Christmas Day 2014

We had a wonderful Christmas.  My kids got spoiled. Shaelynn got a iPad mini and money to go shopping. Paeton got a art set and a camera. Kaecee got a horse and a doll and Paezlee got a baby and a stroller. Santa also brought a tube to go boating with this summer. Ryan got a smoker and a razor and I got a pair of earrings and a DVD he made me of my girls. I was so surprised!  The DVD brought tears to my eyes. I am one lucky mommy to have him and my girls. I really am blessed. 

Christmas Eve

We had such a fun Christmas Eve. We started off by having having a yummy dinner that Ryan made with his smoker he got for Christmas. Then we all opened one present which was our Christmas pajamas my parents gave us. Then we started to play some fun games that Heidi put together. The best was building a snowman which Ryan snd Trevor got to be the snowman. It was so cute!  Then we decorated cookies for Santa. 

Merry Christmas

December fun!

December seems like is has flown by. It was already time for my preschool Christmas party. The kids get to wear pajamas and they love it. We watched polar express and hot cocoa and marshmallows. The weekend before Christmas our town puts on a live nativity. It's been tradition for many years to go to it. They start at the church and give hay rides over to the place its at. The girls love this part. I always love going it really helps us to remember why we celebrate Christmas!  My girls favorite part every year is baby Jesus.   Today we finally got a nice amount of snow. Shae and Pae have to go to school until tomorrow but Kaecee and paezlee and Ryan took advantage of playing in it and building a snowman. I love how Paezlee says snow its "no". 

Christmas tree hunting

This year we almost missed out on our fun little tradition we started with the girls. Every year we go and let them find a Christmas tree that they get to decorate and enjoy downstairs. This year the Christmas tree tags went on sale and sold out in 10 min. I was so bummed, and so were the girls. I ran onto a guy who bought to many and do I snagged it and we went to find the girls the perfect tree!  So glad we got to continue our tradition!  

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving party at preschool. I sure love this Indian. 

Kaecee and kellen. I love that I get to teach him. 

Braces

Here we go!  Shaelynn before she got her braces on. 

On November 24 Shae got her braces on. It's been a long year of preparing. She had to have a bumper, expander and now we are ready for braces. She looks so cute with them on. I can't believe we are already doing braces. This girl is growing up!  

Kaecee is riding her bike

On Thursday November 6 Kaecee started riding her bike without training wheels. It was right as preschool got out she asked her friend if she could ride his bike (he doesn't have training wheels). So she hopped on it and took off. It took me by surprise because she didn't need any help nor did she crash. It was so natural to her. We headed home and took her training wheels off her bike and she took off and hasnt stopped. She is growing up so fast, I get so excited but so sad because she isn't staying little. 

Shooting fun

On Friday my girls didn't have school so Ryan took the day off and we took the girls out shooting. They got pink be guns last year for Christmas. So we decided to go and shoot them. They thought it was so fun shooting pop cans and then targets. I love the fun opportunities we have to be out and about spending time together and having fun. These girls make me so happy. 

Halloween 2014

Happy Halloween!  This year Shaelynn was lady flash. Paeton, Kaecee, and Paezlee were Elsa. We had a fun Halloween. It started off by having my preschool party that morning. I thought it was a perfect way to start the day. Then me and the girls headed to shaelynn and Paetons school to watch the parade around town. Afterwards we headed to get set up for the carnival. Every year the pta puts on a carnival it is a lot of fun. Being on the PTA this year makes me appreciate all the work that goes into putting this on.  After the carnival we headed to trunck or treating and then around the town trick or treating. My girls had lots of fun and got tons of candy. 

Paezlee is 18 months

Why oh why does she have to grow up?  I love this stage she is in. She is so happy!  She is so loving. She always has s smile on her face. She is busy, she wants to be going non stop especially playing outside. She is starting to say so many words. She can say bye bye, thank you, Kaecee, Shae, mommy, dad, Pae, papa and grandpa, grandma, drink, cookie, eye, teeth. Those are some of her favorites. She also has started saying complete sentences her favorite is I want a cookie!  Where grandpa go?  She loves singing she loves the song let it go. She sings let it go over and over. I love this girl so much!  She sure has stolen all of our hearts. 

Smores

Kaecee has been begging to do smores. Finally Ryan set up the fire pit and let her make her smores. It was a bit cold but it didn't stop us from having fun!  

Deer Hunt

For family home evening we went up to the mountain to help Ryan get his deer. We were successful a 3x4. Not too bad for hunting with a bunch of girls. Paeton even got to help gut him out. Paezlee loved petting the deer. She thought it was pretty cool. 

Fish hatchery

I took my preschool class to the fish hatchery. We are learning about letter F. The kids had a fun time. I love that I get to teach preschool and take my kids with me. I do have the best job ever.
