Goodbye PINK SHOE...FINALLY!!!

After a long 5 weeks, the fabulous pink boot, got the boot! I was kind of sad to see it go... because it was cute and she loved all of the attention. She got lots of signatures, and I am sure it will be something she never forgets. She was a good sport, and I dont think it slowed her down one bit. She could still pout on quite the Hannah Montana show, and keep up with her older cousins. She said on the way up that she was going to get a purple one next time. She is such an optimist and really puts up with whatever comes her way. She was completely fine with having this pink show on the rest of her life. Bostyn you did such a good job, and I hope that you never get to have a purple one! Thanks Primary Childrens Hospital for taking such good care of our little girl!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas was so much fun this year! As you can see we did the nativity play. It was TONS of fun, and even better because we wrote the script. I swear Brad was supposed to be a script writer, rather than finance. :) My mom also bought all of the kids a Christmas book and she read it to them. They of course loved it and it will be a tradition moving forward. My mom also bought me a book about Mrs. Claus and how Santa gets all the credit, when really its Mrs. Claus who deserves it :) It if course made me cry! My mom did alot of really special gifts this year which I really appreciated! Brad got me tickets to Wicked, and some new running shoes, and clothes. What a sweetie! Brad got NFL Sunday ticket, and Ute stuff. Bostyn got a new dollhouse, and lots of clothes. Fynn got a trike that I have been wanting for a room decoration. I guess Santa thought he had been really good for the first month and a half of his life. I love Christmas time, and this was one of my best Christmases ever! I hope all of you enjoyed it just as much, and are looking forward to the new year.

Merry Christmas

I decided to do Christmas Cards this year after I found this cute little Santa! I dont have everyones addresses, so if I missed you this year email me your address so I can get you next. He visits with the kids for an hour and they take all of these cute little pictures. Drew got to hang out with him and drink some soda. He was so excited as this is only his 2nd year seeing Santa in real life. Bostyn got to have a tea party with him and of course was very affectionate with him. She loved seeing him and was mesmerized by him. They took the cutest little pictures of Fynn in a manger and Santa held and cuddled him. This will definitely be a tradition, and the kids already cant wait to see him next year. I LOVE Christmas time and it gets more and more fun as the kids get older. This year we attended a few Christmas events that really got us in the Christmas spirit and concentrated on the true meaning of Christmas. I really enjoyed this as I am normally VERY into the gift giving aspect of the season. Afterall, it is another reason to shop! I hope the holidays found all of you in good spirits and blessed. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY BOSTYN!!!

Bostyns Royal ball was so much fun! She loved having everyone at the house and celebrating her special day. She of course got spoiled but was really only concerned that no one left. She didnt want the day to end, and she cried when the last guest finally left. Arlee and I stayed up until 3am the night before baking cupcakes, cookies, and decorating for the BIG event. We didnt give her any of her presents from us until after the party because we thought it would be too much. She was so excited to walk down in the basement to see her hot pink escalade power wheels. It is so cute, and makes me wish I was 3 again so I could ride in it. It has a real FM radio and she likes to just sit in it and jam out She also got LOTS of new clothes, a Dora backpack, dress-ups, Littlest Pet Shop, and lots of other toys! It was alot of fun dressing up. Bostyn LOVED that we all got involved and thought that I was the coolest mom because I was Snow White. Arlee was a good sport and dressed up as Belle. My sister-in-law also dressed up as wedding Cinderella. My mom even got festive with us and dressed up as Cinderella. It was definitely a day to remember. I cant believe she is already 3 years old. My little girl is getting, "bigger and bigger" as she would say. She is so excited to start Sunbeams at church, and has lots of little friends. She seriously has so much attitude and spunk, I cant hardly believe it. I love this little girl so much and I am so happy that she chose to join our family. She definitely has her dad and I wrapped around her finger. We try not to spoil her, but it is so hard when we find something that we think she will like and imagine how excited she will be when she gets it. She never fails our expectations, and is always so appreciative! We love you princess Bostyn, thank you for being so sweet and a good example to us.

Bostyns birthday is coming!

I swear I feel like little Mrs. crafty pants this week. Arlee and I have been busy getting ready for Bostyns birthday this Saturday. I also have been working on Christmas cards, and Fynns birth announcements. I just wanted to put a sample of the card for those of you to see that I didnt think would enjoy attending the princess party. Bostyn is so excited and I will try to put pics up of the party! Oh, actually it will be a must because Arlee, my sister in law, Brinley, and myself will be dressing up as princesses. It should be fun!

A little update on the baby.. he is still an angel and patient as ever. I couldnt have asked for a more even-tempered little boy. He is changing everyday and starting to be alot more alert!

Bostyns Broken Leg!

Okay so I havent posted in a while. I promise I have an excuse. Well, a number of them actually. On top of the fact that it the hustling bustling Christmas season, I have a newborn, and life is life... Bostyn broker her leg. Well, actually her dad broker her leg! We were up in Park City a couple of weeks ago because my brother had a condo up there. She and Brad were walking back from the pool while I was shopping and he slipped and fell on her. I get a call from Brad and he is frantic telling me that I need to come quick because we should head back to Salt Lake to get her leg X-rayed. I got there and I could tell she was in a lot of pain. I asked her what happened and she said that Dad was carrying her and he "slipped and tripped and double tripped". A line out of her ever favorite Fancy Nancy book. We took her in and sure enough it was broken. She was such a good sport about it. She couldnt walk on it so I got a little taste of what it is like to have twins. I had to carry both of them everywhere, and stay on a schedule with medicine. You get it right? Poor Danica. They didnt cast it for a few days so those are the pictures you see of just her wrap. When we were walking out of the hospital to bring her home after she got her cast, Brad was carrying her and she said, Dad, dont drop me and break my other leg K". It was hilarious. Needless to say, Brad feels horrible and she is more spoiled by him now than ever before if you can believe that.
