Valentine's Day 2013

This is what Valentines looked liked this year. The I tolerate you Valentine was what Kyle gave to me lol. Gus and Oliver's girlfriends "The Funderburkes" came over the night before and they exchanged Valentines. We love those cute girls!! Kyle got me a gift card to Bohme and I gave him a sweet Chicken Coup book. Gus got a new wood knife that he thinks is pretty awesome. Oliver and Gus wore matching shirts that said little cupid on them, Walmart specials they looked adorable!

A Bunch Of Randoms

Kyle will play the piano at my sisters house almost every time we go. We both like to sit and fiddle with it to see if we remember anything. Kyle is lots better than me, as you can see he uses his left hand and I on the other hand strictly play only with my right. We have Rachelle's piano until she gets married...... so as soon as it is fixed we are going to take lessons!

Very random post. We bought Gus new church clothes at H&M and he looks so handsome and grown up in them. He loves building huts these days and insists on bringing all of his favorite babies, teddy, blankies, and movie into the tent. Sometimes Gus showers with me, and sometimes he stays in there for an hour so I can get things done. don't judge. The day before Thanksgiving I put up the Christmas tree, I just couldn't wait, mainly because I needed to vacuum and my flocked tree makes a mess so I decided to just hurry and put it up and vacuum after. The day after Thanksgiving I started putting up the Christmas lights while Kyle went Coyote hunting with Jed Lyon and his brother. When Kyle got home he wasn't too happy to see me fat and pregnant on a ladder, so he took over. He wasn't too happy to have to finish the job either he has a hate hate relationship with Christmas lights the scrooge. I could put up lights everyday and be happy. I find it relaxing and love the transformation the houses get at night.

Thanksgiving 2012

We had 3 separate Thanksgivings this year. My Mom had hers the Saturday before (pictured above), then on the actual Turkey day we went to my Fathers house in Circleville, then that evening we went to Kyle's parents house. Every house had equally delicious food, my favorite at my moms is her slush, my favorite at my fathers is his deep fried turkey, and my favorite and Linda's is her stuffing. It was great visiting with family and feeling the love and warmth every where we went this year. We stayed at Kyle's parents until 9 or so chatting with his parents and sisters and Aunt and Uncle it has been a long time since we have done that. Gus loves all of his cousins so he was happy to just have friends everywhere we turned.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Willy Wonka Family!

Gus was the cutest Oompa Loompa out there, and I learned I should have cut a little hole for my belly to pop through that tv box/chocolate bar. Gus was super ornery when he woke up from his nap, why is it that when we need him to be happy is the most unhappy. Well, we pumped him full of sugar the entire night and that cheered him right up! We watched Oompa Loompa videos on Youtube leading up to Halloween so Gus would know what he was, I think it worked. My mom made his cute pants, well I cut them out and she sewed. Made pom poms for his shoes, bought brown socks and a brown sweater, borrowed Amy's green hairspray and this little Oompa Loompa was set!

Witches Night Out 2012

I held my annual witches night out the night before All Hallows Eve this year. We made witch brooms for the craft and ate yummy broccoli and spicy corn chowder soup.

Pioneer Day

Pioneer Day... We woke up to thunder and rain, my two favorite things in the middle of July. The rain cleared just in time for the parade, just our luck! The parade is funny to me, all of the tiny tots are on the floats throwing candy to their parents on the side of the road. I watched most parents grudgingly pick up the candy, it was hilarious. The parade lasted all but 10 minutes then we were off to home. It poured on and off the whole day which was lovely. My mom got the annual water slide and we had a bbq. I made the homemade root beer for everyone, and Kyle taught Gus what to do with the fog from the root beer. All in all it was a lovely day celebrating our pioneers.

Independence Day

Our Independence Day went like this. Went to the parade 30 minutes late so we only saw the last 5 floats. Went swimming with WWF then  BBQ at my madres. Watched Back to the Future while Gus boy napped. We mowed the lawns, then went to STG to watch the fireworks. Everywhere else banned fireworks due to the dry conditions and fires. We watched the fireworks across from the temple, Gus loved them! Then we went home and snoozed.
