Mrs Claus

This is Mrs. Claus and her reigndeer. They don't look like much but I'd put them up against Santa any day.

one bad apple

How do you survive a miniature Shane? This baby is the cutest, sweetest little bit every and it's a good thing. He is a tornado. He can destroy a room in under 10 seconds. Today, the fireplace. We found 4 shoes, the newspaper, a basketball, a stuffed animal and 2 gloves in the fireplace. He also took the end cap off the stove pipe. This is with 3 adults and 3 tattletales in the next room. He is going to be a wild ride.

Fishing is fun

You never know what you will find at the top of my stairs. The top stair has been "the" place to play for all the boys, and still is. This is the covenanted spot for some reason. I think it's because it is the most dangerous place in the house to be playing. So, you never know what you will find on the top step. Today, two fishermen. One little more au natural than the other, but both pretty close to nature. I can not keep clothes on my baby. He has even learned how to magically pull his diaper out of his onesies. I wonder if anyone has ever put suspenders on a diaper?

Basketball

My little boys are starting little league basketball. Shane and I are coaching. Well, I'm letting him sit next to me. He keeps telling me our players aren't getting paid for this and I get a little to excited, awe, what does he know. It is fun watching the boys play. We get excited when someone catches a pass or remembers to run to the other end of the court with everyone else. It's hard to believe that these little guys will be playing in high school in only a few short years. They have already improved alot. Some of them can even dribble. I still have to keep telling them their is no skipping in basketball. My boys are a little different. They have mainly been playing football until now. Ridge has tackled a few kids and pushes them out of the way to catch a pass. He's a little rough like his dad. Brock isn't quite as rough but is still pretty aggressive. It is going to be a fun season. I hope to get some video and post it.

I blinked.

Wow,

I blinked and now it's almost Feb. I hope Christmas was great for everyone. Christmas here was a blast. The boys are at a perfect age. They still don't care what they get, they are just excited to rip through paper.

We had alot of drama over the holidays though. My mom blew her knee out while she was visiting. That was so sad. We had to convince Ridge that it wasn't his fault. Grandma came to see his Christmas program, and after leaving the performance, Grandma got sucked in by a huge Soda Springs pothole in the parking lot. She tried to be brave but it was painful. Everyone felt better after we got her home. At least now she if forced to get a new knee. She would have kept putting off until she died.

After that weekend, Shane was in my van showing off. A little background info I told him two weeks earlier my oil light had been going off. He checked it, said it looked ok. Next thing you know we are spending the night in Blackfoot because he blew up the motor. One of my favorite things to get for Christmas is a new engine. Luckily the first motor they put in was no good. The only thing better than one motor is two. Just a little advice, when oil light goes off let someone other than your husband look at it.
