Lilly's Blog

Well today my oldest daughter,Lilly, came to tell me that when she went to my moms this weekend for a couple hours her and her best friend Carlei started her a blog. She is so cute she makes me laugh. When she told me what the address of her blog was I went to check it out. I laughed and cried at the same time when I read it. Some of the stuff she said makes me feel bad. But also she's growing up to fast and is too smart. Just thought I would share that with all of you. So check it out I put a link to hers from mine.

cHrIsTmAs!!!!!

Well Christmas was a crazy time for us. I worked everynight the week priar to Christmas til 1:00 AM. Although I had Friday night off. We went to Brandons moms on Friday and Santa Clause came to see the kids. Hayden talks about Santa all the time. He loves Santa. He asked me if we could go to the hospital and get a new baby and name him Santa. But when it come time to seeing Santa NO WAY! He was having nothing to do with it. But after Santa left he liked him again. Then Saturday I had to be at work at 5:30 AM again. Got off work on Saturday came home changed and went to Brigham for a family party. We left Brigham about 8 and went to Morgan to Brandons uncles house. We stayed there and played ping pong til 1 AM. The kids love to go there cause Brandons uncle has the cutest little boy thats name is Blaise. He is 6 and so funny. His moms name is Kami also so he always thinks thats funny. When we walked in Blaise looked at his mom and said, "Mom say hi to Kami". He thought he was so funny. He loves Lilly and calls her his girl. Their house is a kids dream house. We came home from Morgan in a terrible snow storm. We woke up early the next morning got ready and went to Malad to see Brandon's grandma. Came home about 5:30. Got home worked on the house a little. Got up Monday morning ran around all day while the kids stayed home with Brandon and watched Christmas movies with him. Went to Brandon's Grandmas in Clearfield Christmas eve and we got in the terrible snow storm(guess I got my white Christmas I was dreaming of). Opened presents there then went to Brandon's moms and opened Jammies. By the way the kids dad took them shopping and bought me my cute jammies I have on in the pictures and the slippers. Thanks kids. Love them! Then we got up Christmas morning and my parents and brother and Brandon's parents and brother came to watch the kids open Santa presents! Wow the kids got spoiled! I think I will definatley cut back next year. Between grandparents and Santa WOW! They all got what they wanted and more except Lilly got a laptop and when we opened it and tried to set it up it would not turn on. So after spending a day on the phone being placed on hold they are sending Lilly a new laptop. But it could take up to 20 business days. So Lilly has to wait for her big gift. But anyway we made a big breakfast for everyone and the kids left with their dad at 10 AM. So I spent the rest of the day cleaning up garbage and oragnizing bedrooms with new toys. SO..... hope everybody had a fun, exciting, and safe Christmas! Happy New Year!

Alyssa's in a picture mood!

For some reason this one went blurry. Sorry!

When Alyssa's in the mood for pictures I have to take them cause thats not very often. She wanted her picture by the Christmas Tree cause she said she looks cute today (she alwas looks cute to me) but at least she let me take pictures. I Love Her!

THE CHRISTMAS PARTY

I have to apologize I have been a terrible blogger lately. I have been working so many hours at work its making me crazy. We had a family Christmas party at my brothers house in Lehi on Saturday evening and just so you have an idea of how tired I was at it, I worked Friday night til 1:30 A.M. and had to be back at work at 5:30 A.M. to open. So sorry if I look terrible in the pics. I was so tired. But we had alot of fun. Megan made homemade pizza and we played lots of games. One of them she made us wear a scarf and oven mitts when we rolled a four on the dice and we had to try to unwrap a present she had wrapped like 50 times. It was quite funny to watch, but Brandon never rolled a four so Megan finally changed it to roll a six at the end cause thats what he kept rolling and then he rolled a four. Alyssa won that game but was too shy for the pics. Then we played a game that we had to divide in two teams and decorate one person on our team like a Christmas Tree. I got stuck with my brother and Dad and they got quite perverted. My nephew couldn't figure out why they hung blue christmas balls between my brother Joes legs. It was pretty comical. Brandon and my Moms team won at decorating Lilly. Then we watched Polar Express. The weather was terrible on the way down and before we left my two brothers went out to plow the driveway. They got a lot more snow than we did at home. But it ws fun to get together and play games to celebrate Christmas. Thanks Megan for all your hardwork at planning a fun Christmas Party.

A WORLD OF IMAGINATION

Hayden wanted me to play with him this morning so I told him I would. When I went in his room to play I couldn't resist taking pictures. He was wearing Brandon's safety glasses from work with his beanie underneath them and he told me that he was going to work and he wanted me to go with him. So he made me pretend like I was getting in his little truck and he drove us to work making sound effects as we were driving. Then we proceeded with our day at work. When we were done at work he drove us home. He told me on our way home we were going duck hunting with Papa Chris. We got our guns and went duck hunting. He got his little mallard and stood up on his bed pretending it was flying then yelled shoot it mom shoot it. Well when I tried shooting it he told me I didn't make the sound. So i had to make the bang bang sound. I was laughing so hard. He dropped the mallard on the ground and said good job you got it Mom. Wow what an imagination he has! (Alyssa felt bad and wanted me to take a picture of her too.)

Alyssa wanted her picture taken.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT!!!!!!

Brandon and I took the kids out to trick-or-treat. We went door to door around our neighborhood and I havn't done that since I was a kid. I always took the kids to Boo Fest in Brigham. So it actually was alot of fun and we saw alot of cute little kids with cute costumes. Hayden was so funny. He was dressed up like a dog and we walked by a house and this dog started barking so Hayden started growling back at him. It was so cute! I think when Alyssa is in her costume she is a totally different girl. I don't know if the costume puts her in disguise, but she is so much more outgoing than normal. Lilly is so good with her brother and sister. She was making sure they all got the same amount of candy at each house. She takes care of them so well. She will be a good mom someday. We also went to Grandma Kim and Papa Steve's house to trick-or-treat and they went around their neighborhood with us. It was alot of fun. Hayden would run to the door and then run back and want Grandma Kim to hold him. Thank You to our friend Marlene for making such a cute Dorothy costume for Lilly. And Thank You to Megan(my sister-in-law) for letting me borrow the dog costume for Hayden. (We had to hurry and get this posted for Grandma Deenie and Papa Chris that hate not being able to see the kids on Halloween the kids miss not seeing them too.)

Halloween Parties

We had a Halloween Party at Grandma and Grandpa Wight's House on Saturday night and we carved pumpkins with Brandon's family on Sunday night. Yes, we did have a busy weekend, but it was a lot of fun. Hayden was really tired at the Wight party and he fell asleep right before we carved pumpkins on Sunday so he was pretty upset that he missed out.

For Halloween Brandon is Mario and I am Princess Peach, Lilly is Dorothy, Alyssa is a frog, and Hayden is a dog.

Woo Hoo! Hannah Montana Concert

Well we went to the Hannah Montana Concert on Friday night and it was a BLAST! When we first found out that Hannah Montana was coming in Concert on Saturday, Oct27th, we tried to get tickets cause Lilly wanted to go so bad, but we just couldn't see paying what they wanted for the tickets so yes Lilly was bummed. All she could talk about was how bad she wanted to see Hannah Montana! So Brandon found out Hannah Montana had decided to also come in concert Friday, Oct 26th to film her 3D movie. So Brandon immediately called me to tell me. We agreed that we needed to get tickets. So Brandon was able to buy 4 tickets to the concert. We surprised Lilly by buying her and Alyssa Hannah Montana outfits and wrapped them for Christmas (obviously they got there Christmas early). So when they opened them Brandon told them that they could wear their new outfits to the Hannah Montana concert that they were going to on Friday and Lilly FREAKED OUT! She was so excited she couldn't stand it. Alyssa was excited too, but not as excited as Lilly. So my mom, Alyssa, Lilly, and I went. We seriously had so much fun. And the concert had a lot of extras because they did film it for Hannah Montana's movie. We had really good seats too so that made it funner for the girls. Lilly was jumping and screaming the whole night. She asked me to stand up and dance with her and when I did she said, "You can sit down now Mom you are embarrasing me". But when she saw the mom dancing behind us she said I'm glad shes not my mom and she told me I could stand up and dance with her again. Wow that made me feel good! But it was an AMAZING concert. Thank you to Brandon who paid for all of us to go and have fun. Him and Hayden had a boys night out.
