Tis The Season

I seriously love the Christmas season. My tree has been up since before Thanksgiving, and I sit in front of it every night while reading. We have been going out most nights and looking at Christmas lights, and I think Keyton gets bored before I do. We went to the light parade downtown and that is also another of my favorite things to do. Here is a pic of our whole crew. Trevor neglected to tell me he was taking the picture so my back it turned, but it's cute of everyone else. It was my family, my sister's family, Trevor's sister's family, and my friend Misty's family. Of course Keyton had a blast because his best friends Kudter and Kache were there and his cousins. Who could ask for more trouble? Keyton is very excited about Christmas too, and he is asking Santa for a Better Batter Baseball. He's had his heart set on it for months, but I'm not sure he's been a good enough boy to deserve it. He better do some serious kissing up in the next couple days!
I had to post this picture of Keyton because it's times like these I tell Trevor, "he is your son, not mine. I could never be that wierd." He came running into the kitchen wearing this ensamble and it was all I could do not to pee my pants laughing. Who's kid is this?? Pretty sure he came from the zoo!

We are loving the snow we are getting and Keyton has had to go out and play in it every day. I love to bundle him up to the point where he can't even walk, he just waddles. It makes me laugh. He takes our dog Sevy out with him and could play for hours. I think he is immune to feeling cold, cause he won't come in even when his nose and fingers are bright red.

I hope everyone who is reading, is having as great a Christmas season as we are. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Trying to catch up

I haven't blogged in forever and have really been missing it. We have had a crazy couple of weeks. This year we decided to have Thanksgiving at our house. We had all of Trevor's family and my parents and Grandma Gloria. So, 13 adults and 7 kids later we had a house beaming with life! I was so nervous to cook a turkey, but I actually did it, and it didn't taste too bad either. I love Thanksgiving, mostly because I love good food and family to go with it. It was a good day. The day after Thanksgiving, we took Keyton to the Christmas light parade in old town and it was really fun. He loves any excuse to get to see a fire truck. The next night we were going to go to the BUY-ISU basketball game but Trevor started to get a fever. Of course, he got the stomach flu and threw up that night. Yuck. As we started getting him to feel better and thinking me and Keyton had avoided it, you know what happens... I got the stomach flu too. I had forgotten how bad that sucks! And house and home falls apart when mom is sick. We are still trying to recover!!! Hope you all had a happy Turkey Day!

Hanging with the Family

This last weekend we had our annual Christmas card making day. All the girls get together and make Christmas cards while eating delicious food. Always a great time! While we are doing that, the men go out and shoot clay pigeons. Since Keyton is almost 3, of course he thinks he is as big as all the other boys. He was mad I wouldn't let him go up and shoot. (men just don't watch kids as close as us women) So, I promised him I would take him up for a little while. He had to take his new gun that Grandpa had bought him. It was so cute, they lined him up and made him say "pull" to shoot the pigeon, then someone else would shoot it and Keyton thought it was him that shot it. He thought it was great, and that is all he has been playing since we got home. I love his imagination.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We had a fun Halloween this year. Keyton was the cutest little motorcycle rider I have ever seen. He got many compliments on his costume, so thanks Sari and Harlee for letting us borrow it. We went trick or treating down in old town and then to a trunk or treat. That gave us more than enough candy. Keyton liked his costume too but he knows already that next year he wants to be a Transformer. Knowing him, he won't change his mind. Hope everyone else had a Happy Halloween!

A Night Out

If you can't tell from my playlist, I love this new artist I found Missy Higgins (and no I don't like her cause we have the same last name) Well I found out that she was coming to Pocatello and I was soooo excited. Trevor got tickets for me and my friend Misty and we went last night while he watched our 3 boys. Oh my gosh, we had the best time. It was at this hole in the wall place, but it was so much fun!!! I love her, but she is even better live. I was so bummed though because I had forgotten my camera. This was one of my and Misty's favorite ones that she performed. SO, now maybe I can change my blog playlist right? Thank You Trevor for letting me have the best night out!

Go BIU (BYU)

We had a really fun weekend! We have been wanting to go to a BYU football game all year and Trevor's Aunt gave us the opportunity. So we invited my parents, and made a weekend of it. Keyton was so excited the night before and kept saying, "We going to a BIU football game!". On Friday, we went down to Salt Lake and went to Gardener's village, which is any woman's dream come true. Trevor and Grandpa had to occupy Keyton while my mom and I shopped. Then, we went to Cabellas. Wow, that store is Keyton's heaven. We spent 3 hours there checking everything out. Keyton loved it and I think everyone else did also. That night we went and met Trevor's Aunt Sherri and Susie for dinner. It was good to get to see them again. I just love them. Saturday, we got to go to the game. It was an exciting game as you know if you watched it. Keyton loved getting to meet Cosmo and he kept yelling "Go BIU" through the game. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was BYU. Anyway, we had a great time there so thanks Susie and Sherri. We love you guys.

Friends in High Places

We have been having a ton of fun the last couple days. On Wednesday, Sari called and said her friends Nic and Melissa were out on the tractor harvesting potatoes and that if we wanted to bring the kids out, they could ride on the tractor with Nic. Keyton knows all about "John Deere" tractors, so this was a dream come true for him. He thought it was great to be able to drive and honk the horn and fill up the potato haulers. They had already filled up 2 trucks, and another one was supposed to be coming. Sari figured they had ridden long enough and went to get them out. Keyton told her, "No, I'm waiting for the next truck." So, he had to ride a little longer. After we finally convinced him out of the tractor, he clenched his fists really tight and said, "That was the coolest fing I've ever seen!"
Then on Thursday, we came to Bear Lake since Trevor is at drill all weekend. It was conveniently the homecoming parade, so Keyton got to live another dream. Riding in the fire truck! Grandpa and him drove it in the parade and it was so cute. He was saying "Go Bear Lake"on the intercom. He also got to spend time with his new cousin, Brakken. He loves him even though he can't quite understand why he won't play with him. I just have to say, it's nice to have friends and family that get to do all these cool things. It makes it easy for Keyton to get to live his dreams. I love watching his face light up when he gets to do things like this!
