I have already posted these on Facebook but I am trying to do some journaling here, so here we go again. I was in charge of the float for our ward for the Lehi Round Up Parade. It was a ton of work but fun and it paid off when I won first place. I would like to note this was out of probably 40ish floats.I also had some amazing people to help me. 
As I mentioned before we went to the Denver Zoo while we were visiting Denver. Here are some pics of the adventure.
Andy Roddick.
Roddick serving. Its the most incredible thing you've ever seen.
Maria Sharapova, she is just practicing here and didn't play well this tourn.
Jelena Jankovic.
Rafa Nadal #1 in the world. He was very fun to watch play. I became a bigger fan.
Andy Murray. I'm not really a fan but we got to watch him practice and we were literally sitting on the side of the court watching. Its amazing how hard they hit the ball.
Tsonga another person I'm not really a fan of but he stood right next to me. cool anyway.
Yes I'm very far behind blah blah blah. But I will pick up from where I left off. Mackenzie turned 7 back in May. We had a fun friend party the day before and then on her birthday we drove to Denver for a friends wedding. My sister lives there so it was a good treat for my kids to visit. I drove with the kids all by myself and surprisingly they did very well all the way there. 
Opening presents
The cake. Kenz wanted a Star Wars cake. This isn't a very good showing from me in the cake department but she liked it anyway.(She told me I was an artist, yeah right but thanks kenz) If you can't tell its supposed to be a light saber. 
That night she got a scooter from mom and dad.
Most of you are probably sick of hearing about this but Jeremy and are starting a bowling league. We still need 1 or 2 teams. The league is only for the summer and about 12 weeks long on Thurs nights. The cost is 14$ per week per bowler. I know that sounds a little pricey but you will bowl 3 games that night and then you will get 6 free games to use during the week. We are trying to work it out with the bowling alley that you and your kids can use the free games. It doesn't matter if you have never bowled in a league almost everyone that is already in the league has never bowled before. There are lots of beginners. Plus everyone has a handicap so everyone starts out equal in score. It is going to be a blast and there is already some really fun people in the league. The teams are 4 person and mix teams, so you can bowl with a group of girlfriends or couples it doesn't matter. Kids are definitely welcome. Most of us will be bringing them along!
Yes its that time of year. For some reason I was asked to be in charge of the float this year for the Lehi Round up Parade. I don't feel like I am very creative so I am reaching out to my neighbors(or any friends) for some help. The theme for this year is "Guess What I Saw....." we have to add our own ending to that and make the float. So I would really appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks I appreciate it!!
My babys 2nd birthday. I can't believe shes already 2. She is such a little sweetheart. She entertained us all for her birthday. She just got up from her nap. She wanted everything out of the package as soon as she opened it.
Well I havent even picked up my camera since Christmas. So I decided to get all the pics off and realized we took video of most of our Christmas. So I don't have many pictures. It was a really busy couple of days. My sister came into town which is always fun to see her. I had to work Christmas Eve. (stupid kohl's) I didnt get so spend much of the evening with my kids which is really crappy on Christmas. I hope I am not still there next Christmas. Hopefully we wont lose our job this year. 3rd years a charm I hope. We went bowling with most of the family. That was fun too. We had a progressive dinner with my family on Christmas Day evening. Then the day after Christmas I had to go to work again. Yuck! Well all in all it was a good Christmas.
Mackenzie showing off her princess leia dress(she asked for this a week before Christmas. Its the only thing she asked for. So Santa was making a dress on Christmas Eve at 10pm. I had to work the whole week of Christmas a lot too.
Cole and his Transformer Car
Adelyn with Wow Wow Wubzzy. Its her favorite cartoon.
My house was the first house in the progressive dinner. This is an awful picture but I thought it was really funny. Its obvious my mom made us take the picture. Everyone looks less than thrilled.
I cleaned out my kids playroom and threw away lots of stuff but there were several things that were such good condition still that I thought I would put them out here for anyone. If you are interested in them let me know. I'm not looking for any money. Or if you know of anyone that is really struggling for Christmas this year and might want any of them let me know. If I can't find
Little princess castle. It has Belle, Cinderella, and Snow White. The tops turns and plays a song and if you push on the pictures of the princess' they say somthing. It did come with dolls but they are not in good shape but I know you can buy the little princess' in the store.
Tonka tractors need I say more.
What do staples and Thanksgiving have in common...well nothing, but while enjoing our thanksgiving dinner my mom comes running in the church gym with cole in her arms and gushing blood. We have been though stiches and a head wound before so he amount of blood wasn't as scary this time. Cole need to go to the bathroom, and on his way out he was tackled, tripped, or pushed by another little boy. We aren't really sure which cause no one saw and the details are coming from a 4 year old. So the details tend to get better or worse depending on how he wants to tell the story that day. Of course he was freaking out when it happened but we settled him down and cleaned him up. The wound was not looking to good and we were in Idaho. My dad and Jeremy decided to try to find an urgent care. With no luck of finding one open, they took him to the hospital and luckily they did it rather quickly. They gave them the choice of numbing it or just doing it fast. Cole said just do it. So in about 3 seconds and no tears Cole had 5 new shiny staples in his head. He tells everyone"I was sooo tuff" and he was. He hasn't complained about it since. Now I am just scared for the bill!!
Better late than never RIGHT?? I hope most of you got to enjoy our tunnel this year. I had good intentions to take picture this year but Kenz was sick a couple days before Halloween and then ended up throwing up Halloween night too. We usually have a party and some great pics to show for it. I only got these pics at Grandma and Grandpa Telfords. They loved trick or treating, even Adelyn walked around our circle and loved putting the candy in her bag.
I have to be honest I kind of forgot about my blog. I can't apologize everytime I don't post for awhile cause lets be honest I would just have a blog full of apologies. Lets see what have we been up to??? Hmmmmm.... Well I am working at Kohl's a couple nights a week. I work from like 8:30pm till whenever we get done which is usually 1:30 or 2ish. My kids are asleep they have no idea I'm even gone. I thought I might hate it but it hasn't been bad as I thought, until I started to realize we have some holidays coming up. I am not sure about working over the holidays but whatever.
I went through all the blogs on my list and I can't believe how many of you are expecting. Sorry no announcement here(don't hold your breath for one either). You are all more patient than me!!
I am in the process of potty training Adelyn. Well I have been in that process for several months but she is actually in underwear now. I like to start when they are around 18 months so I can just put her on everyonce in awhile so she is comfortable with it and learns what she is supposed to do.I know some of you think I'm crazy she isnt even 2 but I don't like changing diapers or the pile of diapers by the door(or buying them for that matter). I trained all my kids this young and it has seemed to work for me. She's doing pretty good. I am hoping by the end of this week or before Thanksgiving was my goal.
Now you see why blogging has been so slow. The Telford home isn't very exciting. But I do enjoy looking at your blogs and keeping in touch with all the great people in my life!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I love taking family pictures in the Fall it's just the prettiest time of the year. Here's a slide show of our newest pictures.
The kids playing with cousins
And last but certainly not least. Jeremy taught Cole to pee in the the bushes.(which is important when your using a trailor and the tank isnt neverending) Obviously he didn't teach him to find a more private area or maybe not pull his pants down so low. It was funny anyway
