Santa's Village

So once we got to New Hampshire we could finally tell the kids about Santa's Village we had waited to tell them just in case we couldn't make it, and man am I greatful I didn't tell them sooner!!!!! It is like a mini amuesment park with all kinds of Little kids rides that they all could go on including a TRAIN...for the next 12 hours until we walked in the gates Joey wouldn't stop about riding the train! So that was the first thing we did so he could get it out of his system...the Conductor was nice enough to let Joey sit up in the driver seat for a picture and then let him say 'ALL ABOARD" Joey had just found heaven

Road Trip 2009

I want to post these in order for my own Journaling reasons so here a some good ones of expressions in the car! We left Idaho on Tuesday night about 10pm by the time we got the car packed and we pulled in New Hampshire where we were meeting family Friday about 4pm eastern time which is 2 idaho time...we also only stopped at one hotel on Wen night and drove the rest of the time!!

Joey, Kenzington,and Ellianna in the bake seat That way I could sit in middle and help the kids get what ever they needed and keep them entertained!
Clearly the happiest child out there at the moment! She was so done with the car!

And is that not the sweetest bed head ever?!?!? The picture really doesn't do it justice!

I need some ideas on entertaining my children while stuck in their beds/rooms I am trying to keep them from getting the baby sick with the flu that they have! We have done movies galore...coloring...more movies...sticker books..anyone got anything else out there my brain is so fried from no sleep I just can't even think!

THANK YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA

Pumpkin Walk

This is the cutest thing, it is in Shelley and really worth going... we went during the day and then decided to go back at night cause it was so cool what they were able to do with Pumpkins there are over 500 decorated in some way throughout the walk and they did a really good job! You should check it out it is going be set up through saturday night!

Please Excuse the Mess!

I am trying to give my blog a new look but having to figure things out as I go!

To Cute!

Ellianna and Joey were talking in the car today about a Ballon that Joey lost a couple of weeks ago. He had gotten out of the car and it floated up into the sky...any way Ellianna said "Hey Joey maybe God caught your balloon! He is way up there!" It was so stinkin cute!

Then they got into a whole discussion on how God was way up in the sky and that he was watching over us.

It is nice to know that sometimes our kids do listen.

This one is for my own personal reasons and just so I can remember how cute it was... we have been working on Joey and making sure he knows he can't hit girls...no hitting in general but definetly not girls...any way he was getting really mad at Elli cause she was coloring on his chalk picture on Nana's driveway he was ready to hit her and I told him no and he tried to stomp away all mad and I told him we need to talk to her not hit or walk away...so I told him he needed to ask her not to color on his pictures so Joey says " Ellianna can you please not color on my pictures it is really making me angey" he said please and told her why he didn't want her too I was so proud of him and they worked things out right away....I really loved that he listened and that all the timeouts and talks are paying off!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Just for Fun!

Good Times!

The Gymnastics place brought their stuff out for the kids to try out!! THEY LOVED IT!!!! I couldn't get Bria off of them she liked jumping down the long runway so much! My favorite pic is of Bria in mid-jump!

The Gym

Joey wanted a spiderman and i give the girl credit for trying but you really can't tell what it is!

Bria was so excited to get her face painted she always amazes me at how still she is when she has to be! She was even completly still for the Dentist and for a hair cut last week!

Ellianna was set on getting a butterfly!
!



This one is one the National Guard Course they both did so good but joey still beat her every time!

Bria is not in either of these pics because she would have nothing to do with the boucy houses!
