Updates

Not alot has been going on at our hosue. The weather pretty much keeps me at home. I HATE driving in snowy, or even wet weather, so I pretty much don't go out unless I absolutely have to. I did get to go on a filedtrip with Adisyn's preschool. We went to the library. It was a lot of fun. Luckily I didn't have Jace so I was able to enjoy Adi and the other kids. It was short, only 45 minutes, but really cute and the kids had a good time. I forgot my camera so I took this one with my phone, but as we were taking the tour this is what I saw infront of me. She is something else!! This is her friend Easton, she LOVES him!!


Jace is getting so fun, he is a handful, but so much fun! He absolutley love "burlow"(that is what Jace calls Brayden) Brayden is rarely home,or if he is he is hardley ever alone but he is so good to most the time let Jace play with him and his friends, and Jace just can't get enough of him! Brayden is a good big brother he recognizes that Jace loves him and wants to play with him, so when he comes home after being with his friends all day he is so cute with Jace. Here they are just playing before bedtime.

Just a note incase I forget to write it down Jace says "ay" for yes. We have no idea where he got it from and are not sure if he thinks he's a pirate or what? It took me awhile to catch on to what he was saying, because he kind of says Adi like that, but we finally figured that is how he says yes. Too funny! He also yesterday came up to me with his 2 hands made into fists and said "wanna bite?" and started punching my legs. All I could do was laugh, he is so crazy!!

Adisyn's 4!!

Yesterday was Adi's birthday. I can't believe she is already 4, she is growing up so fast and becoming such a big independent girl. We kind of made the whole weekend a celebration for her and partied Saturday and Sunday. I was planning to have a birthday party for her on Sunday, but since it was suppose to snow my parents weren't sure if they would be able to come, and since it was ok Saturday afternoon they came down Saturday instead to celebrate. Saturday night we went to Cobblestone Cafe for dinner and then back to our house for presents and cake. Since my parents were here we let her open some of her presents Saturday. She got a Sleeping Beauty castle, sleeping bag, gigantic coloring book, dress, scarf, and the singing Sharpay from High School Musical 2.


We lit the candles on her cake, but didn't cut the cake till her actual birthday. Julianne made the darling cake and Adi absolutely loved it! Thanks Julianne!! When I got the cake out she asked if she could hold the barbie's hand.

Since she got a sleeping bag the kids wanted to have a sleepover downstairs so I set up their giraffe tent for them and they slept down in the living room. No Jace is not alseep, I wish!

Sunday was her actual birthday and because of the weather no one came except my sister. It turned out ok because we just hung out and had a quite little party with us which was fun! We let her open the rest of her presents and she got Barbie Island princess dress for her, muscial carriage and horse for the barbies, snow white crown, lip gloss, Belle doll, coloring book and crayons. I'd say she made out quite well. It isn't a bad thing to have a birthday right after Christmas because everything is on sale!! Thanks to everyone who came and for all the presents, she had a great day! We are so glad you are a part of our family Adi. We love you so much!!

Sledding, Christmas #2 & Temple Square

Friday BJ took the kids sledding. We were all going to go, but Jace was alseep when it was time to go, so I stayed home with him. BJ said it was a good thing we didn't go because it was so cold he didn't think Jace would have lasted. I was surprised they lasted as long as they did(2hours). I asked BJ to take the camera and get some.
pictures, but he would not so this is the only one I got of the sledding(thanks Beej!)

Saturday my inlaws came over so we could have our Christmas with them. We always do Christmas with them a few days after and it has become a fun and highly looked forward to tradition on our house. I always do a lunch or dinner and we eat, open presents and hang out. We all got spoiled as usual and had a good time being together. Adi got a darling trunk with princess dress up clothes, Brayden got a fun dinosaur board game, and Jace got some mega blocks along with various other things. Thanks guys for coming and for all the presents!

After our second Christmas with the John's we went to Temple Square to see the lights. We decided to ride trax in, and the kids thought that was just wonderful. They all did good on the trip in and got a little crazy on the way back, but we had a very good time! We met my mom, dad, Kevin, Shalene, & Jef at the Training Table and then all rode trax over to Temple Square. It was very cold and snowing so we walked kind of fast, but had a good time and didn't miss our tradition of seeing the lights this year!
