Random things.

I have wanted to write this down So that one day my kids could read it.

I also think it's cute.

Here is one thing that my kids say.

When ever our CD skips because of scratches they always say.

"OH NO the CD is ITCHY!!!"

I have never corrected them, I think it's cute.

Tanner says a lot of catch phrases, Like

"holy mama" and "sweet mama"

He told me he wanted to learn to speak Spanish because it sounds like Japans.!?!...

Mckenna she is more of a giggler and a smiler.

Oh their is one thing she says she calls prince charming "handsome."

Love it!!

She also loves to make other people laugh and smile.

Emma is mostly a COPY CAT and if some one laughs at it she will repeat it.

But here are just some fun things about this girl.

I can't keep shoes on here and she hates wearing anything on her legs.

When ever I put tights on her I can't pull them to high and the toes has to be perfect.

She won't tell me what perfect is to her thou.

Mason is not saying a lot he does however sign

One thing he does say is EMMA at the top of his lungs.

One thing that he does is when ever he wakes up he will rock his bed back and forth to bang on the wall. I really hope this crib will last.

Man I just have to say how much I love my kiddos. I have to also thank all the people that help me out with them.

Family members, school teachers, Church leaders, neighbors, our youth in Rob's class, and their wonderful father, Love that man too.

Love you fam more then words can say!!!

Ok we had a Birthday!!!

Our sweet girl McKenna had one.

The weather was not the greatest so he had the Birthday party a week latter.

She LoVEs the farm, we went to Thanksgiving point with some of her friends and had a blast!!!

Here is some fun facts about McKenna

She is 6 when she was born she weight 9 pounds 13 oz

She is a little me, which can me good and bad.

She LOVE to help out anytime.

When she wakes up she always has a smile on her face.

She loves to learn, I buy those home school work books at the dollar store.

She would have them done in a week if I let her.

She loves to cuddle with me and LOVES her Grandpas.

McKenna can remember a lot she always keeps me on my toes.

Mckenna does not like a lot of chocolate. When ever we make chocolate chip cookies

I make a special batch for her.

Her sense of dress style we haven't fingered out.

( I have a pick picture at the bottom so you can see)

If I don't set out her clothes for her she will come downstairs in something that covers her body but looks like a blind man dressed her.

Sometimes I'll let her stay in them but most of the times I go and pick something new.

Mckenna is so LOVING if you ever need a hug she's your gal.

I asked her who is your best friend she told me " you and dad are" : ]

McKenna is the first granddaughter on my side.

Miss Mckenna we love you so much!!!

I just LOVE what Rob did for the Invite!!

The girls showing off their face painting.

One of the games.

This is one of the outfits that she came downstairs in.

Got to love it right ?!?

More fun thoughts.

My kids pulled out this book for me

"The crayons box that talked."

I haven't read that one for a while. After reading the book they wanted to do a craft.

I thought will you could just draw a picture but they do that all the time.

Then I remembered seeing this blog one melting crayons for Valentines.

This would work great and I had all the stuff for it

This is what you will need.

-cup cake holder I wanted to have heart one.

Oh and don't for get to spray your pan.

have your kids take off the wrappers

Set your oven to 225 bake for 5 to 7 min

set in a cool place until they are ready to color with.

you don't have to wait long.

I took a tooth pick and put our names in them just before they really cooled down.

My kids love them Tanner and Mckenna took theirs to school.

They want to make some more for there friends.

When I make them next time I think I'll pair up the colors better.

Valentines gifts.

I always forget about Valentines but not this year (I hope).

OK Rob if you are reading this STOP right now.

1-4-3

I will getting a gift for all kids teachers.

You can find it here

http://familyfun.go.com/valentines-day/valentines-day-gifts-gallery-838248/

something small but fun for the kids and the teachers.

I also get to teach Pre School that week and have the best gift for there mothers.

but the hardest thing for me to do is the one for my husband.

I always try and do something but it never works out.

So here is it I'm doing a Valentines basket.

I'm making him some black silk PJ, painting out numbers 1-4-3 means I Love you,

slippers, a good old coupon book.

A good movie, chocolate hearts,

And some other stuff to fill the basket with.

I really think I got this one I can't wait for pictures.

What are you doing for your husband I would love to get some ideas for next year.

Fun thoughts.

I have promise my sister in law Mary from Crafty Gals that I would do this.

I love to read books to my kids and then do Craft.

This idea came to me when I was teaching. I was trying to find

"The Little Red Hen" But I came across this book

"The Little Red Hen (makes a pizza) "

What a cute book. I thought to my self this would make a great Chore cart.

Here is how

1st Read the book to your kids and get them involved.

2ND How many people do you have in your family?

that will be the amount of slices there are.

3rd The toppings will be your chores make sure they are age appropriate, ALSO make sure

everyone has chores to do.

4Th you can put them in a envelope or for fun make a bowl and pull them out of there.

When they are done put them on the pizza.

5Th when the pizza is all full you can have a pizza party.

I would love to make this chore chat but two out of the three don't eat pizza so this would not work for me.

When making a chore chat make sure it's something you can stick by, and something that works for You and your family.

Here are some others idea.

I hope you enjoy.

I'm making my magnet boards this week Love them.

There are some many ways you can do chore chart. What do you do and does it work for you.

My house and Christmas what happen.

I guess " when it rains it pours "

Our roof started right after the kids Christmas break and right before Christmas

Perfect timing right.

Here is our Roof

Well some of it.

Here are some photo of the inside

We also had some fans downstairs in the basement.

One of the worst part of it was the fans they were SO LOUD.

People would come over to our house knowing we would be home ring the door bell pond on the door honk the horn and we still could not hear them.

They were LOUD!!!!

We ended up have to spend Christmas at out in laws place.

Which was a blessing in disguise. It was the last Christmas that we had with Nana.

Any ways Uncle Jason helped us make cookies for Santa.

He did a great job Love that guy.

There is a spacial bond with Grandpa and Mason.

I did it I made them. My sister and I had PJ just like these when we were young.

I know this because my grandma made them for us.

My grandma moved and when she did she held a yard sale.

I helped out with it and asked if I could have this box of patterns.

When I got home I opened it up and remember all the outfit she made for the grand kids.

I think they turned out great Thank you Linda for helping me with the first one.

My girls love them.

I can't wait to make ones next year.

I also made some for Tanner but we didn't take a picture fast enough.

Home Coming.

My kids were so excited to have Nana and Grandpa come home.

They missed there fight so they came home latter that night I think it was 11:00.

So I need to stay home with the sleeper ( Tanner, McKenna, and Mason )

Emma was the only one that could stay awake.

they served in the London, England Mission.

As I look throw the photos I can't help to think about the reunion Nana is having or had.

I can't help but think of the angels that were there to greet her.

Her mother and father that she was so close to.

Grandpa made a statement in his talk.

They would kid around saying " On Wednesday they didn't need to worried about there new company one there mission.

They already know if they would get along they never switched.

She passed away on Wednesday she left her mission on either and transfer to a new area.

We love you Nana then, now and forever.

Here is your sack it XOXOXOX
