Santa on Christmas Eve

Santa makes a stop at Grandma and Grandpa Telfords house on Christmas Eve. Kenz was very scared at first but finally got the nerve to sit on his lap. Cole was very excited to talk to Santa.

Christmas

There is so much going on for Christmas I just thought I would make a slide show of all the pictures. There were just too many to pick from. We had a Christmas. Jeremy and I have been finishing a room in our basement for the kids to have a playroom. Ok maybe the present was a little more for us. We have been telling the kids we have been "cleaning" it. Cole was fine with that answer. Kenz didn't quite believe us. She asked many times why she could hear tools then. We told her it was really dirty. As you can imagine there were many late nights in the last week trying to get it done. We were pretty much done we were just going to do the finishing touches Christmas Eve after we got home from the Telfords. Well..... things don't always go as planned. The stomach flu hit me at the family party. Yeah that was fun, but I didn't want to the kids to miss out I knew Santa would be visiting. So I concentrated on not losing it. Well we finally left their house and I wasn't too bad. Well the car must have done me in cause Jeremy had to pull over so I could well you know on the side of the freeway on ramp. A wonderful experience as I can see all the cars passing me as a I puke my guts out. So my poor husband was stuck putting it all together. We had so much to do still. But he wasn't going to let it go undone ! He was up until 2 am finishing. The kids were so excited. Santa left a note on the tree that he had left the presents in a new spot and they would have to find them. Kenz noticed the basment door open and that it had flooring. Jeremy had set up another tree and lights and the presents downstairs. Luckily I was feeling much better by this time! You know you have gotten your child the right presents when he yells "I'm so happy!" It was a great morning and I hope all you of out there enjoyed yours too! Its now 4 days after Christmas and as I write my kids are in the new playroom singing carols still. Its still cute but on the verge of annoying!Enjoy the slideshow....

I love Snow

Yea ! Winter is here. I am glad I live somewhere that the seasons change. My kids have been so excited to play in the snow. I would have to admitt I've been a little excited too. It hasn't felt like Christmas is near and now woo hoo!! They had so much fun playing


For some reason they wanted to take a picture by the wire deer
Snow Angels

Just being cute

Mmmm Bubble Gum

Maybe others won't think this is so funny. But it makes me giggle everytime.It wouldn't let me download the whole video I guess it was too big. It is still really cute!

Married to my bestfriend for 7 years

Jeremy and I celebrated our anniversary of 7 years this weekend. He took me to Ruth's Chris for dinner. Then we stayed in Salt Lake for the night. Although we had to bring the baby it was nice to get away for a night. I am so lucky to have Jeremy in my life. We met when I was 15 he was 16. I had been on vacation when his family moved to Colorado. When I returned home my next door neighbor told me a new boy had moved into our ward and he was perfect for me, and that I should marry him. I met him at early morning seminary where another girl was already scratching his back. Lucky for me I caught his eye. I wasn't old enough to date but we "went out" for like 3 weeks and I hated him. I dumped him. He was way to into me I had never had someone like me so much. He always held my hand and he kissed me in the school hallways. It was really weird to me! Anyway 6 months later my family moved to Utah. The next summer Jeremy came to BYU for a golf camp with one of my best friends. We ended up hanging out and I realized maybe he wasn't that bad. We emailed back and forth our junior year and we even got to visit eachother once or twice. He came and took me to prom with his old friends and then decided that summer he was going to come live with his sister in Utah and finish his senior year here. Although we went to different schools and my mom had very strict rules about how much we could see eachother we dated all senior year.(And we were a little sneeky) Jeremy went on a mission to Kentucky and had to come home 6 months later for foot surgery and wasn't able to return. I waited for him!!! A whole 6 months. It was worth it :) We were married less than a year later and now we have 3 beautiful kids. Jeremy and I literally grew up together and he truly is my bestfriend. He works his cute little butt off for our family and I couldn't ask for anything more. I love him tons!!! Here are some pics of how we got to today.

Our first real date

Junior Prom

Another dance senior year, there were a lot I don't know which one this is.

Engagement Picture

Lots of wedding pictures!

Baby #1 Mackenzie

Baby #2 Cole

Baby # 3 Adelyn

Our Family Today!

Baby First Steps

Adelyn has decided she wants to see what walking is like. So this week she has been taking a few steps. Its a little scary considering she is not quite 9 1/2 months. She is learning so much right now its so fun! Sorry its sideways!

Facebook

So I discovered Facebook several months ago. Some friends had invited me and i just ignored it cause I thought it was just another dumb MySpace thing. So one day I signed up and much to my surprise I am so addicted to it. I didn't grow up in Utah so had lost contact with most of my friends cause I moved several times growing up. I have found so many people on there and reconnected with so many old friends. It has been so nice. The best part of Facebook is that it is totally private. No one can see anything about you unless you accept them as a friend. There is a small picture of the person but most of the time its hard to see if it is them. I know some of you are already my friends on facebook, but if your on it and your not let me know so I can add you. If your not on facebook and interested in finding old friends I totally suggest it. Most of us know how hard it is to make VT appts, but one of my girls is on there and it is so easy to get a hold of her. Anyway I just thought I would share how much fun I think Facebook is :)!

HALLOWEEN

Halloween is such a fun holiday. You can dress up and be a dorky as you want. I hope most of you in the neighborhood got to enjoy our spooky tunnel! We are dumb though I forgot to take a picture of it. Once it got late we started to get the young teenagers, Jeremy scared a few of them pretty good. One group of girls took off running and decided to return 10 mins. later. We had such a good time it was so fun to have trick or treaters this year and we had tons. I took the kids out for awhile and it was fun to see all the neighbors enjoying it too. I think the warm Friday night really helped. We had like 5 parties this year so the kids really got use out of their costumes! Here are some pictures of our Halloween!

Fall Pictures

Jeremy was out of town for a few days and I thought I will probably go crazy in my house with these kids if I don't do something. So I decided to catch a little of the last of the Autumn color and take some cute pictures of the kids. Of course it didn't go perfectly. Kenz loved posing, Adelyn and the Kenz had fun, but heres the bad part Cole had fallen asleep on the way up. Oops. So he didn't want to cooperate for the group picture and then the baby wanted to eat the dirt so then she got mud on her sweater. Cole is shivering but I'm threatening him if he doesn't smile just once he won't get ice cream when we get home. They turned out great anyway!

Canning Frenzy

Well life has been a little on the boring side of things, I'm sorry there hasn't been much to post. Since summer is over we aren't doing much but getting ready for school everyday. But when canning consumed my life for 3 weeks I thought I better take a picture and post that. Its something right. I bottled Pears, Chicken and salsa. Everyone says Chicken ? Its no different than canned chicken. I also got to teach a little class on how to bottle peaches I hope anyone that came found it a little useful. Anyway here are my exciting canning pictures. Sorry no action

Friends and Family at Kohls

Kohls is having a friends and family sale we has some coupons if anyone is an avid Kohls shopper. It is on September 26 & 27th. Let me know if you are interested!

Blast from The Past

Jeremy and I and were able to go to the Boyz II Men concert last night. They were probably one of my favs when I was younger. My parents buy season tickets to the Scera Shell every year to go to all the shows. So they gave us the tickets and babysitting. Even though Jeremy loved them growing up he wasn't that excited to go but I convinced him it was worth it just for the night out alone. Once we got there and listened though it was so good. They sounded awesome!!!! We had tons of fun except for the annoying drunks kids in front of us that didn't really seem that interested in the concert but more into dancing to some other music that must have been in there heads. Here are some not great pics. I didn't bring my camera dummy me. But these are camera phone pics! For a little taste of what we got to hear last night! http://www.boyziimen.com/
