Christmas Jammies

I just love these jammies! The kids like'em too:)



I'm not sure why but Keenan decided he could only take weird pictures
and then Camden thought he should too...

My Boys Love these...

Marbles! I found huge marbles that I'm hoping will not drive me crazy:)

I thought the marbles would go nicely with a cute personalized bag.

I have to say I think they turned out adorable!

And because I think he's adorable....

Who is your baby daddy?

Today I had to get Keenan a booster shot. Never mind that he already had this shot and its consecutive boosters when he was 2yrs. And that the school nurse already looked into it with the Health department. But when the state audits, we all listen...I guess. ANYWAYS...I decided to take both kids out of school since the appointment was late in the afternoon and I didn't want to miss elek getting off the bus. To the Health Department we went. Now let me just say I have absolutely no problem with the government programs - they are in place for good reasons and help people when not abused. Our appointment went quickly and smoothly, it is a new building and actually quite nice and set up really well. the boys and I were winding through the back hallways to checkout. As I was checking out elek -ever so helpful, wants me to get all the handout I could possibly need-says, "hey mom, do you want me to give you one of these numbers?" I glance down to a paper hanging from the tall counter-directly eye level for him. It was like watching day time TV. Who's your baby daddy? We do paternal testing! then it has all the phone # tabs at the bottom. Without thinking I say, "We already now who your daddy is-we don't need to test you to find out." The lady behind the desk couldn't contain her laughter! It was quite funny when I thought about it :) I would imagine working at the health department you get all kinds of everything. I'm glad we were able to make her day a little brighter! And I am so thankful for a divine plan to have families. I'm grateful that I don't have to spend my day stressing over who my baby daddies are. I'm so grateful there is only one for all four of my babies! And I'm so grateful that we love each other.

Elek's prayer

Elek said the breakfast prayer. It started out like this:

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day. Thank you for blessing us to go to sleep last night....At some point....
bless our food....
Amen

Yep, that's right He's thankful that at some point in the evening-after being tuck in bed- that they finally went to sleep. How long did it take? Well, I guess it doesn't matter(which it really doesn't now-just annoying last night) In the end the result was the same: At some point...they went to sleep. And we woke up to start off a new day cheerfully together.

Treat bags

Not the best picts, but aren't these bags so cute!? And they were under 2 bucks to make! Yeah!

Keenan. Sleep walking. Fully ASLEEP. PEED on my FLOOR! and I'm STANDING in it!!


Yes, my kids are known to sleep walk at times. Usually they look awake. the older they get the less it happens. Usually they just end up by my bed trying to tell me something they are dreaming about and I guide them back to bed.
Keenan must have been talking to me in his dream. He just kept saying "I really have to get it" whenever I asked what was going on. It didn't take long to realize he was totally asleep and thought he had peed in the toilet.
As gross as it was that I was standing in pee-it was so funny at the same time. In one of those "I can't believe this just happened" kind of ways.

I had to change my cloths and clean my feet really well. I just kept thinking there was pee all over me! And yes, he really had to go.

A lot.

Even for a Birthday...

...there will be green...



Camden wakes up, birthday morning, and finds his presents. Look at that sweet little morning face:)



Since green has been Camden's theme this year, we did a green themed birthday celebration!
He wore a green shirt and had a green dinner with all green table ware. He was in green heaven!



He's so pleased with his green cake:) It was a little weird not to decorate the cake up with some character, but green was all he wanted.



All out on the first try. He looks so old!



Checking out the goods with the boys!



Your one Happy Three year old. In-between all those ornery-three moments!
You've loved green all year long - much to my surprise. The other kids in nursery have started to have a fascination with green too, I guess they think It must be cool if you keep wanting it each week!
You love your nursery teacher and she indulges you in your love of green by giving you green balloons, play dough, crayons and toys.
You recently decided it was okay to color and that you really like to do it! You'll spend long amounts of time coloring flash cards and pictures.
You don't like to draw your own pictures though. You think you should be able to dictate to someone what you want, have them draw it then you color it.
You love when "your boys" come home from school and miss them all day when they are gone.
You like to go places, but as soon as we are in the van you want to go back to "my house." You don't mean our families house or my house but Your house!
You like to watch little bits of tv or movies. Once you've watched what you've deemed important you get up and turn it off-this really annoys your brothers!
You try to get out of a nap by telling me, "It's not dark outside!" I'm not sure how this ever came about, but you really think it is sound reasoning not to take a nap.
You love to give me four kisses at night. One on my right cheek, left cheek, forehead then chin. In that order and good solid kisses or you have to start over. Then you end with a "squeezy hug."
