Sleeping Beauty!

Since I'm posting about sleeping tonight I

thought I'd throw in some of my favorites.

If you haven't noticed I like to take pictures of

Jayli in all the random places that she falls

asleep. I don't know how she does it.

GO TO BED!!!

The other night I told the kids to go to bed and this is what I got.

I guess I need to be more specific!

This is just a picture of them both snoozin away in my bed.

MMMMM Ice Cream!

Who knew that you could make such a

mess with 1 scoop of ice cream!

She's all girl!

So I painted my toenails last night and so when Jayli saw them this morning she stripped off her jammies as fast as she could and ran her little toes to me! She was so excited to have hers done.

Last night Jayli was running around playing and tripped and landed head first into the coffee table. You like her nice black eye. Poor thing.

The Wedding!

Kyle and Danielle asked Kason to be the ring bearer for their wedding on the 29th! At first he was excited since he already knew the plan from Scott and Brittneys wedding, then he decided he didn't want to do it. We (well actually just me) took him to get fitted for his mini tux. Sounds fun huh.....NOPE it was a nightmare. Jayli fell asleep on the way so I was trying to hold her. We had to wait a bit for some help since it was packed so I finally layed Jayli down on the couch. Perfect!! Then the girl came out and did all the measuring, this part was ok. Then she brought out all the pieces and he insisted on going into the dressing room. Strange since he doesn't care who sees him in his undies. So the girl helping us told me she would watch Jayli for me so I didn't have to try and hold her and change him. So we get in there and he doesn't want to wear ANY OF IT. But we finally get it all tried on and then we're on our way back home. In the car I asked him "Why were you acting like that" his response....."I have ants in my tummy again, and they didn't want me to wear those clothes, so they made me cranky....I'm sorry mommy. The ants are gone now, so I wont be cranky anymore!" What the........
So then we're getting ready for the wedding on Saturday and he is insisting on wearing his new race car shoes. So we tell him that he can wear them until we get there then he needs to wear the other ones. Luckily he agrees. On the way there he tells me "I don't want to be in Kyles wedding, I want to be in MY wedding!"
Once we got there and we were getting him all dressed everyone kept telling him how cute he looked. At first he would say "No I don't" but then I think he started to like it. He would walk up to someone and just look at them with his hands in his pockets and wait for them to say how cute he was. He did a great job during the wedding, and even wore his tux..minus the jacket for the whole open house.
Then when we were getting ready for church yesterday and he was insisting on wearing his wedding clothes. I wish we would have kept them so he could wear it. We left it with Koni so should could return it for us.
So....here are some pictures of the little stud all dressed up!

On our way to the wedding!

Daddy helping him get all ready!

All ready except the shoes.

This is where he started to like all the attention he was getting.

Waiting to go in with Jayli and Jordyn

Not quite sure what to do now....He thought his Daddy was going to be walking with him

Giving the rings to Kyle

Christmas Fun!

Kason having a little snack. He just helped himself to the carton of ice cream.

Jayli riding on her zebra she got for Christmas from Scott and Brittney

She really liked all the presents, but she just kept going back for the candy. I didn't think she would actually like the nerd rope and so I would get to have it, but she tricked me. Stinker

Kason trying to decide where to go first.

The baby cradle Grandpa made for Jayli.

The tree before we woke up the kids

This is Jayli's new trick. When you are changing her diaper and getting her dressed, she takes off under the table. Little naked girl doesn't think you can see her when she is hiding!

We have a very fun Christmas. We were in Utah from Friday until Christmas Eve morning. Then we came home to spend Christmas Day with Kasey's family. It was a lot of fun that we got to see everyone this year. We went to Price on Sunday to have dinner with Lynn, Marilyn, Allison, Brandon, Tammy and Kids. It was fun as always. Then we went over to Mary Ann and Kevin's to see them and the kids. Stacey, Shelley, Sean and Ty were there. It was so good to see everyone, it has been way to long.

Christmas Day we finally woke the kids up at around 8:30. We got all the presents opened and played with a few things then we went over to Keli's house at 2 for lunch with all the Taylors. It was lots of fun. Kason and Jayli sure love being together with all of their cousins.

We hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas!

The Polar Express

Last Saturday we went to Boulder City to ride the Polar Express. It was really cold but the kids had tons of fun. It was the first time that either of them had been on a real train. Santa even came to visit.


Kason took this picture of me and Jayli

She didn't really care about Santa

Kason trying to escape!

Cheesy little kids

Jayli just enjoying her apple

Kason admiring the scenery in
good ol' Boulder City

All of us.

**Got Hanes?!?**

Kason saying to Jayli "Give me a hug"

Cutest little elf ever

I was surprised that there really

was letters to Santa in his mailbox

.

I'm sure shes thinking
"So...whats the big deal with you"

A cool little old train

"On Kason....On Jayli"

After we were dont there we went to the

mall and this is how the kids rode in.

Ok I'm gonna publish this since I have tried 2 times already and it keeps giving me an error message....cross your fingers it works.

So this is Christmas

We finally got up our Christmas tree and decorations. Here are a few pictures for ya!
well apparently there is something up with this site and I cant upload any pictures...so you're just going to have to wait. Sorry for the fake out!
Things have been going good here, just keepin busy. Kason is getting very excited for Christmas this year. Every toy that comes on the tv he thinks he wants. Christmas morning should be lots of fun this year. I haven't wrapped a single thing yet (which I usually do the second I buy it) because I'm afraid that the kids will open them. But then I guess I will have lots of fun on Christmas Eve!!
Ok I'll try again later to see if the pictures will work.

4wheelin time

We went over to Scott and Brittneys house so Kason could ride his 4wheeler on the track that Scotty built for him. He was being too funny. He would follow right behind my dad and then take off to pass him. As he would pass me watching, he would say "I left him in my dust" Hes such a boy! Jayli loves to go for rides.

Fun at Grandma & Grandpas House!

We are in Ferron for the week. The kids are having a fun time with Grandma and Grandpa. Jayli cracks me up, she just follows around Grandpa all day saying...."Paapaa....Paapaa" Kason is having a blast riding 4wheelers and the golf cart.

The first night we were here Kason was sleeping in his little Thomas blow up bed right next to my bed. He wanted me to roll over so he could see me so we could talk. He said to me "Mommy...Thank you for bringing me here" Then gave me this huge smile. So then we're just laying there and he says "Mommy....I'm glad Heavenly Father gave you to be my mommy" then rolled over and fell asleep. He is such a sweet boy.

His new thing is he keeps telling me that he has ants in his tummy. That they all dig a hole into his tummy and they eat all his food so that is why he keeps getting hungry again. Last night he was just sitting there and said "oh no..I have ants in my tummy again....I better go and get them out" He has quite the imagination, he is so much fun.

Kason being goofy!!

Jayli talking to her daddy on the phone. She liked it in the bucket so she could hear herself echo.

Jayli playing the the new babies at grandmas. She really likes feeding them the bottle.

I can't believe its been so long since I've posted. I was doing so good, and then I don't know what happened.
Lets see....whats been happenin. Nothing too exciting. I've been sick for what seems like forever but its really just been about 2 weeks. I am finally about better though, thank goodness.
Luckily Kason is such a great helper that I was able to manage. He is such a great brother. They are starting to play together really well. Its so fun.
Jayli is definitely all girl. She already has an attitude. She tried to put me on time out yesterday. "Mommy....2...2...2....(then points to my room)" She doesn't know 1, 2, 3 yet so its all just 2's. It was pretty funny.
Me and the kiddos are going to go to Utah on Sunday to my parents house. Kasey will take us 1/2 way to meet my parents. He will come back home and then work Mon, Tues, and Wed then come up after work on Wed for Thanksgiving. We will have dinner at my moms on Thanksgiving and then we will be off to Price for shopping the next morning. It wont be the same as being able to go here, but it'll still be fun. Then me and Kasey, Bry, Sarah, Scott and Brittney are going on a date on Friday. Then Saturday we are doing family pictures. Sounds like lots of fun right........
We hope you all have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!!!

Friday again

I can't believe its Friday again. Where do the weeks go. It will be Christmas before we know it. We are just having a lazy day today. I'm not feeling the greatest and I don't think the kiddos are either. I got the dishes in the dish washer and a load of towells in the washer so if that is all that gets done today, at least it was something.
I have a work party tomorrow that should be pretty fun. Its a formal dinner, so it will be fun to get all dressed up. Also......Taylor comes home tomorrow. We are so excited to see him and hear all his stories.
Well that's all for now, maybe I'll think of something interesting to say later!! Have a great weekend.

Costumes!

We finally did pumpkins on halloween day. Pretty bad that we wait until the last minute, but anyway it was fun!

The finished masterpiece

SUPERMAN!!!!
