Oh the things kids say!!!

Nothing really exciting has gone on around here. I have been a slacker and mostly we just stay home. I will write something funny that Parker said last night. He was supposed to be going to sleep but was stalling. Here is the conversation.

Parker: Dad tell mom to stop talking, her talking is waking me up.

Bryan: Ok I will tell her.

Parker: Yeah because when she talks I wake up.

Bryan: Okay bud I will tell her.

I go in

Parker: Mom stop talking you wake me up

Me: Sorry I will be quiet

Parker: I was sleeping and then I heard a noise and it was you talking really really loud.(I wasn't even loud). So please be quiet.

Me: Okay I will sorry

Parker: It's okay, I love you.

I couldn't stop laughing. (This may only be funny to me but I wanted to write it so I don't forget)

Also last week Parker gave his first talk in primary. We had planned to do families can be together forever and hold a picture of our family. Right before we got up to do his talk he said. Mom I want to talk in the microphone, I said hold on bud you will get a chance in just a second. We get up to the microphone and I am trying to turn to the hymn families can be together forever and all the sudden my little man is singing as loud as can be I am a child of God into the Microphone. It was so cute!!! They grow up way to fast. My little buddy is already a sunbeam!!!

Well enjoy This cute picture of my little Maelie. I really need to get the camera out more. That is my new goal.

My Dancing kids!!!

I was downstairs working in the office with the kids and I hear the Piano playing music and I turn around to see this.

I could watch my kids dance all day. I never get tired of Parker's dance moves. That kid cracks me up!!!

Christmas 2008

I know I am a little behind, but I guess better late than never. We has such a wonderful Christmas. Santa was so good to us this year. Parker got everything on his list!!! Maelie made a haul too. It was so nice so spend our time with family. We spent Christmas Eve with Bryan's family at his grandma's house. We had such a good time eating and visiting with each other. This year Bryan decided to dress up as Uncle Eddy. Everyone had a good laugh!!! It was an evening well spent with good company. Here are a few pictures of Christmas eve.

Bryan as Uncle Eddy (from Christmas Vacation)

Christmas morning we all got ready and then headed down stairs for our own little family Christmas.

Parker was so into it this year. He wanted to open every ones presents. It a good thing his little sister was more than happy to let him help!!! The first present we open at our house each year is a gift to remind us of the Savior. This year we all got books on his birth. It has been fun teaching Parker about the true meaning of Christmas. In fact when he woke up Christmas morning he said "It's Jesus Birthday". It is nice to know that he is getting the concept of the true meaning of Christmas. Here are a few pictures of our Christmas morning.

After We opened presents at our house we headed to Bryan's Grandma's For a delicious breakfast. After that we headed to Bryan's Parents to open presents. They spoil us all. Parker got a BYU cougar jersey, a remote control car, play dough and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa. Books for Sara and Chad and a kitchen from Squirt (Elisha). He loved all the gifts and has a blast with the kitchen. We Make something in his Kitchen everyday.Maelie got toys and clothes from Grandma and and Grandpa and a cute outfit from squirt and Grandma Joyce gave Parker a cute moose shirt and Maelie a cute outfit!! Thanks to our family for making this such a great Christmas. Here are a few pictures of Bryan's family.

We then headed to my Parents house for the rest of Christmas day!!! We didn't do the traditional Turkey ham dinner this year. We decided we wanted to have Sukiyaki !!! This is a family favorite. My dad served his mission in Japan and this is stuff he ate. It is soooo good!!! We then opened presents and talked and talked. It was a lot of fun. I love being with family. Here are a few from my parents house.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we hope this new year is filled with lot of happiness!!!!
