Thank you Mommy

My mom and a couple of bros came up and visited at the beginning of the month and I forgot to post a couple of pics from when they were here. Honestly, not many pics were taken because I was so sick that weekend! We were probably really fun to hang out with...with the poopy driveway and a sickly lady and all. . .but it was still really great to have them here. :) We hung out, watched movies, ate good food and played the wii. Good stuff. Oh, and we got to shout "Happy New Year!" together and clink our sparkling cider drinks. It was the baste!(say it like Nacho Libre) And I have to publicly thank my mom for helping and taking good care of me when she was here. It was the first time in a long time that I had my mommy taking care of me when I was sick and it was nice. Its great to be a mom but its also nice to be mommed again:) I love you Mom. Thanks again for coming up to be with us so we could have our own little Christmas together.

Grandma and her grandkiddos

Grandma and happy little Ammon

She also came bearing Christmas gifts for everyone. The girls were very surprised and excited to get Lalaloopsy dolls and lots of squinkies and goodies.

My sister also came up for a little bit and got the kids pillows with their initials(a BIG hit) and some other cool stuff from Justice-the "cool" store for little girls:)

I also have to thank my inlaws for the TON of stuff they sent us for Christmas. The shipping alone must've cost a fortune. Boxes and boxes and boxes were coming in the mail(it was so exciting-I love to get mail!) Toys, games, crafts, giftcards-we were very very spoiled by everyone.

Thanks all yall:)

Wish mine had been more well so that she could have lived long enough to enjoy her grandkids and great grand I secretly think she may have given them angel kisses as they left to come here..........thanks Patti for taking care of the kiddos.

She is also very creative and can be found crafting at the table on many afternoons. She is in the 7th grade and is a very hard worker.

Cali is our 9 year old silly girl who keeps us laughing. And also keeps us on our toes:) She is a feisty little second grader with a mind and will of her own. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
