Christmas Day 2009

Kaden ready to ride his present from Santa, Ty really wanted it to be his, he got a scooter.



Is that bed head or what?
Ready to ride, once the snow melts
JD and his fam ( Mom, Angie, JD, Sandra, Laurie, Michael, Dad) In the afternoon we went to JD's parents for dinner, his Mom had the house decorated gorgeous as usual. It is always fun to see what new centerpieces she is going to have and how pretty the presents are always wrapped. It was great to hang out there for a few hours.
Grandpa Reeves with his new fire crew!! We spent the rest of the night at my parents unwrapping more gifts and eating more food. My parents gave all their grandsons semi-automatic nerf guns. The boys had so much fun!!
Merry Christmas!! I don't know if I have ever appreciated hanging out with family as much as I did this year. Family was what made Christmas so special for me. After presents at our house we went to my sister for my favorite Christmas meal, breakfast casserole. Came home got ready went to Bountiful and then off to Riverton. Christmas is always a busy crazy day but I love it. Thanks everyone for making Christmas so great for my family and I!!

Christmas Eve 2009

e

On Christmas Eve we went to the annual Reeves Family party, which is always fun. During the white elephant game JD's professional bull riding shirt was found. To say the least Colby had been sneaking in his closet. His reaction was hillarious, luckily it is safe and sound in the good care of my mother. After the party all the grandkids get to open up their first present of Christmas, PJ's!! Thanks Mom and Dad.

Temple Square Adventure

Getting in the Christmas Spirit!!

I love my BOYS!!

All I can say is what an adventure....
-Trax train chuck full due to free ride night
- Sing- a-long at Delta center totally full
- Rush through the lights hoping to beat the sing- a-long rush for trax
- Took wrong train to University
- Left JD at Burger King (he was getting fries for the hungry & cold kids)
- JD ran a mile to catch-up
- Aaron & Kristy threatened people so we could get on train to go home
- Our very own trax train sing-a-long (put on by the people surrounding Aaron & JD)
- We made it home and had some really good laughs

Till next year Mortensens and anyone else who wants to join us on our crazy tradition

Gingerbread Houses

Every year we go to my parents house and make a HUGE mess making gingerbread houses. All the kids love it. I think more candy got in Ty's mouth than on his house :)

A New Tradition!!

So I totally copied this idea from a neighbor (thanks Summer) but it sounded like so much fun. The Sunday after Thanksgiving we decorated the Christmas tree, read some Christmas stories then watched The Grinch then we all had a big sleepover under the tree. The boys loved it!! JD was a little concerned that we might be going to bed early because we had the boys go to sleep around nine, but he was the first one snoring under the tree!! It was a great way to start the Christmas season and get a nice joyful feeling into our home before FedEx comes a calling....

Wahooo

Another little one is on it's way!! So far things are pointed towards another little toe-head boy!! I am due June7 which is great June will just be a HUGE birthday party. Kaden was born June 28, Tyler June 15 and now this one June 7. They will all be exactly three years apart CRAZY!!
So naturally I was hoping for a little girl to try and even up the score in our house but if you look closely at pic #3 it's not looking like I am going to get my wish. I am only 12 weeks along so it is a ?boy but unless that is the babies umbilical cord..... I am actually really excited to have another little boy I won't have to buy this baby anything for years and boys really are a lot of fun. I was playing basketball with Tyler the other day which I love, then I thought about playing dolls or make believe with a girl and I am not very good at that sort of stuff.
So while the doctor was giving me the ultrasound it was absolutely amazing to see this little baby that is 2 inches long move it's little arms, put his hands over his face and watch it's little heart beating. I wasn't expecting an ultrasound at the visit so it was a real treat.
Kaden and Tyler are both already talking to my tummy. Kaden told me the other day that the baby can share his shoe bin, since we only have four, he is a really sweet little boy!!

Happy 7th Anniversary

November 23 was our 7th anniversary together, and we had a blast. We went to the Desert Star
Theater together and then were able to sleep in Monday morning. (Thanks Amanda for keeping the kids over night) There was nothing fancy about it and no gifts were exchanged, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. The most precious thing I have in life is my husband. It is so nice to be married to someone who is so much fun to be around and can always make you laugh. This past year of our marriage has to have been one of the best. Thanks honey for everything you amaze me everyday!!
