This week....

I made a birthday cake for Mervin's suprise party....
We had a campout in the living room, 2 nights in a row... and maybe a third time if I don't get out beds put back in the bedroom! Mason ate a lot of donuts after church. He was super hungry and they were super yummy -according to him...
Easton wanted to take a picture of Me and Mason. Of course Mason wouldn't look at the camera...
Yep, it was another amazing week!

This week has been a lot of the normal. Whatever that is.... We went to Boys Basketball games, wrestling and the doctor.... I've had some problems with my back, and finally went to figure it out. The doctors want me to try PT for awhile and see if that helps... Easton got sick on Thursday. I knew it was something more than a cold, so I took him in and found out he has Strep. YUCK! I opted for the shot instead of dealing with daily medication. I didn't realize that they would give him the shot in the hip! (Flashbacks from the bat incident)... He was tough though and only cried for a minute.
We also went and stayed in Lehi for the weekend. Justin had his Winter Conference. We went and ate at Texas Roadhouse and the boys really enjoyed eating peanuts and throwing them on the floor! I made a cake for Corbin's 16th Birthday last night when we got home.
Today is our 7 year aniversary:)... Seriously where does the time go?! I am so grateful for such a wonderful, caring, amazing husband and father. I love him so much and can't wait to spend another 7 with him. In our 7 years we have moved 7 times, graduted from college, got jobs, and had 2 kids! It's been amazing:)

I just love these two boys!!! They are best friends and know how to make me laugh! Don't know what I would ever do without them!This was Mason's first time in Primary. He has been really excited to go because he has never really liked nursery. His teach is Lannie, which he is really happy about. They made these cute little crowns and he wore it all day! I asked him what he learned in Primary and he told me that he learn the Itsy Bitsy Spider :)
Mason has really been into Cheese and Crackers lately. Grandpa is so nice and will sit and cut up cheese for a long time :)
Easton and his "Penguino". He is so dramatic lately. The things he comes up with crack me up!
I made a cake this week for Austyn. It turned out really cute, and I am getting better with fondant.

Christmas Break

We had an awesome Christmas this year. I have been couponing for over a year now, and have been saving up for Christmas. I was so excited to use all the credit I have earned from Amazon. I ended up getting $125.00 in free presents! Everything else I got was on sale. I kept feeling like we needed to buy more because we really hadn't spent any money. It was so awesome!!
Easton and Mason didn't decide what they wanted until 2 days before Christmas. UGH! Luckily Amazon had free over-night shipping!
It took us a good 3 hours to get everything wrapped and set out. Christmas morning we actually had to wake the boys up:). As the boys walked out into the front room Easton exclaimed, "Oh my stinking goodness!" It was so funny! They tore through things quickly and were really happy for what they got! I didn't take many pictures. I got a new video camera so I was using it. I tried to get Mason to look at me, and this is what I got....
Easton gave Mason a Doctor Set. This is the glasses that came with it...
This is what we look like after wrapping presents all night... :)
Later that afternoon we were able to Skype with Kyle. It was so much fun! The boys loved being able to see him and talk to him. He is doing such a great job!
Later we were able to Skype with Aunt Dana and Uncle Tim's family. They all looked great! We even got a tour of their new house!
Justin reserved us a room at a Bed & Breakfast a few days after Christmas. We ended up staying in the same room and everything that we stayed in on our honeymoon. Can't believe we have almost been married 7 years! It ended up snowing like crazy so as soon as we got packed up we came home. The canyon was horrible, but Justin couldn't wait to get home to snowmobile with my dad! The boys went and played in it too, and tried to build a snowman.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas, can't believe another year has gone by!

Easton's Pre-School Program

Easton had his Pre-School Program. Last year he didn't sing at all, so this year I told him he HAD to sing. He did so good! He sang and did the actions. It probably helped that Jerzie was sitting by him :) It's always fun to see everything that they have been learning and to hear the music to the songs he has been singing at home.

Easton and Jerzie ended up switching places, because they held hands to come back from doing the parachute!
Always have to have a visit from Santa. Last chance to making sure he knows everything they want. All Easton would tell him is, "I don't know." Ha :)

Easton Turns 5

Easton turned 5 last week! I can't beleive it. Seems like yesterday that I was holding him in my hospital room after a c-section. Now he is 5!! Crazy!! He really wanted to have a train-birthday cake, which he had last year as well, so I decided to do one out of Fondant. It turned out well, and he loved it! He really wanted to do something with all of the cousins, so we decided to have the Party at the Swimming Pool! Awesome Idea! Everyone had a blast, and Easton only almost drowned two times! Luckily dad was there to save him. Pretty sure it gave my one student a heart attack the 2nd time (He's a life guard). Autumn
