WOW!!

Oh my gosh, my nursery graduate!! My big girl finally gets to go to sunbeams. She is so excited. When we picked her up from nursery she had a cute little makeshift graduation cap and a little make shift diploma and a graduate ribbon on her dress, it was so cute and thoughtful of her teachers to do that for all the kids. Now if only I can get Marshall to stay in nursery so we can teach our class, that would be great!! My closet being torn up Kendalls race track, he was so excited when he opened it, talk about a 5 year old kid getting the perfect gift on Christmas. Thank you Gary and Sandy for the lovely family pictures, they turned out great and it was a very thoughful gift.

Christmas Morning!!!

The kids had lots of fun on Christmas, Marshall came down and saw his big tonka dumptruck and imediately started pushing it around, we tried to give him other gifts but he just wanted to push his truck. He didn't want to let anything go, he opened all his gifts one handed because he didn't want to let the other one go. ( I think he is having separation anxiety from us trying to take him to nursery on sundays)

Jenika couldn't wait to open her gifts and she loved passing them all out!! She loves the build a bear armoire that santa brought her.

Kendall the little stinker guessed what his present was Christmas Eve when I put it under the tree, he went over to it and looked at it and said it's a saws all isn't it, I lied and said no but he guessed it as he does every year. But it should come in handy for him.

THE CHRISTMAS MISUNDERSTANDING: Kendall told me he was getting me something, but it could not fit under the tree so I wouldn't get it on Christmas so on Christmas he told me he was going to do my "shelving" I didn't know exactly what he meant because we have crappy wire shelving through out the house. ( thanks Ivory) So I thought he meant just "shelving" So when I was cleaning the house the next day I remembered I want closet organizers for all my closets, so I called him and told him I wanted closet organizers he said thats what he meant. I just misunderstood. So now I am excited and now my master closet it torn apart, so hopefully we can get it done and put back together soon.

The traditional in front of the Christmas tree pajama picture!! So cute!!

Kendall kept sticking balloons to Marshalls back!!!

Marshall on Santa's lap, he didn't really want to be there, as Kendall was walking up to Santa he tried to distract Marshall so he wouldn't see where he was going but once he sat on his lap he screamed!!

Jenika on Santa's lap, she didn't mind at all.

Wow, I am actually in a picture!!

The kids making cookies for Santa. They had lots of fun, it was so funny that Jenika just kept pouring the candy out of the jar not really knowing she had WAY too much on her cookie, it was so funny!!!

I love to see the temple, it is so beautiful and to think it took them 40 years to build such a beautiful building is amazing to me, all the detail it has is just amazing.

Kendall, Jenika, Marshall, Jen and I all went to see the lights at temple square in Salt Lake, it was fun, and not too cold either!!

This picture is so funny because Jenika had Grandma help her because she was freezing!!

Grandma & Grandpa's churches Christmas program

I love going to their churches Christmas brunch, I think it is fun because it is in the morning and they have breakfast. This year was fun because they didn raffle tickets and santa called each # to come get a gift, Jenika loved it!!

All things WEAVER!!!

Ward Christmas Party!!

It was fun, we had a dinner and dancing, Jenika had lots of fun dancing!! Then Santa came and this year Jenika went right up to him and sat on his lap and told him what she wanted, it was a nice change since she has never really liked him before, and as you can guess Marshall did not.

But Marshall tuffed it out for the picture and then we went and sat down and Marshall and Jenika started runnig around but the tables (lots of kids were doing this also). Marshall and Jenika ran out into the hall so I told Kendall to go and get them before they get too far. He went into the hall and all these people were walking towards Marshall and he was on the ground screaming, Aparently he ran forehead first, full speed into the wall. Lots of people kept asking if he was ok because they say he hit REALLY hard. He had a bump on his head and even today he still has the pattern on the brick on his forehead, OUCH!!!

All in a days work!!!

Saturday was awesome, Kendall and I worked on the laundry room. We got all the walls framed and we put up a couple pieces of drywall and we bought the lights and stuff to finish the room, it was nice. I love to help Kendall work because we work well together (except that I have to read his mind by getting whatever tools I think he needs ready before he needs them, I need to work on that) We hardly ever fight or argue while working and we tend to get alot done!! I LOVE to watch him work!!!! I'm so blessed to have such a handy man!!

Kendall's Carzy

I went to Bunco the other night so Kendall stayed home with the kids and Marshall fell asleep in the truck on the way home from Home Depot, so he took him in and laid him down on the couch, but it was only 7:00. So he thought that was too early for Marshall to be asleep so he thought he would wake him up, but it didn't work!!

Christmas lights!!

My family doesn't have any Christmas traditions, so I told Kendall a couple years ago, we are going to go do something that has to so with Christmas once a week till Christmas gets here. Because you can only do those things at that time of year so we need to do things as a family and come closer together at Christmas time so we invited Grandma and Grandpa to come with us. So we went to see the lights in Ogden, they are cool because they have little decorated houses that the kids love to look in.

Decorating for Christmas!!!

We finally got to decorate for christmas, I couldn't wait because it's the holiday I have the most decorations for so I like to get them all out. (I need lots more though since we've only had a house to decorate for 2 years now) On Sunday after church we got all the stuff out and decorated the tree, Marhsall was asleep for the most part of the decorating of the tree but when he woke up he was like wow, who put all these balls on the tree, so he started pulling them off of the tree and throwing them. Trying not to laugh was hard, we were hiding our faces behind the pillows on the couch so he wouldn't hear or see us laugh as to not encourage his behavior!! So we told him to put the ornaments back on the tree so he started throwing them at the tree, that was hilarious!!! Even this morning he went down and started taking the ornaments off the tree and throwing them!! (he is such a boy)

Marshall's first haircut!!!

Marshalls hair is finally growning. For some reason he decided he wanted curly hair (instead of Jenika) Granted his hair is cute with a couple little curlies, I hope it's not permantent for the rest of his life. Anyway his curlies are getting a little out of control and his hair was getting a little long so I decided it was time to cut it. So when we went to Grandma's house the other day Grandma cut his hair, he enjoyed it, it took a little teasing and feeding of ice cream to make him sit still but all in all it turned out good!!

Family game night!!

Our kids have been crazy lately, so last sunday I figured, we should play a game to get our kids to calm down and be good. So we got out the Sorry game and played. It worked for Jenika to be good, but Marshall just kept going around stealing all the pieces, so it was a little hectic, but fun at the same time.
