Making a snowman with Daddy!

Brandon helped Jada make a huge snowman it was almost taller than him. Kinsley helped a little and even Cashus. He helped by eating big chuncks off so the snowman wouldn't be too plump! Kinsley had a blast until we made her come in because her fingers were frozen she screamed like we tried to kill her. Brandon loves the snow this year since he got a new snowblower at the end of the snow season last year. Jada made a good lookin snowman. Now it just looks diguisting since Cashus keeps peeing on it! Dumb dog.

Jada's Christmas dance recital " The Nutcracker" 2009

Jada and her BF Whitney did such an amazing job at their recital! Kinsley almost made it through the whole thing which was a miracle. She was very good which made it much nicer for Brandon and I. We are so proud of Jada and the great job she did people I didn't even know were coming up to me afterwards to tell me what an awesome job she did with all of her back handsprings and tricks. They had a class for handicap kids do a number and we laughed and cried it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. This one little boy reminded me of my cousins William and he was on top of the world that day. It was sooo neat and really got me in the Christmas spirit! Awesome Job Jada WE LOVE YOU!

Thanksgiving made us thankful the emergency room wasn't busy that day!

We didn't get any pictures of Thanksgiving Day or dinner at my mom's we were lucky we even made it. Kinsley decided to trip and fall right on the return air vent and split a big gash right in between her eyes! I was very calm which is weird for me because I am usually the stressed out person every day. Maybe that's why in cituations like these I'm very calm because I stress out over everything else! I called Brandon and luckily his work let him come home because I wasn't about to go to the emergency room by myself. We definatley lucked out because the E.R. is usually busy on Holidays since there's no where else to go but when we pulled up there were only a few cars and we went right back! We were still there for a few hours but we made it to dinner at my mom's that night so atleast the whole day wasn't ruined. Kinsley is so tramatized from the whole experience. I wonder how long it take a baby to forget something like that? I'm glad she forgave me and Brandon for helping strangers hold her down and torture her (atleast that's what she thought we did). She still talks about her owie everyday and we tell her it's all better now but she still talks about it. I can't imagine how scary that was for her to be covered in blood and then taken to an unfamiliar place where your own parents let people spray stuff in your face, wrap in in bed sheet and hold you down, stick huge needles into your head while you watch, and then after all that have your face covered while 4 people held you down and the doctor sewed up your head. Gosh I can't imagine why she is terrified around anyone she doesn't know! Poor baby it was an awful day but Thanksgiving Dinner was very nice and it was great seeing my brother Russell and his family we miss them very much!

More Halloween pictures

Halloween 2009

We had a really busy but fun Halloween! I was trying to clean because I couldn't stand the sight of my dirty bathroom anymore that always goes really well with Kinsley trying to help! We met Brandon's family at Chili's at 4:00 p.m. after we drove to Kaysville to take Brandon a change of clothes since he forgot. Kinsley didn't really get a nap so she was just wonderful at the restaurant. I was all ready irritated after trying 10 or 15 times to get Kinsley to sit long enough to get a decent picture of her and the girls. At the restaurant she didn't want to sit either and she screamed like I had just stabbed her because I took her snack cup away since she was only throwing her snacks on the floor. When the finally brought her food she wouldn't really eat but it a good thing she loves coloring or the whole meal would have been a disaster. She has never acted like that so I hope she's not starting her terrible 2's early. (Hopefully I can keep my sanity through that)! Next we headed off to the trunk or treat at the school by our house and I was dreading it since Kinsley was acting so naughty. She really surprised me I expected her to just want to run away from us like she had been at Chili's and throw a fit because she couldn't eat her candy until the end. Instead she held onto Daddy's hand with one hand held her bucket in the other and just walked along with a big old grin on her face. She loved it! When she was all done she plopped down right in the middle of the parking lot and dug into her bucket for "Yum Yum's," as she calls anything she really likes. What a kid! Later that night the monster in her came back out and when she had to go to bed she was so unbelievably tired that she threw the biggest tantrum ever! This caused her to get big welt looking hives all over her face like a weird rash. We didn't dare to put her to bed since we weren't sure if she was having an allergic reaction to something so then we got to deal with her even longer. It was my fault because she was so over tired but how was she going to go to sleep with kids pounding on the door and ringing the doorbell all night. We waited until the rash was gone and it was around 9 or 9:30 Makayla put a sign on the door that read. "Baby sleeping, ran out of candy Happy Halloween!" I stayed up and folded laundry and Brandon went to bed! Thank goodness the night was over before I lost my mind!

Jada's 9th B-day

Jada had an awesome Birthday! We went to the park with just the family the kids played and we got to visit. We opened presents and had cake and ice cream. I decided having a friend party every other year is plenty. The kids had lots of fun and Jada got very spoiled. When her uncle Scott and Sydney drove up with a 4 wheeler in the back of their truck she thought they had gotten it for her. What a nice present! She didn't think she was getting one because we told her we couldn't afford it and we can't but what the heck. Everyone else had a 4 wheeler to ride but her so we had to get her one and she was so excited I've never seen her go so crazy over a present.

Makayla's 14th B-day

I can't believe my little girl is 14. Wow I really feel old and I hope that saying isn't true that your only as old as you feel because I must be going on 80.j/k only some days. Well my beautiful daughter is growing up so fast and I'm praying I will make it through the teenage years without being put into the crazy house! She is a really good girl but she's a girl and for all of you with daughters you know what I mean. I don't have any comparison cuz all I have is girls but whatever even if you don't have girls you know what I mean. Makayla and 3 friends went to frightmares and then came home to shove their faces with cupcakes and ice cream, candy and Carmel apples. Yum Yum! Then they watched a scary movie because young girls always love scary movies. I know I did! They had Edward in with them to watch over them thanks to grandma Woolf she really surprised her! She got a darling shirt jewelry, chocolates,a life sized Edward and tickets to the premier of New Moon she also had a new moon cake. What a birthday this girl has had. She gets one all weekend long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday what a spoiled brat.j/k She loves her new cell phone and all her other gifts thanks everyone!
