Bruce turns 2

On the 19th Bruce turned 2!

I can't believe how big he is getting!!

We wanted to do something fun, but not that big,

so we just got together with my family and had dinner and a cake.

I made my first cake from scratch, everything from scratch, it was really yummy.

Our hand mixer broke a while ago,

and you need a mixer to make a cake,

Danny came up with the best idea ever...

 yea a drill with the wisk, He is so smart.

Bruce and his cake

 He could not wait to get into that cake he wanted to blow that candle out so bad, Danny had to hold him back.

 Waiting for his cake, doesn't he look excited? Yea I think so!

 He loved his cake this year, he couldn't get enough of it.

 yummm...

This year was so much different from last year. This year Bruce couldn't get the cake fast enough.

Last year he couldn't get away from the cake fast enough.

 opening some gifts

 His most favortie gift, GUNS!!!

 Working on getting the gun ready to shot.

 Shot me if you can!!!

 More presents!!!

Bruce has been such an amazing part of our life!!!

I am so greatful to have him in my life, he is the funniest and happiest boy in the world. He his talking all the time and is so into his big sister Dylann. Every time he tells us anything it is always about Dylann. Bruce never walks, he only runs!!!

We love you little man! I can't wait to see what your life holds for you in the upcoming year.

We love you!!!

Rainbow Car

On the way to school today Dylann was talking all about how we need to get a new car b/c she wants a red car. This is how it went...

D-We need a new car b/c I like the red ones

M-but I like our car its really awesome!!

D-no its not red

M-ok well why don't we paint it

D-thats a great idea mom!! So after Bruce's birthday than its Katelyn's birthday, then its your birthday and then its Bryn's birthday and then its my birthday, and we can buy some paint. but we need a latter

M-why do we need a latter?

D-so we can paint the top. I got a great idea, daddy has one

M-where does daddy have a latter?

D-at work, so we will get a latter and paint the car RED!!

M-well I think we should tell daddy about this first

D-no its a surprise.

20 mins later

D-I have a great idea lets paint the car RAINBOW

M-I don't think daddy will like that very much

D-yea he will he will say (in a really high voice) 'Thats a great idea Dylann, lets paint the car Rainbow'

M-I am not sure about that, have you seen a rainbow car?

D- yea, daddy will love it, he will say (in a really high voice) 'what a great idea'

D-lets call daddy right now

Needless to say Danny was not up for it, and wanted to know why his voice was really high when she talked like him.

(now as I write this she is bending over shaking her bum in my face laughing, and asking if I see her bum)

My child is a little bit crazy

New Years Eve

Happy New Year!!

So every year we celebrate the New Year at 8 so the kids can have fun with it too. Not this year! My cousin got married on New Years Eve, it was so much fun. Her colors were silver, gold, and anything sparkle. This was such a fun wedding, we were able to bring Dylann with us. Bruce was able to come to the pictures and then we took him home with a babysitter and he was so good. Dylann had a blast, she danced the night away.

Here she is with her 2 of her cousins, they had a lot of fun dressing the same.

 Danny and me

 This is Dylann, Katelyn and Jada, my cousins daughter. Dylann loves playing with Jada, she gets so excited whenever she comes. They were so cute playing together all weekend.

 me and Dylann

 The bride and groom, Dylann kept calling Stephaine a princess, she really did look like a princess.

 Right before dinner, they had filet minon and lobster. Wow the food was so amazing.

 Dylann and her sparkling cider

 Dylann and her princess and prince

 They had an aniversery dance, and my grandparents won, they will be married for 60 years this summer, They are so amazing and I look up to them so much.

Then they had dancing, Danny was mad that I didn't put this pic on facebook, so I had to put it on the blog.

Dylann danced all night long, she didn't take a break the whole time.

I love this goofy pic of Danny

At midnight they had a balloon drop. What a great night to spend with family

Happy New Year

The bride and groom walked out to sparklers

My brother was able to come with his beautiful girlfriend. She is the cutest and most fun girl. We really had a great time meeting you Jessie.

Hope you had a wonderful New Year too!

Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas I know we did.

Christmas this year was on a Sunday so we got to go to Church in the morning, at 9.

So instead of waking up at the crack of dawn we woke up in time to get ready for Church, and took our every year pic of the kids on the stairs. I guess they were still a little sleepy.

 Santa covered all the presents so we could focus on the real meaning of Christmas. We were able to get ready for church with no complaining. Our ward had the most amazing sacrament meeting, we had all music, it was wonderful. Dylann and Danny both sang, Danny with all the men in the ward and Dylann with the primary. It was so wonderful to just think of Christ for the first half and not worry about the presents or Santa.

Then we were able to go home and change back into our pjs and open presents

 This year we did things a little different. We only got the kids 4 gifts each, with a good stocking. My kids get so many gifts form there grandparents that they just don't need to get a million form us. Plus last year we got them so many things but we got them cheap things so they all broke or were not played with. So we really wanted to get them just a few and a little nicer stuff.

Bruce got new unders in his stocking. We are going to try to potty train soon, wish me luck.

 Dylann got a new Rapunzel doll, which she loves!!

Christmas was so wonderful this year for us, we had so much fun spending time with family. Finally telling our families that we are having another baby, in July. Sykpeing with Dannys family, and just hanging out with each other.

December is a really long month in our house, Danny has to work about 60 hour weeks. It is just so busy at work that there is just not enough hours in the day to do it all. So we missed him a lot! It was just so nice to get 3 full days to hang out with him!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

I have been the worst blogger

I have not blogged about anything!! So I am just going to start right now.

We have this really cute elf, named Evie. She only comes after Thanksgiving and she leaves with Santa when he comes Christmas Eve. She will also leave if the kids are being bad. So my kids were pretty good for the month of Dec.

Well Evie was up to some pretty crazy tricks this year. She moved every night and the kids were so excited to go see what she did every morning. She did some really crazy things, but to spare you here is just a few of the fun things she did.

riding Bruce's motorcycle

 drawing all over our family pic

 fishing

 Having a snow ball fight with a moose

 snow angles

 Bruce just loved holding her.

 It was so much more fun this year having Evie do things instead of just hiding. The kids thought she was so funny playing with toilet paper, watching them sleep, turning the milk chocolate, playing with there toys, and many different things. 

Hooray to the New Year

Happy New Year

This is how we told our parents that we are having another baby!!!

sick little girl

Dylann has been so sick for over a week now.

That is the longest she has ever been sick. We finally took her to the dr. on Thursday.

She would not stop throwing up and we were getting really worried about her.

They put her on some anti nausea meds, which worked perfect. They said if she were to throw up one more time, we would have to take her back to be put on an IV drip. Thank goodness she didn't. She started to get a little better. Even eating for the first time in a week.

(like the throw up bucket?)

 Well Sunday morning we woke up to this.

 She had a horrible allergic reaction to the meds. By Sunday afternoon it looked like this

 Sorry for the bum shot

It only got worse, It was basically all over her body

There was more rash then there was skin.

We took her to urgent care on Sunday night, They put her on a different med to make it all go away.

Well we are on it now for 3 days and it is so much better.

The rash is almost all gone, it is mostly on her legs and arms now.

Now if she can only stop itching we will be set.
