"I needa yo makeup"

MY THREE LITTLE MONKEYS!!! I am so thankful for these little boys. Even though Hayden would definatley not consider himself "LITTLE" (he is seven -and a half)! They are my treasures and I love them even when they make me CRAZY ( which is all the time)....

It's been kind of crazy the last little while! I've had a hard time finding the time to keep up with my blog. A few weeks ago I found the littlest MONKEY in our house, hanging off the bathroom counter top, having a great time with my makeup bag. I took some pretty funny video of him smiling in the mirror at himself- saying, " I needa yo makeup." Wyatt ran in to see what was going on and put his hand up to his mouth and yelled "SICK, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT HIM!" -and ran back out of the bathroom. I thought it was so funny that he had a black dot under his eye. I could tell that he had tried to use my eye liner and poked his face! What a lovely beauty mark! HIS DAD IS SO PROUD!!! Haha! We laughed so hard the other night when Cache somehow got a hold of Rob's chapstick, -which Rob ALWAYS has in his pocket. We tried to grab it from Cache as he said, " I got -yo makeup daddy." I'm the only girl in the house, but apparently I'm not the only one who wears makeup! haha

SNOW, SNOW, PLEASE MELT AWAY!!!! WE'D RATHER BE AT THE POOL TODAY!!!!

WRESTLING MATCH!!!

Saturday afternoon......One of my boys' favorite things to do with their Dad! WRESTLE!!!!!!!!! It's pretty much a constant thing! And I'm always on the side........."Stop it!", "Someone's going to get hurt", O' His leg is bent backwards!", "That's enough!", "Okay enough", "Watch your brother's arm", "O' Careful!", ..... No one hears me. They love it and I'll probably have another 20 years of wrestling in my house!

Wyatt helping Rob plow the driveway. Cache stood at the front door, looking out the window.....so sad!

Cache gets very upset when Rob isn't around, he will sometimes cry for hours. Rob was out of town for a couple of days last week and Cache cried for him the whole time. He was crying before we went to bed....it went on for an hour. Finally he fell asleep! At about 2:00a.m. he woke up and came into my bedroom, climbed in bed, and realized Rob wasn't there! O Crap! Not again! Yes again......... he started to scream "My daddy gone", "I needa my daddy!" He wouldn't let me hold him or even touch him. He'd run away from me screaming! I finally got back into bed and he stood in the kitchen crying for quite some time. I thought about calling Rob, to let him hear what he was missing!?! I'm glad my kids love me so much!?!

More pictures of Cache crying for his Dad. He saw Rob's picture on the computer! We love the lip!

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.
