I just wanted to wish you all a merry christmas! A little late, sorry! I've been wanting to put picture's on but i got a new camera and we don't quit no how to do it! I'll learn more and post them later!
But, we had an excellent christmas, got alot of things and Santa spoiled my kids! Will have to show all that was given later!
Love you all!
So I really don't have anything exciting to say but that I can't wait for Christmas! I just love this time of year espessially giving presents to others and seeing the expression on their face when you give it to them! Danika will be so much fun this year. We had a christmas party on Saturday, well two actually but Santa came to the 1st one and she was so cute she walked right up sat on his lap and told him she wanted gloves and a movie for christmas. So lets recap-
1st santa visit this year- she asked for a puppy
2nd she wrote a letter to santa and asked for a house puppy.
3rd she asked santa for a house.
4th time she said gloves and a movie.
Wow! She just keeps going! I hope she gets everything that she wants, will have to wait and see! Merry Christmas everyone!
Our poor boy with his nightgown on! Lyle wasn't not excited about that, he said quote" this will be the only time you'll see our son in a dress." I thought is was kind of funny! Everything went great though!
sad when they took him away! It was very hard but then he was back so quickly and everything was fine! His ears had a lot of fluid which should drain in the next couple of days! I'm so glad that their done and over with thought! Alot of bad sleep dreaming about them putting them in, so all ends well! 
That's right! Yesterday was both Linkins birthday and Thanksgiving we had a lot of fun! Linkin got some very cute clothes and lots of fun toys! We just can't believe he's one!
Update on the tubes: it's official that he'll be getting them in on the 10th of December!
Also..........
DANIKA FINALLY GOES POTTY ON THE TOILET!!! YEAH!!!
It's been a long time waiting but she's finally done it! I'm so excited! No more diapers, well for her atleast!
There back! Well only for a visit but we've had so much fun with them! They have came over to play a couple of times and we just love them! Kolten is danika's age and Hadley is Linkins age!
We recently got the piano moved from my mom's house to ours we were so excited! I love playing and learning espessially playing christmas songs! I'm so excited for christmas! 
Today was an exciting day, Linkin had his monthly weight check and he now weighs 16 lbs. 15 oz. Yep, i'm so excited he gained 2 lbs. and 4 oz.! YEAH! The only bad news is his ears are still infected so they gave in a stronger antibiotic shot and he gets to go see the Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist towards the end of this month. So tubs might be on their way will just have to see!
We had a Halloween party at grandma charla's house and of course danika wanted a black cup cake! YIKES!
This was before Halloween danika thought she need to wear her hat around the house!
Danika was the cutest witch i had ever seen and i loved how her costume had so many cute fall colors in it!
Silly Danika! She got a dress up princess outfit for a birthday gift! She just loves it! The crown is probably he favorite but she really likes dressing up as well!
What a lucky day? I got to go and see my grandma J! She is the best! We were discussing how i haven't gotten on and posted anything lately to my blog! So i thought i would write this one to you grandma and tell you how much i love you! Your such an amazing women and i love you so much! Thanks for being the best grandma ever!
As most of you know Linkin is very tiny for his age! He only weighed 15 lbs. 1 ounce at his 9 month check up so they tested his blood last month and everything looked normal. She just wanted monthly weight checks and to start him on whole milk at 10 months. So i started him on whole milk about 2 weeks ago and we went in for him monthly weight check on monday, he now weighs 14 lbs. 10 oz. yes that's right he lost 7 ounces! BUMMER! So we had to do stool samples now, nothing has came back yet so we don't know the results but were a little nervous about the weight lose it was a shocker! So hopefully next month he'll gain some. I'm pushing for him to get back to 15 lbs. by the time he's a year!
Danika turned 3 on last saturday, oct. 4th! We got to take her to the doctor for a check up, she is 29 lbs. She is 36 inches tall! And she had to get a flu shot up her noes! She hated it but i thought it was a lot easier than a shot.
Then, on wednesday night she had a fever and looked awful, so i told lyle she looked like a truck had hit her! It's just an expression that i use when she looks really bad, you know watery eyes and snotty noes, things like that! So yes, we got that all taken care of but thursday morning i asked her how she was feeling and she goes " umm, i look like a truck ran me over." It was so funny, i couldn't believe that she had picked it up that quickly i only said it twice! But i laughed and laughed and laughed!
Isn't she so big!
Danika and her best friend Meadow sporting it on the Jaguars!
Isn't that sweet!
She was really, really thirsty!
Linkin really looks like he having fun!
Look at this cute baby monkey! We just thought she was the cutest thing ever!
Lyle and his buddy John Cox decided to go caving last saturday! They had a really good time but had to come back early because of the General Relief Society Conference!
This is John and his daughter Shay!
Me and Linkin were their for the 1st little while but then we had to leave to go get ready!
A couple of sundays back i got the flu and was feeling terrible on saturday, but sunday i was feeling a little better so we went for a drive to make the day a go by a little faster! We went up to porcipine dam up past avon, it was so pretty! We had such a fun time throwing rock in the dam!
Three weekends ago we went up to High Creek camping with our friends it was so pretty up their the leaves were changina and we had so much fun!
My friend Jen made the cute camo hat that he is wearing! We just love it!
Danika loved to ride her bike all over the place! 
Sorry, I haven't posted in awhile, i got family pictures taken last sunday. My friend did an excellent job so hopefully she will get me a cd soon, then i will post them. Life just seems to fly by, this has been an awful week but i did have some excitement and i'm thankful for somethings too:
1. Bunco started back up this thursday, every women needs a bunco group to run away to some times.
2. I sucked at bunco and got low score which was good because i got one of the new Scentsy plug in burners. So that was exciting.
3. Me and Lyle have gotten to talk alot and we have had our relation grow so much this week. I'm just so thankful for him in my life. He is the best husband and father ever.
4. I have found the most amazing babysitter for my kids, she's really good and my kids love her, and no it's not grandma. Can you believe that I dare leave my kids with a Young Women girl? Scary but, no really she is the best.
5. I'm so excited for the General Relief Society conference tomorrow night! I just love what they have to tell us and I always come home wanting to be a better mom and wife.
6. I went to the dentist and got a temporary crown put on my tooth and I didn't faint this time which was really good. Man, the dentist is so scary!
7. My family is so amazing I grow from them each and every week! Love you guys tons!!!
So, maybe next week I'll get some pictures and i'll have a great week!
Quinn and Monica had their baby today at around 7 oclock this morning! I'm so excited to see the little guy~ well not so little he weighed 8 lbs and 11 oz. Go monica! I never want to have a baby that big, that has got to hurt! he's 20 inches long and has a little bit of red hair! I'm going in about an hour to see him. I'll try to post pictures if i can!
Me and Lyle finally got new cell phones! It was so exciting to have a plan again and not just use the dumb pay as you go phone! Plus, I was using it way to much and it was costing us way to much so this is so much cheaper! So yes, don't try calling me on my old number! The new one is 770-1972! and Lyle's is 770-1938! Yeah! Were with Verizon so if any of you have verizon too, it's free!
So we got to go camping again last weekend! It was fun! Quinn rode up with me in the van, we had such a good visit! I really miss him! His life is so crazy and so is mine! So we ate really good food! Thanks to my wonderful mom! She is such an amazing cook! Love her tons! The only thing that could have made the weekend better would of been to have lyle their! He had a fund raiser for the fire department! So all day saturday he was at Big J's in Richmond for their pig out! But that's ok! His life wouldn't be the same without the fire department!
Also, today i got to go with my dad to visit my grandma J! Danika just loved her to death! She kept saying on the way home that she couldn't wait to go back to "grandma j's house to play" So yes, grandma you are a favorite in her eyes! Love you tons! Thanks for the jars and for the wonderful visit your the best!
So my week has been crazy when it comes to sleep, 1st my very super best friend Kristi came up on tuesday and we partied really hard. Tuesday night we were pretty good and were in bed by 11:00. Then came wednesday we met up with a really close friend from high school who we haven't seen since graduation pretty much. So he came over on wednesday and we stayed up until 2 a.m. Then i didn't get a nap that day because my wonderful mom came up and helped me paint the ceiling in the trailer which was very exciting because it needed it really bad. Also, we got fabric for new curtains also for the trailer which really excites me also.
Anyways, so I went to bed at midnight on thursday night but i was doing fine on friday, we came into town and went shopping with my mom, I got some good deals which makes me super happy as well. We got to go swimming at the pool thanks to farm bureau, they rent the pool out every year for cache valley residence. So we went and ate, then the wind blew and it was so chilly that we didn't stay to long afterwards. Then last night my wonderful, most amazing friend, who has the best ideas for being such a great mom, Jen asked me to come have a coloring stay up all night and hang out sleep over. So I took Linkin with me and we went their. I got lots of coloring done for my preschool for danika which was exciting. I'm pretty much all ready to start the 1st of september! Yeah! So yes we stayed up until 3am then linkin woke up shortly after so i didn't get to bed until 4 am. So yes, I beat! But, I'm still going strong! I haven't napped today and it's 6 oclock so i think i'll make it! Yeah! But tomorrow will definately be my catch up day before i don't have any help from my husband!
So yes, fun week! Crazy nights but got a love it every once in a while! Oh, and in closing Lyle asked me last night, " Will I have a wife back next week?" I thought it was so sweet! He really does care lots about me!
Yes, she did it! My brand new lipstick is ruined! Atleast I got some good pictures out of it! She's so funny and thinks she needs to put on my make-up almost every day! Crazy girl! Must take after her grandma charla because as most of you know i'm not crazy about wearing make-up very often!
