Snippets of my Kids

Kya started primary at the beginning of the year and she is the cutest Sunbeam there ever was! I am always told that she is so cute and good, and sings all the songs, she sings constantly at home so that is no surprise. I love her stories she comes up with and that she is able to tell me things that happened when I wasn't there and then I know what she's done without me. She is such a good, obedient girl, and has been doing so good in Sacrament Meeting she will sit most of the time and sing all the songs. She is really getting so big! A few things that I just absolutely love about her is that she will start telling me a story and most of them start with "Mom, when I was a little girl in the forest..." or "My Grandma always loves..." this one is usually followed by something that no one would do but according to her, her Grandma does it. And everything that happened in the past happened "yesterday". I love this girl with my whole heart and she so sweet!

Baden is the cutest boy in the whole world, Preston and I wish that we could bottle him up just the way he is and take him out later down the road and play with the 2 year old Baden. One of the many cute things that he does is that he will get out of his bed (NOT my favorite thing) but then when I put him back in bed, I'll tell him to sing himself a song and IMMEDIATELY he will start singing "I am a Child of God" oh it's so sweet to here him sing that song all by himself. He doesn't say no anymore it's always "no way!" And when you ask him "How are you?" he'll answer, "I'm Baden". We always know how he's feeling because he announces it throughout the day such as "I'm mad" or "I'm HAPPY see!" He doesn't want your help unless he asks for it and believe me he with let you know either way. He loves monsters, dragons, dinosaurs, and lions and every movie that has any of the above. I love that he is a cuddly kid and still lets me love on him. I love him the world over again.

Very First Movie

... in the movie theater that is. On Saturday we took the kids to their very first movie in the theater. We went to the dollar movies and saw Despicable Me! The kids had so much fun and were glued to it the whole time. We brought lunch, popcorn, and jellybeans (Baden's current favorite thing). When the movie ended Baden wanted more, he asked for "nuther un". It was a fun day out.



After the movie we went up to the pet store to see the animals. And then they ran around outside for a while.

New Years

For New Years we stayed home and had fun with the kids. Preston went out and got some fireworks. We started celebrating at about 8:30 so the kids could go to bed.





The kids loved the sparklers, a 2 year old and a 3 year old don't have the concept of staying at a safe distance from the other so I stopped taking pictures after a bit.




It was so cold that night that we were freezing by the end of the fireworks so we came in and drank hot coco. The kids both had the prettiest beanie hair.


I love hot coco!

And Preston didn't know why I was making him take a "hot chocolate picture" but at least he worked the camera!




Happy New Year!

Park FUN!

We have been having fun at the playgrounds lately.


Baden figured out how to go up the big boy way. Yes he is 2 and thinks he is just as big as everyone else!





Feeding the ducks



TRAIN!


They made us call out ALL ABOARD before we started and Baden called it out almost the whole time!
