Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Snow!

We got a ton of snow which is very odd for over here but we were very excited! We got the kids bundled up and let them play! Hampton didn't really like it at first. We decided to just go out on our back porch which is where the picture with ruler is. That was before we got another 4 inches, totaling about 14 in. We had fun building a fort and a snowman right on our porch!! Yeah for snow!

Fun in the snow!

Graham Cracker Houses!

Hamptons new moves!

Hampton was really breaking out. Every time I turn on Taylor Swifts new cd they start dancing and Kysaac sings along with it. He's got a funny finale so if you can watch its worth your time! I sometimes forget I can't turn the camera with a video.

More Beach of our Big Boys

Fun at the Beach

It was pretty fun out there a little cold breeze but it was Fun!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!

Five years ago I married my best friend. I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for Matthew in my life. He is still my best friend and I love him with all my heart and soul! Happy Anniversary!

The Love of my Life!

I just wanted to let everyone in my life know how much I love my Husband. He is the most amazing person. He has been working so hard lately and trying to please so many people at the same time. I wanted him to know that he is doing a good job and I know it's not easy all the time. He is always supportive of me, my projects and my crazy ideas. He is such a good daddy! Kysaac and Hampton adore him. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or friend. I'm so glad I get to spend eternity with him. Thanks for everything you do and everything you are Matthew! We Love You!

Catch Up!

Hi everyone! I know its been awhile. I left the computer on the couch where the boys were playing and needless to say it fell off and broke the cord. Sooo we sent for a new one and were without computer for over two weeks. We have lots of catch up pictures so scroll down and enjoy!

Kysaac's Birthday #3!

Kysaac wanted a Rocket cake from the little Einsteins. This is mine and matts attempt to make him happy. We made it the night before and by the time we sang to him the candy windows had melted down. We had some friends over for dinner and cake. I can't believe we have a 3 year old.
We just took him to the doctor and he's 38 in. tall and 42 lbs! Wow!




Our mleted windows :(

Halloween!

Here's are Panda Express mascotts! I decided to make them panda bear costumes and Hampton loved putting the hat on. We did a little trick or treating at the mall after making their cameo at Matts Restaurant!

Carving Pumpkins!

We had a blast carving pumpkins! Kysaac picked out a cute face to go his and dad and him worked on it while I worked on mine. Kysaac was afraid to put his hands in the pumpkin to get the seeds out it was so funny! They turned out pretty good huh!

Pumpkin Patch!

Matt and Kysaac looking for a good one.
Kysaac was cute running around and making sure they didn't have yucky stuff on them, and he acted like he was so picky.
What can we say... He's a cutie!
This was on the hay ride to the patch! There was a petting zoo to and Kysaac loved the little pigs running around. Especially since we just watched Charoletts Web.

Hamptons Cake GO Maria

Hampton's 1st Birthday!

I can't believe that Hampton is already ONE! He is so cute and brings so much joy to our family. He has his dad wrapped around his finger. He started crawling at six months and walking at 10 1/2 to 11 months. He has 7 teeth and is working on his eighth. He loves to try and keep up with his brother and has the cutest pout ever! We Love You Hampton!
It was a little different to not have any family around but we had a good day with the boys! While Hampton had his morning nap we rolled out wrapping paper for Kysaac to color so we could wrap his gifts.
Then we had lunch and sang to him. He didn't understand why we were singing to just him. But he loved his cake! It was cute and fun for him to dig his fingers into it.


These are his presents! Kysaac helped him open them really good. He didn't care though he was excited. You should see him cuddle the panda, it's adorable!
Kysaac was good and showed him how to build a tower with his new blocks! He loved them and thier bright colors! He likes to stack them up and knock them over. He laughs when they fall.

Fishing

Everyone around this area goes fishing. When we ask people what they like to do or what their hobbies are, it's fishing. So Matt and I checked into it and while it can be an expensive hobbie it can be inexpensive too! We went and got a pole for Matt and a small one for Kysaac and went to the lake, which is about 10 min. away. We had a really good time and with just our family and the kids did really good. Kysaac doesn't understand how to cast but he is really good at realing the line in and really likes the idea of getting a fish. Our first trip was short and we learned a little without looking dumb infront of anyone. Our second trip we invited a couple from the ward and we had fun with them while also learning more about fishing. Matt and I both agreed that its a great way to get away from the stress of life right now. We think we are going to have a great new hobbie! Who'd a thought?




This is Jon, Kysaac wouldn't let go of him. It was really funny!
Hampton was having a great time as long as one of us was holing him. (this was his birthday too)

A day with Friends!

It's amazing how something so simple can make such a difference in your life. Matt and I have been trying to make some friends in our ward and area, it's hard with a restaurant schedule to get together with anyone. We finally managed to have a day off when our friends Kirk and Jill were going to be in Vancouver. We went to meet them and had a wonderful day together. They have two kids, Erica that is exactly 2months older than Kysaac, and Kaden who is an adorable 4 months. We went to a park that has a cool water park for kids. They had a blast. We also went to the mall with a fun play area. Hampton surprised us with his independence and love of slides. The videos were with phone so quality isn't that good but they're cute! Thanks Kirk and Jill!
