Dinosaur Museum

We went to the Dinosaur Museum in Ogden last week. The kids had a blast!

My New Niece!

My sister Jessica had baby #5 a few weeks ago!
Sweet baby Azure, with me and her 2 yr. old brother, Kanyon

Sweet baby girl

her oldest sister, Jayden

3 yr. old brother, Ike

If you ask me, I think my sis. is a little crazy! Her kids are 9, 6, 3, and 2 yrs. old, then new baby! you go girlfriend! She is a very busy mommy :)

OuR NeW PuPpY!

I could not resist taking this free, Black Lab, puppy home with me! A man was giving him away at Walmart. I tried to call Brent to get his approval, but he didn't answer, so he got a big suprize when I got home! I figured we could find him a home if he didn't want him. Brent was kind of frustrated just because I made the decision without talking with him, but he couldn't help but like him too :) Brent grew up with a yellow lab and he was small like this, when he got him. Kunta was 6 weeks old when we got him. he is now 7 1/2 weeks old.
Look at those paws! He's gonna be a big dog! It took us a while to think of a name. he went without one for a few days, until we decided on Kunta. Like Kunta Kintay from the movie, "Roots" (about slavery, he was an African man on that show)

Cute baby Kunta taking a nap

My sweet puppy dog! Brent is going to hold this decision to me forever. Whenever he poops he tells me,"Your dog just pooped" that means" Go clean it up!! It does take alot of work having another animal around here, but I love it!

Kunta chasing Brayden around. My boys absolutely love him, except when he jumps on them and bites them :)

Tyson giving him some love. He really is an outside dog, but we bring him in once a day to play. we have been keeping him in the garrage at night since it has been snowing and we don't have a dog house for him yet.

Resting as we watch Conference. (Brayden did a good job at taking this pic) Our cat has been warming up to the dog since we got him. It is so funny to see them playing or fighting. the dog has bled a couple times from the cat scratching him :( He just want to play! I love our animals!

Funny Boys!

Thankgoodness it's warming up, because my boys sure do alot of this at our house:Sonic the Hedgehog is Brayden's favorite game. Tyson pretends to play with the other controller :)
Nice Mohawk do's! I think they kinda look funny, but hey it grows fast!

Story: The other day Brayden saw that it was snowing. He was telling me that the snow wasn't stopping then he continued to disciplone the snow saying, " Snow.... stop! 1...2...3...4...5! If you're not going to stop you're gonna get a spankin, Snow" (saying Snow like that was his name) He then counts to 5 again and says, "Okay, spankin time!"

I don't know if he literally tried to "spank" the snow, because I was listening to him from the other room, but I'm sure he tried. :) Makes me laugh!

(Sorry, dark picture, but I thought it was cute)

I bought the "New Moon" movie and once Tyson saw Edward on the front cover, he points to him and says, "Daddy!" Ha ha ha

Shamrock 5k Run

My Sis and I ran a race Saturday. It was way fun! I have been slacking on my running, so it wasn't my best. I ran it just a little over 29 min. (about a 10 min. mile) They gave us these cute 'Kiss me I'm Irish' necklaces.

Us, and our friend, Leslie. She rocked that race, came in 2nd over all, female. Ran the race in 21 min! wow!
It was cold! Glad we finished before the strom came in.

Once There was a Snowman

In the Sun he melted! Whenever our Snowman melted and his face fell off, we would go out and "fix" him. After 3 times of "fixing" the Snowman, this is what we have. The Alein Snowman!

New Glasses

What do you think? I got these glasses at www.zennioptical.com
The cheapest pair were only $8! ($12 w/S&H) These were $15 ($20 w/ S&H)
Dang good deal, and they're perscription and everything! All you have to do is type in your perscription and it takes 2 weeks to get to you. They also do perscription sun glasses, which I'll try next :)

Valentine Kisses

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
When I told Brent, this is what we did the other day. He said, "Why are you making them do girl stuff!" it's not girls stuff it's for Valentines Day! I guess I need to have a little girl so I can do things like this with her :)

This one cracks me up! Tyson looks so seductive :)

Brayden finally gave me a kissy face.... so cute.

This was our end project.

We also enjoyed decorating our front door and above our back sliding door with hearts and a paper chain :)

Last Saturday, we had a few friends and family come over for a fondue party. It was delicious!

After the dance, on our way back, his Jeep ran out of gas on the highway and we had to walk to a gas station in dresses and high heels, and we got something at the gas station for dinner! That sucked bad!

Snow Days

Gotta love playing in the snow!

Frosty George is his name!

My friend Kristin gave us this snowman kit for Christmas. It has everything you need to put on a Snowman. All the pieces are plastic, except the hat and the sticks for arms. the peices have parts to stick in the Snowman so they will stay. So fun!

The kids love looking out the window and seeing Frosty George waving at them :) I think he looks like he's dancing the way his arms are out.
