Flashback Friday

Looking through my pictures and seeing this one makes wish I could put on some shorts, sunscreen, sunglasses, and pack a picnic. We are in the thick of winter and it has been chilly!!! This "flashback" is from a fun visit to the Hogle Zoo. A great day with my mom, sisters, and our kids. This is 2 years ago : ) We have enjoyed getting a zoo pass each year. The boys love the bird show, the monkeys, and of course the train. (I wonder when/if they are going to update the things that you see while you are on the train ride??? Weird stuff!) Look at those cute kids : ) Love, love, love em!!

Keaton, Zander, Talon, Mom, Emma in the stroller, Sis~Meli behind mom.

Fun in the snow : )

It has been pretty chilly around here lately. The boys have enjoyed playing in the snow. Rick hasn't liked shoveling it though....me either, Iv'e done it a bit too! I do love the snow, it is so pretty. Growing up it was very common for us to be out snowmobiling with our Dad. I haven't been able to go for quite sometime since I have the little bambinos but I look forward to taking them out to enjoy a great ride someday. I think they will absolutely love it : )

I have been out finding great deals this week! It has been crazy.... but super great deals are to be had and I am taking full advantage of them. Gotta love a great deal!!!

Some cute pic's of Carter

Carter was enjoying hanging out with his Daddy until he spotted a fun toy on the ground.
He kept saying "ball ball". Ball is his FAVORITE word to say! What a cute little bugger he is!

Then he had fun climbing up and down on this chair. He is a super duper climber boy.

And.....like always, his "britches" are falling down. He is Mr. Skinny Waistline.

Keaton was baptized today!

We had the greatest day today. Keaton was baptized! Wow, as a mom that is so wonderful to be able to say that. Keaton looked so pure in his whites, he looked so handsome afterwards. He has been looking forward to this big day for quite sometime now. We have great family support ~ thanks for all of you that were able to attend. Talon and I said the prayers, Rick and Amber gave talks (they both did such a wonderful job), Keaton's piano teacher played the piano and Nanna led the music, Brother Erekson conducted and performed the confirmation and Pappa Ron performed the Baptism. What a wonderful spirit we had in the room! Like I said earlier, it was a great day!

Happy Birthday Granny...........LOL!!!!

Happy Birthday Granny!!!!!!!!! I couldn't resist this one! My sister Amber is 30 today! This picture is so fitting don't you think?!? (this is her Halloween picture....she set herself up). On our B-day's we call the B-day person and say Happy Birthday Granny........It is from some show we watched years ago.......anyway we are a bit lame I know but it is silly to us. : )

Seriously now, I am so grateful to have such a wonderful sister. I am happy that the two of us live by one another so we can go/do things together and with our kids. Amber is such a great person and even though she is my little sis I look up to her in a big way. I learn much about cooking, mothering, caring, compassion, spirituality, kindness and giving from her. She is a great mom and my boys love that she is their Aunt. I am thrilled that she is my coupon, talking, adventure, crazy moments buddy. She and I have been through all kinds ADVENTURES together!!!! Thanks Am for being who you are! Thanks for all that you do for me and my family, you are truly a great person and I am truly blessed to have you in my life. I love you ! Kim

Watch out sugar bugs.......

Yesterday the boys ate a bunch of their Christmas candy. I tried my best not to buy but a tintsy bit......but Great-grandma Salmon knows what they like, SUGAR!!!!!!! You can see by the size of the massive suckers what kind of day we had yesterday......can you say crazy bouncing off the wall boys!!!!
But........then, the crazy dental assistant in me comes out and after a treat like that we brusha, brusha, brusha!!!!!!! Which leads me to today. We ventured to Salt Lake today for the kids Dental visits. They think it is so fun going to the dentist. They always are nervous that they will have "sugar bug houses" (cavities). But, once again no cavities!!!!!! I don't know what they/I would do if they did find one?!?! After the dental visit they get a token to ride on this cute merry-go-round.

Keaton was being a great big brother and took Carter along with him. We couldn't get the seat belt to work for Carter to ride on his own.

I wish I had that much fun when I was a kid at the dentist. I cried every time I knew I had an appointment. Lots of great Pediatric dentists to choose from now days : )
