Out to dinner with kids.....

Cache! You make me smile. Rob and I took the boys to see the movie Bedtime Stories. After the show, we went to Texas Roadhouse to eat. Well, Cache has this little thing, that if he coughs to many times or gags at all, he can't stop gagging and throws up! Well, you probably can see where this is going. Right? So, we have just gotten our food and Cache starts gagging (he has had a cold) and I reach for a napkin because I know what's coming, but unfortunately I was not as fast as I needed to be. He threw up all over me. My entire front, all the way to my knees. I didn't even know what to do. They were super busy and I was afraid the people around us would be able to smell it. I know ** So Gross!! I threw Cache at Rob so he could take him in the restroom. I think I actually snapped my fingers at a passing waiter, asked for a sack to put all the yuck napkins in and for someone to box up our food. Rob brought Cache back out, who was fine and didn't have anything on him!! When we got in the car, I looked back at Cache and said,"You threw up all over mommy!" He just smiled and gave a little laugh! Yep, that's my Cache. After I got cleaned up at home, I got my food out to finally eat, but my appetite wasn't really there. I left it sitting on the table and turned my back for a few minutes..... the dog ate it! Nice huh?

"Mom, why do you do this to me?"

Climbing the wall !!!

Cache loves to play with this dump tuck. It goes wherever he goes.

Cache 2nd birthday!

One of Cache's annoying things that he loves to do!! He does it to every rug in the house, at least ten times a day.

Hayden is 7 years old! Where does the time go? He is in 2nd Grade and loves his teacher. He is such a happy kid and great fun to be around. His class is learning how to play chess, so he is always challenging everyone to play him. I never win!

Wyatt is 4 years old. He is in pre-school 3 days a week. He is always singing songs, (just like his dad, except Wyatt always has the right words) he's very observant, and meticulous. Wyatt loves animals. He's also my cuddle bug!

Cache is 2 years old and all I can say is Wow! This kid-- it's a good thing his face is so cute! He is like a whirlwind of mess. He never stops getting into stuff and now that he can talk so good, he'll chew you out if he feels the need to do so! It is fun to hear him say new things everyday, I can't grasp the fact that he is already two! He's a fun one!

....BOYS.....Best Buds!!!

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was such a Blast! It was so fun to see and feel the excitment, through my boys! We stayed home this year, so it was really nice to play with the kids all day long and just relax. We didn't have to pull the kids away from any of their new things to go anywhere! We did go to Utah the weekend before Christmas and visited with all my family. Every year, instead of buying gifts between my brothers and sister-in-laws and Rob and I, we do Christmas for a family. We always meet together and wrap all the gifts. This year, the all the kids delivered the Christmas gifts! It made my heart swell to watch all my nieces and nephews (which I am so proud of ) and my own children, walk in a line up to the door of the house they were delivering presents to. All of them holding gifts and some with bags of presents also. The family was so suprised and grateful! It was so wonderful to hear my boys talk about it later on. It was definitely my highlight this Christmas season and I know all the kids will remember it always.

Winter Last Year 2007-this is one of my all time favorite pictures of my boys!! They were standing outside our patio door, looking into the house. Notice Cache's face getting smashed into the glass. He didn't seem to mind.
