Sleeding.

Thanks to Crystal i got these. Sleeding. The kids loved it Cade didnt' want anyone to go with him. McKenzie was the same way.

No Camera

My camera does not work. How does that happen? Well needless to say i have not gotten a good Christmas pitcure. I am really sad about it. We had alot of fun for Christmas. Boyd had all his brothers and sisters here. Well all but one Brett but he is on his mission. WE miss you Brett. We played games, went sleeding and had the flu, well everyone but us.. lets pray we don't get it..... The kids had a tons of fun. McKenzie i think had the funnest time. She doesn't get to play with girls her age that offten. Our ward is full of boys and my sister only has boys so she had a blast playing dolls, doing hair and cleaning. It was fun to see her get to be a girl and not so much a tom boy but i will take her no matter what.
As for me the day before everyone left i decided to have them come over and help me clean my one bedroom that i use as a store everything room. Well we ended up moving the kids room into the big room and then the baby will get the small room with any visitors that come. Thanks to Liz and Alicia for helping ALL day. It looks great. Cade is not sure of his new room he still has not slept in it. He sleeps in his old room in the bed that he calls grandma and grampa Wallevands bed. I guess as long as he is sleeping.
I hope you all have a wonderful NEW YEARS..

Cousins!

The kids had such a fun time playing with each other. I think that has been the best my kids have been when on a vacation. The kids are ready to back. They ask everyday are we going back to Grandma Wallevands. It was fun alot of shopping and movies and spending time with family what more can you ask for?!!!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was fun this year. We went to my grandmas. She just turned 89 this year. It was good to see her. We had around 40 or so people. It was so good to see family that i have not seen in a long time. I love getting together with family. I am so thankful for my family.

Horse riding

Since we brought home the beef cows they have done alot of riding horses. McKenzie loves it. Cade he likes it as long as someone is right by him and he has something to hold on too. he got thrown from a horse this summer and he hasn't wanted to ride since so we are making baby steps to get him back on. As for McKenzie she goes whenever she can. she loves it

MTC

Thanks to my sister in law i stole these from her blog. We had to say our goodbyes to him on Monday. The hardest was him with the kids. We all had a hard time. i am so proud of him. He chose to serve the lord for 2 years and never questioned it. He has done so much for my kids but what he is doing is better then anything he could ever do for us. Yes i was sad and will be. I never had a brother so i didn't know what all went into this. It takes some faith for someone to chose to go and he did. We will miss him a lot but we will see him again. WE LOVE YOU BRETT....

Its a ......

So after waiting for 23 weeks and 1 day i finally know what i am having. The baby didn't want to let us know at first what he/she was. We got to spend an hour at the doctor because we were the last ones there. The last 5 minutes they could tell 99% that it was a boy. Boyd's face told it all. He was so happy. We took the kids and McKenzie still thinks she is having a sister. Cade wants to know what kind of shoes the baby is wearing. It is so funny what kids come up with... We are happy to say its a baby boy due on March 10..

Boy or girl!!

I have wanted to wait to see what i was going to have with all my kids. Well i thought since i had a boy and a girl i would wait for this one. BUT when they ask you if you want to know, I will so easily say yes. SO next week we will find out if its a boy or a girl.. and the most important thing is that the baby is healthy.

Halloween party and Halloween!

This was party that we had at the church. The kids loved it. After it we didn't need to go trick or treating but of course we did. We had a trunk decorating contest and believe it or not we got first place on our trunk. Thanks to Glenda. The picture is not as good as it looked. we had a skeleton head in the back lite up and spiders all over. It was fun. The kids came home with a ton of candy. Until next year.....

Day before Halloween!

Today the kids woke up and thought it was time to go trick or treating. I decided that since we only put the costumes on once a year for about two hours that i would let them play in them. I got all excited and got them all dressed up and put the make up on and hair done. who would now that age 27 you would still love dressing up and enjoying such a silly holiday.. Happy Halloween

Love this time of year.. Hate the leaves..

Its that time of year when i mow my lawn for the last time, put down fertilizer and the funnest part rake the leaves.. Well i guess i would say i love the leaves the color they change and how nice they look until they hit the ground. We have so many leave that i hate the fall and spring. I think i spend at least 3 days cleaning up the yard. I love the first day oh how fun then by the third i just get the mower out and i run over anything that is in the way. The kids sure love it run as fast as they can jump in them. I loved doing that as a kid also but now i know why my parents only let me do it a few times. After you rake them up a hundred times you are tired. Anyways it is all done and put away for the winter..

Working OUT!

OK, so i went to the gym today. It is the first time in a long time not to mention that i am prego. Who wants to workout when you are already fat and getting fatter. Well i decided today was the day i would do as much as i could with a baby in me.. I did pretty good. I am going to try to go to the gym at least 3 times a week and then the treadmill at home the other days. I know i am not going to lose weight but can stop other places from growing. Wish me luck.

SuMmeEr!

Okay these are from this summer but i decided to put them up.One because Aunt Debbie is a total seahawks fan and so we got a pitcure for her and because Uncle Brett is leavign on

his mission SOON. I never had any brothers so i never new what it was like to send someone on there mission. Well i do now. WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU. I thought these pictures of him and the kids were so cute, after all the football games the kids wanted to give him a hug as long as he wouldn't put his sweaty body on them.. We love you Brett.

Carving Pumpkins

We had family home evening last night and it turned out so fun. If any of you have not gotton the nursery primary manual it is a MUST! It is good for any age and has tons of fun ideas. The church web site sells it for 5.50 i think. I just love it. Both of my kids are in nursery but i still give them the same lesson and they just eat it right up. After that we carved pumpkins. I am not sure that is a good activity with little ones. The knife thing is not a good idea. The night was going so good no tears until then. Cade thinks he about 6 and Mckenzie knows she is only 2 but doesn't care if i say no she is going to do it any way. We ended the night with 2 pumpkins carved and 1 knife broken. Then of to grandmas to show her. I just love my family. After its all over with and you lay them down to sleep its when you realize that life would not be the same without them. Love you Boyd, Cade and Mckenzie.

Painting Pumpkins

Cade loves to paint pumpkins. Once we got them home he was ready to paint.

Mckenzie loves her pumpkins and it didn't sit up right but she t0ld me mom its ok.

Cade isn't done but he got sick of painting his big pumpkin. he is going to wait for his dad to get home to do it.

I am not sure what is going on with Mckenzie but i think it is a little heavy for her. She had to use every color.

Pumpkin Patch and Grandparents!

Grandma and Grandpa Wallevand!

Boyd and I

We had a fun few days. My parents came to visit and it has been fun. We did house cleaning, my dad did my yard and cut some branches and sprayed our house. I love when they come. I get some stuff done. My mom has been cooking. It is nice to have a break. I will be sad when they leave tomorrow. I love them so much and am so thankful they are my parents.

Grandma Wallevand this is for you!

This is for my mom. The last time she was here she had some of in her hair and McKezie wanted them in hers. I went and bought some because i thought they would work good in her hair, well i left them in for about an hour and nothing. Anyways they love to put them in my hair now so i guess it was a good toy purchase.

Boyd and Kids!

NOt sure what cade was doing but at least one was good,

I think that cade got this way to pose from wathcing the football players. When i was taking the pitcures he wanted it taken this way.

My wonderful husband. He was out playing football with the kids. I don't have many pitcures of him so i made him take one. I can't say he was a good sport about it but he did it.

Saturday family time!!

This kids loves to play football.

My Cheerleader. Do i want her to be no but i was getting ready to come outside and here sits our little girl on her blanket cheering.

Way to much money .... for the ride.

They had a blast. I can only wait until we go to lagoon as a family i don't know how my parents did it with us. They only had three rides they could go on and they were in heaven. The only bad thing is Mckenzie is still to short and so she had to ride with her brother. She didn't care but cade did just a little. I love my little onew.

Connell days

Cade didn't want to touch this but we got him too. One fingure was all i could get him to do.

The kids got the wave down. I think it was fun at first for them but they got so much candy they got sick of picking it up. It was also so hot that all we wanted was shade. Cade got a backpack full of candy and Mckenzie had her own bag. It was alot of candy. It all starts this time of your first this then Halloween the Christmas, birthday, Easter...... i think we have old candy from all of them from last year.
