New Things

TJ and I have been telling our children to try new things and that they might like them. K'Lee and Addison both freak out when we go and do something that they have never tried. There is a lot of crying and more crying. We have taken them ice skating a couple of times and starting with K'Lee the first time she cried the entire time we were there. As we contined she has gotten better and now likes to go Ice Skating this time we went she even went around holding just my hand and she thought that was pretty cool. Addison last year cried the entire time we skated this year she went around as long as someone was right behind her by the end of the night she was going around by herself. Tucker loved being in the stroller and being pushed this is where the first time comes in. At the end of the night and we were getting everybody ice skates off and shoes on Tucker was climbing onto the bench and slipped and fell off and cut his eye. So off to the emergency room for stitches for Tucker I think this might be the start of emergency room visits with him.

Another new thing we did was take the girls skiing, now remember how on new thing the girls cry and cry some more and there is a lot of drama in our household. So I did not say anything to them about skiing until the night before. I also went with another lady in our ward who takes her girls a lot so I figured with them telling mine how fun it would be there would be less drama. K'Lee was nervous there was no crying Addison was excited the whole way up. I was very happy that there was no drama. After we got the equipment that is when Addison started crying she did not want anything to do with the helmet at all. K'Lee on the other hand put on her ski's and down the hill she went before the ski instructor. She loved it until we went down Little Beaver and then the crying came into effect she cried the whole way down the hill ( Lovely). By this point I was thinking they are never going to want to come again, very sad for me, I wanted them to enjoy it as much and TJ and I did and still do. After a little snack and drink K'Lee told me she wanted to go back out and stay on the Bunny Hill, Addison did not so my friend and her girls took K'Lee back out and I watched from the Lodge with Addison and I watch my seven year old get braver and braver and when I went back out to help her up the hill. She had a huge smile on her face and told me "Mommy I want to come back and do it again." Addison even told TJ that she wanted to try again. So see first things are great adventures.

Holiday Madness

The title says it all. It was madness this year I have never felt so not ready for the Holidays then I did this year. It was fun and we made many new memories to remember and will want to continue on. We visted Temple square with friends and stayed at a hotel and swam and just had fun. We had our many family Christmas party and enjoyed seeing family and visiting with them and catching up. Celebrated Christ Birth what could get better than that. I love listening to the story and the feelings that I have during this time of year yes it was madness but a great madness.

A Note

K'Lee came home from school the other day and came over to me and said "mom what does it mean if you get a note from school." I looked at her and replied " what kind of note", she smiled and goes from a boy" I said "what do you mean a boy from school" I thinking you are to young to get a note from a boy and awwww how cute is that. She was very fast to reply he was just being nice to me, I was well I am glad he is being nice what does the note say. I took a picture so you can see for yourself and that I can keep her first note from a boy. She is going to kill me when she grows up and sees this. But come on awwww how cute is that she got a not from a boy.

Veteran's Day

K'Lee's school put on a Veteran's day program for all the Veteran's in our county and for the families of the National Guard that just got deployed to Iraq. So I went and watched it made my heart swell with pride and love for all that these men and women have done or are doing for our country(yes there was tears in the eye because I am mushy about that kinda stuff). K'Lee was sooo excited that she got to sing for her Grandpa Boyd and for the rest of the Veteran's of the county she told me "mom I am proud to do this because they helped keep us safe." I am so glad that she gets that and understands that. I have pictures but the lighting was messed up so you can't tell who or what is happening. Sorry!!

Tucker

I haven't post a lot about this little man of mine, but all I can say is mass destructor, this little boy can completely destroy a room in a minute flat, and loves doing it when he is done he is very proud of his handy work. He will proudly come find one of us with a big grin and take us by the hand and lead us to his art work whether it's in the kitchen, bedroom,bathroom or living room it has been seen by Tucker. He also will help clean up the mess so I can't complain most times all I or TJ do is shake our head and start picking up. He has also learned to climb on things I have found him on the washer and dryer, kitchen counter, bathroom counter and the table if he can push things up to the item he wants to climb he does it, he has also used the drawers in the kitchen to climb up on. He is the most lovable kid loves to snuggle with us and gives great hugs and kisses. He loves hanging out with Grandpa Boyd or Grandpa B if he gets hurt and is around one of them prefers them over Mom. He loves his sisters when Addison comes home from preschool he will run up to her and give her the biggest hug. He will watch for the bus when K'Lee comes home and greets her with kisses and hugs. I love the time that I get to spend with just him he love telling me stories and snuggling and reading books with me. We sure love this little man of ours even with the messes and climbing heart attacks.

Halloween Fun

We had some fun activies for Halloween starting with gutting out the pumpkins Tucker loved the whole messy part, even the girls really got into it this year., school Halloween parties, and dance Halloween parties kicked off the week. Then trunk or treat which was fun. Where we were in our church parking lot the girls got to with a friend around the parking lot I was a couple of people behind them but I think it made them feel all big and cool.

Ouch, Ouch

So I have been in a slump with my running and my exercising and have been wondering how I could shake it up a bit. Well I found the way CROSS FIT is all I can say I was feeling pretty good about myself the last two days of the CROSS FIT will today was the day. I have be soooo sore and just to pick up the kids is pain in the arms. Today I loved that my kids kissed my legs better for me. I just needed to complain I know it will help with my running and the slump so CROSS FIT here I am.
