Visiting Santa!!

We went to see Santa, Josh climbed right up told him what he wanted, and then accepted the candy cane. He was pretty excited about the candy cane, but could not stop talking about how Santa has a really weird voice. He immitates him all the time!

And then Anna's turn....not as successful till she told dad she sat on Santa's lap 100 times over, and that he said ho ho ho.

Thankful

I Love Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful for, so even though this is late... I am thankful for our families, my cute crazy kids, mark and how hard he works for us, girls getaways, and so much more! I am glad I have a day to think about all I have!

And this tiny picture of mark's family on thanksgiving! Uh I am sick of computers

Happy Halloween!!

We had such a fun Halloween this year. We kicked it off with Josh's Halloween parade and party at his preschool, and then carved pumpkins, and went trick or treating. Both Josh and Anna were really into trick or treating which made it all the more fun! Happy Late Halloween!

Cute tinkerbell and minnie mouse
This was a classic that I caught the Josh's reaction to what Anna does best. Eat Everything!

The trick or treating crew!

Josh's Surgery

Josh had surgery on monday to remove his tonsils and adenoids. He has always been a mouth breather, snorer, and constantly has a runny nose, so we took him to see a doctor who told us he wanted him to have surgery as soon as possible. I was so freaked out putting him under anesthesia, but it went great. We gave him the versed, he was a little out of it, but was fine when we had to go our separate ways. The Doctor said his tonsils were big but his adenoids were MASSIVE! We hope our little man can breath better soon! For now he is really sore, really ornery, and watches A LOT of disney movies! He has had so many nice visitors bring him popsicles, movies, coloring books, and many other things. I am pretty sure he is loving the attention. Here are some pictures from the big day! Doesn't he look so cute in his hospital pj's?!

The wagon ride back!
So out of it!
This is him today. Feeling a little better, and looking a little skinnier.


And cute baby Anna has been the best sport. She has had a few fun play dates, but the rest of the time just hangs out by Josh.

CUTE HOUSE FOR SALE IN HOLLADAY!!

No, no I am not moving! My sister is selling her house! It is in a awesome neighborhood, just down from Olympus High School. They have done a lot to it, sprinklers, added a garage, new roof, finished basement, and updated it. The Yard is big .21 acres! It is 3 bed, 1 bath and about 2079 square feet. If you know anyone wanting to move pass the word along. They just listed it, and I figured I would do some advertising since she never updates her blog. The MLS# 919364, if I missed any details.

What have we been up to???

Wow! We have done a lot since I last updated the blog. The events are backwards, but at least they are posted! Mark celebrated his 27th birthday and I thought what better idea then give him a present that also benefited me! So we started off the night at Flemings which was delish and then went to Brad Paisley/Dierks Bentley Concert. It was awesome!

We went to the state fair, and went on one ride! Holy Cow the rides are a rip off!

The zoo! Okay I want to take baby Zuri home! I can't believe how cute the baby elephant is!

Mark on his birthday! I think he gets better looking every year!

A fun play date at gardner village!

Josh started PRESCHOOL! So Handsome.

Anna got her first Haircut and was a champ! And looks super cute!

The MOATS came to visit! This was a blast! I wasn't lonely at night and just love them to death. However this is the only picture I took! The boys were taking this poor boys food, and he was so nice to share!

A fun girls breakfast while Alex was here! It was so Yummy!

A tribute to Nat: She finally got to get out and waterski again. Just like old times!

Visit the frogs at the museum

Went to LAGOON. So much fun!

Perfect boat Anna got!

So I was feeling like an irresponsible parent sending Anna on this ride. As soon as it started you can see, she was laughing so hard!

And Finally a super fun swim at the Grand America thanks to the Spencer Crew.

dEnVeR

We went to Denver a couple weeks ago to see our friends, and Mark's grandparents! Mark's family came out for the weekend to see the Rockies against the cubs! We had so much fun and did so many things our kids were dead by the end! Thanks for the great trip everyone! We love you guys!

Anna and Josh on the Alpine slide!

Josh and Cal

3!!! What?!

Josh just had his 3rd birthday on July 31st! Where does time go!? We love this crazy guy so much and and can't imagine life without him. He makes us laugh daily with his choice of words. His favorite phrases and words lately are, whatever, that's cool, move sweety(referring to anna), is that a good idea, that's perfect, and that's crazy! He loves to pretend he is a superhero and play fight. He thinks batman is bad, we lost him in the mall the other day because he was hiding from him. He loves going on a daily outings, but equally enjoys watching cartoons. He is a daredevil, but cautious at the same time. He loves his family, especially Anna and daddy( I have come to grips I am third in line). We love you little roo roo!

1st birthday!

2nd birthday!

3rd birthday!

JACKSON!!!

We went to Jackson Lake right outside of Jackson Hole over the 24th and had a great time! The water was perfect, and the weather wasn't too bad either! The only day it was stormy we drove to Yellowstone and watched Old Faithful! We felt lucky to see it go off since it only blows every few years! Haha. Josh, Mack, and Anna were in heaven camping and running wild! Can't wait for that glassy water again!

Summer Fun!

We have had a great summer so far! We went to sun valley after Newport and had a blast (I still need to post pics of that) and we have been enjoying the warm weather. Running through sprinklers, going to the fire station, going boating, having 4th of July parties, and lots of bbqs! It doesn't get much better!
