Caleb's Preschool Christmas Performance

Caleb just LOVES preschool!! He thrives to learn and do fun things!! For Christmas, his school had a fun hayride and Christmas activities.

Him and his buddy Coen

Can't remember what this fit was for, but I had to take a picture of him throwing a fit to prove to him when he's older that this did happen.

Getting his lovely costume on for the performance!!

I was surprised he didn't sing. His teacher said he sang all the time when they practiced at school! He must have gotten stage freight.

Love my little Caleb!! He's one boy I can't live without!!

Ward Christmas Party

We had a grand ole time at the Ward Christmas Party. They had a breakfast which was a Pancake Bar.

My dad holding Capri while I got something to eat. He kind of likes his grandkids!!

Mark playing guitar with kids singing while we were waiting for Santa to come!

Oh, Santa drove his Ranger... sleigh was in the shop.

Someone was talking too much and didn't get a picture of Elli... not sure who that was.

(Elli is sitting next to me right now really mad at me for this.)

My brother Cody and his wife Rachel had their baby Avlyn on December 4th. She is as cute as can be!! Her and Capri are 2 months apart. My kids are so lucky to have cousins so close to them on each side of the family.

But my mom wanted to put a picture of them on her Christmas card, so we had a little photo shoot of them. Turned out cute!!

It's crazy what 2 months can do for new babies. I still thought Capri was little until Avlyn was born.

Then Elli got out her antlers and pulled the sleigh while Caleb was Santa.

The Slades

We love the Slades. We have had our kids at almost the exact time with the same gender for each kid. It's pretty crazy. Our kids love hanging with them. So we went to visit them back in December because it had been too long since we had seen them.

The girls... Olivia & Remy, Elli & Capri

Oakley and Braeden trying to catch the ball that Brent would throw to them.

Photo Shoot

My awesome friend Lauren Howell took pictures of my kids for me back in October. She was AMAZING and did such a great job with my kids. I love the location where she told us to go for them..... they turned out great!!

Thanksgiving

It really isn't April because I am just getting to posting my Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures... REALLY!!

We had a great Thanksgiving!! My cousins and immediate family all came to my parents house for Thanksgiving dinner!! Lots of people, but Lots of fun!! We LOVE the Shreeves!!

Then we headed to the park on Friday to hang with some of Mark's cousins that he hasn't seen in a really long time! After the park, Mark and Braeden went to Jesterz Comedy Club with them and Braeden had a BLAST!! Braeden didn't stop talking about funny it was for a while!!

Good Times!!

Braeden-isms

Was watching "Home Alone 1". The part where Kevin was watching The Johnny Carson Show, Braeden said, "Hey, is he watching General Conference?"

"It would be cooler if Elli was a boy."

"School isn't good for you because it makes your brain get big and then it's too big for your head."

"I'm excited for my parent teeth to come in."

(When he made Elli cry really loud)
"Turn the volume down Elli!"

"Mom, I rock the WORLD!!"
(His teacher told him that for getting 30 AR "advanced reading" points in school)

"Mom, we need a house cleaner, I am tired of cleaning."

(Stretching his arms out)
"Mom, I love you as big as a snake."

(I asked Braeden if he thought we were having a boy or girl and his response...)
"A boy because boys come first and girls come 2nd in your belly."

"I wonder what Elli is going to look like on her birthday!"

(Whispering in my ear)
"You're an A+ Mom!"

"Daddy, I'm not faking, I'm 'real'ing!"

Elli-isms

"I am a rockstar on my bike!"

(Sharing her sucker with Caleb) "Mom, his slobber tast-es good."

Elli jumped off the diving board with goggles and swam to the other side of the pool. When she got there, her goggles had water in them. Her response, "I don't want to jump off the diving board anymore, my eyes will drown again."

"Daddy, when I marry you, will you buy me a dress with sparkles, dots and flowers on it?"

(Talking to her daddy) "I love you because you love candy."

After Elli got home from preschool she asked me, "Mom, how was your home?" (I ask her how her preschool was and out of the blue she asked me this.)

"Grandma is going to help me, you know, you're Mother."

"Mom, can you do my hair just like yours?"

"When it's Christmas, are we going to wear our sweaters?" (I don't know what sweaters she is talking, definitely not our Christmas sweaters)

(Braeden & I were being silly and saying her name over and over...)
"Guys, you can't fight over me!"

Me: "Why can't I be cute like you?"
Elli: "You can't grow back like me, you can only get big"

"You can't sleep in my bed, Mom. You go get in your own bed."

"Mom, you made me cry!"

(When "Oswald" came on TV)
"Mom, Hock-a-pus is on!"

"Braeden, don't burp in my ear. That's 'scusting."

"You're my favoritest Mom."

"I rocked around the world Mom!"

"We have the cutest baby in the WHOLE WORLD!"

(Sitting at a Red Light)
"Come on, turn green!" (In her cute little voice)

(Eating spaghetti)
"I got worms!"

(Her answer to every question)
"Not yet!"

(Early Saturday morning)
"Daddy, get up and get me a dwrink."

"I broke my eyeball."

"I like syrup, put some on my eggs!"
