Are you ready?!

We'll here is our tree in the process of decorating it! It is a little lop sided and uneven but it is good enough for us!! No, it's not the beautiful, perfect, decorated tree you were expecting, but the boys had a great time hanging ornaments! This makes for good memories, right? One day I will have that perfect tree again, but I am not wishing for it. (I don't want my kids to grow up!) I love to decorate for the holidays and make things all festive!! So fun..

Thanksgiving with the Chatterton's

What a great Thanksgiving! I love this time of year! We had a great time and a ton of food which was no surprise! (the more the merrier!)

The cousins have such a great time together, it is so fun to watch all their little brains working all at once. We are so grateful all of are family is close, and we can enjoy each others company!

The Shining!

Here we are, gotta have a picture of the hunting tree adventure!

Here's Kirby, proud of his finding!(Until we compared it to Grandpa's!)

I had to take a picture of Bryce and Papa adoring one another. How sweet!

Lacey just enjoying the ride!

I can't believe it's time to go cut down a tree again! Years go by faster and faster! It has became tradition to go up in the mountains and pick out the perfect tree. So Saturday we went and Papa Lynn was able to come and it was a great time, like always. It was such a nice day. Kirby is still complaining their is no snow,but it was nice not trudging through the snow getting a tree..

Lacey and I stayed in the truck and were toasty warm, while the boys jumped out and took off straight up the hill. It's so fun to see how proud Bryce and Rusty are when they come walking to the truck with a tree! I will post the final product when it's decorated!:)

Grandpa Kingfords Strength.

Well Grandpa Kingsford is a very sick guy, once again! I don't mean that in a bad way. He has been on his death bed several times in just the last few years and he is a fighter, he always pulls through.. He turned 80 years old on June 5th. He has such a big heart and tries to hide it under his gruff voice, but he can't fool me. I am so grateful for those talks that we have been able to have one on one. I truly cherish that time. All my grandparents are great examples and have taught me more than they know. They inspire me, and make me want to do my best. One of the things my grandpa has always done is plant a garden. (It is the best looking one in town,for sure!) Despite him being short of breath, conquering colon cancer, and having a hard time getting around, he manages to plant and take care of his garden. I can't leave out the best part, which is when he calls and says to stop by and get some vegetables. He always has a great sense of humor whether life is grand or the pits.. It is so hard for me to watch our grandparents getting older, but I know that's life and the plan. So I pray for my grandpa to stay strong and endure this rough time.. I know he receives strength from above and if anyone one can conquer this it is him... We love you, Grandpa King.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Here's daddy ready to blow out his candles with a lot of help!!:)

Well, 32 years old! How does that make you feel daddy? You get more handsome every year! Sunday was Kirb's Birthday, we had a great day. We went to church, then came home and I made breakfast for lunch! (Kirby loves breakfast.) Then we relaxed sang and blew out candles and ate cake.. Oh their were no presents to open because Kirby bought a snowmobile helmet, boots, and suit, so no big surprise but It was a fun day spending time with the birthday boy!!

We love you! Happy Day!!

High Five Club!

Bryce came home from pre-school today and was so excited, he is in the High Five Club at school! This means that he can recognize every letter in the alphabet! (What a little smarty.) He was so happy and couldn't wait to tell daddy and grandma! He loves going to school and looks forward to it. I am so glad that I get to stay home and enjoy those little moments. I was so proud I wanted to cry. I am so blessed to have such a perfect little family.. Great job Bryce, I am so proud of you..

Story Time Fun.

I have totally been failing in the reading department with the kids. So when we woke up and it was cold and rainy it was time for some stories.. My boys love to read for hours. It is so great to hold and snuggle them. We had a lazy relaxing day, it was so nice. I hope to get better with the reading now that the weather is cold, and enjoy story time more often!!

Kirby meets Kirby!

Today I had a vacuum salesman come to my door and insisted on coming in and showing me the amazing Kirby vacuum. I have always wanted to get one but I always had a hard time spending a lot of money on a vacuum. Well, the salesman won, he gave me two knives and a mini vacuum for my car, just to get in the door. Then the demonstration began, he hooked and unhooked, vacuumed and cleaned, to show me all the dirt I was missing with my own vacuum. Yuck, I have to say he made my carpets look like they were filthy. The price he came up with was 1,600 and as he continued his spill he replied this is the lowest price I can give and a great deal. Well of course I couldn't give in.. Yet!! So he ended up calling his boss and having him talk to me. He asked me what I would pay and I said 1,000 and easy as that it was a deal!! I couldn't believe it!! So I wrote out a check and now I have 2 Kirby's!!! One to love and one that cleans! What more could you ask for!!! :)

Tis the Season!!

Okay, I have to post one more bow because it made me so excited for Christmas! I will definitely be finding an outfit to match it.. I had a bow making day at my house with some good friends in the ward and we had a great time sharing ribbon, ideas, food, and lots of laughs. The kids also had a fun play day. With 6 little ones running around with great imaginations! We all enjoyed ourselves.. What a great day!

I Have Talent!!!

I have been so excited today! My good blogging buddy Rosie gave me instructions on how to make these cute bows. I have tried several different ways and after all the time, ribbon, and, patients it never quite turns out as good as I thought.(Maybe it's the one making them!) So I am either having a lucky day or this bow is really cute!!(Oh and I can't leave out my little poser! :) ) I love to dress up my little girl. I'm not sure what I did with all my time before I had her. A new outfit is not complete without a matching bow and bracelet! Kirby just loves to have a girly girl,even though he tries not to show it! (I see that proud daddy smile!) Well let me know if I passed the bow making contest. Thank you Rosie and Connie...
