November 11th

Today makes me think of my grandparents. I miss them.

Here's a link to a song for anyone who has ever lost someone. It was written and sung by my former bishop's son. I LOVE it, but can't listen to it without crying. It is definitely worth a listen!!

No More Craigslist...for now

For the past 2 years, I have been searching on craigslist for new dressers for my kids. Kya's dresser had completely broken and Tyson's clothes were still stored in plastic tubs in the closet. FINALLY I found some new dressers! After 2 years, what are the odds that I would find two PERFECT dressers for great prices in the same week. Well I did! This morning when I got up, I automatically went to craigslist...until I realized I didn't need to:)

FREEDOM

We finally replaced the Jeep with this Crysler Pacifica. No more sharing one car!!!

Santa and Jesus

Tyson and I had quite the conversation this morning!

Tyson: "Mom, how does Santa get so much money?"
Mom: "I don't know, maybe he's magic"
Tyson: "He uses all the magic to make SO much money?"
Mom: "Yup"
Tyson: (very astonished) "So Santa is Jesus?!"

Not quite sure how he came to that conclusion.

COSTUMES 2010

In all the craziness that was this weekend, we managed to squeeze in a little trick-or-treating! This year we went with some friends and I must say, their neighborhood was a lot more happenin' than ours.

Jordan the ROCKER
I had a lot of fun doing her hair and make up:)
Kya the COWGIRL
(and her friend Bruce was a secret agent)
Tyson the TRANSFORMER
I convinced Tyson to let me spray him a black mohawk, but once he saw it he cried until I washed it out:(

Looks Like Fun:)

Don't they look like they're having a great time?! Let me tell you, it's a good thing you are looking at pictures and not video because...I have never heard so much complaining and fighting in all my life!!! But we can look back on the pictures and think we all had the time of our lives:)

Say It Ain't So

My baby boy is FIVE!! I just can't get over how fast they grow up. We have loved every minute this little guy has been part of our family. We couldn't live without him:)

A few minutes old

1 year old
2 years old
3 years old
4 years old
5 years old!!

Sweetness

I couldn't resist posting Tyson's Christmas List. He insisted on writing it himself. I don't think there could be a sweeter little boy (who BTW turns FIVE tomorrow!!!).



In case you can't read it:

Batman Castle (which he is getting for his Birthday)
Dart Gun (he already has 3)
Book
Guitar
Mouse (yes, he means a "real" mouse)
Punching Bag (to hit when he gets really angry)
Bubblegum Toothpaste
