O Christmas Tree!

I took the tree up to Idaho this past weekend and the kids had a lot of fun decorating it (I think Eric enjoyed it just as much!). It has been a lot of fun to do these things as a family. Unfortunally I left my camera home so these pictures were taken from my camera phone.

The 4th of 4th

I saw this fun "tag" on friend's blog, and even though she didn't tag me, I'm going to do it anyway. Afterall, I don't really have anything else to share at the moment.

This is a picture of me this past August in Lake Powell with some friends of mine. Although there were many kids there and mine were not there (they were with their dad), I had a nice time. I am on the boat holding Landon (something I did a lot of). The weather was really nice. I love boating and soaking up the sun! :)

So here's what you do. Choose the 4th photo file on your computer and then the 4th picture in that file and tell about it. Kinda fun! :) Btw, I tag all of you! lol

Coleman riding his bike!

He is just so excited about it so I thought I would share it!!!

The other night I told Coleman that it was time to learn to ride a "big boy" bike. I was also really mean and told him I would not take the training wheels off HIS
bike until he learned. So he picked up Mackenzie's old bike and took off. Luckily I was sitting there with the camera so I could take some pictures. When Mackenzie was young (only 1 1/2 years ago), Curt and Dorisann had to bribe her with money to learn it the "big girl" way! She got all excited to get money and she got on the bike and literally took off riding! It was like she knew what she was doning (granted she was 7 years old!)
I was not prepared for her to do that so I didn't even have the camera with me! Needless to say, I now have 2 big kids riding big kid bikes!
I also found this picture of my sweet older sister, Jeannie trying to teach me ride my big girl banana seat bike back in 1982. I was 5 years old. It must have been on a Saturday because we both have curlers in our hair and we always had curly hair for Sundays! Also something that is kind of fun, is that all of these pictures were taken on the same street! I would like to say that all 3 of us became "big kids" on the same street, but when Mackenzie learned, we were at our friends house out in Tooele....(Thanks again Curt & Dorisann!)

Sugar & Spice Vs Puppy dog tails

(Does he think he is going rock climbing w/ spring and chain and then throwing the yellow ball and fly down w/ his one wing?)



Ok, so we all know that there are differences in boys and girls. Ya know....Sugar and spice and everything nice. That is what little girls are made of. And Snails and puppy dog tails. That is what little boys are made of. Well after Mackenzie took it upon herself to sort the laundry I put my book down (Breaking Dawn. Yeah, I know I am a little late at reading it, but I have been extremly busy) and started the wash. After going through all the pockets, this is what I found. That yellow ball is not gum or candy. It is a PAINT BALL!




(Is she getting all prettied up so that she can go get a scoop of ice cream w/ her Baskin Robins tasting spoon? That little tiny thing is the hook that goes on the end of a necklace. Why do you think she is saving that? Not only that, but the last time I can remember going to Baskin Robins is EARLY summer when they had 31 cent ice cream and I KNOW I have done laundry since then. hmmmmm)
