PBS Pals

Our boys have gradually turned themselves into
PBS junkies. This is a morning ritual now. They
used to come in and wake me up ready for breakfast
but now they just know their way around enough to
find what they want in the mornings. They really love
this cute program called "Sid the Science kid" and are
also fans of "Super Why".

Doctor Visit

So today would have been nice if it was a normal Monday, but it wasn't. I watch two little boys on Monday mornings so to get ready for them to come I had put Greyson up to the table to eat his breakfast and then I went off doing my own stuff when I hear Greyson start to cry. I go over to him to see what was the matter to find nothing looking out of the ordinary so I ask him what was wrong. Greyson proceeds to tell me that he has stuck some of his KIX cereal up his nose. Sure enough way up in his nose was a little ball of cereal. I first tried to suck it out with a nose bulb thing but that wasn't working so then I tried a toothpick and that didn't work so I decided that I was going to have to take him to the doctor. At the doctors he was doing great until the doctor was pulling it out when he decided he didn't like that and pulled his head away. With that pull of his head the instrument that the doctor was using cut the inside of Greysons nose. So, I then had to make a trip to the pharmacy for a prescription to put in his nose to help with the cut. FUN STUFF!! I'm not completely sure that this is never going to happen again with Greyson because with everything he has a hard time learning his lesson. What a great way to start off the week.

PAY IT FORWARD!!

So here is how it works.....
The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be or when it will arrive will be a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Leave me a comment to let me know that you are going to play and then go and make a "Pay it Forward" post of your own to keep the fun going.

Send me an email at emmejota90@hotmail.com to leave your name and address and then sit back and wait for your gift to come.

This is going to be fun and I can't wait to surprise you with something really AWESOME!

No Computer

So I have a good excuse as to why I haven't had a new post for a bit, our computer is down for the moment. It is complicated and I don't really want to bore you with the details. Cassandra, my sister-in-law, was willing to let us use her lap top until our computer is up and going again. Thanks Casa!! Just a little update, we are all done with our Christmas shopping and the boys are anxiously waiting for Santa to come. We have a tradition that we do each year with Davids side of the family that to some might seem a little crazy. On Christmas Eve we have a party over and Davids parents house where we eat tons of food and goodies and play games. Around eight that night we put all the young kids to bed so Santa can come and the adults play more games and make candy bags for the kids, then just before midnight we wake the kids up and wait for midnight to hit and when it does we go around the room to everyone and tell them Merry Christmas and give them a hug. After all the hugs we sit down and open up all our gifts. It gets to be a crazy mess in there with all the boxes and wrapping paper and when it is all done it is aroung one thirty in the morning. Crazy tradition but we all look forward to it. It makes it nice because this way we have Christmas morning to go to my parents house and spend that with them and my side of the family. We enjoy the holiday season, being able to spend time with family and friends, decorate, bake those yummy holiday goodies, but most of all celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope we can all take the time to remember and reflect upon what is important this season. I will hopefully have my computer up and running again but until then sorry there wont be any pictures. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas spent with family and friends.

Happy "Late" Halloween

Ok so I know that this post is a couple weeks late but alot of stuff was going on around Halloween and then I have been sick with a nasty cold for the last week in a half so better late then never right. The boys did not just get to go trick or treating once but three different times this year. Jared and Kassey offered to take the boys to their wards trunk r' treat the Wednesday before Halloween, we took them to Davids parents ward Halloween party at the Vista Assisted Living Center where they were able to decorate Halloween buckets and go around to the residents and trick or treat and finally on Friday we went to the Minico playoff football game where the booster club organized a trunk r' treat for the community and those who were attending the game. Ian and Greyson had tons of fun this year trick or treating and they got lots of candy.

This year Greyson was a tiger. He looked so cute with his big brown eyes and the cute tiger face.


Ian wanted to be several different things this year but ended up being a dinosaur. We took a frog costume and with the help from my mom added some spikes and a tail to the back to look like a dinosaur. He really liked it and looked way cute.

Costume Party

Our good friends Bud and Tiffany Jensen threw an adult Halloween party this year at their new home. To attend you had to dress up in a costume. David had a hard time deciding what he wanted to go as but finally decided on the Incredible Hulk. I wanted to go as a dead bride but couldn't find a really cheap wedding dress to wear so I settled for a gothic bride. We found all our costume stuff at the DI and Wal-Mart so they were pretty cheap. It was so fun to paint ourselves and dress up like little kids again. Their was a costume contest for the best boy and girl costumes. With my amazing face painting abilities David won for the boys and our friend Brandi Meiners won for the girls as Cruella de Ville. Hopefully this will become a tradition to look forward to each year because it is always fun to dress up and spend time with your friends.
