Latest Project

I finished this fun advent calendar last night. It turned out pretty cute.
Davy is excited to be able to open one box a day to see what is in them and to count down to Christmas. I am just excited that I got it done by December 1st. I got the idea from here.

Noses

My youngest boy has a fascination with nose holes, especially his own. He will sit there with his finger just hanging out up his nose. It is funny now because he is so little and cute...probably won't be so cute when he is older...Even a dinosaur's nose hole is fascinating...

100th Post

This is my 100th post. Pretty exciting stuff! It is fun to go back and see the posts from this past year. I really have enjoyed having this blog.

In this post I want to make a list for 10 Things of which I am Thankful.

1. My Husband- He is such a wonderful man and I love him so much. He does so much for me and is always thinking of me. I am so grateful that we were married 8 years ago.2. Davy- He is such a good sweet boy. I love all the funny things that he says and the joy he brings me. I am so grateful to be his mother.
3. Cubby- I love this little guy! I could just squeeze him...he is so much fun. I love how adventurous he is and how he tries so hard to keep up with the rest of us.
4. Our Home. We have had so many memories and good times here. It is my safe haven.5. My siblings- They really are my best friends and I am so grateful that we are all so close!

6. Exercise- I know funny thing to be grateful for huh, but it is my stress outlet. I always feel so much better after having exercised.

7. Chocolate- mmmmm, I love it!

8. My testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

9. I am grateful it is Thanksgiving tomorrow and I get to spend the day with my family.

10. This beautiful Poinsettia my husband brought me home today. I love how he shows me he loves me!
There are so many more things for which I am grateful, but I'll make that list another day. I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Helping Grandma Great

On Wednesday we got to go to Provo to help Grandma Startup put up her Christmas decorations. It is unbelievable that a year has gone by and that it was time to put them up again. I feel like we just took them down. It was a lot of fun and all the decorations seemed to go up fast this year (maybe Kristen and I are just becoming Professionals at it).

The kids sure enjoyed themselves.My favorite thing was having bunches of ornaments all close together on the lower part of the tree. Thanks Davy, Carly and Brandon for helping decorate the tree.

Uh-oh

This is Davy's stuffed animal Teddy.
He came in this morning and said, "Uh-oh Mom, Teddy has a Booger!" He then told me I had to fix it. Funny Kid!

Some Fall Fun

Aren't leaves in the Fall fun?

Davy sure thinks so.

Polar Express Train Set

Davy saw this in an ad and immediately started begging us for it. He would say, "Can we go to the Toy Store Mom?" I would ask him why and he would respond, "To get the Polar Express."Since Davy plays Polar Express all year anyway, we gave in to his pleadings. (We are softies, what can I say) We decided that this can be our train under our tree this year.Davy loves it and will play with this set for hours. It really is cute to watch him play trains.
