Caught Red Handed!!!!

Ok, so for any of you who didn't see me over the Christmas holiday, boy did you miss out on a good laugh! We stayed with my mom and dad and had a great time, mostly... On Christmas eve, Brett went in to my mom's dining room and dumped out a packet of fruit punch mix( you know, the RED stuff). But he did not stop there.... he added an entire box of chicken stock to the equation!!! Needless to say, I freaked when I walked in and saw him standing in the middle of a 3 ft red blotch on a light blue carpet! He had red hands and red little toes! (Looking back, he was kinda cute... but not at the time) So for the next two hours I soaked up red chicken stock out of the carpet, scrubbed in stain remover and occasionally cried! When I had gotten as clean as I could, I had about 2 inches of red liquid that I was able to mop up and to top it off-BRIGHT RED HANDS! I looked like a moron! Ben teased me that at least I was festive:) Julie thought I had burned my hands. It was quite a sight.
It has been one week since that happened and my knuckles are still red in some spots. That was definitely a Christmas that I will always remember. I tried to take pictures, but they just didn't do it justice. You had to see it in person.

ok, so I'm retarded!

Um, I guess I need to say sorry. I've had a few people telling me that you can't leave comments on my blog. Well, that's because I was too lazy to rearrange my blog, so I was only posting through pictures and other gadgets. And apparently you can't comment unless its an actual blog post. So sorry, I will be better about using actual blog posts from now on.

Holidays make me homesick!!

So I've decided that I get homesick during the holidays. Next week just won't come fast enough for me. Lately, I've been feeling like an outsider here in Colorado and really missing my family and friends back in Utah. I've been staying busy with Christmas prep, but now that its done, I'm just feeling...blah. It sucks when your best friend works 60+ hours a week and you don't have any family to keep you sane.

Wild N Crazy Girls

Amy came to Colorado in June and she couldn't have come at a better time. Ben had been working crazy hours at work ( like 85 in one week!!) So for me to have someone to unwind with was amazing!

Yeah, I know we're dorks, but I don't care. We laughed harder that night, than I have laughed in a long time. Thank goodness for girl friends:)

Kindergarten Roundup...

Kindergarten roundup was this week. I think I was more nervous than Landon was. He was sooo excited to get there. He could hardly hold still. It was a fun day and we got a preview of what to expect next year. He will probably be one of the only kids in kindergarten who is going to go half day, but I think he will be fine
His teacher said he doesn't need to work on anything over the summer, so we will spend the summer enjoying our time together

All for Daddy!

Brett has started walking!! Yeah!!!! He just took off one day. He walked to Ben and then walked back to me. It was really fun. I was so glad that Ben was home to see it. He was really worried that Brett would take his first steps while he was at work. I can't say that I'm entirely surprised. Brett is the biggest daddy's boy of them all. He follows Ben everywhere; from the moment Ben gets home, to the time we put him to bed. If he was gonna do something big, I should've known it was gonna be for daddy!

Growing up so fast!!

I can't believe how fast time flies. I had to register Landon for Kindergarten last week. I can't believe that he's old enough to go to school!!!! It's so scary, but at the same time, I'm so excited for him. I know he'll love school. He's been waiting for this to happen for a long time. I think I'll have a harder time than he will.

Adam is almost three and that means potty training is just around the corner for him. I guess it will keep me busy while Landon is at school:) I think he might have a hard time for a while. He is Landon's little shadow and he will probably be sad when it's time for him to be without Landon there, leading the way.

Brett is getting closer to walking. He will stand up on his own, but he hasn't taken any steps yet. He's just taking his time. And that's alright with me, I can barely keep up with him as it is:)
