Seriously Late....

2009 Christmas Happenings....

Our annual Ginger Bread house, which the kids actually ate most of the candy off of this year! Gross!

Christmas morning...

The boys each got a strider bike and a razor scooter along with many more gifts!

Peyton loves his leapfrog reading pen

Brody can't get enough of the Batman cave

Peyton asked for a teddy bear for Christmas because when it was teddy bear day at school and he showed up with his stuffed frog he was the only one with out a teddy bear. He came home really upset....and if you know me i don't like a lot of stuffed animals around so i gave in and got Peyton a bear....which by the way make 3 stuffed animals in our house!

We took the kids to see Santa....and they talked his ear off asking for everything they have seen on commercials. Which they didn't get any of.



And the after Christmas i convinced my mom, sister and 2 little nieces to come down for a few days.

Caymbree - i love this smile.

These 3 were quite the trouble makers!!!

We went to the movies...not the chipmunks but "Princess and the Frog" which was darling.

The kids just sat there and didn't move!

Thanksgiving in Utah....

We headed north to Provo Utah for Thanksgiving this year. We spent it with the Sefcik's and had a good time visiting with everyone. Brett and i (with kids) stayed at my cousin Jen and Rod's house, the kids had a blast and loved that they had friends right there when they woke up.
While we were there my cousin Julie took some family photo's for us, she is amazing and so talented behind the camera. Thank Ju.
We hope we can make it back up there next thanksgiving or hopefully sooner. Love ya guys!

Carnival Birthday Party!!!

Finally i have found some time to blog again!
This year i decided to combine Peyton and Brody's birthday party's, there is a 3 month gap between them but i figured it was close enough to get away with it. And i'm so glad i did, as it was a lot of work!!!
We rented a bounce house, snow cone machine and a spin art machine. We set everything up out in the back yard and let the kids loose.

I got the cupcake idea off of picky palate, they turned out way cute and were so easy!

I attempted to make a ball toss.

Here the kids are testing out the spin art machine, i would have never thought to rent this but a friend told me about it and the kids really liked it. I would definitely get it again.

OK these body boppers were so fun, it was pretty funny to watch the kids play with them. And surprisingly no injuries.

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY

Brody Carson Karren!!

This little 3 year old makes me laugh everyday. I can't believe how witty and smart he is at such a young age. He remembers everything he hears and everyone he meets. Brody is very independent and doesn't like help with anything. He can usually figure most things out by himself. He may be a smarty but also loves to call everyone and their dog a poo-poo head and stupid, and that's just if he likes you!

Happy Birthday Dude.

More pics of his carnival party to come!

Does it seem like EVERYONE is...

Pregnant?

NO i am not pregnant!!!
But it seems like everyone around me is or has just had a baby. I'm kinda feeling out of the loop on this but i don't think our time has come to dive into baby #3. I really want another one or two but i'm not sure if i can handle being out numbered. And there is always that 50/50 chance it's going to be another boy....!

If you have 3 or more kiddos tell me the pros and cons. Not that i need convincing but it's always good to know the other side before you make the leap.

Happy Halloween...

Peyton's pre-school had a Halloween party and performed a few songs for the parents. It was so cute. Then they went trick or treating to a few of the neighbors homes and showed off their costumes. Brody got right into too, he is ready to be a big kid like his brother.

My 2 super hero's!

Superman

Batman strutting his stuff!

We carved pumpkins this year, if you know me this is a big step. I hate the clean up part so i usually resort to mr.potatoe head pieces. But i decide that my kids need the experience. I remember carving pumpkins as a kid every year, my mom would buy us all our own pumpkins ans we loved it.

I love these 2 super hero's!
They loved trick or treating and filled their bags right to the top.

Look at those muscles!

SUPERMAN "say cheese"

Our Visitors...

We had my dad and Becky come and visit last month. Becky brought baby Caymbree with her and we all loved to play, snuggle and hold her.

My dad-he is one of our favorite guests to have around.

My sister Becky- yes she is going to KILL me for putting up this picture. She was in the middle of telling me "NO, don't take my picture." But that's too bad because i didn't get very many pics of her this trip.

So then we took this one. This was the morning her and Caymbree where leaving...sad day!

Can you tell this picture was forced?

Don't i looked good with a girl on my lap...maybe one day!

These 2 boys LOVE Miss. Caymbree Wynn,
They knew how to make her laugh when she was sad and they were very good little helpers for their Aunt Becky!

I love this Brody kid, he makes me laugh everyday.

The boys loved playing with Caymbree's toys.

Grandpa and the grand kids.

Me with the babe.

My dad and Brett went to the Colts vs. Cardinals game. And of course Colts won...go Peyton Manning.

Thanks dad for always spoiling us...your the best!
