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!!

Fall Fun

Look at this stylin Fedex Driver
Kaden with some of his classmates on their fieldtrip. They each got to pick one apple off the tree.
JD doing Yoga on one of date nights to prove Colby and Aaron wrong
Kaden's new favorite thing to do is go motorcylcing. Jaxson has been so nice to share his motorcycle with Kaden. While Colby and JD have turned one of my parents field into a race track with jumps and a burm. On this particular day Colby borrowed another little motorcycle from a neighbor so of course Kaden and Jaxson were racing around trying to beat eachother, they got going pretty fast. One time Kaden was more worried about were Jaxson was then where he was going and ended up crashing on the side of one of the jumps. He brushed off the dirt and he was ready to go.Luckily Kaden hasn't had any serious crashes, Santa just might be bringing him some motorcycle gear!!
My sweet Ty crying after he had to get off the 4-wheeler to give Kayci a turn. Thanks Wells for letting us join in on the motorcycling fun.

Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN... from Batman & Bumblebee (or something that stings- Kaden would always say this when people would ask him what he was going to be for Halloween)
