Tree house Museum

Cass was out of school for the weekend, so we were trying to find something fun to do on Friday, so we traveled down to Odgen to go to the treehouse mesuem with our friends the Coats. It was the first time I had done anything big like this without at least Jordan or Kylee to help with the babies. Glad to have Jodi and have 2 sets of eyes in a place that big. It is also good to have a kids eye view as I explain later on. It went really well and I can't wait to do it again.


Cassady got to be the ladybug in the little play they did.


Our next president! He promises to never sit at the desk, only climb on it!
Aj had to climb up on these drums to play them.

Addison political platform will be reading for children. Isn't this cute!!
Fireman Addie.
I wanted a picture of all three of my kids on the firetruck. This is as good as it gets. They all wanted to drive.
Addison was going to feed this sheep, when it moved and scared her.
AJ feeding his baby sheep.
He was being so sweet with the babies I wanted to get a picture of it, but this is what I caught.
Rodeo queen!

Ride em cowboy!
Pretty Cowgirls!
This was a milking cow and you could really milk it.
AJ loved the trains, just didn't like it when Addie touched any of them.
Next Queen Arthur?
Play knights and castles
Queen Cassady
Large trains
The queen of cheese!
We were all playing in what the kids called the cupcake house. All of the sudden I couldn't see Addison. I walked out of the little house thinking she couldn't have gone far, She was just here, no luck. Jodi and started running around yelling for her. I was really panicking. When Brooklyn said she is right here. She had climbed inside this oven and closed the door and was right in the room the whole time. I thought she was gone. Little stinker!
After being there for about 7 hours the 3 babies were done!!! Tears, tears, tears! It was 6:30
and with that many tired kids it was either fast food or Chuck-a-rama. WE hit chuck-a-rama. Jodi and I and 6 kids under the age of 7, 3 of them under the age of 2. We stood in line for probably about a half hour. I think everyone in line with us thought we were crazy. The kids love getting what ever they wanted to eat and AJ had a good time sculpting his orange Jello. We made a huge mess, but left a really large tip! It was a day of total chaos, which is the new normal for us and what we love. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back.

Happy Valentines Day!

Grandma bought everyone PJ's for valentines day. Thanks for the fun cute PJ's Grandma!
Cheese !!!
AJ and his pretty pink boots!
Aj has learned how to unzip his PJ's. After finding him holding his poopy diaper twice in the morning, we now make sure he always has on a onesie. Don't know what we will do this summer.
We were at a popular grocery store and Cass saw the balloons and wanted to get one for the twins for valentines day. We stood in line to get Them. Finally it was our turn and she had decided on an Elmo one and a lady bug one for the twins and a princess one for herself. The guy handed them to us and said $30 for 3 balloons. I about fell over. Another reason I don't like Valentines day, jacked prices. We handed the balloons back and walked a few doors down to greenbacks and bought a monkey, princess crown and flower balloons for $3. They loved those balloons!
Cass even got a hug from Addie
Addison's Cheesy face! Boogers and all! She always says mom boogers! A little while ago we were walking thorugh Sam's and Addie was telling me she had boogers, mom and AJ was sticking his fingers in his nose pulling out boogies and saying, OOOW!

We had fun making cookies and having fun with some valentines surprises.
AJ had to have his own frosting bowl. Forget the cookies!

Show us your cookie Addie and say cheese!

My cute boy making a mess all over mom! I have never eally like Valentines day. We had a fun time this year!
A good pic of Addies throwing us one of her evil looks.
We told Joran that we would pay for her to go to the sweethearts dance, if she asked someone besides Chris (her boyfriend). Surprising us she took us up on our offer. She asked one of her good friends.

She actually got his boutineer on by herself, she is learning. This boy bought her a coursage!!! They had a fun time! Isn't she beautiful?!

Random Things to keep my blog updated and my New Years resolution going.

Recently the twins have found watching TV is fun. Addison turns on the TV and will follow you around saying,"Einsteins, mom, TV, Einsteins" She loves the little Einsteins. It is kinda nice when I have something to do, but I don't want them to watch too much TV.
This is one of their favorite pastimes. They climb on everything. At least AJ does and Addie follows if she dares. I push the table over to squish in the three chairs at the back and then put the 2 chairs left up on the table otherwise AJ pushes the chairs around to help him climb on things. This picture they were put on the table to play with Ky.


Addison put on the Mr. potato head glasses. This is also my nakey baby. She loves to be nakey, and when ever you change her diaper she says, "Nakey, Nakey." She will cry if you don't let her be naked. AJ likes to be nakey, but doesn't ask for it all the time. The problem is lately they started taking off their diapers when they are nakey! Whenever we take their clothes off, I tell them if they take their diapers off they have to get dressed. Who ever thought that being dressed would be a punishment.


We are not big football fans, so we had an Anti-Superbowl party. We invited our neighbors, who have 3 daughters over to play Wii games with us 5 girls. The men watched the game at our neighbors house. At least Justin did. We have church until 4:30pm and Josh had to do tithing and it was Fast offering week. Josh got home from church about 7:30pm. Justin watched most of the game by himself, Josh took AJ over when he got home and they watched some of the game.
The little girls did our hair, while we took our turn playing Mario. Kylee sporting her fancy hairdo.
We had fun playing Mario and Rock Band. I found out that I suck at Rock band. I can sing and do the drum pedal, but everything else I keet making us fail and the game would stop and everyone would look at me. Good thing I am not a musician.
When AJ and Addie go up to their room and are quiet I know I am in trouble and they are into something they are not suppose to be. This was one of those days. I don't know how they got this box of cereal, but they knew to run up to their room and hide behind the rocker. They just didn't know that they shouldn't be quiet or mom knows there is trouble.

Happy Birthday Budda Bean

Cassady turned 7 on the 22nd of January. She has grown-up so much this year. It is hard to believe she is 7. She was my baby for 5 years! She is an amazing little girl and the best big sister. I am so glad she has the twins. She is my middle child and is able to fit in with the big kids and the little kids. Her and Jordan fight a lot, but she always says don't tell her, but I love Jordan! She has become the best reader and she now loves to do it. She loves to play Wii with her sisters. Mario is her favorite, followed up by Just Dance. She is working hard to be able to compete in gymnastics. She is one level away. She loves dance class with her friends. She makes friends were ever we go. When we go to Mcdonalds or the fun park, she makes a friend and will tell them to come back when she does. She is an awesome little loyal friend and always want everyone to be happy.
She had a birthday party with her little friends on Friday night. She wanted to have the same party that the big girls have had this year, so we projected a movie in the toy room. They watch despicable me or that is what we put on for them. There was a lot more talking and playing than watching. We left as soon as the party was over to go down to the hospital to see my grandpa. Cassady's real birthday was the day of my grandpa's funeral. We opened presents that morning before the funeral and then after the burial we went to Marie Calendar's for dinner with my brother Bob and his wife Kelli and their 5 kids and my brother Trevor and his girlfriend Darci, and my mom and dad. There was 18 of us. They gave us our own little room (well not to little). It was really nice and we had a good time. We went on a night that kids meals were free and the kids each got a big piece of pie with there meals. We sand Happy Birthday thanks to Kelli for remembering to sing. The next night we had a birthday party with my family for my dad, Cassady, me and Abagail (my niece). We made cupcakes and had a big dinner and opened presents and had a fun time, with all 10 of my parents grand kids.



We have nicknamed her Budda Bean, ever since she was 2 and Josh took her trick-or-treating and she got whoppers and came running back saying "Dad, Dad, I got you Budda Beans." So Happy Birthday to my little Budda Bean!
