Disney on Ice

Went to Disney on Ice with my sister and her kids and my other sister and her husband. It was way fun! I love it! Something about singing away to your favorite Disney songs as they do amazing tricks on the ice is just awesome!!

October recap

OK so because i am such a slacker i am going to do a quick recap of October.... Mikel and i went to Vegas with my entire family to go to the BYU football game at UNLV. It was such a blast!!! Then also that month Brittany and i took the kids to Gardener Village to see the witches there. We also went to their ward Halloween party, and a couple trunk or treat events. As well as donated food and supported Mikel and his haunted house NIGHTMARE on 84th street. Their Haunted house raised over 1100 Lbs of food for he UTAH food bank!!!!!!! It was amazing. They also donated over 70 blankets to the homeless shelter. We also carved some amazing pumpkins this month (Britt, Ryan, Me and the kids) And I had a Halloween party at school just before i went off track... Which sadly ends here soon.... SO that was a brief super duper quick wrap up of October, look at the pics for more info =) OH and the flowers in the pics are from Mikel, it has been 6 months since our first date, and he is just cute like that and brought me flowers!

Happier post! Full of fun!!

This week was the Salt Lake County Fair. I got to go twice. The first time was with my sister and her kids and Mikel and Kristen and her kids. We just walked around, and went to the petting zoo and the kids rode a pony. It was awesome!

The second time was with Kristen and Eric and Mikel and Kristen's daughter. We went to the demolition derby. It was so much fun! And we got out picture holding a Walaroo! How cute!

There are also some other pictures of the mountains. We were eating around the fire and a deer was right across the creek! It was beautiful! I love love love being outdoors especially in the mountains!!

I am so grateful to have fun things like this to do to help me relax and not worry so much! It also helps to be surrounded by such amazing people that i love!!!

Disney's Christmas Carol Train Tour

Ok, so like i said my dad wanted to go see the Disney Christmas Carol Train tour when it was in Ogden on Tuesday. So it was him, Mikel and the kids and Me. We waited in line to go through the train, and then watched the 3d presentation. It was pretty awesome. In the train they had a face morphing part where you could take your picture and it would make you a character of the movie. So i thought i would post the funny pictures of me gunnar and my dad and mikel. It is silly. But fun!

Aunt to Babysitter of 3? Definitely not ready to be an instant mom!!!

My sister and brother in law are in Canada, and i am watching their 3 kids. I am officially sitting down for the first time today. I have changed diapers more than i can count, a great majority of them poopy might i add. We started with the baby up bright at early ready to eat of course, after a long night last night with my dad and Mikel and the kids. We went up to Ogden to see the Disney Christmas Carol train. We got home super late!!! So slowly one by one they woke up and crawled into bed with me. We then watched cartoons, while i changed diapers, got them dressed for the day, and tried to convince myself to get dressed! We then played, read stories, took naps, went outside, ate, played, ate played, cried a little, now I have given them all baths, read bedtime stories and hopefully gotten them to sleep except the little guy.

I feel like it has been non stop. Not really hard stuff, just always something to do. Someone needs something, diaper, food, toys, snacks, loves, attention. One after another. I think i understand why you are supposed to have kids one at a time! It wore me out! I give props to moms everywhere, and i know some of you are single moms! Yikes I know for sure i couldn't do this alone forever! I need a partner in crime for sure. BUT it was super fun, and I love love love these guys! And my sister deserved it! Just thought i would share with you my appreciation for people who do this all the time! I am glad you are strong enough, brave enough, and have enough energy to keep up! You are amazing to have kids!

These are just a couple of funny pics after nap time Ade went to go check on Xander and i went up to make sure everything was ok and she had climed into his bed!! Then Gunnar decided to join them. It was super cute! OH and my favorite part of the day was giving the baby a bath! He giggled the whole time it was so freaking cute!!!

Happy Mothers Day!

I am not a mom, but as a teacher, sister, aunt, friend and daughter, I can only imagine how incredibly crazy, stressful, hard, fun and rewarding it must be! I know that there are millions of people looking out and working hard for their kids! Thanks for always being there! You really are the greatest! Happy Mothers Day!
