Christmas Day

Christmas Day

It was Christmas day when the kids were fast asleep in there beds when all of a sudden the parents were so excited that they went in a woke the childern up. To the childern's surprise the parents yelled out that Santa had come and brought them some toys. The childern were so overwhelmed with joy that they jumped out of there beds and ran to the toys. They tore open there presents one by one. Not knowing which one to play with first, they put them all together and played with each one.

Twas the Night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas when all threw the house the childern were filled with the Christmas spirit all around. We threw out some carrots for the reindeer to eat in case they were hungry and wanted a nice treat. We settled the childern down by watching a movie or two. Falling asleep thinking of Santa and his reindeer, too.

Santa Clause

Santa Clause

Me and my friend Amber wanted to have Santa Clause come and see each of our kids. He check his list and checked it twice and he found out that each of our kids were naughty that night. But he still came to our surprise. With a HO! HO! here and a Merry Christmas there. Santa arrived with such great cheer. The kids sat on his lap telling Santa of all there wishes and hoping that Santa really listen. The kids were feeled with excitement that night knowing that he would be coming in just 4 more nights.

Pondering about Christ-mas

As I ponder alot this year on the meaning of Christmas the song that help remind me of Christ is this Christmas Song that is by Shedaisy-How can I keep from singing.... This song is so beautiful it brings the spirit of Christmas right to my heart. He was born for us, he lived his life for us and he died for us so that we all could be with him. That was Christ salvation to us. What a wonderful gift.

27th Birthday

Girls helping me blow out my Candles!
Girls decorated it with Clint.

Birthday Cake

I know that this is a late up date but I wanted everyone know that I had an awesome birthday. Clint, Makayla and Kassidee decorated my cake. The girls put little flowers on each corner, gave me two necklaces that either had three rings or three hearts representing each one of them. Clint made me an awesome dinner, it was Chicken Cordon Blue. I'm thankful for my family and all that they did for me on this special day.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Grandpa's My Hero

I had went to Wal-mart and I had seen these shirts for five dollars, they say that Grandpa's my HERO! Both my girls adore there Grandpa's, I have yet to get a picture with there Grandpa Gayle but I'm sure that I will be posting them soon. Every little child needs there Grandparent's around because who would do the spoiling. I know that I certianly can't. Every chance that my girls get to go somewhere with there Grandpa's they are so filled with excitment. What joy it is to see the look on there face's as a mom. I know that in there Hearts they look up to there Grandpa's and say that Grandpa's MY HERO.( I have yet to see a shirt that is for Grandma's)

Thanksgiving Weekend

Whether it was playing outside, playing the Wii, watching movies, riding the 4-wheelers, going Christmas tree huntin', playing games, or just the enjoyment of not having to do anything at all. It definately is worth the time together.

I think that the women were there to slave. We did the cooking the cleaning and the watching of the kids, (most of the time)while the boys got to go play on there toys.

WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME!

Feeding the DUCKS

Feeding the Ducks

When Makayla was away at the cabin we decided to go feed the ducks at the Clinton Pond, man were they hungry they were almost attacking Kassidee and Clint. We ended up feeding them the whole loaf of bread but they still ended up chasing Clint and Kassi to the car. It was so funny. Kassi was scared to death that the ducks were going to eat her, she just started screaming mommy! mommy! Then the tears started to stream.

Hungry Dakota!

Hungry Dakota!

Me and Clint were preparing dinner for the night when all of a sudden Dakota reached for the french bread and just tried to eat the whole loaf herself. For many of you my little girls is only five months old. But when she decides that she is hungry, she is HUNGRY!

Roy Library

Roy Library

Today for Makayla's fieldtrip we went to the Roy Library. There was a guy that read the children books and play music. The kids enjoyed every minute there. Makayla got to play his guitar and then afterward they got to go play with all of the toys. I kept asking her if she wanted to go and she would tell me no. But eventually we cleaned up the toys and went on our way.

Mouse and Witch

Halloween Party's

Halloween Party's

As many of you know that I went backeast to see my sister. We had a Halloween Party everyone dress up and had a ball. Then when I arrive home to Utah Clint and I took the girls out to a trunk or treat. The girls got plenty of candy to last for months and boy are they excited.

Cookie Mess

We made sugar cookie one day before Halloween the girls helped me mix them. But after that they just would of rather play in the flour then with the dough.

SWEET DREAMS KASSIDEE!

Do you think that this girl was tired or what? We had her watching a movie one in the basement when we decided to go check on her she was dead asleep in her chair. As she fell deeper and deeper asleep the chair got further and further back and eventually she ended up falling out. But did she love the chair at the time.

The Patterson Mill

When I walked into that place I couldn't believe my eyes. The people that owned this place had saved all of this stuff for years. They had old bikes made out of wood, cigar boxes, old mixers, a shoe shine seat, old clothes washer, a butter churn, medicine cabinets, there was even an old dentist office. I don't think I'll ever forget this place it was amazing!

THE PATTERSON MILL

THE ADVENTURE OF USING THE GPS!

Boy without that little device I don't know where we would of ended up. But then again that thing sure could confuse a person. We would type in are destination of where we wanted to go and it would tell us. Then there were other times that thing would send us around a little bend that we didn't need to take or say that we were arriving at our destination on right/left which ever one sounded good at the time! Also, if you didn't end up taking the right exit it would tell you recalculating, recalculating, repeating it several times! I would have to admit the lady's voice on the GPS can get quite annoying! But it was a life saver.

The Beach

The waves were so enjoyable to watch. I got to sit down on the rocks and watch the rolling waves as they rushed up onto the beach, almost hitting all of us everytime. One time I was turned away talking to my parents about the seashell that I had just found when a wave came up and just soaked my shoes and my pants. Me just laughing and saying Oh, Great! I turned to my dad and said thanks for the warning! My pants eventually dry but my shoes definately were sloshing for days.

The Beach

STATE FAIR

State Fair

We went to the State Fair backeast thinking that it would be just like the one's in Utah but it was completely different. This thing was huge. When we all arrived there I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all the people and all the different rides there were. To me it looked like we were arriving at Lagoon. Walking threw the gates and seeing all the different food vendors we all decided later on that day that we wanted to try some of the deep fried foods, but man were we crazy. We ended up trying deep fried pickles, deep fried oreo's, deep fried snickers, deep fried cheesesticks. They don't sound the greatest but I will tell you the best thing that I tried was the deep fried oreo's and the deep fried pickles. I could eat those everyday! YUMMY!
As we were walking threw the State Fair they had a dancing Robot. He was so cool to watch the kids couldn't believe there eyes. He would have music playing and then he would do the jig! He was so COOL!
To be honest the thing that blew my mind the most was how many people were there. In order to get around we literally had to push our way threw the crowds to get to the other side. But I guess you could say that we survived the day and enjoyed every minute spent together.

Girls Day In North Carolina

On are girls day we went out shopping to the Outlets in Smithfield about a 45 minute trip from Julie's house. Let's just say that we shopped until we dropped! Time had went by so quickly that we didn't even eat lunch we grab some gold fish cracker and went on our way. What a lunch, HUH! By the time we were done we decide to call my dad up and meet him for dinner at the Mayflower.

The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Makayla had a field trip with her preschool to the Pumpkin Patch at J & J's, I decide that I wanted to take the girls with me. Kassidee got a little nervous seeing all the little kids there waiting for there classes to arrive. But she got over it and enjoy the rest of the time there. Makayla on the other hand kept on asking me "Mom, where is my teacher Stacey" and I would reply "I don't know." After a little while her teacher arrived with the rest of her students, Makayla was so excited. They got in the line waiting for there turn to ride on the hay ride out to the Pumpkin Patch. Once they got there they had so much fun trying to finding there own pumpkin, they kept on wanting more and more of them but I had to example to them that they only get one for each of them.

Having a good time...Hunting

Deer Hunt!

The Girls had a blast hanging out up on Monte Cristo while Daddy had to go looking for a deer. Luckily Clint shot a 2 by 3 on Aug. 30, 2008. We spent time playing games, hanging out by the fire and enjoyed each others company.

Dayz Gone By

Well we decide to start our own blog for the family and the friends that aren't around very often and always wondering how we are doing. Well the answer to that is that we are doing GREAT! Clint is enjoying his new job up on the base and loving his little girls. As soon as he walks threw the door the girls run up and give there Daddy a love. They are so excited! For Me many of you don't know that I had another little girl May 24, 2008 weighing 7lbs. 5oz. her name is Dakota and she is so precious. Life is a little crazy with three girls but I love every minute of it. I'm still working parttime for Impact Excavation and helping out with the things that need to be done. Makayla is now 4 and she started preschool September 2. She is loving every minute of it. She just learned to ride her bike without training wheels and she is so excited! She also, loves to sing but who knows what song she is singing because she just makes it up as she goes along. Kassidee is now 2 1/2 almost 3. She is always up to know good. If you never thought that a girl could get so messy well now you can see that she is my tomboy but then she likes to follow in her big sis's footsteps and be like a princess. She is outgoing and loves to play outside. Then there is Dakota she is almost 4 months old, she is always smiling, laughing, gooing, or sucking on her hole hand. She is trying to sit up all by herself and never wants to relax unless she is tired. I'll tell you one thing that it is not easy getting three girls ready in the morning but it is sure worth it to see them every morning with a smile on there face.
