Tangled

Over Spring break the boys and I took my Grandparents to the movies. We watched Tangled in 3D. This was their 1st 3D movie, they thought it was pretty neat. Grandpa did fall asleep a couple of times : ) When I was younger my Grandma would take my sisters and I to all the new Disney movies that came out. It reminded me of that. It was such a cute movie. We all enjoyed our time out.

Keaton and his new look

Well, we took Keaton to get his eyes checked and low and behold he needed glasses. Apparently he couldn't see well for awhile but in the summer we took Talon in to have his eyes checked, and he was faking that he couldn't see. So, Keaton thought maybe his were not bad either. I had just noticed there were many things I would try to show him and he would say "you can see that" so I had him checked out. He has done pretty well with them so far.

Talon lost his first tooth

Talon had waited a long time to loose a tooth. Everyone in his class had lost one way before he did. It was getting pretty loose but he was afraid it would hurt to pull it out so he asked me to help him. Here he is pointing at the loose one : )

After we pulled it and cleaned up the area. Notice the permanent one ready to take it's place. Since then it has moved right on in. The next day he lost the one right next to it. 2 nights of tooth fairy visits, what a lucky kid!

A Wonderful Christmas Day!


The big picture is the middle is the boys waiting to see what Santa brought them! So exciting!

From Santa!

This is what that boys woke up to from Santa! Keaton got a blue MP3 player and some beef jerky.


Talon got an awesome Nerf gun with extra bullets and a gum-ball machine that he is crazy about.
Carter got Star Wars underwear and a dinosaur Pillow Pet.
The boys were so excited to wake up on Christmas morning. Talon was a bit worried that he might only get coal this year but was pleasantly surprised to see he got what he wanted!

Some Christmas Eve pictures

After the boys went to bed on Christmas Eve I was walking around the house looking at some of the Christmas decorations that we put out and just spent time thinking of the great memories we have from them. My village pieces have mostly come from my mom over the years. She picked out some great ones and it has made my village so darling. This year I put it on the fireplace and I love how it turned out.
Talon made and taped up a picture for Santa. He wanted him to know that he it trying to be good!
The nutcrackers are mostly Keaton's. When he helps out as an elf at G&G Nelson's he gets to choose one at the end of the night. He also got to purchase a large one and a small one at the Nutcracker this year (G-pa gave him $20 dollars to spend). His Nana takes the grand kids to see it when they turn 10. He had such a great time!

Talon had to make good on his promise to leave out a Jamba juice this year. When he saw Santa he was told that he gets to many cookies and would like something healthy! Talon was determined to help Santa get his wish. He went earlier in the day with his Daddy to get one to put out later. What a sweet boy. I love my pretty tree. Each year I pick up a new pack of ornaments to replace an older set. We have the best tree downstairs though. It has all of the homemade ornaments on it. I also get the boys a new ornament each year that suits them. My little elf is from my Aunt that I have had for years it is just something that I love to put out each year....it makes me happy! And............someone is sleeping on the job and it is not me! Poor hubby is still tuckered out from his Korea trip!

Christmas Eve

Rick telling the story of Christ's birth to the boys.
After the scripture stories he always reads his childhood book The Night Before Christmas.


The kiddo's sporting their new Christmas jammies. We also have a tradition of getting a new game to play as a family. This year we got the Ultimate Connect Four game. We had so much fun! Talon wasn't feeling well so he was able to get right to bed. Carter kept looking out his window and saying "Santa where are you, are you coming". Keaton was restless and didn't get to bed until 11ish!
