Saturday Madness!

Alli

Zach, Kobey, and Jordan



Saturday Josh, Ashley, and Alli came to town and we had so much fun hanging out. We went to Costa Vida for lunch and then Ashley came over for a little while to see my tree and visit. Then we headed over to Grandma Joannes house and played the Wii while the babies took naps. I LOVE the Wii its so much fun I seriously want one so bad. Anyway then we had pumpkin pie and watched some t.v. and then everyone else showed up to play and hang out. It was Madness, all the babies were running around and Parker and Peyton were chasing each other. We all had so much fun though, we cooked sloppy joes for dinner with chips and ice cream for desert and then took turns playing the Wii. Then we got all the babies except Alli in the tub for a bath and they loved to splash and play together. Jordan of course always had to be standing up and being rowdy he is such a BOY! He was obsessed with the faucet and Kobey's soapy hair.

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is always a BIG day for us girls! We wake up at 3:30 get ready head to Wal-Mart load up on Christmas presents and then hop in the car and go to St. George for the rest of the day. I love to shop and I seriously saved up and waited until Black Friday to do all of my Christmas shopping. I was kinda bummed because I just realized that from now on I'm going to have to load up my kids and take them EVERY year unless someone offer to tend because Nate HAS to work every Black Friday. This year was my first year to take a baby because I was pregnant last year and it wasn't as much fun but we made the best of it. Wal-Mart was madness like always and I didn't get everything I wanted but I spent enough trust me. We then headed to St. George and I found seriously everything at Khols and then I was done. I got Jordan the cutest toys I am really excited about it. Jordan was the best little boy I was so proud of him. He did take some naps but short ones and when we got home he went straight to bed and then didn't wake up until 10:15 the next morning. Poor Kid

Thanksgiving!

Wow I've got a lot to post ha ha. Thankgiving was delicious as usual and this year Nate and I were the only kids there so we kinda had a small thanksgiving but it was still really fun. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Nates Grandma Sutherlands house and the guest list included me, Nate and Jordan, Joanne and Laine, Grandma and Grandpa Sutherland, James, Jodi, Daqari, and Kyzer, AND... Bryce and Cheryl (they actually didn't eat with us but they came after dinner). I took a few pictures and then I was going to film the rest and I accidently tripped over the cord and broke our video camcorder so that night Nate and I went to wal-mart and bought a new one:0 oops! Jordan loved the stuffing and the cranberry sauce I think those two were his favorite 2 things. When it was time for desert Jason, Lindsay, Peyton and Kobey came and Jordan and Kobey gave eachother some hugs they love eachother.

Going Private!

I think we too are going to go private. I just worry about all the creeps out there so if you want to see our blog please leave your e-mail. We aren't going to do it for like a week so it gives people a little more time.

Hanging Christmas lights!

Yesterday Nate hung our chirstmas lights on our house and they look good except for a few minor details. I was really scared for him but he really is a lot braver than me for getting up there. On our house we have three big peaks and since we have a basement our house is up so high off the ground. The problem that we did with the lights is first off we need one more package we ran out before we were completely done and second when he put them up where they connect there is a gap before the lights start again. I know he was frusterated but I've got to give him credit since it was his first time putting them up. Since the storm is moving in we will probably just leave them this way and do it better next year so if you happen to stop by don't look to closely at our lights ha ha.

Cute little busy body

We've created a MONSTER ahh!

Jordan crawling around the halls finding his next place of destruction He crawls with one hand in a fist for some reason it reminds me of a gorilla. Jordan in his football stance ha ha he is so cute. Getting into mommy's cupboard Naughty little kid! Getting everything out of the cupboard. After he realizes I caught him. He thinks its funny! The broken plate and other things he pulled out of the dishwasher. Sitting patiently in his highchair while I clean up the mess Again just chilling in his highchair, no big deal. Starting to get upset and wanting out. Lately I have been super busy trying to keep up with Jordan. He literally goes around my house and destroys everything in his path. We have an ongoing battle with each other regarding my decorations. I just won't take them down and he won't stop destroying them ha ha. Nate is so frustrated with it but he's such a sweetheart that he lets me keep them around. Today I was loading the dishwasher and he took our plates out and just chucked them across our floor like a Frisbee and one shattered I seriously don't know how the other one survived. Well what can I say he makes life interesting. I just love that little boy!

Christmas is Coming!!

I decided to put up my Christmas stuff early this year just because I love it so much. I usually wait until after Thanksgiving but I'm glad I'm done its a lot of work and every year I forget how much work it is until I get it all out. This year will be extra fun because we have our own house and I am going to make Nate put up our Christmas lights up outside. I'm so excited to drive by my house and check them out. Last year the day after Thanksgiving I bought a new tree and it is so beautiful and LARGE!! It is really too big for our front room but when we get our basement finished it will fit perfect down there which is where we will spend most of our time anyway. Well here are some pictures of our new tree:)

So Much FUN!!

What do you think about my little new baby Riley?
MakeMeBabies.com - What will your baby look like?


Me and Nates Little Girl haha!
WOW thats scary I hope our little girl doesn't look like this one! I think I would cry:)

Toilet Paper Anyone??

Jordan is such a crazy little kid! He has loads of personality and loves to get into things he isn't suppose to. I catch him destroying things every minute of everyday and believe me its a full time job to keep up. He drives me crazy but he makes me laugh sometimes thats all I can do is laugh.I guess I just need to get used to the messes and let go a little. Here are some cute crazy pictures of Jordan getting into his favorite thing in the house Toilet Paper!!

Book Worm

I have been reading books to Jordan every night before he goes to bed and I really didn't notice any difference in him until today. He has been getting out his books and looking through them and tonight I caught him intensively looking through this small book seriously for 20 min. He was so quiet and would just flip through the pages and once in a while babble. I thought it was adorable and shot some video of it but I was afraid of getting to where he would see me due to him loosing interest in the book. Once I shot the video of him far away I ventured up close so you could see better but he did eventually loose interest. I love that he is showing signs of a book worm I think its great for his mind and a good way for an outlet when things in his life aren't going well. I will keep reading to him until he can read to me:)

MY little NINJA:)

Tonight was our Young Women's Night of Excellence and they all did such a wonderful job. I am amazed at what awesome young women we have, they truly inspire me. Your probably wondering what this has to do with the title. ha ha I know I would be but for our Night of Excellence the Young Women were given a value along with its color and a special Women in history to tie into that value. Well my group had Individual Worth and Joan of Arc. They decided to dress up and since she was a war hero she had a sword. Well guess who ended up with the sword my little Jordan. He absolutely loves it and he really acts like a Ninja its hilarious. Just in case you didn't believe me here are some pictures of MY little NINJA Enjoy!

Some FUN Pictures!

Here are some fun pictures of Jordan. He is growing so fast I just can't believe it. I know I always say that but seriously its just crazy. Just for an update he is starting to walk now and stands by himself all the time. He has such a zest for life and is now fully sleeping through the night. I even have gotten him to take naps now and he is off of nursing and on to the bottle. I had to give him milk at first but he is now drinking formula. I also got a part time job 2 hours a day so he gets time away from me and gets to see Grandma Joanne and spend one on one time with his Dad. It's a great break for both of us. Anyway these pictures are of him in his new church clothes, in the bath (he now loves his baths), and of him with his hairbrush after he ate breakfast. Please excuse the no shirt thing he gets so dirty after eating.

What Character are YOU?

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.
