Busy, Busy, Busy!!

I know I have been MIA for the past 2 months. Here is a long post to catch you up on whats been going on at out house.:)


Mckell graduated preschool - she loved her class and her teacher.

K.C. got the Radiant Roadrunner award at his school. He had to accomplish a bunch of things to be able to get it. We are so proud of him!

Mckell attended Safety Town this year. She has been looking forward to it ever since K.C. went before he started kindergarten. She had so much fun!

Allee broke her collar bone and had to wear this wrap for 2 weeks. She hated it, but she wore it without complaining. We are still not sure exactly what happened. Her and K.C. collided at a splash pad. K.C. got a fat lip, and she broke her collar bone?!?! Go figure!

K.C. played baseball again this year. His team was the New York Yankee's which he loved cuz that is where Papa & Grama are.

We went camping for with the family on Memorial Weekend. My parents came home from their mission in New York for a two week medical leave, so they got to come with us. It was so nice to be with family on the mountain and out of the heat of SG. The kids absolutely love to go camping, so we do alot of it during the summer. The kids caught Horny Toads, and took turns holding them.

I went to Vegas with 2 of my BFF's for a girls trip. We had so much fun, we didn't do anything but lay be the pool, shop, and eat. Hey- but isn't that what a girls trip is all about!! Ann-we missed you!!


Allee turned 4 today. My friend Annie made her this cute as heck cake (it turned out so cute) She has had her B-day planned for a month now. She wanted to have a slumber/pajama party. So that's what we did, minus the sleepover part!! All her little friends came in their P.J.'s. They watched Enchanted, ate popcorn, got their toenails painted and colored. It turned out to be really fun, and Allee loved it! Happy Birthday Girl!! We also chopped Allee's hair a week ago. She has been begging to get it cut for a while now. It turned out so cute, and she loves it. After she got it cut she had a perma grin on all day and kept looking at herself in the mirror.

The Biggest Loser

Are you a fan?? - if you are then you will recognize these two. I ran into both of them at the gym this morning. They said that they were in town visiting their cousin and needed somewhere to work out! They both looked great, and were really nice! So if you are heading to the Washington Rec Center keep your eyes open for them.

Trampoline + Boy = Blue Cast

Easter Festivities

We had our annual Neighborhood Eater Egg Hunt on Friday.

 

The kids dyed our Easter Eggs all by themselves. They thought they were so cool. They wanted to do more after they finished all 18 of them.

 

-Easter Morning -
The Easter bunny hid all of the kids Easter baskets really well this year. They had a lot of fun trying to find them all. They look so cute in their Easter outfits!

 

We had a Bar-B-Que and Easter Egg Hunt at my Brothers today. My parents sent stuff for the kids to have an Easter egg hunt, and also cute outfits for all the grandkids.

 

White sands

We went to the White Sands the other day with some friends. We had so much fun! My kids love doing anything outside. We packed a picnic, climbed on the rocks, and played in the sand. By the time they were done we had sand in every crevice, but we had a great time!! Thanks for the invite Rach!

I have the cutest girls ever!

Look how cute this pic is of me & my girls. I love it! Thanks to the most talented sis-in-law/best friend ever!!!

Happy St. Patty's

Well the little leprechaun found our home. K.C. & Kevin even built a trap to try to catch him. But, he out smarted them!!

He did however ransack our home. There were cupboard doors left open, chairs tipped over, bar stools up-side down, I think he even got into our honey (we heard they like honey). The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever. K.C. was a little sad that the leprechaun got away. He was really excited to catch him and take all of his gold. :) (if only!!!) However, he did leave us some treats that we found in our Microwave

Our Superbowl Party

We Watched, We Ate!!!!

Happy New Years!!

Wow it is 2009. Have you all made your New Years Resolutions? Is all of your Christmas Decor put away till next year? I am not one to make New Years Resolutions, but I do like to reflect back on the year and think about what I can do different to make this year better than the last. The one thing that I came up with is to try harder to live in the day - live in the moment. meaning: Enjoy the moment for what it is. Laugh harder and more. Say I love you more. Don't be so quick to get angry. Don't sweat about the little things - Remember that most things are the little things! I hope you all had a wonderful New Years, and I hope that 2009 brings you greater happiness than 2008.


For New Years we had the family over and played games, ate lots of food, and had a ball.

Christmas Day

I can't believe it is all over. We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids got everything they wanted and more! Over the Holiday we did a lot of lounging, and played a lot of games. I don't think we even left our house for a week:) It was wonderful!! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was very low key at our house this year. I think it is the first year since we have been married that we have been with just our little family. Quite honestly I didn't even know what to do. We ended up playing games, going for a ride to look at Christmas lights, and ended with the kids opening their P.J. presents. It was a very enjoyable evening!

Ellett Family Christmas Party

We went over to my brothers house last night for a Christmas Party with my immediate family. The kids all got to open a present from their cousin gift exchange. We always have so much fun when we are together!!! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve, and a very merry Christmas Day!!!
..... I love the picture of Cari & Malea, it makes me smile :)

Christmas Parties

The Wallin Family Christmas Party was on Sunday. The kids love playing with their cousins, and Kathy (kevins mom) always has extravagant and delicious food prepared!! The kids got to open a present from the cousins gift exchange so they were very excited!

The extended Ellett family Christmas Party was last night. We had so much fun - good food, games, & great company! It is always nice to get together with all of my cousins and aunts and uncles on my dad's side of the family!!

wahoooooo!

NO SCHOOL! - SNOW DAY! We spent our morning out playing in the snow. Making show angels, having snowball fights with the neighbors, and making a reindeer snowman. Now we are enjoying hot chocolate. Happy Snow Day!!!

K.C.'s Christmas Program

K.C. had his school Christmas Program this week. It was really crowded (standing room only). It was really hot, and the girls were frustrated because they couldn't see. But, other than that it was a good program. K.C. and Easton are in the same class. They both did really good - I think! (I was one of the parents in the very back standing in a crowd of other sweating parents, and trying to entertain my other kids who couldn't see anything but the backs of other people):) Well they both looked really cute, that is all that really matters right!!!!

Our Thanksgiving Weekend (late)

Wow, sorry how everything on my blog lately has been (late)!! We went up north to Kevin's Grandparents for Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun seeing his cousins that we don't get to see very often. Kay & Norma were such gracious hosts and the meal was delish!



We took the kids to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork Canyon. You drive around this huge park with your lights off listening to Christmas Music while looking at all the beautiful lights. The kids loved it, we went around twice.


We also went to Thanksgiving Point to the Dinosaur Museum. That place is huge, it just keeps going and going! The kids thought it was awesome! They loved playing in the dirt with the little dinos, and they especially loved digging in the dirt for dinosaur bones - even Taylee joined in on that one.






Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving (now that it is almost Christmas)

Happy (late) Birthday Cari

Happy Birthday Cari! Cari is one of the funniest, nicest, thoughtful-est, and best sister-in-laws ever! I hope you had a fun day!

This is why......

I dont buy Make-up for my girls. However, they do look beautiful!

This is what we have been up to

Girls Trip!! There was alot of talking, texting, shopping, and eating. Not alot of sleeping. We had a blast and cant wait to do it again next year. (Kena you better be there!!) Thanks Jen and Katie for letting us stay at your house. Good times and lots of memories: Staying up way too late, waking up way too early, chocolates, Maccaroni Grill, PF Changs, Jason-wink-wink, Annie I will always remember that little room - hahahaha, the person at the door-who the heck was that?, texting. etc..... Girls, I had a blast!


K & M had their last soccer games this last weekend. They both did so good! I am sad it is over. I love watching my kids play soccer, or any sport for that matter! I guess I am a true soccer mom:)



Last week it was my little Brother Clint's Birthday. We went out to the cemetery and left baloons. I can't believe it has been eight years since he passed away. I miss him and love him. But, I know one day I will see him again!! Love ya Bud!

Happy Halloween!!! ( A little late)

We started out the day at K.C. school for their annual Halloween Parade. Then I helped out with their Halloween Party. We made cookies, played musical chairs, ring tossed, pumpkin bowled, and painted. Mckell came and helped me with the pumpkin bowling.

Later we headed to Mckells preschool for their Halloween parade. They Paraded around for all the parents. They sang a few Halloween songs, then Trick-or-Treated to all of the Parents. Maesi tagged along.

That night we went over to Brandon & Maleas and had pizza and sugar cookies before we went out Trick-or-Treating. The kids had a ball running from house to house collecting all of thier candy. Our Neighborhood is awesome!! There was a house giving out Hot dogs, Another one giving out Frazzle Slushies, there was a Haunted House, and a Haunted forrest, and even a witch riding around on her old fashioned bike giving out candy. Fun for all! Even Taylee loved it!

Hope all of your Halloweens were as great as ours!
