Fun Weekend with Cousins!

Landon's sister Elizabeth and her family came into town this weekend and the kids were really excited to see their cousins. They had a really good time together and got to do lots of fun things.

Here they are at the Hoover Dam.

In front of the M&M Store.


They got to go to Circus Circus Adventure Dome and ride lots of fun rides.

They also got to watch a circus act. My kids haven't stopped talking about the crazy clowns. Sadie says she loves clowns.

Pink Boots!

This is just a typical Sadie moment:) My mom found these pink boots at the DI and she warned me that they wouldn't fit her yet but she knew Sadie would just love them. Well if you know Sadie of course she LOVED them. I think she would have slept in them if I let her.

Do I really need to say anything to this pose?

You are too cute Sadie Ladie:)

What a Beautiful Day!!!!!!

I loved being outside today, and I know the kids were grateful to be outside and not have to clean house or something like that!! The temperature was 68 and felt wonderful! I love that we can take advantage of the wonderful weather and fun parks here in Vegas! My motto is "Enjoy it while you can" so while there is nice weather we will try and be outside:)

Ashley, Taylor, Kennedy, Jantzen, Sadie, Tate, and Jaron

When they were sweet!

So I have been working way to much and haven't had time to update the blog, so I decided to hurry and put some of my favorite pictures of my kids on. You know those pictures that you as a mother just love looking at because you know how sweet that moment was.

This picture makes me laugh everytime I see it because I just can't help but think "Do you think Batman ever needed a binki to get through his day?"

Seeing Kennedy in pink just makes my day. When she was little I used to do her hair all cute and frilly with curls and ponytails and bows, like I still do Sadie's. But I think she is starting to come around. She got some clothes for Christmas that have pink on them and she is willing to wear them. No ponytails or curls but she is very particular about how her hair is done. Sadie is my little chunker in this picture, she sure has thinned out and is as beautiful as ever.
I will try and find more picutres of Kennedy, Sadie and Taylor playing dress ups!! Gotta love little girls:)

This is my favorite picture of all time!!! Sadie and Coleman have those cute round faces and they look so innocent and sweet in this picture, I know Amy will agree with me that we should cherish those innocent times but be ready for what is going on behind those shiny eyes.... probably TROUBLE!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family! I had good intentions of getting Christmas cards out to everyone, but I didn't:( Since I have started working again my schedule is really off. I am gone all day and then tired when I get home, hopefully I can change my schedule soon!
Anyway we are doing good and our kids were very lucky to have such a great Christmas this year!! We have had many blessings that have made the true Christmas spirit come into our home. We hope all of you have felt the spirit of Christmas as well!!

We love the traditional picture of kids waiting to see if Santa came!!

Sadie got her American Girl doll that she has been wanting. I got her the catalog a couple months ago and she has been looking at it and showing me all the wonderful things in the catalog that she wants. She was very happy:)

Tate got his remote control car and has been running over everybody's feet all morning long, of course he has a big smile on his face as he is doing it!

Kennedy got an electric guitar. I am listening to her try and play it right now, does anybody know where we can get her guitar lessons????????!!!!!!!!!!

So we put the kids to bed and Tate was a little sad when he went to bed so Sadie being the sweet heart that she is snuggled her brother and let him wear her High School Musical eye cover. I didn't know that she had let him wear it until I went into kiss them goodnight and make sure they all fell asleep. I laughed and of course had to take a picture. What a great big sister Sadie is!

Here are the little monsters in the their new pj's on Christmas eve!! Tate got Cars pj's and Kennedy and Saide got High School Musical pj's!

Last night we went to Grandpa and Grandma Goddard's for Christmas Eve dinner. Grandma loves getting all the grandkids stuff that says Las Vegas on it, this year we got the cute hats and some gloves!! The kids love them. Too bad we missed the snow already for Vegas!! Maybe when they visit cousins in Utah they will really get good use out of them:)

Happy 4th Birthday Tate!!!

It is hard to believe that my baby is now 4! Wow I just can't believe it. It is a little hard to have a birthday 3 days before Christmas, but I think we pulled it off! Tate wanted to have a bowling party with his friends. It worked out really well that everyone we hang out with was out of school so they could all come. And of course after waking up early to make Tate his special breakfast and then finish last minute stuff before the party I forgot the camera so luckily Megan had her camera, but I think it brings out the devil in people! Notice the red eyes on everyone!!!!

I loved this picture of Tate, people always tell me how cute he is when they first meet him. I always laugh to myself and think if you could only see the little monster I see:) I think I captured it a little.......

Here is Tate and his best bud Kohl!!!

Sadie and Tate love to bowl, I think Sadie just loves to pose!!!!!




Here are the rest of the friends that came to Tate's party! Tate you are a great kid and I hope you have the best year being 4!!! Love you lots kid:)

Thank goodness they aren't twins!!

So Tate and his cute little "Girl"friend Sarah have been watching the dancing Larsen's over and over and so I told them we could take their picture and make them the dancing elves. So they did one picture smiling and one with a silly face. All I can say is I know I am glad Tate isn't a twin:) Just the one of him is enough for me to love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
