Randall Reunion

We all had fun last weekend at the Randall Reunion, where we got to "cowboy up" and have some fun with family.

Started with an egg hunt.

And on to the rodeo!

My mother-in-law or mamma-law was a Randall. (She's the third from the left)

Siblings and spouses

Chick chase, our kids didn't get a chick and were sorely disappointed!

It was fun to see all the boys wrestling them bulls!

This horse had been bucking people off all day and I wasn't too hopeful for this race, the Grocery Race... where 3 riders get on bareback and pick up a watermelon, egg, and a cup of water. Preston now knows how it feels to have a horse roll over you, luckily it was just his leg.

Then for the footraces, these are bragging rights for the next 5 years and are taken pretty seriously!

Who knew I could still take a race--pregnant, in a skirt, and bare foot!

Preston takes second but that's after having a bull stick him in the leg and then a horse roll over it!

And the kids just don't care!

Fun day!

Little News

Well I guess I should let everyone in blog-land in on our little secret (it's quite obvious if you've seen me lately). We are super excited that tiny number 3 is on it's way! This is what our little one looks like right now. Crown to rump measures about 2 and 1/2 inches, and is about the size of a plum.

We should be able to find out in May if it's a HE or a SHE

How I Told Preston

Here is how I let Preston in on the secret, I kept it for the whole morning through the afternoon and into the evening! After dinner I ask if Preston wants some blueberry muffins... the answer is always yes, it's one of his favorites!

So I nonchalantly make some muffins, sink a baby in one of the muffins and bake.

Making sure that the one with a baby is the one I give Preston. I sit down and pretend to not be jumping up and down inside as he takes bites. Finally he looks inside his muffin to see something sticking out of it... a little baby foot.

He comes over to me and asks, "What it that?"

"I don't know what is that?"

He pulls it all the way out and asks again, "What is that?"

"You tell me what is that?"

He catches onto the game... "Really... really?"

Walking for Muscular Dystrophy

On Saturday we went down to Tempe Town Lake to walk for Aulton, who is my friend's little boy. It was a 5k walk and Baden RAN about half of it! Baden even kept his underwear dry the whole time!

Baden was in heaven the pigeons weren't scared of people and it made them really fun to try to catch.

After the walk a very nice lady gave us cupcakes the kids enjoyed them lots!

Look Who's Potty Trained!

Baden is 2 years and 3 months and is totally and completely potty trained! He HATES being put in a diaper and throws the biggest fits over his "underwears". In the mornings I used to be woke up by a little whisper saying, "I want cereal with milk" now it's "Have underwears on me?" He will even have a pair of underwear in hand ready to go at 6:30 in the morning!

His favorite thing in the whole world is jelly beans so that is the treat when he goes poo. And he is super good at it now.

Such a cute big boy!

Movies

We went and saw Tangled in 3D last week and it was SO cute! Our kids left their glasses on the whole time and sat through the whole thing! They thought it was super cool. It was fun to look over and see them grinning and reaching out to touch things during the movie! I can't imagine not watching it in 3D. It was super good!

Aren't my kids the cutest things ever! Well I think so!

1, 2, 3-4!

I declare Preston's Birthday! We had a fun date for Preston's big day, went to Chevy's and got a free meal, dessert, and hat!

They even set up balloons for his birthday!

Preston was feeling really festive with his hat and thought this should have been his car for the night.

Then we went and picked up his free Krispy Kremes, and evidently you just need a sombrero to get free doughnuts!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Butterfly Birthday

HAPPY VALENTINE'S

THESE SILLIES MUSTACHE YOU A QUESTION...

WILL YOU BE OUR VALENTINE!

AND KISSES FROM KYA!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

A Sleepy Mess

Baden has been sick for a while now, one day I just couldn't take it anymore and took the kids to Target for a while we went with pockets full of quarters so that we could get a cookie at the end. We got in the car and the kids finished them there... Well Baden didn't quite finish his cookie!

It was the cutest thing watching him take sleepy bites and finally fall asleep with cookie everywhere!

To Infinity and Beyond!

I just know you are wondering if my kids still jump off things... the answer is YES! They find anything to jump off of ANYWHERE! This is at Grandma and Grandpa Stapley's house.

Proof

Here is proof that I stand like a flamingo! Preston thinks it's really weird and when he catches me he calls me his one leg wife!

This is how I stand while I'm blogging (if the computer is hooked up to the TV which that's pretty much all the time.) while I'm putting my makeup on, while I'm chopping vegetables, or any time really that I'm just standing near something. I don't know when it started and I don't even realize I'm doing it most of the time, but it must be comfortable to me.
