It's Christmas Time again....

How is it time again to put up the Christmas Tree?? Oh man this year has gone by so fast. Well we decided to put up the Christmas Tree this weekend and Dallin was so excited and was counting down the hours until after church when he could help put up the lights. So we got out the tree and the kids helped David with the lights. We watched The Polar Express its what we always watch when we put up our tree and made homemade hot chocolate and rice krispy treats.

Dallin helping to make the Hot Chocolate. Its Dallin favorite drink ever.

And everyone loved it lol

"Cheese" with a mouth full of krispy treats

And Logan thinks that the tree skirt is a new soft blanket for him lol

Dallin hanging up his special ornament from the year he was born

And our finished tree. Its not a very good pic but it works for now lol

Dallins 6th Birthday Party

On Saturday we celebrated Dallins 6th Birthday his actual birthday is not until tomorrow so he thought that is was so cool that he could have a party before it was his real birthday lol This year we did a pirate party cuz Dallin is very into skulls and it all came together great. It was a very busy day that started at 6:00am cooking but Dallin loved it and that's what matters to me the most. All night he kept saying mom this is the best party ever I love it I really really love it lol
Here is a ton of pics from the night and thanks so much to everyone that took time out of there busy lives to come and celebrate with us. It really means so much to us all.

We had soup and rolls as the main dish.

Skull cupcakes.

A pirate ship cake

And a treasure chest cake.

Our table decorations

....Logan is 18 months old...

My little stink bug turned 18months old yesterday. I know that everyone says it I cant believe how fast the time has gone. It seems like if I blink I miss something new that he has learned or figured out. He is such a funny baby and keeps us all laughing constantly. He loves to talk these days but 98% of the time you don't know what he is saying. But that does not stop the little chatterbox lol. A lot of the time it sound like he is speaking Chinese. Oh wait maybe it the Korean half of him coming out :) (David speaks Korean and likes to think that he is a 6 foot 5 Korean) lol Anyways I put together a bunch of pics from the last few weeks of just little stories that make me smile when I think of my little weez...
He is weighing in at 27.5lbs and is 33.5 inches tall...


Logan loves to rearrange the fridge. Its the only thing that I can do to keep him off of me when im trying to make dinner. Just open the fridge and he is happy for a good half hour.

He gets excited about the different size bottles lol

And thinks that they are all drinks.

Logan also loves to cook. Dallin has a play kitchen in his room and most the time Logan is in there stirring up something in the pans and putting it into the microwave. Then brings it to you to try. Its very cute then he will pretend to taste it and always says mmmmmm

Last week I found out that Logan has been hiding golden grahams down the heater vent so that he can go back at anytime and have snacks. He is like a bear storing food for the winter.

Logan also loves to vacuum. Every night when we clean up the living room he knows that its time to pull out the vacuum so when I come back in the living room his is standing there with his ready to go. What he loves best these days is playing bumper vacuum's. He will run his into the front of mine and just laugh and laugh.

These are just a few that I took yesterday. And I also noticed that he is always in pajamas when I take pictures lol. I promise I do dress my kids I just happen to only take pics at night when they are already changed lol

"Some people think that you need money to make special memories. Some people think it's the big things in life that we remember when we're old. Some people think that expensive gifts show someone you care about them. I disagree with those. It's the small moments that make up our lives. It's the simple things that we remember when we are old. It is the small and simple things that we do for and with our children that shows them how special they are".
You can live an ordinary life or you can live and extra-ordinary life. I'm going for extra-ordinary!
