So this is Christmas

I love Christmas! The whole Christmas season!

Now, please don't ask why, You all know the reason.

It could be the one caroler that sang with all her might.
It could be the lights, that lit up the night. (alright enough with Suess)

Note to self - Next year buy a pre-constructed Gingerbread House.

Havyn and I have been learning how different countries around the world celebrate Christmas.

In Great Britain they wear crowns when they eat Christmas Dinner.

Havyn sitting on Father Christmas's lap asking him for a Puppet Theater.

If anyone has a chance to go to This is Place Heritage Park this Christmas, Do IT. It is a lot of fun for the kids. They had reindeer, Father Christmas, dancing, crafts, a puppet show, train rides and a live nativity. It was a lot of fun and we had the Pratt's join us which made it even more fun. Thanks guys!

Here we are playing with Christmas gloop. That is a tradition everyone has... right?

Fun pic that I had to throw in.

Havyn loved sledding........Krew, not so much.

Here is the Saunders style snowman (tie-dyed)

That is some of the things we have been up to the past few weeks.

Merry Christmas!

........and the rest of the Kiddo's Pictures

As I have been stalking blogs over the past few years I have noticed once people have three kids their blog posts drop off drastically. I didn't think for a second that would be an exception, especially considering my posts were already random. So if you see a post from me know that I am most likely posting instead of doing dishes, sweeping or cleaning.

(See what I have to give up in the name of blogging)

There were so many good ones to choose from. I loved them all.

The Last Week with Bowen (Finally)

Alright, Alright, here is the last week of our fun time with Bowen. It's long overdue. Here are the many pics of how we spent the week.

Jack took the kids to the BIG park.

We played in the water.

Bowen and Havyn were extra good one day so they were able to decorate cupcakes.

These two cute little pirates made eye patches, necklaces and went on a treasure hunt.

We went to the mall and played in the Dino playland.

The kids threw pennies into the fountain and made wishes. I am pretty sure Bowen's wish was for his mom and dad to come home. Luckily it came true.

More water fun.

We went to my in-laws awesome cabin in Bear Lake. The kids loved the pool and playing outside the cabin.

We went to the aquarium and saw the Nemo fish, the new penguins and Havyn touched the Sting-Rays for the first time (It was kind of a big deal). Bowen was brave and touched the sea stars and urchins.

Thanks for staying with us Bowen!! We love you.

Sorry, My Bad

My nephew Lachlan came over today and I put him down for a nap and when I went to check on him, I found this-

His whole body was covered with a blanket and since neither of my kids did this I decided to take a picture and send it to my brother via text and I said "Is this normal for your son"

He quickly texted me back by saying "Who is this and which son do you have? What have you done to him? Is he okay? What is going on in the picture?" ...Leah (mmmmm, Leah is not Karson)

Then I realized that I punched in my brother's number instead of finding him in my contacts, and well I punched it in wrong. I put in a five instead of a two (stupid fat pregnancy fingers.) I quickly texted Leah back and told her I had made a mistake. She texted me back and told me that she has five boys and she was panicking. OOPS. Sorry Leah!!

Actually, I am only really sorry I didn't ask for Ransom money.

Here's to Katniss

Dear Mockingjay -

Over the next day or two I will probably ignore my kids, husband, housework and food while I devour every page. (Who am I kidding, I could NEVER ignore food)

Please don't disappoint me!

No Pics Today.....Mom/Babysitter on Break

My mom was in town and she sent Jack and I on a breakfast date while she took the kiddo's to the park. After finishing breakfast I asked Jack if he was ready to go back to reality. We both agreed we weren't and we spent an extra half hour chatting at Village Inn. Luckily it was Free Pie Wednesday and we devoured Jack's slice of Lemon Supreme. I took mine home hoping to eat it in the only room of the house where a boy of nine could sit in privacy and decode, but when I went in the kitchen I found Bowen with lemon and whipped cream all over his hands and mouth. :) I spent the rest of the day with my mom just enjoying the day and her company. Thanks for the break Mom!

A Day at the Farm

Wheeler Farm.......

Rabbits, ducks, water, tractor ride, goats, horses, cows, leaf races and stinky smells = Fun

Well, at least Jack is happy to be going on a wagon/tractor ride.
