Funny Things said...

Yesterday, Kaylee was needing to get something out of our room - I told her she better NOT go into my closet - she of coursed asked why (Like she didn't know!!!) I told her that there are Christmas presents hid in there (She already knew that!!) and that if she found them Christmas might not happen this year! Bryson said "Don't worry about goin' in there Kaylee. ALL it is, is a tunnel dug to a coal mine"!!!

Grandpa and Grandma Baseball stop in for a visit...

I love that our kids have had the chance to get to know their Great Grandparents so well. They are amazing people and we love it it when they stop in for a visit! They were on their way to the Snowflake Temple.

Our Get away... with Kaci...

Okay... So Saturday was my B-day (#37) and my present... a getaway to the Bed and Breakfast in Snowflake Friday night. We love going there! Alan's mom watched our older 3 kids, but since Kaci is STILL NICELY ATTACHED... she came along! The rooms there are beautiful and the evening was Perfect! As I was downloading my pics - I realized I didn't even get a pic of me on my b-day - I'm always the one taking the pics - I better learn to pass the camera to someone else so future posterity know that I EVEN EXISTED! (Ha Ha)

The Bruise...

Dad and Mom ask? "What were you thinkin'?"!!!!!

Bryson came home from school yesterday with the NICE LITTLE PERFECTLY ROUND BRUISE right below his bottom lip! I guess him and some friends were taking an eraser (the kind that goes on the end of a pencil) and making it like a suction cup on their skin - way to go!!! It's going to look real nice for family pics that I hope to take for the holidays! Boys will be Boys and mine is ALL BOY!!! We love you Bryson!

Caught with the Chocolate...

Today, while I was busy cleaning - Kaci was enjoying herself...

I had just brought these nuts and chocolate chips home yesterday and had not yet put them away - Kaci found them opened the bag and ATE PLENTY!!!

Look what I found...

UH OH... I got caught...

Back for more...OH... These are SOOOOOO GOOD!

Coloring Lessons...

Tonight Kaylee decided to teach Kaci how to color... and she actually got it! She wanted to hold ALL the markers (The kind that only color on special paper - thankfully) and would do a little Grunt if they tried to take one away from her. When it was time to put them away... she threw a little (BIG) fit! Oh no... these little fits are starting to happen a little more often... We might be in for some trouble!

Blake wanted to get in on the Coloring...

A Work of Art...

Storytime with Grandma...

Grandma Palmer (Alan's Mom) is up for the week visiting - last night for FHE she told stories. She is such a great storyteller and had EVERYONE'S attention! We love our Grandma!

Oh So Cute... Little Steps

Kaci is walking... Sunday she took 2 steps and today she is up to 5 steps. I love it - she gets so excited - and EVERYONE must clap for her when she's done or she scowls at us!

Is it a fast day or slow day?

Today, during Sacrament meeting, Blake asked "Mom, is it a fast day or slow day?" I kind of could figure out what he meant so I said " I guess it's a slow day" He said "GOOD!!!" and I asked "Why?" - His reply... "Because on Fast day - we don't get any candy from Dad's Bishop's office" What a KID!!!

Just one more Ride...

Yesterday, Dad took Kaci ridin' - SHE LOVED IT! In fact, she threw a little (BIG) fit when she had to get off!

Daddy's Little COWGIRL!

Yesterday Morning we woke up to this...

OOPS! The sprinkler's were left on over night! Our Kids sure were excited to see this and had fun seeing who could get the longest ice sickle!

Not NEW, but NEW to me...

Today I got a new Table (New to me) and I LOVE IT! I Found it on Craigslist and had to drive to Cottonwood to get it - but it was worth it. I think it looks great!

What a Beautiful Site...

Taken' from our back porch. I love this World we live in!

HO HO HO

Okay... A couple of days ago, Blake was takin' a bubble bath in our tub and prity soon I hear " HO HO HO come here Mom... I have a present for you"!!! He was tryin' to act like Santa! I think he added a few EXTRA bubbles when I was out of the room! So Cute!

FORTS...

Our Kids have worked all day (Veterans Day) on their Forts at the bottom of our property!

Kaylee and Kason workin' hard...

Dad Helpin' out a little...

Searchin' thru the Junk Pile...

I KNOW... THERE ARE WORSE ADDICTIONS THAN THIS!!!

Okay... so my husband is Addicted! He has finally been convinced that we DON'T Need to have a GAZILLION Horses around our place... THEY EAT TOO MUCH, so instead... He's turned to Goat's! He is just addicted to animals! But like I said... there are worse addictions! I give him a hard time about all his animals, but the TRUTH Is... I like them as much as he does! We now have 4 goats(Uncle max just gave us 3 more), but only 5 horses!

Our growing Goat Herd...

When we were in the Valley this past weekend - while driving around, we ran into Alan's Stud Horse he sold last year - it was fun seeing him and Blake even went for a ride! He is such a nice horse!

Kids say the funniest things...

This past weekend, Alan and I and the two little kids went to Phoenix to watch the Joe City/Pima f-ball playoff game (We don't need to talk about who won - obviously not who I was hoping for) anyways... Blake really wanted to stay home with the sitter so to try and make it a little more fun for him... We spoiled him a little. One thing we did was got him HOOKED on Slurpee Drinks from 7-11. On Saturday afternoon - he wanted one BAD and of course we couldn't find a 7-11 ANYWHERE... so as we were looking, a SAD LITTLE FACE looked up and said "You know little kids can go to Heaven if they don't get anything to drink" Of course... we got a good laugh and after he got his drink he said "I'm so glad I didn't go to Heaven" We are too Blake!

Okay... this is a few days later, but I just have to add this so I remember... Blake today said the funniest thing. We were in a store and of course it's bathroom was broke - and we were DESPERATE, so we went next door to a tanning salon to use theirs. As we walked to the very back of the store, Blake asked "What are those things?" referring to the tanning beds. I said " They are things that help tan people" He of course asked " What does tanning mean?" I said "It turns people brown" He looked surprised and said "I wish they had something that turned people blue - I want to be blue!" Such a silly KID!

Meet Velcro...

Just a little FYI... the picture below is from a few weeks ago.... He is actually BALD now as you can see in this pic above! We call him Velcro because everything sticks to his head!
