Jumping!!

Ever since Polly introduced Leyton to jumping on the bed he is obsessed. He doesn't really have the whole jumping thing down yet....but someday his feet will actually leave the ground.

Christmas is it really over allready!

Leyton on his favorite present!!


I can't believe that Christmas is already over it seems like it just began. Time flies doesn't it? This year we went up to Washington for a few days to visit all of Kyle's family. All the kids put on a nativity scene, we had a nice dinner, then Santa dropped by and we opened presents. We of course forgot to bring a camera so if I get some pictures sent to me I'll have to post them. Leyton was so cute I didn't think that he would want to be up with all the kids while they were doing the nativity (last time we were around all of them he wouldn't leave my side he was so terrified. There are 22 of us when we all get together so its a little loud and overwhelming.) But there was a little stage that he thought was the funnest thing to climb on while the nativity was going on. He would climb up on stage and wave to me...it was so cute!

We came home on Christmas Eve to a snowy.. ..snowy drive form the airport. Luckly its a short drive. With no food in the house we thought be better grab something for dinner on the way home...ok so I've never really tried to eat out on Christmas Eve before....nothing is open not even wal-mart. So we found the only thing close to home that was open (good old Dave Thomas) and ended up eating Wendys on Christmas Eve. Better planning next year:)

I got a new camera this year! Yeah my old one took so long to take the next picture. You could never get a good shot and I couldn't get very close up. So these are a few shots of Leyton in the tub with my new camera....I love it! But I'm sure it will take me a while to learn how to really use it.

Happy Holidays!

Bounce!!

Today Paige & I took Leyton & Polly to this place in Sandy. They love to bounce!! Leyton is so funny though he really doesn't know how to jump yet, so he flaps his arms like he is trying to fly away. Polly can actually jump its cute. There were all these big slides they could go down and ones for little kids only that they could jump on. Since I had to help Leyton climb to the top I got to slide down as well. I actually thought it was pretty fun! and a great workout! I think I'll have to go back sometime.
I also became employed today :) Just a little job at the condos cleaning and such. Its a job though and will help pay for all the times I eat out. That is one thing that I really enjoy is eating out. Not fast food! I love to be waited on :) So if any one ever needs company for lunch let me know. Oh and while I got myself a job I think I accidentally nominated myself to be on our HOA Board. I wasn't planning on that opps! Not really my thing but I suppose I'll try it out.

Christmas Tag!!

I don't usually don't do these but I thought this one was fun for the Holidays!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I am like Paige and only like wrapping paper when the gift is a perfect shaped box that is easy to wrap...so odd shapes need to be in bags!

2. Tree- Real or Artificial? I like the fake ones because you can get a perfect looking tree. Sometimes real ones can be odd shaped and there harder to hang ornaments & lights on.

3. When do you put up your tree? Dec 1st!

4. When do you take down your tree? January 2nd or so!

5. Like Eggnog? No way its so grouse. Kyle loves it and always trys to get me to drink it.

6. Do you have a Nativity Scene? Not yet the one I want is a little expensive.

7. Favorite gift received as a child? I remember one year my mom ordered these newborn babies and they looked real, but they didn't come until after Christmas. Well worth it we loved them.

8. Hardest person to buy for? Now that I'm older I think Parents are the hardest. In-laws especially.

9. Easiest person to buy for? Defiantly Leyton :)

10. Worst Christmas gift recieved? Humm..thats a hard one I'll have to come back.

11. Mail or email Christmas cards? I like good old fashioned mail.

12. Favorite Christmas movie? Christmas Vacation so funny & kyle knows it by heart is a must see every year.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? December I'm trying to get better but it seems like it just sneeks up on you.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas Gift? I don't think so..wedding yes, but not Christmas.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Crowds! Everywhere...you can't avoid them.

16 months!

Wow I can't believe that my little boy is getting so big! He turns 16 months in about a week but sometimes already acts like he is in his terrible "2's". He throws fits now when he is in trouble. He will throw himself on the ground and bang his head...its pretty funny! Kyle and I just laugh at him. If your holding him and you put him down and he doesn't want down then he runs off crying. But he does a lot of cute things now too. He loves to kiss (especially Polly:) He will even make the sound mum ma!! Hugs his stuffed animals and pats there back while saying ohh. I think he picked this up from Polly. He blows kisses its really cute. He can say mama, dadda, baby, and no (while shaking his head). He can do the sign for more, milk and dadda. Were working on please & thank you. He is still a very picky eater and doesn't like to snack very often. I think the eating has a little to do with the fact that he has allergic reactions to some foods. Were not really sure yet what he is allergic to. Last weekend we went to the new Cheesecake Factory and Leyton actually tried a bite of my pizza (normally he won't even try things) any ways after about a minute he started coughing and threw up! Then broke out in little hives on his face so no more pizza. It just seems like it is flying by.
