Great Start to 2014

Sending Snaps & I had to save this one of Ryker putting this on Aftons head. He kills me. This girl will someday beat him up.

Ryan got home from work early {doesn't happen too often around here} So we made the best of it and went down to Provo Beach Resort. 

Where we played arcades, went on the merry-go-round & stuffed our faces with ice cream.

This little mama has been going through spurts of sickness' but honestly I think it might just be her teeth finally breaking through.

These would be the first ones & they might just be the death of me. 

IMG 0859IMG 0863

We often go over to my moms house and hang out. Kimmie just happened to be there and we got to hang out with her! {while gg goes to another chemo treatment :( }

Its a love hate relationship with how fast this one is growing on me. He is way to smart for his own good. He catches on to EVERYTHING! Which is good and bad. 

He can have a devil side & push Sissy down or throw something at her or me. Or maybe stick his hand in his pants to touch his poop. Er!

But he does randomly tell me "You're the best " or "I want to hold you" or "let go play cars" or "mom you like that?" He is really good to remember to say Please & Thank you! I love that about him!

He is such a sweet spirit. He knows when I am flustered & am trying to do something with Afton screaming, he trys to get her attention and make her laugh.  

Ryan got him that hat & he never goes a day with out it. I have to pry it off his head come Sunday.

I took this picture while rocking her & immediately thought it looked identical to Ryker. Lately when Afton gets really tired she does the cutest little jabber & smiles. Melt.

Some friends of ours passed us there Jazz tickets. Lucky us! Such a fun night just Mr. C & I. 

IMG 0909

don't pay attention to the chocolate face or the buggers coming out. This moment was hilarious! I was feeding Sis and he was hanging out in the room with us. Playing with Sissy's walker tell me "Bye mom, i'm going to school, see you later. Give me kiss, hugs. Bye" & being the mean mom that I am . I said "Bye have a good day" just as he was walking out I said " Say hello to the Witch". ha. He lately has become very scared of the "Witch". {Ursala off little mermaid}. So sad I played into it. This is his reaction. He come running back in and shuts the door a little & says "No mom! No witch" I am so mean. I don't do it that often though.

It was little cute Lady's 65th Birthday! She is so awesome! Such a great example & such a fighter as she is going through another round of Chemo. Love you GG! 

IMG 0928IMG 0930

Can you see those scratches all over my face? Does anybody else's pretty much 3 year old digg at your face? You'd think it would be from my baby. Nope. 

IMG 0933

Sometimes both kids way up at 6 am & i just put them on the floor and go back to bed. Life of a mother. 

IMG 0941

Sissy's first time in the car/ cart. Lovin it? 

IMG 0952

IMG 0968IMG 0970

Sometimes when you send your boys on a little one on one action. They come back from Cabelas with Camo for mom. I'll take it. They are so good to me!

IMG 0971IMG 0973

We have been blessed with great health with all the sicknesses going around (knock on wood). 

I have been loving my new calling in activity days. 

So fun to be home with my two babies & watching them grow! Sorry I always over do it with the pictures but they say a thousand words!

Goodbye 2013.

Weird to think its 2014. This year went by way to fast. 

This year. 

We built tents on Sunday because we have 1:00 church. 

We played with snow inside a lot because I'm a wuss. 

Baby brother got home from Serving the Lord for 2 years.

We remodeled the laundry room. I got a new washer & dryer. (extra plus!)

My baby boy turned 2!

Me & Ryker had a great few months to ourselves this year before sharing them with sister in April.

Afton was blessed.

Ran another 5k with both babies in a double jogger. Crazy.  

We celebrated 5 whole years of being married. 

We gained another cousin this year. Baby Kate. 

I turned 25! What? Quarter of a Century! 

Afton went camping for the first time. To strawberry. 

We took lots of naps together as 3! 

Afton went to the Zoo for the fist time. Ryker was in heaven with the Animals!

Ryan hit 30! 

We went sledding at the Cabin.

We attempted potty training numerous times. :( 

Ryker built a huge snowman this year. 

We had a great 24th of July celebration at our house this year. 

We love to go to the Park when it is warm. 

Ryan built a shed & got a couple new trucks this year. 

Ryan is ward missionary. & I am serving in Activity Days. 

What another great year. I feel like it has flown faster with 2 kids to keep my attention. But I am so grateful. Love my family. 

New Years We went to Pizza Pie Cafe. Went to the Cottles for Games & hang out. Made it till about 11. 

The kids fell asleep. Me and Ryan watched the ball drop &  rang in the new year with a kiss and went to bed. Old people problems.

December

Gosh I love December. The cozy house filled with Christmas Decorations. The smell of pine. Well Fake "scents" pine.

The glow of the lights on the tree. The yummy baking. All the family get togethers. How ever I am sad we never made it to temple square this year. :(

This year I did 2 trees. And I think from now on. There will always be 2 trees. I love it.

Grandma and Grandpa stopped through from Idaho on there way to down south to get out the cold. Lucky ducks!

First snow storm. And it was a good one! Ryker loved it.

Our annual Ugly sweater party. 

IMG 0501

Growing up I loved the count down things my mom did. Figured I'd try it out. It was a great success with the Chocolate Calendar. 

Kim also came up to hang out with us while grandma has been getting Chemo :( Glad we could spend time with Aunt Kim though!

 

IMG 0503IMG 0506

Our ward party was so much fun! They did a big ham and who hash dinner. Such a fun theme. I won the contest of the best who hash!

Mom turned…. um. 25… plus 20? We lit those babies with a torch ha ha. (true story)

IMG 0550IMG 0556

We had a good family night making a ginger bread house. Me and Ryan got easily flustered with the dang thing. We couldn't get it to stay up with frosting. So… We got the hot glue gun out!

IMG 0563IMG 0565IMG 0561

Matching Jams! I love the whole Christmas Eve Jams. But.. I gave them to them earlier so they could wear them the whole month of December :D

IMG 0569IMG 0585

We made a trip down to my good friend Amanda's Who lives in Spanish Fork. Haven't seen her forever! It was good to catch up. And… She chopped my hair off! I love it!

IMG 0573IMG 0575IMG 0572IMG 0577

I think I gave Shelbey the itch to chop. We chopped hers off as well!

IMG 0684IMG 0685

Christmas Morning!!!

IMG 0712IMG 0714

So much fun with kids! They are at such fun ages. And will be for quite some time. When Ryker was at the top of the stairs looking at the drums he says "Ah, for me?? For me??"

Cutest kid. He loved opening all the presents. It took a while. But it was so fun watching him. Afton just wanted to tear and eat all the paper. She does love a lot of the fun baby toys she got though.

IMG 0717IMG 0718

IMG 0720

Santa always spoils mom more than dad. But… i'll take it. Ryan got necessities. A new camo coat, cologne, socks, slippers and boring stuff. 

IMG 0724IMG 0723

Mom got spoiled with a  new watch, coat, perfume, massage & pedicure. 

IMG 0726IMG 0727

We also got spoiled from grandma & grandpa as always.

IMG 0747IMG 0742

After Christmas we headed up the cabin for a weekend of some Sledding fun.  We made a pit stop and visited Grandpa Thackers grave. Miss you! 

IMG 0764IMG 0765

To say Sis loved sledding is an understatement. Whenever the sled stopped she would kick and cry a little to keep going. She had a blast.
