My husband the comedian

I had been asking Cort for about a week to cut Kimball's hair before we move. So, just like the great husband he is did what I asked, his way of coarse. I was out running errands and lo and behold this is what I came home to. Cort thought it was the greatest thing ever and is hoping for it to grow into the ultimate skullet. I have to admit I had a good laugh, even though Kimball looks like he is 50.

Seen and Heard

Seen: While trying on lipstick at the MAC counter I look over to check on my kids in the stroller only to find Kimball slathering his lips with the darkest lipstick he could find. Talk about your coolaid stains. I only wish I had my camera with me.

Heard: While driving, Mom: Kimball look at that fancy car next to us. (referring to a brand new corvette) Kimball: Is that car kind of like Fancy Nancy?
Yes, my boy likes Fancy Nancy alright.

Heard: Mom: Kate it is time for nap. Kate: NO WAY!
Isn't she a little young to be so defiant? Apparently not.

Runway Hair

Kate woke up from her nap with a hair do I am sure I have seen in Vogue magazine before. I never knew it was so easy to attain.

Christmas Festivities

We love Christmas time with all of the pretty lights, the music and just the feel of this special time of the year. We were able to accomplish a lot this month. We made it to Disneyland, always fun, made a gingerbread house, sugar high, had a fun week up in Sacramento with the family, sledding, visited family in Fresno, more fun with cousins, a great Christmas and a fun couple of days after Christmas with family in Arizona, more fun with cousins. Now that things have settled down a little we are starting to pack for our big move in three weeks.

Kimball was so excited about the "snow" at Disneyland.

My cute family at Disneyland.

I am pretty sure that Kate had more fun painting her foot with frosting than actually decorating the house.



Sledding with cousins.

Aunt Holly and Kate.

Uncle Ezra and Kimball.

Kate sledding down a hill on her bottom. She was bombing this hill by herself, and she wasn't going slow either. She's our fearless little girl.

Kimball and Calista having too much fun.

Santa came to my Dad's house and read the grand kids a story. Kimball was so happy to see him and listened intently to every word that he spoke.

Listening ever so carefully.

Our sweet little girl.

Thanksgiving fun

We had another great Thanksgiving in St. George this year.It was a lot of fun and I am pretty sure that Cort is now officially hooked on The Unit, thanks Dennis. I wish I had gotten some pictures of the guys playing a little touch football with a bunch of teenagers at a park. Trust me, I am pretty sure the older guys thought it was the super bowl.

The kids are entertained, check.

Lots of fun with family, check.

Our little Katelyn

Kate has just been getting way to big too fast. She is such a little fire cracker. She is very independent and loves doing everything that Kimball does. This little miss has the most ear piercing scream you will ever hear, and thinks she runs our little family. I mean who doesn't enjoy being woken up at 5 every morning to a cute voice yelling MAMA, MAMA, MAMA, until someone comes to get her. Once she is awake, so is everyone else in the house, she is not yet capable of making her voice quiet. We love Kate and her wiggly buns, sassy and sweet personality, and her cute little face.



Princess in pj's.

Kate at her friend Malia's tutu birthday party. So much fun!

She is so darn cute, look how big that backpack is on her.

Halloween madness

Halloween day was a very long one for us. Kimball had a doctor's appt.in the morning followed by a party at his school. After some short naps we headed to downtown Redlands for some "safe" trick-or-treating. It was fun but pretty busy. Next we ran home made some side dishes for dinner at a friends house. After dinner we got the kids ready once again in costume for more trick-or-treating. All-in-all it was a really fun day and night.The kids had a blast. Kate's way of getting candy was to just give a cute stare with hand extended to those who were handing out candy. I will have you know she made out better than Kimball did in the candy department. By the end of the night she was practically dragging her bucket. She would not let us hold it, trust me we tried. She insisted on carrying it like a purse in the crease of her arm. Kimball and his friend Phoenix sprinted door to door screaming trick-or-treat before ever knocking on the door. It was very cute. The little boys would give each other high fives at each door because they had run so fast.

Kimball as Batman, Phoenix as a Pirate and Kate as herself, a busy bee.


This is the best picture we could get of the kids. I swear they have some way of knowing right before the camera is going to go off and they turn their little heads.


After a long day of candy binging Kate went to sleep, the boys watched a movie and the adults got to play games.

Kimball and Kate at his school party. Kate really liked to sit at the table with the big kids. She is a quick one though. Notice the sucker in one of her hands. The little girl next to her took her eyes off of it for two seconds. All I have to say is, "you snooze, you loose sister."

Pumpkin Patch and Carving

Kimball made a new friend.

Watch out for the crazy woman driver.

Operation

Kimball informed me that Kitty had been stepped on and squished and that he needed to preform an operation to fix him. I handed the tools (literally screwdrivers, hammers and such)to Dr. Kimball as he carefully "fixed" Kitty. I am happy to say Kitty made it through the surgery, he is now just taking lots of naps and staying out of the way of peoples feet.

Halloween is almost here!!!

Halloween at Disneyland

This is not a great picture, but it is pumpkin heads of Goofy and Mickey Mouse. I should have gotten pictures of everything else. They have everything decorated really cute. We had a fun afternoon there on Thursday.

Kimball wears his costume everyday! I have already had to sew it up in a few places. Here is one cute boy eating a pumpkin cookie he made and decorated. We love the fall!
