Lost Tooth

Well Nate has had a loose tooth for quite a while and all last weekend we were trying to convince him to let us pull it out but he wouldn't let us near it! Well on Monday he came home from school and it was still there but while eating lunch he looked over at me and said Mom, I think my tooth fell out and I said well where is it and he said I don't know. Just like Nik he swallowed his 1st loose tooth. I guess because they are twins they think they have to do everything alike! But here is his new photo with a missing tooth, the one next to it is loose too so pretty soon he will look just like Nik again! Cute Kid!!

House for Sale (anyone, anyone)

So it is official--Our house is up for sale! I'm not sure how I really feel about this plan but I guess we will see what happens. I gotta tell you the first time I drove up and saw the for sale sign in the front yard I got a little teary eyed but I do think this is the right thing for us to do right now. We had some people come look at it within the first few days we had it on the market which freaked me out a little but we haven't heard back so I guess they don't want it! Well wish us luck (I guess) on getting it sold and if you know anyone in the market for a house send them our way.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Last night we took the boys to see Walking with Dinosaurs at the Energy Solutions Arena. They had so much fun and as soon as it was over Nik asked when we could come and see the dinosaurs again! (In case you didn't know all of our boys are obsessed with dinosaurs)

Here are the boys in their seats at intermission!

Here is a long neck

Here are some "cera's" fighting. They weren't really triceratops they were something else but to my boys they were two Cera's (gotta love Land Before Time)

Here's another dino with the narrator. The dinosaurs were really big. I think if we hadn't been in the nosebleeds the boys might have gotten pretty scared!

And here is the boys favorite the T-Rex! (They also had Utah Raptors which are Nate's other favorite but I didn't get a picture of them for some reason) Noah didn't like the T-Rex very much it was too big and loud for him! But Nik & Nate thought it was awesome!!

Here is a video of the T-Rex protecting its baby. My camera definitely doesn't do it justice!
All in all it was a really fun night and the boys had so much fun!

Sledding Fun!

Who knew I had such crazy brave boys?
We went sledding yesterday down to the new church by our house and the boys had so much fun! They started out just going down the hill but pretty soon they wanted to try one of the jumps people had made and then they wanted to try a bigger one and a bigger one until they went off the biggest one there! They had the time of their lives and I was pretty proud that they are so brave (I wouldn't have dared to go off those jumps)!
Nik & Nate ready to hit the slopes!!


Noah spent most of the time just laying & playing in the snow!


This was Nate's first jump he caught some pretty good air! And had the biggest smile on his face!


Here is Nik catching some air!


This is Noah the first time Clint sent him down by himself-yes he is upside down!


Here's Clint having just as much fun as the kids! Best Dad Ever!


Clint and Noah sledding down the hill!


Nik jumping again!


And here is Nate with the biggest jump of the day! CRAZY!!

I think they would've stayed all night if we let them. They love the snow!

Birthday Boy!

Noah turned 3 years old on Sunday. I can't believe that my baby is 3! Time goes way too fast and I can't believe what a big boy he is already. We started the day out with the traditional birthday pancakes

then we opened some presents. Noah got a big boy bike so he can learn to ride with his brothers when it warms up outside!


After church we had dinner and then had all our family (both sides=little chaotic) come over for cake and ice cream! It was a lot of fun and Noah got lots of fun presents. We love you Noah and are so glad you are a part of our family. Thanks for always keeping us on our toes!

Christmas Time

So I can't believe Christmas is over already! It seems like so much work and then it is gone before you have time to enjoy it! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is recovering from all the craziness. We had a fun Christmas this year. On the 23rd we went to temple square which was beautiful as always but it was soooo cold! We rode trax downtown and the boys had more fun on "the train" then they did seeing the lights but hey it's tradition right?!? Here is all my boys on trax and at Temple Square.

Here is the boys on Christmas eve in their new PJ's

Then on Christmas day after opening presents we went to my parents and got to talk to Chris which was great. He is doing so good and loving every minute of his mission in Alaska! He did say that it is FREEZING!!! But he loves it! After my parents we went to Clints parents and the boys had the time of their lives playing out on the snowmobiles-they are definitely their fathers children! I think Nik and his cousins Audrey & Kyler would've stayed out all night if we let them!


Had to have a picture of my little angels making snow angels!


And Noah eating the snow!

All in all it was a great Christmas although I will definitely finish my shopping a lot earlier next year! Thanks to all our family and friends who made this Christmas so much fun! We love you!

Best Husband EVER!!

So I just want to take a minute to give a shout out to my wonderful husband! He is the best husband, father, & man that I know! I am so lucky that he chose me and that I get to spend eternity with him! Last week Clint was out of town the first half of the week and by the time he got back I was a wreck (kudos to you moms who's husbands work out of town a lot I don't know how you do it!) But on Friday morning when I woke up Clint told me Camie & Jeff were coming over that afternoon to stay with the boys overnight! He took me to Salt Lake where we walked around at the Gateway and started a little Chritmas shopping! Then we went to our hotel which overlooked the Gallivan Center Ice Rink and walked around there a whileIt was so nice to just relax and be with the man of my dreams for a while uniterrupted! A BIG Thanks to Camie & Jeff we owe you guys!! and Thanks Clint for being the Best! I love you!!
