Feliz Navidad......

Last Friday Jeff and I went to his work Christmas party. Every year there is a hat contest this year was a Mexican food theme so we had to decorate Sombreros.....I had fun decorating them! Jeff was very happy that they had a Mariachi band.
Here we are in our hats with Patti........ We had yummy Mexican food. It was nice to get a night out away from the kiddos!

FHE Halloween

Every year we have a celebration with some of Jeff's family. This year we had the party here. It was so nice to not worry about the boys destroying everything. Although it did mean not as many pictures....like absolutely none I will have to steal some from others.
Here are there boys in there costumes.....Uncle Eric gave the boys some old costumes. A few are too big but Noah has had a blast having a different costume for all his adventures.
Sawyer.....the cowboy. I borrowed some boots from a friend and he has been obsessed. It is kind of a hodge podge costume but it was nice to use what we had and he loves it!!

Noah as Superman.....he put the costume on as soon as he got home from school......we will see what he comes up with for tonight.

Ryder's costume lasted five minutes. Long enough to get some candy at least.

Aunt Lisa is always so good to bring the kids stuff to play with......she found these super cute masks. The kids had fun coloring them.

We did our bubble gum blowing contest......Ali was the final winner although I didn't get a picture of it.

The boys favorite game is finding the toostie roll in the whip cream....a little messy but they love it.

We had a great night and the boys are ready for the rest of the weeks Halloween activities!

He WALKED!!!!

I am in crazy party mode.....did you know I LOVE parties! I do! They make me happy, if I wrote poems or songs I would write one. That is how happy they make me. Especially since tomorrow's festivities is a totally girly baby shower!!! Jeff is sure I have a disease. He is probably right I live for planning and throwing a party!!!


In other news......RYDER WALKED!!! He really walked. About fifty steps in total. But we are thrilled. Of course I took video! I will post tomorrow! I can't believe my "little" baby is getting so big!! It kills me!!

FHE Halloween Party

For the last few years Jeff's mom has invited us over for a little Halloween party the Monday before Halloween. It is so much fun to get dressed up, play games and eat yummy foods!


Jeff LOVES to dress up. He has had some pretty good costumes over the years. This is pretty hilarious, Patrice saw this costume at Target. He made me go out and find it ASAP! Here is our family......



Can you tell who he is???? Yep Michael Jackson is back from the dead....atleast for Halloween!

Our cute little monkey...I am so in love with his costume this year!


Some of the group....as you can Ryder loves his costume!!


Grandpa and Grandma with the boys!


Jeff and I!


Somehow it always ends in a little whip cream fight!


We of course played find the bubblegum in the whip cream. Noah wasn't sure about it but finally braved it.



It was so fun! I can't wait until Halloween. I just love this time of year!!

We had a BALL........

First I have to say beware LOTS of party pictures ahead!!!!

We had a great day today celebrating Ryder's Birthday! Noah and Sawyer's Birthday's both fell on Easter Sunday so they had good size parties. I wanted to have a fun theme and do Ryder's Birthday! I went with primary colors and balls....think ball pit. I had so much fun. Seriously I want to plan parties!!! Here are all the pictures. It was so fun! I love being with family. Thank you Mom and Jody for all your help and bringing food. It was such a great afternoon!!!!

You Don't Know Jeff......(and other happenings)

Most people who don't know Jeff all that well, think that he is super shy....and he is pretty quiet but we are bringing him out of his shell with rock band. We have played a few times now, and on Saturday we had a few of Jeff's cousins over after a family party...and he let loose.....I was crying this was sooo funny. He may kill me for this or get me back some how but seriously the pelvic thrusts was just to hilarious not to post. Hehe!






On Satruday we got together with Jeff's entire family to celebrate his Grandma's Birthday. We had a fun time and loved being together to honor her.

Work Party and Thanks

On Friday night Jeff's firm had their annual Christmas party. We were lucky to go and not have to bring any of our kids along. This was the first night in five months that we had time just the two of us. It was so night to know that boys were being so well taken care of. My friend Lisa took Ryder. They went to the Dana Point Boat Parade. She tells me he didn't cry once and just laughed and squeeled the whole time. He even took the bottle great, I worried all week because every time we tried at home he refused it. Noah and Sawyer went to Katie and Joey's house. They were so nice to take them especially when they have twin boys Sawyer's age and a little girl Noah's age. They even took them to our ward Christmas Party. And Katie took pictures! Seriously I am so lucky to have such great friends and be helpful. It was great especially since all of the Young Women in our ward were at the ward party so it worked perfectly. (Atleast I thought so and they are both still speaking to me so I guess my children weren't horrid.)

The firm party was fun they had great food, much better than last year....I was barely prego and only remember trying not to barf. But we had fun. Each group was in charge of entertaining....which was interesting considering how much alcohol was being passed around. Our group did a Christmas Movie trivia game. I think it was a success...but hey I wasn't going to get up and perform. One group had us dress up the bosses it was pretty funny, they are suppossed to look like a suit coat. All in all it was fun to be out with my hubby (which is rare) Thanks babe for all your hard work we are so proud of you and your continuing to excel and do well at work!!!
