Family Photos 2010

These Photos were actually taken the end of September, Madelaina was only two months old and had just had her shots that day.  We were so lucky that we got a few photos of her asleep because she was an honoree bear any time you touched or moved her legs!  Joseph was set on having some new family photos…it was the last thing I was ready for at two months post baby.  But agreeing that photos are priceless I agreed and I am glad that we did because they turned out not too bad!!  The boys did great for the first 10 minutes… then they just wanted to be funny and wouldn’t hold still. (hence the silly faces Photo)  They were poking Jammie with sticks and running around.  We tried to bribe them by telling them we would go get a shaved ice afterwards..I think it helped a little..so I am surprised that we did get some pretty cute shots of them too. And sure..I am ready to loose a few more pounds…like 15!!…  but they did turn out very nice..Jammie Hansen does a great job! And How did I get so Lucky to Have Such a CUte Family?!!!

          

Wrestle.. Wrestle

….Twist ‘Em Like a Pretzel!!

-the boys first Wrestling tournament November 13, 2010 Salina, UT ..…Talk about intense situation… this wrestling stuff was a bit intense for mom…  but the boys did wonderful!!  Joseph is a great coach for these two up and coming champion wrestlers.  this was a last minute decision to take the boys to this tournament, they each had to wrestle 4 times.  It was like a round robin  tournament, Kash is a little young..again we snuck him in under the age limit… but in his weight bracket he did a pretty good job.  PJ is learning the moves and even knows exactly what a half Nelson is and how to carry through the move.  I have got to get some of this on video so that you can see just how fun and intense it is to watch.  They were both so excited to win a metal like their Dad’s, and I think Dad was a little overexcited too!!  I love these Boys!! All Three of them!

 

It was so nice to have Karley with us to help out with Madelaina…  but I think Karley had just as much fun with the baby as the boys did wrestling.  After the tournament we went to Richfield and started on our christmas shopping at Wal-Mart.  It was a fun day!

  

Madelaina loves her Bathtime! – Always Smiling!

PJ and Kash wanted to make a birthday cake…so here we mad two half rounds then they got to decorate it however they wanted!  It started out with just the snomobiles then other toys were discovered and added later.  We did this on a monday and then on Tuesday PJ had invited some friends over for a party ( I had two moms call me and wonder if we were really inviting kids to PJ’s party) I had explained to PJ that it was his and Kash’s unbirthday, so he was just simply inviting friends from school for his unbirthday party, so we had them come and play and ate this crazy cake!!

A Very Merry UnBirthday To You!!

Happy Halloween!

The week before Halloween we took the kids to Gardner Village… we were in SLC for something else and I talked Joseph into going there we thought it was alot of fun, the kids had a great  time checking out all of the witches.

Kash dressed up and had a little party at preschool then the next day both PJ and Kash got to dress up for PJ’s School and have a halloween Parade.  Halloween lasted all week long by the time they dressed up again on Saturday.  Joseph took them trick or treating kindof early in the Ranger then it started to snow and rain on them, they came in for awhile then went out again.. then I couldn’t resist taking them to June Garrisons to get a donut hole on our way to Grandmas house.  Fun week and a fun halloween!     On Saturday…Halloween day we finally were able to carve our pumpkins!  Heres Dad and the boys starting the project… then Dad and Madelaina fell asleep and Mom and the Boys finished the project!   Finished Product!!!   the boys loved this and want to do it every day even still…  I had to tell them just the other day(it is the end of November now) that all of the pumpkins are frozen and had to be made into pies for thanksgiving…  we also made a small jack-o-lantern for JJ and took it out to him on our way to ftn. green.

the Pumpkin Patch

   

PJ, Kash and Butterball

The Kids had been wanting to get a pumpkin for a couple of weeks and I kept putting them off of buying one at walmart because I kept telling them you can go to a pumpkin patch and choose one of your own.  So here we are UEA break at about 2 pm we drove to spring city, picked up Morgan and Afton and found the pumpkin patch there in Spring City.  when we got there the gate was closed….It doesn’t open til 4 pm …so I tried to call the phone number on the gate…no answer… we went in the pumpkin patch anyways and then went to the owners house to pay for the pumpkins after… I had never felt so uneasy and like a trespasser in my life!  I’m just glad that Morgan was with us and made me feel at ease, his teacher owned the pumpkin patch and he knew where she lived so we could leave an envelope with some money in it.  The Kids had such a fun time choosing their own pumpkins!  Morgan chose his fairly quick, PJ and Kash helped Afton, they figured she and Madelaina needed little ones and then they found two of the biggest ones for themselves.

  This is it! the Perfect one for Me! can I have this one and the big huge one that I can’t carry? And here’s PJ trying to lift his before he decides that rolling it will be much easier.
