Lion house / Fear Factor addition

Every year Ryan's family goes to the Lion house for a christmas dinner. We always have some form of entertainment, and this year it was Fear Factor. Ryan's aunt and uncle came up with the fears people face and below you can see the fun.

The first fear was Fear of HEAT

Kyle ate a pepper that was the 2nd hottest in the world. And he did it!

Robby had to face the Fear of SPIDERS!!!! ... so it wasnt a real one but he didnt know that. Next up was Craig who had to face the Fear of SMALL SPACES. This is one I really dont think i could do but he did it with ease. He had his arms taped to his side and was rolled up in a blanket for a few minutes. Of course we had adult supervision near by incase there were any problems. (Dont try this one at home kids)

Next was the fear of looks. Right on the spot Sawyer had his head shaved bald by our expert Uncle Mike.

The Fear of CROWDS was faced by Blake, this was no challenge for him. He stood up in front of us and talked for the 2 minutes straight with no problems. He had some funny mission stories.

Fear of INSECTS, Devin ate chocolate covered insects. I dont care how much chocolate you cover them in. Two words NO WAY but not for him. He downed them.

And last but not least the fear of HEIGHTS. Spencer stood on a chair and had to fall back and be caught by all his cousins. SCARY !!! Now you will notice it was all boys that did these challanges. Does that make us girls whimps or just smart :)

poor kid

Poor Caden has a mom that loves to take pictures so for Christmas his Grandma Janice and Grandpa Todd gave him a countdown calendar to christmas. So i thought it would be fun to take pictures everyday with him and the calander. He makes me laugh so i thought i would post a few of his pictures. and might i repeat poor kid. I have tried to take the pictures in the clothes that represent and activity we did that day. So we went to the bountiful light parade so he is dressed in a silly snow suit because it was FREEZING and one day we did a few family pics for christmas cards so he is wearing his outfit.

Christmas Decor

Well we finally got all the Christmas decorations up this last week. Christmas is my favorite holiday to decorate for but we just havent had the energy to do it. So this year we are just doing the tree and a few fun little things inside. It was fun putting stuff up though. Caden found it all really entertaining. He can just sit by the tree and look at it for ever. My parents tree lights play music. He loves that. He loves anything that plays music he kept jumping while listening to the snowglobe play music. He was so excited.

Santa Clause is coming to town

Santa Clause comes to Woods Cross Elementary School every year. Caden is young so of course he wont care if he sees santa. But his darn mom being into scrapbooking we braved the line with all my little brothers and sisters to see santa. It took over an hour!!! But i got my picture :) and he didnt even cry. I planned on holding Caden but santa put his arms out and i couldnt say no.

Swimming

I took Caden swimming and it might not look like it but Caden was having alot of fun. I always have enjoyed swimming but Ryan isnt a fan at all. I told Ryan that he would be in BIG trouble (since it would be his fault of course) if my little guy didnt like swimming, but it looks like he does *knock on wood*
