Swimming in Macrh!

I guess we have spring fever or something! We just all really wanted to go swimming so we headed off the the South Jordan indoor pool! It is so cute and has a fun slide for the big kids (me and my sister and Jon!)

The kids loved it! I wish we were close to some sort of public place where they could swim or play. EVERYWHERE is a 20 minute drive. I guess I shouldn't complain, it is quiet here! And we do love it!

tea time!

Hanna loves to have these tea parties or she call them "mate" parties because that's the drink we drink together every morning! The kitty decided to join us on this one! good thing it was just water!


Hunter's stellar hair cutting pose! Thank goodness kelsee cuts hair! She had to fix the terrible job I did.

As for Jon and I...we just got back from Arizona! Jon took me along one of his business trips for Valentines day! We left the kiddos at my moms (except Bridger) and enjoyed some time away! I couldn't believe how much I needed it, It was a blast and I did WAY too much shopping! The Arizona Mills outlet mall is the BEST!!!!!!!

We are officially unpacked!!!

Well it's taken us 7 months but I didn't have anywhere to put our stuff so it just sat there in boxes downstairs. Jon has been working on the nights that I teach and we've finally finished our cold storage room. WOOHOO! Our sad excuse for a food storage now has shelves to sit on! Plus all our "CRAP" in jon's words has a home! Now on to Hunter's room!




Jon's nerdy safety glasses. What a goof!!!

Christmas, skating, dancing and fishing!

Here are some fun Christmas pics at my moms house! We had a great Christmas! Jon and I set a $20.00 limit on each other and I just went a little over this year, actually that's very good for me! But Jon on the other hand... went way over. He bought us 2 tickets to a Broadway show in NEW YORK!!!!! He justifies his gift because he used our capital one reward points so I would not find out... hmm. I haven't decided how I feel about this yet! ( pretty excited!)



Hanna had her first dance recital in December! It was hilarious! She actually did pretty good but right after the song was over, all the other girls went off the side behind the curtain like they were supposed to.. except Hanna! She ran to the front of the stage and YELLED, "Mom, Dad, where are you?" oh everyone was laughing, I'll have to see if I can get my sisters video of it! She got it all on video!!! Hahaha!


Sledding gear! Ya gotta get some pics of that!



Jon and I escaped one night after the kids were in bed to go ice skating! I am so out of shape, it kicked my butt. Then there's Jon who should have been a figure skater/ hockey player for a
profession! Don't tell him!! heehee! But really he is way too good to go skating around with me!




My mom came and picked Hunter up the other day to go ice fishing at Utah Lake with her and some of our family friends. They have one of those tents you can put the heaters in and fish right out of! He was in heaven and caught 15 fish!!! He had the best time ever!




Hunter and Brandon! His good buddy!

Open Wide!!!

So sorry about the lack of posts at such an eventful time of year but we had a lot going! Most of all the wonderful, yes so wonderful, event of me getting my tonsils out ;( My advice to anyone thinking of having this done... DON'T DO IT!!!!!
It's been pretty terrible and painful but we had to do it now because jon is home for 2 weeks at the holiday time and I needed him here to take care of me and the kids. Boy he's been a trooper. My cute husband is cleaning the house right now while I post this.. should I feel bad about that? I kind of do. He's been so great though, making all our dinners and playing lots of webkinz and nintendo with the kids! He's probably excited to get back to work!
The biggest struggle has actually been keeping my milk supply up. I have not been wanting to eat at ALL because it's just not worth the agonizing pain and normally I'd say "SWEET" I have no appetitie (that never happens, I love food too much!) but now I have this little guy to feed so personal wants aside I've had to guzzle lots of broth and veggie soup. I am able to endure as long as I stay on my Percacet. That is my best friend right now. But for some reason it is decreasing my milk supply??? We have figured out some little tricks but Bridger is having to be pretty patient with me. Good thing it won't hurt him to have his meals decreased a little. He had enough storage for a while!
So in the mean time; Jamba Juice is stocking my freezer and I'm trying to get a couple more bowls of soup down ( Oh I would kill to have chips and salsa right now, The chili's ones are my weakness)

Hope you all had a great Christmas and NewYear! I look forward to reading all about it!

And we're back!!!

Christmas is here and we are crazy busy trying to make it to every family party, ward party, dance recital, and every other thing that's going on! I love it! But it does make the holidays pass by way too quickly! Most years and I am so stressed I don't get to enjoy it but this year we are doing something different with our kids so I am DONE shopping!!! I have 3 more gifts to buy for cousins and I am finished!!! YAY!

Santa came to visit grandma Holt's condo clubhouse...imagine that! So of course we went at 8:00 am and had breakfast! Here's all the grandkids!

Hunter and grandpa Forman! Love you Grandpa!

Bridger didn't scream but this face was priceless! "mom, what the heck?"

Hanna's like, "Sweet, CANDY!"

Wow 3 kiddos now! This might sound crazy and not that I am saying I want this anytime soon but having Bridger has made it very clear to me that I want more of him! It all depends on the baby and Bridger has his moments but all in all, he makes me the happiest mom. Major paydays when he gives me his smiles!

Hunter put some real thought into his gift he wanted! This time it was a dog....oh Great!

on the way out he asked how Santa could really tell if he's being good ALL the time. I had to think about that answer for a while!

Bridger is my little helper! They both are actually but they are little buddies!

And this is our new kitty Spooky! The best toy for the kids EVER! Poor cat! I think he's been shoved and stuffed in every nook and cranny in our house! including the toy oven upstairs!

TEMPLE SQUARE

The kids favorite part is the Christus. They never want to leave this room.

We went to the Blue Iguana before and got our favorite burrito! It feed both of us for 2 meals...Soooo good!

This is my new screen saver on my phone! Isn't that gorgeous! Pretty good for a camera phone! Sorry some of these pics aren't very good quality, I still haven't gotten a camera :(

Here's all of us - Bridger's in the stroller.

SLEEPOVERS!

Hunter and his best bud Bryson have been having a few sleepovers lately. I can't believe how old our boys are! They love the tent and the popcorn and their new sleeping buddy...Spooky!

Hanna had her little friend Mia over too just to play! They were watching a movie and of course, they needed their girls tent since the boys wouldn't let them step into theirs

Bridger boy!

What a chunk! I can't get over his giggles and how fast it's passing. Today he ate a bowl of bananas and drank water from a sippy cup :( He's so big that his tummy handles it just fine! He won't take formula so this is the next best solution to an extra little bit to fill his tummy before a nap!

No link to society!

Well I am so sorry I haven't posted forever. My camera has decided to die on me and will not turn on. My phone is not working so I cannot call anyone or take pictures on that :( :( :( So in the mean time, I will post about our little goings on!
Well It's really so much better with pictures so I will post more when my camera and phone are working! Haha that was a pointless post!
