don't forget to cut out the light!

I caught Kodee doing this:


and remembered this:


Time sure does fly.

Katie Beth is 5 yeasr old!

On Katie Beth's birthday I woke up to her racing down the hallway, she wanted to see if she was faster now that she is 5! Katie Beth is a crazy girl. She is 5 going on 15, she is smart, she is a friend, she is beautiful, she is silly, she is special, she is funny. She loves to play Barbies, she loves to do preschool, she loves to play with her brother and sister, and she loves to go to church. Everytime she gets dressed she asks me, "mom, do you like my style?". We love our little 5 year old.

Santa came and made a mess...

This kids were so excited for Christmas this year, ok we were all excited. I love Christmas. We had a good one.

Christmas Eve Jams

Katie Beth loves her kitty Kiki, and I am pretty sure Kiki loves her back.

Kingergarten Christmas Program

Not the best photo, but look how much taller Kai is compared to all the other kids...he's huge!  The videos aren't that great either, I was having camera issues. 

Pioneer Christmas

Dad, you know we don't do pioneer...hahaha. 



My kids look forward to this every year, a big box from Grandma and Grandpa Daughtry.  It is always full of goodies, and they don't have to wait for Christmas to open it.  They look for it everyday starting December 1st.  Thanks for loving my babies mom and dad!!  JL...you are still not off the hook.  I am still waiting by the mailbox everyday at 2pm with baited breath.  Rude!



Oh, and excuse the "dress", or lack of.  I was still pretty sick at this point. 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone again.  We got a 19 pound turkey, and ate way too much food.  Yes, my kids were still in their pajamas, ok so were we.  We were just grateful to have a day off work, and I was grateful to have a day to rest before Black Friday.  I guess "rest" maybe isn't the right word, I didn't nap, or even bother going to bed the night of Thanksgiving.  Maybe relax, or chill, would be more fitting.  A 12 hour shift of craziness when you are severly sick is no bueno.  My awesome boss let me leave a little early, so I survived. 

18 months

Kodee is 18 months old!  Woah.  Time has flown by!  She is starting to be a little mean, my sweet Kodee is lost.  She finally had a growth spurt and doesn't look like a midget (or little person, whatever)  as much anymore.  She started nursery, and just had her first successful "stay by myself, with out crying, just screaming mom's name at the door, as long as the poor dude teacher holds me for 2 hours" day.  I got to go to Sunday school and Relief Society, that was one of the few times since we have been married. 

Oh and look at this ridiculousness.

8am

Candy for breakfast anyone?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The kids were so excited for Halloween this year. Kailer was Luigi, Katie Beth was Princess Peach, and Kodee was a Cupcake Fairy. Who doesn't love buckets full of candy and dressing up like freaks? Nothing better if you ask me.
