bad.. It broke my heart to see how much she loves us..

Saturday i went to Lunch with a high school friend.. we had a yummy lunch at Apple Bee's.. Penny/Dano i had an AWESOME time catching up and eating with you.. Take care..

Wow sorry from the long post.. But i haven't been keeping up.. So i had to put the last few weeks in one long post..

Oh yeah "now it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" the snow finally CAME!! YEA!!

Fun WEEKEND!!

So for starters i started walking with Leeanne at nights (like after dinner time). It's real fun.. Sometimes we walk with the kids and sometimes it's WITHOUT them.. So Friday after our walk Brakken wanted to fix Leeanne and Carlos's car! I hope it works a little better than before??

It kinda looks like he is trying to steal their hub caps!! What do you think??

Then on Saturday we went to this really nice park that was called Ryan's Park... a little boy died drowning and they made this park to remember him.. It's a real fun park!! It's at like 600 east and like 300 south??? But i don't remember but I'll ask Joel!! They have a spot for 5 and under, and 5 and older.

This swing is cool.. i was able to swing in it too!! Well Maddie wanted to swing but i had to be holding him.. So I hope it's for moms too..
They have a plane for the kids too... Brakken is hanging on for dear life... Look how strong he is.. Or how scared??
My handsome HUSBAND.....Joely
And they have this really cool Boat that moves..... when the parents move it.

We remembered on Saturday that it was a free fishing day... But then after the park we forgot..
Oh yeah Joel bought himself and me tickets to The GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR!!! Well it was his early Fathers Day gift!! Oh yeah the 10th row in section 101!! So close to the stage and high enough so we could see the stage too.. It was a win win!! Thanks Hunny, or should he be saying thanks???

You know they are Brothers.....

.....when they sleep the same! They may look different... but they love each other...and that doesn't seem to matter what they look like.
I love how they both suck their thumbs, have a blanket, and when the other is sleeping the other can't wait for the other to wake up. (by talking softly in the others ear, tapping them softly to wake up, and my favorite tells me how they are bored with out the other brother!) I love my boys so much! My life would be boring with out my 3 boys. Thanks, Your Mommy and Wife.

Thanks to Joel's friends at Work

This is what we saw this morning! Joel and his friends play jokes on each other at work and now it's following him home!!



But now it'll stop cuz we got the job Joel starts on Wednesday!!! This Wednesday! Joel didn't care about the 2 week notice, he wanted to get in on sales, fast. So we are still not sure about what we'll do for living. He has training for a week and hopefully we can find a place fast. But if not he can car pool 2 days out of 5. So it's not that bad. Oh yeah, thanks friends for the lovely car wrapped all nicely.
