JUST A FEW RANDOM PICTURES! :)

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A LONG DAY OF CRYING KIDS! YOU JUST LET THEM DO ANYTHING THEY WANT!!

BRITTON WANTED IN ON THE FUN- WHAT'S NEW??!!

SUCH HANDSOME BOYS!- THEY WERE WATCHING THE DOG RUN THROUGH THE SNOW

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! THIS IS TYPICAL 'B'- HE WANTED TO GO OUTSIDE- I WAS BUSY WORKING- SO HE DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION! PRETTY GOOD OUTFIT DON'T YOU THINK??!! (AT LEAST HE HAD HIS UNDERWEAR ON!!!)

WHAT A STUD!

KASER LOVES- LOVES- LOVES THIS DOG! HE ALWAYS TRIES TO SIT RIGHT ON HER, AND CUDDLE BY HER! IT IS SO FUNNY TO WATCH HIM SITUATE HIMSELF!

OK- JUST FOR THE RECORD- I DO FEED MY KIDS!!!-ONE MORNING I WAS WORKING AND I THOUGHT- IT IS REALLY QUIET! THAT IS A CLUE THAT 'B' IS UP TO SOMETHING!!- SO I WAS LOOKING- MORE LIKE SHOUTING HIS NAME TRYING OT FIND HIM- AND HE MUMBLES- KASER'S ROOM! I WALK IN AND HE IS IN THE CORNER EATING A SMALL (YA- RIGHT!) PIECE OF GARLIC CHEESE BREAD! ALL HE SAID TO ME WAS- ' I WAS HUNGRY MOM!!' GOTTA LOVE IT!! :o

Give me an E--L--M---O!!!!!!

So.... Today I took the boys to My Gym Open house.... it is a gym place for kids- Britton LOVED it!! you can climb, jump, dance, jump, run, run, run!!! It is Great!! I wish I had some extra money lying around so I could pay for my kids to have supervised fun!! :)



Britton missed his afternoon nap, and he wouldn't let me take this cookie from him!- he had to hold it the whole car ride! cute though huh??!

This was B's FAVORITE!!!! whenever I couldn't see him-- he was in here!

C-H-E-E-S-E!!!

Kaser DID NOT- I repeat DID NOT like the Ball Pit!!! This nice little girl tried to pick him up, but that made things worse!! :)

and here again!

OHHHH Elmo! We could not get a decent picture if we had all day!!! the boys were not quite sure what to think! Kaser was Petrified- B- asked why he wasn't in the TV..... ohhh Kids!!! I don't understand what is so scary!!! LOL

Let's Try again! - l(ook at B's hands he wouldn't touch Elmo!)

I love kaser's Face!

B' is thinking about this----and try to find kaser!! I have never seen him move so fast!

overall it was fun- the toys were fun and Kaser had a good time walking around the nice padded floor!!

UPDATE TIME

WOW!!! Where has the time gone???!!! I can not believe that we are almost into February!!!
We have been super busy and having a lot of fun spending time as a family! My boys (all 3 of them!!) Sure keep me on my toes! Kaser is walking and into everything- I don't remember Britton getting into things as bad as Kaser does!! he is a very busy boy-- He has 4 1/2 teeth-- and it seems that he has FINALLY overcome his allergies to milk and his acid reflux seems to have vanished!!! YEAH!!! he Loves Mac 'n Cheese, green beans, and bread! and of course--- CANDY! he points and grunts when he hears or sees someone with something in there hands, or even if he sees something on the counter!! He is so much fun- I can't believe that he is almost 1!!!
and Britton has done SOOOO well with potty training!! I thought this would never happen- I am so proud of him! he is a good helper with Kaser, loves playing TIGER, and trucks, and has this OBSESSION-- with Spiderman- he watches it- the new ones- a couple times a day!! and we will be places--- like Church for example- and he will just flip out his arm and act like he is shooting his web!! it sure is cute when it is REALLY quiet and he does this!!! HA!!, and he is almost 3!!
WOW!! I have some great guys in my life!!

*** MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ***

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

2 1/2 YR OLD + POTTY TRAINING+ BABY BROTHER+WORK= AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

LAST WEEK , ON SUNDAY NIGHT, JAKE LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS " WE NEED TO POTTY TRAIN BRITTON! SO THIS WEEK THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO" (I LOVE THAT HE USED THE WORD 'WE' - BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT THE MEN ARE SOOOOOO GOOD AT THIS AND ARE THERE THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING!!!!!) HAAAAHAAA!!!! SO MONDAY MORNING I TELL BRITTON HE IS NO LONGER A BABY, THAT HE GETS TO WEAR BIG BOY UNDERWEAR---- HE WAS NOT TOO SURE AT FIRST..... BUT A BUCKET OF CANDY DOES WONDERS!!!!!!! SO WE WERE OFF ON THIS EXCITING, TIME CONSUMING, CARPET CLEANING, ADVENTURE TOGETHER.... ME AND BRITTON OF COURSE!!!

HE ACTUALLY REALLY DID PRETTY WELL... THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS, I DON'T THINK HE KNEW QUITE WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT BY FRI HE WAS DOING SO DANG GOOD!! I PROBABLY ONLY HAD TO SCRUB MY CARPET... 20 TIMES ALL WEEK, AND THE GOOD THING IS, HE CAUGHT ON TO #2 FROM DAY 1!! I NEVER HAD TO CLEAN THAT OUT OF MY CARPET!!!!

WE HAVE GONE TO A COUPLE STORES (I AM TERRIFIED TO LEAVE MY HOUSE!!! LOL) AND HE HAS HAD ONLY ONE ACCIDENT..... AND THEN HE WILL TELL ME AND WE WILL GO..... BUT WHEN WE ARE OUT... MY FAVORITE PART IS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF SHOPPING AND HE SAYS... 'I HAVE TO GO'. I THEN HAVE TO LOAD UP KASER AND RUN WITH BRITTON, AND THEN HOLD KASER ALL THE WHILE I TRY TO GET BRITTON ON THE TOILET...... UGH! THAT IS A JOB!!!!

THESE ARE THE MOMENTS THAT I THINK..... I WOULD RATHER PAY FOR DIAPERS!!!!!!!

BUT IN ALL REALITY, I LOVE THAT HE IS GROWING UP AND DOING WELL..... ALTHOUGH I TRIED EVERYTHING YOU COULD IMAGINE!!! WHAT WORKED THE BEST FOR US WAS TO DRAW ON BALLOONS WHILE HE SAT ON THE POTTY..... THAT WAS FUN!! AND THEN EVERYTIME HE WOULD GO WE GOT TO BLOW OUT CANDLES ON A CAKE I MADE JSUT FOR HIM!!!! HE LOVES LOVES LOVES TO BLOW OUT CANDLES!!! THIS INCENTIVE WAS PERFECT!!!

SO I FEEL LIKE I AM BACK TO NORMAL SOMEWHAT.... THAT WHOLE WEEK I DID A LOT OF SITTING IN THE BATHROOM, WATCHING THE TIMER, AND LETTING MY HOUSE GO.... I DIDN'T CLEAN OR COOK!

AND THE PICTURE OF KASER IS JUST HIS FUN PERSONALITY!!!

HE GOT A LOT OF TREATS TO KEEP HIM HAPPY WHILE I WAS BUSY!!!

December is here... and almost gone!

can you believe that we are already in december!??? i sure can't! and i sure have been a slacker lately.... We have been very busy these last few weeks. Last night we went with some friends to Arctic Circle, so the kids could play, and then to Temple Square to see the lights. It was really fun and Britton had a good time! This is his Friend, isn't she cute??!!! Britton Loved seeing the Temple for real and the Horses that pulled the little carriages on the street.

*Kaser is about ready to walk... SCAAAARRRY!!!! and he has 2 teeth and is getting 2 on the top. He is just so much fun!! It has been fun to see the differences in the two boys.... He Grins at about anyone or anything!

* Britton is... well..... INDEPENANT! he likes to do everything himself.... and he says the randomness things!!! He sure seems like a little man and I love to just sit back and watch him when he doesn't know! He has funny conversations with himself and his "friends"

Happy Holidays!!!

A Good Laugh!

I know... I know... but this was just so cute! After hearing a bunch of growling and screaming I walked into B's room and asked him what he was doing, he looks at me and says " mom, I'm just playing... look they like eachother!"

I couldn't help but let out a huge laugh and take a picture!

Ohh... kids sure do the darndest things!!!!!

WOW!! Crazy Weeks!!

I can't believe that I have slacked so much!! But things have been busy and crazy around our house lately. Me and my sister - in - law - who I job shared with... moved offices in our homes so now I get to work at home everyday... which has been crazy geting use to it with two kids!! LOL but I like being home with them more. And this last week we have had the fun little flu bug hit our house.... I HATE when kids throw up- you have no warning!! Like When I was at the Post Office and I was standing in line and all of a sudden the guy next to me says " OHH!! Your Boy!!" And Britton was standing there PUKING all over the floor!!!! it was disgusting! and oh so Embarassing!!!! so last night I got it and so jake took the kids to a couple houses.... here are a few pics....

Kaser is supposed to be a horse -

Britton is a cowboy-

Connor and Britton ready for mischief!


and just a random pic.. I was on the phone and I could hear Britton talking to himself and "Connor" (although connor wasn't even at our house!!) he was telling him to put this block there and then if they wanted to crash it!! It was pretty cute!!!

A Great Weekend!

Today was my Birthday.. and it was a GREAT day... actually I have been in Party mode since Friday!! Jake planned a get-away in Park city, he set up for the kids to be with Grandma and Grandpa Thurgood (THANK YOU so much !!!) so I could just chill. He had asked me a while ago what I wanted most... and I said a get-a-way without the kids!! I just wanted to sleep in, do nothing, and not feel guilty about doing nothing!! It was a nice place we stayed at... and we had fun shopping at the outlets... Although it snowed and was cold!! Friday I met Jake up at a house he was working at in Park City and thought it was cool- I don't know why people need $4million homes... but they sure are fun to look at!

this is the back of it, and the whole house isn't all in it, but WOW!! HUGE!!



Anyway I got one of my FAVORITE things in the whole wide world--- An Apple Pie caramel apple from the Chocolate Factory!!! YUM YUM YUM!!!! I highly recommend it!!




I got another favorite- Bath and Body Works- Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin shower gel, and soaps!

And today Jake made a Chocolate Cake - FROM SCRATCH!!!!!- for me and It was to DIE for!!! What a nice surpise!!

and ANOTHER favorite that my sister got me - Pumpkin Roll!!!

And My family surpised me tickets to Carrie Underwood's Concert in November!! Yeah!!!

I Love Chocolate, Caramel Apples, Sweet cinnamon Pumpkin, SLEEP!! and my family!!! and I got it all this weekend!!!!

I also got some heat from my last post about when I get money I spend it on the boys and such... Well for all you ( you know who you are!! LOL) I actually bought me a dress, jewelry, Hilary Weeks' new cd and a FHE Book for kids!!... SOOO... I did use it on me this time!!! :)

thanks Jake for a great Birthday!! It sure was special!! Love Ya!!

1- I don't EVER do yard work!! I hate it! I stink at it and Jake is just so dang good at it I like to LET him do it!! Actually Its not the dirt that bugs me rather I just don't like it!! I can't keep flowers, plants or a garden alive. and I haven't touched a lawn mower since I was a sophomore!!



2- For some reason I like to take inventory of the kids' toys ONCE in awhile (see Katie I am getting better- it is just occasionally now!!) it USE to be every single night!!! I like to know that all the toys have all their parts... if not I search and search for them!! OCD??? Maybe!!

4- If you were to come to my house unannounced- you would most definetly find me in my "comfy clothes" I LOVE them!!!! -



5- When I get money for christmas, birthday, mother's day.... I hardly ever buy stuff for me... I LOVE shopping for the boys!!! It is so much fun!! (that is sad.. I know... maybe one day when I am back to where I want I MIGHT find joy in shopping for myself again!!) LOL... This bugs Jake... but hey its my money right??!!
