Here is a funny video of the kids that I just found. We are playing with a laser light and then its pretty funny of Kason laughing. Don't mind the whining at the first and the fact that you don't see a face through almost the whole thing!!

Foto Friday!

Ahhh Cute kids! Kasey is always telling me

that Jayli looks like a sheep dog when her

bangs are hanging in her face. She makes a pretty

cute sheep dog, don't ya think?

Jayli trying to play with a few of Kasons

toys before he wakes up.

As soon as Kason woke up today he said
"Mom, I need my spider man hat on so I can get out of bed"


Our first encounter with fruit by the foot.
Kason had to unroll his whole thing and then said
"Whoa...this is really really really big"
Then he rolled it into a ball and shoved it into his mouth.

I don't really have much to say today, so I'm just gonna put up some new pictures.

Every time Jordyn comes over to play she wants to have goulosh for lunch. So I decided I would make it for them. The only requirement for having goulosh is all kids have to be stripped down. They always tend to make a mess, so its much easier if they are naked! They don't seem to mind at all.

Mommy being the jungle gym!

Goofy cheesy Kason

"Yep I just picked out all the M&Ms out

of the trail mix"

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ALLLLLLLLLISON.........
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

We hope you had a fun fun birthday!
We were waiting for you all night, and you were a no-show
for your own surprise birthday party.

Smart Kids!

On Tuesday Kason was at preschool. When I got there to pick him up the girl in charge that week said she had a little story for me. I was worried for just a second but then once she started laughing I figured all was ok. They had made a fan out of a paper plate and Popsicle stick and she wrote each kids name on it. Kason was not going to take his because that WAS NOT his name. She had spelled it Kasen instead of Kason. He knew that it was not right and he kept telling her over and over that it wasn't his name. She just thought he wanted a different fan. Kason is wayyyy into spelling these days and trying to figure things out. The other day I was in making my bed and he came in and said "mommy did you know box is spelled B-O-X" I was a little surprised and asked him where he learned that. He told me "On Word World" I thought oh great here I have this smart little boy and he is learning it from TV!!!
Jayli has also learned a new trick.....she can now take her shirt off all by herself. She gets so excited thinking that she is so big.
Ok thats all I can think of for now, I have some new pictures that I will be back later to put up!

What a deal!

So I always look at the grocery ads when they come in the mail but I never expected to get these kind of deals. While I was looking at Albertsons I saw on the front page they were having a huge sale. The price was 10 for $25.00 but once you bought 10 you saved an instant $15.00 so everything was $1.00 each. I could tell from the pictures that I definitely wanted to go but I didn't realize how much fun it would be once I got there. I kept putting it off because I didn't want to take the kiddos with me and then once Kasey would get home I would forget about going. My sister in law told me about a website www.couponsurfer.com where you can get tons of coupons. I've never been into the coupon thing before, but I just may have to change my ways. A lot of the things that were on the ad also had coupons on the website. Just for example.....there was a coupon for GoGourt...save $1.10 on 2 packs. Each pack was on sale for $1.00 so when buying 2 I would pay $2.00 but then I had a coupon for $1.10 off. So lets just say we are very stocked up on GoGourt, Dora yogurt cups, Pillsbury crescent rolls, grands biscuits, ready to bake cookies, cinnamon toast crunch, Reese's puffs (the big $5.09 boxes), chex, fruit roll ups, gushers, fruit by the foot, granola bars, fiber one bars, fiber one cereal, microwave popcorn, and the new weight watchers progresso soups. I spent $42.00 and my receipt said I saved $179.00 ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE DOLLARS!! Can you believe that. I was amazed. We had so much fun shopping. It was quite the sight I'm sure. My sister in law, mother in law, and me all with our own baskets flipping through our coupons. Now I just need to clean out my pantry so I can put everything away and get it off of my kitchen table. Anyone wanna come over for cookies and yogurt?!?!

Silly Kason

I went out to get the mail and among all the regular boring stuff Kason had 2 birthday cards. When I showed them to him, he got soo excited. I told him that the first one was from his Great Grandpa Deardorff and immediately he said "Ohhhh he loves me mommy!!" He was very excited to see the cold hard cash inside. When I asked him what he wanted to buy he said "umm...maybe some new race car underwears!" He then decided to open the second card. I told him that it was from his Primary teacher. He opened it to find some Thomas the train stickers, so excited he said "I think she misses me, we better go to Church right now" He is such a funny little guy. Then his Aunt Kari brought him over a present today too that was a Mater pillow (so cute by the way). He is still getting spoiled and his birthday was 2 days ago.
For his party we all went to the park on Saturday. We had pizza and race car cake. It was pretty windy but we all still had a lot of fun. Kason of course got very spoiled with lots of toys and lots of fun. Whenever I tell Kason that he is 4 now he has this mini meltdown because "I don't want to be 4, I just want to still have a K" He must think that his name is going to change or something and he is a little obsessed right now with the letter K! I tell him that his name will always have a K and he doesn't seem to believe me, for now anyway. Kason was excited to have all of his family at his birthday party. He had both Grandmas and Grandpas, Scott, Brittney, Keli, Jay, Braden, Jordyn, Kristi, Derek, Koni, Christene, Kari, Kenny, Kaci, Kurt, Christene, Courtnie, Caleb, Raegyn and of course mom, dad and Jayli!
I still don't believe that I have a 4 year old. Where has the time gone.

My new projects!

Ok Allison here ya go....Here are my most recent projects I've been working on.

I finally got my headboard done and my vinyl up! I still need

to raise the headboard up a little bit, but you get the idea.

And now my very favorite new thing....my magnet board

The pictures are kinda crappy but again, you get the main idea.

NEW YORK BABY!!!

Yesterday marked a whole week since we’ve been home from vacation. I can’t believe it’s already over. We had a great time. Me, Mom, Allison, Marilyn, and Tammy all went to New York for a girl’s trip. It was so much fun. We took the red eye flight so we would have an extra day there. Sooo after that we were all pretty tired the first day. We went on a city tour and since we all kept falling asleep (sitting in the front of the bus with the tour guide starting at you, isn’t the funnest) we decided to get off the bus. We went to Central Park and found a nice grassy shady spot and all took a little snooze. We all woke up feeling much better and then the rest of the trip the time change wasn’t too big of a deal, well to me anyway. We went to 2 shows…we saw Legally Blonde and Hairspray. I loved loved loved Legally Blonde, but Hairspray was really good too. We went on 2 city tours during the day, 1 at night and then on a boat out to see the statue of liberty. It was really cool. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge..Ok only half of it before it started to rain and I had a tragedy with my shoes!!! This was my first experience with the subway. I loved it. I think it is the only way to travel in a big city. I was a little bit disappointed that I didn’t see a big huge fat rat, or some sort of entertainment. Must have been a slow week! We did lots more stuff that at the moment I can’t remember, so now I’ll just show some pictures

The morning we got there in Times Square

Me with the Big Bad Bull!!!

The fire station right across from ground zero

Me with Chuck in the back ground at the Today Show.

I didnt get on TV..boo.. but we saw Tammy!!

The cutest little old church in the back.

The Brooklyn Bridge...So cool

A real NYPD officer! They were so nice

The Statue of Liberty in all her glory

Samuel L. Jackson

Waiting for some street performers to start their show.

Ok now I think I am all up to date with everything going on here. Until next time.....

Here it goes again!!

Ok I’ll try this again…….now I actually have no idea what I was going to say yesterday…
Oh yeah make over!! So on Friday while Kasey was at work I got bored so I decided I would paint our bathroom. We had a can of kiwi smoothie colored paint left from when we painted the kitchen. We did ½ of it before we decided we hated the color, so I thought maybe it would look ok in the bathroom. So I got that all done and while I was painting the trim I decided to paint the cabinet. It’s amazing the difference a coat of paint can make. Then on Saturday we continued the project into our bedroom. It looks amazingly better. Now I just need to get some new vinyl’s made, pictures back up on the walls, and the new carpet in and we’d be good to go. I’ll take pictures once it’s all finished.
I can’t believe that in less than a week my little Kason will be 4. He is so excited for his birthday this year. He was telling Kasey that after his birthday and he will be for then he will be a man just like daddy. Then Kasey went on to tell him that he doesn’t want him to grow up and Kasons response was “Daddy sometimes little boys grow up and get big!” The mind of a 3 year old! I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and all that he cares about is getting a chocolate cake. He can’t wait for it. When I asked him what he wanted to have for dinner at his party he said he wants cantaloupe. Should be nice and easy for me, cake and cantaloupe!!
Jayli is a total crack up. She is being so funny lately. Apparently we call Kason “buddy” a lot because that is what she calls him now. She will just be sitting playing and start screaming “BUDDY!!!!” Kason loves that just a little bit! She is still obsessed with shoes. First thing she does when she wakes up…puts on her shoes. She finally isn’t teething for a minute. I’m sure anytime she will start with another one.

Makeover Monday!

so I had a big huge post all ready to go and then it somehow got deleted..grrrrr
Now I'm too tired to do it all over again, so I will have to come back tomorrow.

Mr. Weight Watchers???

So last night I was making dinner and Kason said he wanted to help me. This is typical since he loves to help me cook. I turn around to help him scoot his step stool up and he is trying to put on my apron. Totally naked, with an apron! This is a very typical Kason! Silly guy!!!

Tired Tuesday!

After a long night I'm very sleep today, but I'm so excited because I'M GOING TO NEW YORK TOMORROW!!!! Me and my mom, Allison, Marilyn and Tammy are all going on a girls trip. I can't wait, but I have so much to do to get ready. My dad is coming down to watch the kids until Friday and then Kaseys family will be with them on Monday. This will be the first time away from Jayli and just the second away from Kason. I have only been away from him when Jayli was born and even then I still got to see him everyday. Hopefully they remember me when I get home.

Kason started preschool last week. A few moms in our ward are just doing it. So far he loves it. I think he mostly just likes the girls to chase him. Here is a picture of him right before we were going the first day.

Lunch of champions...Corndogs!!

Jayli in the shower getting ready for church on Sunday. She loves to take a shower.

Kason decided that need to wash his hair in the sink with hand soap. Strange little guy!!

Thursday, Thursday!!

Today was a busy day. I had to brave the post office, which was surprisingly the fastest trip on record there. Then we took the car in for an oil change and a few random warranty things. Keli met us there and then gave us a ride back to her house where we met up with a few more people to get our little preschool all figured out. The kids had a blast playing and it was fun to sit and chat with the other moms. Kason loves to chase the little girls and loves even more when they chase him. I can tell hes going to give us a run for our money in a few years. After that Keli brought us home. Jayli fell asleep in her high chair with her hand in her plate full of ketchup (darn where was the camera) and I got the house cleaned up and got dinner started. About 1/2 hour later Kasey got home from work, but wasn't alone. He came home with a migraine. Fun stuff. He took his medicine ate a bit of dinner and passed out on the chair. We couldn't believe when he woke up after sleeping only about an hour, usually its at least 10. We really hope that he feels better tomorrow for our trip to Salt Lake. Its Grandpa Ellis' 80th Birthday party on Saturday. We are very excited to see everyone, we don't get up that way near enough. Well we've had our ice cream and watched big brother so I guess that means its time for bed. That was really long and boring, but I'm going to use this as a journal, so I want to remember all of the little everyday things. Night Night!!!

Its already Wednesday!

After the nice long holiday weekend, I can't believe the week is half over. We had a pretty relaxed weekend, nothing too exciting!

One exciting thing though....Jayli went pee on the potty 2 times yesterday! She is too funny. I was changing her diaper and she said "potty" so I let her get up and she ran into the bathroom, sat on her little potty, and SHE PEED!!!! YEAH. Kason is quite the little helper, he thinks it's all pretty funny.

We are heading to Salt Lake this weekend for Grandpa Ellis' 80th birthday party! Should be lots of fun to see everyone.

Here are a few more pictures, just for fun.

Kason was so excited after it rained that he got to go and ride through all the puddles. He was a total mess after he was finished.

Jayli getting ready for bed! She cant sleep without her care bear from Scott and Brittney.
