Santa visit 2009

This year when we took the kids to see Santa I knew Koley, and Bentley wouldn't love it, but I have a picture of the kids with Santa every year and can't pass it up! These are going to be the fun ones to look back on:) Bentley did OK until Koley started screaming. Kayden stayed looking at the camera, and Nilson thought it was so funny:)

Here is a picture without the screaming, and all of them looking at the camera! Well sorta:) Merry Christmas everyone!

Koleys haircut...

Well I chopped Koleys hair the other day. I ended up doing it myself, since I don't live buy my hair dresser cousins anymore, I new she wouldn't let a stranger she didn't know do it so with Kayde buy my side I did it. It is allot shorter but she loves it! Mandy, LeeAnne don't look to close:)!

Child for sale...

Koley did her very own makeup today, can you tell:) She is for sale, any takers? Little stinker!!!

Bentley has the craziest hair, we just cut it for the 3rd time! The 1st time Aunt Raynie did it them the 2nd time Nana did, I could not handle it any more, I couldn't even wait for Kayde to help so I did it myself, well with Koleys help:) It is so hard to get pictures of this kid so this is the best I could get.

Halloween 2009...

This year we had a great Halloween, the kids were able to dress up twice this year and loved that. Nilson would live in his costume if I let him, Bentley not so much he didn't love his to be a bee!

The 24th we had our ward Trunk or Treat, and then went out Trick or Treating on Halloween, they now have WAY more candy then they need over a lifetime! I even told them I would pay them $$$ if I could have it, then I could go through it and keep the chocolate for me, and throw out the rest! They didn't love that idea. I hate having all this candy Koley thinks she can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! When I tell her NO she says, "but mom I love candy, I need to eat it cause its SOOOOO good!"

This year we had a Devil, Angel, Power Ranger, and a Bumble Bee, they all looked great and loved there costumes. Kayden and Koleys favorite part was getting their makeup, and Nilson loved his blue hair! He didn't want to wash it out, silly boy!

I can't believe that Halloween is over! This year has gone so fast! I wish time would slow down!!! My kids are getting to big and I am getting older:( Sometimes I wish I could freeze the time!Hope everyone had a good Halloween!

Such a boy!

Koley did this pose buy herself. It was so funny she said, "Mom this is how Angels are supposed to look." lol Yes she is deceiving in this costume:)


Like I said before, he was not crazy about his costume so it was hard to any pictures of him! This picture Kayden was standing behind me trying to get him to laugh, and from his face you can tell he was scared of her, it was pretty funny:)


I am so sad I don't have my camera, taking them with my cell phone they don't turn out very well but they will have to do until I can get my camera, sorry they are pretty fuzzy.

Random stuff...

Last week we went to a fall festival, it was so fun, the weather was great, and they had some fun stuff, They had the coolest stuff that the kids could play on that were made by the Amish, they loved them!

I had so much fun going to games with you mom and dad, thanks again for putting up with us for so long love you! xoxoxo

*Thanks Denver and Megan for the pictures!

Bentley 6 months...

Bentley is just a few days over 6 months. I can't believe how time has flown, he has been so much fun since he is a little older and not so fussy! He is starting to sit up and will sit there for quite awhile until big sister comes around and thinks she needs to help and... well the pictures explain. He doesn't crawl any where he rolls, and is pretty good at it, he gets were he wants to go, I am a little worried he may never crawl! I don't know how much he weights he hasn't had his 6 month checkup with the move and everything, but at his 4 months he was over 16 lbs so he isn't tiny! Now if he would just start sleeping through the night!

Thanks sis!

We made it

We made it to Ohio, and are loving it, it is beautiful, and I have a husband back! I love the area, there is everything, but it has the small town feeling. Here are some pictures we took driving around yesterday.

The kids feeding the ducks out our back door at the apartment, there is alligators in the pond just ask Koley:) We have to scare her from the water some how or she would be swimin, just a little scary, but the kids love looking out at the ducks and Canadian geese, that kayden thinks are swan. The temperature is cold today, it has been in the 70s and 80s, but the day we come it drops to the 50s. Fall is in the air.

Today was the kids first day of school. They were excited, and nervous. But they are now home and both met new friends and had a great day, they love their teachers and are excited to go tomorrow:)

Don't mind Koley in this picture, I don't know what she is doing!?

I don't have my camera charger so I have to use my phone, so my pictures aren't the best.

Happy Birthday Koley...

Yesterday was Koleys 3rd birthday. I can't believe she is 3! She is such a fun girl, and she just makes us laugh all the time. She is such a good big sister to Bentley, and thinks she is his little mother. She misses her daddy, and can't wait to see him next week. Everyday she ask when we are going on the airplane with daddy?! She can't wait, and neither can I:)
We love you so much Koley!!!
