The Bead

Oh I love my darling Shay- today I am at the hospital visiting my two cute new nephews when I get a call to come to the school because Shay is in the nurses office with a bead stuck in her nose. Yes a BEAD. So I hurry to the school and Shay is just hanging out in the office waiting. We worked on it for a little while and luckily when she blew hard enough the bead shot out of her nose. I was so worried she would be so embaressed but no she was kind of proud she went back to class and showed all the kids the bead and told them the whole story. I am still not sure how the bead got in there the only thing she said was she was smelling it. It is good we have kids to keep life interesting.

Santa

Oh it always so much fun to go and visit Santa each year. Well my kids have fun for me is crazy because I want the perfect pictures and I am trying to switch out kids and get group shot. Ah thanks Rachel for going and helping me! It was fun Cole got so excited he threw his arms and totally hit Santa in the face! His glasses almost went flying. So I thought we were done and were getting loaded in the stroller so I flip back through my photos and realize I did not get a single of Cole and the first one of Clint was he was not looking. So we ask Santa if we can take a few more. It is really good that Santa is such a jolly fellow, but I am sure he was relieved to see my family leave!

Thanksgiving weekend

One of our favorite traditions is the Saturday after Thanksgiving we always go and cut our Christmas tree down. This is the first time we have taken Clint and Cole with us, both me and Nate had to pack one on our backs which was quite the workout hiking through the deep snow but was so fun. They did great until the hike back, I think Cole was scared of the tree Nate was dragging behind him because he screamed the whole way back. He was so upset that Nate finally left the tree hiked Cole back out and put him in the truck and then hiked back for the tree. Wyatt and Shay had fun even though they got tired. I sometimes wonder why we do these crazy things that seem so hard at the time, but hopefully one day our kids will look back and have some really great memories.

Angie's Babies Are Here!!

Angie ( my older sister) had her babies today!!! They are doing great! They weighed in at 5 pounds 11 ounces and 6 pounds 4 ounces. They are so cute! One is named Colby Glen and the other is Kyler Craig.

Funny Thoughts

I just wanted to share some funny thoughts of my kids.
Wyatt woke up yesterday all upset and I was asking him what was wrong, he was like I had the most awful dream. So he tells me his dream. He was like I was at my Aunt Cindy's and she made us some pie and then she took us out to get some ice cream. So then he gets tears in his eyes he tells me the worst part of the dream was they did not have his favorite kind of ice cream! I guess he just like his dad for those that don't know Nate loves ice cream! I was just thinking how lucky we are that Wyatts worst dream is not to have ice cream!
Shay- yesterday we were driving in the car and one of her friends were talking and Shay was telling her all about her favorite books, and this friend is like I don't know how to read books yet. Shay was so funny in the most compassionate voice I have heard her use... She goes I am so so sorry that is awful! You can come over to my house and I will teach you how to read. I am trying not to laugh as then she starts teaching her while we are driving. Oh that girl.. who know mabey she will grow up to be a teacher. HaHa

Halloween Fun

I know it is a little after Halloween but I still wanted to post my kids cute costumes. We love Halloween thanks to Aunt Rachie who helps make the kids costumes every year. We just did the traditional Trunk o' treating at the church and then some Trick O' Treating around to some houses. Then the best part coming home and sorting the candy a tradition of Nate's family that has been passed down, to sort your candy and make some trades.

Meet pumpkin Pie

Wyatt and Shay just got a new kitty, they named him pumpkin pie, he is so cute! Today after Clint and Cole got home from school I left Cole outside and took Clint inside when I went back out the Kitty had climbed in the stroller and was playing with Cole, he was laughting and petting him it was so cute.
