Oh what fun

These two silly kids love to have tape on their mouths.  It is so funny that they love it because I don't mind it at all either.  Ha ha.  It is so quiet for a few minutes when they put it on.  

These two are such great little friends. Max is starting to really copy Adi in everything that she does.  He loves do be a big boy and keep up with her. 

More tape fun. 

I swear my bathtub is used more as a hot tub.  Lizzy and her friend helped me paint her room and they got a little out of control with the paint and needed a bath.  

I was at Lexy's came and when I got home this is who greeted me at the door.  I loved it.  He put the boots and the mask on himself and was so proud.  

Max had to have all the balls in the car.  He is such a hoarder.  

Selfie time

Ryan and I were able to go and see the Star wars movie here in Preston.  It was a great hot date except it was in the cold and in the snow.... 

Brytlee has had her finger in her mouth for the past month wiggling this tooth around and she will not even let me come close to it because one time I just gave one a little push and it came out and so now she has trust issues.  go figure. 

I don't know if it is a boy thing or what but this little boy loves to put things over his head.  Bags and whatever he can find.  It freaks me out when I see him trying to put plastic bags over his head. 

My little helper.  She is starting to try and clean.  She is a little stinker when it comes to picking up but she is so fast and great at getting everything out.  I don't know how she does it most of the time. 

Alexis is playing Church ball and Ryan was asked to coach.  It is good practice for her and they didn't do to bad.  Max is so cute hanging out with his daddy and just watching the ball.  He is such a daddy's boy.  

Playing

I found a couple dressy dresses at a thrift store for 5 bucks and I knew Adison would love them.  She is such a princess and loves to dress up and look beautiful.  She is such a happy girl and is always laughing and smiling.  I hope that never changes. 

I am so lucky to get to stay home with these two.  There is so much that they do during the day that is so priceless that only I get to see.  I am so thankful to be a mom. 

We went to the jump zone for Jackson's birthday party and it was a ton of fun.  The kids had a great time playing dodge ball and so did Chase and Ryan.  I should have played but I thought that I needed to keep a eye on Max.  

My baby is 2

Happy Birthday to my baby boy.  He turned two and was such a fun boy to spoil.  He loves donuts so I made sure to go and buy him one for his birthday.  I bought one with frosting on top and that was a bad idea.  He ate it all fast and then had stuff on his hands.... so he rubbed it in his hair and all over his outfit.  Oh well, It is his party he can do what he wants right. 

He was so excited to open his presents and opened them all by himself.  

He loved his talking dusty plane.  Ryan had seen it in one of the Kings when he was working on their lights but didn't buy it.  So to find that dang plane was a lot of work.  I ended up having to have the one he saw shipped to the Kings in Preston.  

Max was in love with his ball cake.  He is such a boy

We practiced blowing out the candles but he was blowing the wind up his nose instead of out in front of him so he had a hard time blowing them out.  It was so funny. 

Blow and blow and blow.  Ha ha

I swear some times the kids really do like the box better than they like the toy huh.  

After we opened presents we went swimming as a family and it was a lot of fun.  I love my family so much and I am so thankful for each one of my children.  It has been so much fun the past two years with a boy in our family and he is always making us smile and laugh.  I love watching the girls all play with him and he loves all his sisters so much.  He gets so happy when they come home from school and gets so excited to see them.  Max is growing like a little weed and is wearing three and four T clothing.  He is so big for his age that a few people look at him like..... why don't you talk very good... aren't you like four or five.  They don't realize that he is still my baby and only two.  Ha ha.  He will always be my baby if he is my last I am sure.  Even when he is five he will still be my little baby boy.  

We were reading scriptures and Max was playing with his airplane.  It was so dang cute listening to his little vvvvvrrrrrrr sounds and watch him play.  He is so different than my girls and is just such a boy.  He loves to play with his cars and trucks and balls and boy toys.  

I LOVE this picture of my twin boys.  

Alexis my little beauty.  Love her eye's in this picture.   

Duck face

My mom sent all the girls a necklace that is so cute.  It says I love you to the moon and back and has a moon on it.  The girls all love them.  

While I was in Idaho Falls Greg gave me a bag of handmedowns and we found this jacket in it.  I was so excited because I remember wearing this Jacket when I was little.  I loved it and would wear it every day.  I loved playing pretend in it outside and would play for hours by myself pretending to be a cowboy or a indian.  I had a great childhood!  

I bought this old dresser a few years ago at a yard sale for $5 bucks.  I have not had a place for it until now.  I refinished it to put it in Elizabeths new room and I am so excited how it turned out.  I will show a after picture soon.  

I got all the rooms downstairs primed and ready to paint.  It feels like it isn't very big so I was very surprised when it took 15 gallons of primmer to get the job done.  

I am so ready for the basement rooms to be done and get them all put together.  Elizabeth has been waiting for a long time and she keeps asking when it is going to be done.  If only you could just snap your fingers and have it done that would be amazing. 

Idaho Falls trip

It is so crazy to go to Idaho Falls now.  Annette and Rob bought my parents house and they are now making it their own.  I helped her get a bunch of stuff put away, and put out some of her things.  We have painted a bunch and it is starting to get to where she wants it.  It is hard not having the extra house to go stay at when we go visit so now but when my parents get home they are going to have a amazing new house that will have room for us to crash.  It was funny when I went to visit when I walked it Rob said, "hey your wearing Annettes shirt."  Then a few minutes later annette came out in her twin shirt.  Ha ha  Twinning is winning 

It is so crazy to see Summer getting so old.  She is so fun to hang out with and she is going to graduate this year and is trying to figure out what she wants to do after that.  It seems like she was just a baby not that long ago...

Annette and I drove Brad to the airport.  He was going to a football game in Arizona and was taking the Jet  They look so shinny and new.  Lucky duck

While I was home I was able to go to my cousins wedding.  They looked adorable and young.... It feels like it wasn't that long ago that Ryan and I were in their place but nooooo  that was almost 16 years ago.  Crazy.

More selfie's 

Funnies

Adison has said a few things that are so funny.  We were just talking and she was saying that Brytlee was trying to scare her and telling her there were ghosts and zombies so she said, "mom, are ghostes real?"  I told her no.  Then she say's, "well isn't the holy ghost real?"  So then I said yes.  She said, "well you see, ghosts are real mom."  We had a little talk to help her understand the difference and she was like.... duuuh I know mom. 

The other night Alexis was being mean to lizzy and I said, "oh Lexy, you are such a nice sister."  Then Adison laughs and says "no she's not"  It was so funny the way she said it.  Alexis may need to rethink how she treats her sisters.....

Adison is always saying such funny things.  She is in such a funny age and is just full of life and fun. I really do love all the different stages my kids have gone through.
