Christmas 2010!!

We had such a great Christmas this year. We had so many fun parties that we went to. As you can see in some of the pictures we had a mechanical bull at one party and at the other we did Dancing with the stars. I must say good job to Jett he won the mirror ball trophy for doing the howkie-pokie dance! I kinda think they favored him because whats cuter than a little kid dancing right?? It was so much fun and I'm so glad we got to spend time with our families and friends. Santa spoiled us all again. The boys got a trampoline, and mini sleds from there grandparents. Grandmas and Grandpas seem to go crazy at Christmas, I told them that I didn't think Santa needed to leave my kids anything because they spoil them rotten. The best news we got for Christmas is that my brother and his wife and going to have a baby!!!! Whitt is 4 months along and they have kept is a secret from us, I can't believe them!! We are all so excited and looking forward to having a new little baby in the family!! Hope you all had a happy holiday and are looking forward to a new year right around the corner!

Birthday Boy!!

I can't believe our little Nash is two years old already!! Time just seems to slip by so fast. We had a little party for Nash before all the holiday celebrations started. I try to make sure we make his birthday a big deal it being so close to christmas and all. Poor guy!! We love our Nasher more than anything. He is the happiest kid to be around, always having a smile on his face. Some things Nash does at 2 years old:
Feeds himself
Likes to drink out of a cup
Sleeps all night from 8p.m. to 8a.m.
Still takes naps during the day
Loves his Dad and Grandpa
Loves all animals
Loves to take baths
His favorite word for the moment is Nasty
Can talk very well and say pretty much anything
Very fast little runner
He can entertain himself and play for hours
Loves to watch people
Can be very stubborn
Has the cutest smile
When he wants something he wants it now!!
Loves his brother and copies everything he does
Loves to eat poppers aka --popcorn
Makes everyone happy
We are so blessed to have Nash in our lives, and for him to be healthy and happy. I'm so grateful for the things that he teaches me everyday. Yes there are days that I want to pull my hair out, but the good days always out weigh the bad. Happy Birthday Nash!!!

Winter is here

I think winter is here!!! The older I have got the more I dislike the winter months. I dread all the snow, icy roads, cold air, and all the clothes you have to put on to go out in it. It seems like we started off this winter with a big bang unfortunately. I just can't believe how nasty the weather has been already, I think we are in for a long winter!! Since we have so much snow we decided it was time to dust off the old sleds and go sledding. Jett loved sledding, and was yelling yeeha as we pulled him around the yard. Nash liked it for the first little while, then he just wanted to ride on the 4-wheeler and watch Jett. Which I don't totally blame him, I would be a little scared riding on the sled with Jett too!!
My mom, Kale, my grandma, my sister-in-law, and I all got together and made candy one day. It was so much fun to just have a girls day of cooking. We each brought a recipe and made it, then shared what we had to make plates up for neighbors and friends. We made fudge, candy cane pizza, muddy buddies, Louisiana pralines, and taffy. We had such a great time, and those are the memories you will keep with you forever!! Thanks all of you for such a fun day!
We had our ward party the other night and Jett was so excited to see Santa. He was the first one to run up and get in line. Nash was excited tell he actually got up to Santa then the tears started to fly. He wasn't sure what to think of the big guy in the red suit. We are looking forward to the next few weeks; yummy food, parties, family, friends, and remembering what Christmas is really all about!! We hope you all are having a happy holiday season also!!!!
