Ouch!

Carter was outside bouncing a piece of plastic

pipe off the ground and it came back up and

smacked him luckily under his eye. It was the

biggest bump I had ever seen when he walked

in, then for days after had the worst black eye.

The kids at school thought it was cool!

This doesn't do it justice, i didn't get a

picture the day is eye was the darkest.

It changed every color imaginable!

Ice Cream Date

They were in a weird mood and

wanted to make silly faces.

They loved Spoon Me!

Healthy, yummy and they

don't know its not ice cream.

Changing Baby Room to Play Room!

Sam thinks this painting stuff is pretty cool

and especially the getting messy part.

Carter was a big help, he couldn't wait

to get that room finished.

Yeah!

All done!

That was more work then we thought it

would be, but worth it. The kids love it!

Christmas Morning

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

The boys woke up this morning and were

so excited it snowed. They couldn't wait

to get warm clothes on and run outside.

Snow in Ivins is so beautiful! I still have

not been able to see the red mountain through

all the clouds yet today, but I'm sure when I do

it will be pretty.

As soon as the kids came in and stripped off all

their cold wet clothes, they were ready for some

hot chocolate to warm them back up. Yum!

Carter & Drayben's Birthday

Birthday breakfast for Carter!

The kids love doing this the morning of their birthdays.

We did chocolate chip pancakes just this morning for

Drayben's Birthday, but didn't get a picture.

PIRATE ISLAND PIZZA

This is where Carter wanted to celebrate his

6th birthday with his friends and brothers.

Grandma didn't leave Sam out of

getting new pajamas too, even though

it wasn't his birthday. Carter and Sam

share the same love for p.j.'s.

Family came over to celebrate Carter and

Drayben's birthdays. They got lots of great

gifts and we got to eat some yummy cake!

BOWLING!!!

Drayben wanted to go to dinner and and bowling

for his 13th birthday with a friend, dad and mom.

Dicken's Festival

Grandma was so cool to get their faces painted!

The kids told Santa what they wanted,

then got a candy cane. It was the

highlight of their day. Except for

Drayben, I had to beg him to get

in the picture.
