Spring Break

This year for spring break we didn't do much! Due to all the problems the boarders are having we choose not to go to Mexico. I was bumbed! So we took a few days and went to Roosevelt looking for warmer weather. While we were there we played a ton of card, drank way to much jones soda, road 4 wheeler, skipped rocks in the creek and went down to the lake. It was still cold and a little windy so we never made it out on the lake. Conner was watching Devin skip rocks and tried to do it too, poor little guy fell in and soaked the front of himself! After a change of clothes and a sweater he was all smiles again!

MR. WOOD

So Devin has decided that he thinks it would be fun to be a teacher! This boy has so much ambition. He is always starting or learning something new! I am so thankful that most of his little hobbies and ideas make money! Devin has starting teaching CPR and really enjoys it most of the time! He loves all the people that he gets to meet and the things that he learns from them. Especially the elderly people he thinks there the greatest! He always comes home and tells me all the stories and things they have told him. Here are some pictures from one of his classes

Stitch Him UP!

Oh Conner! Boys are such a mess! The other night about 9 pm I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed. Devin was on Skype talking to his grandparents who are on a mission. Conner of course was bouncing back and forth between what I was doing and what daddy was doing. All of a sudden I hear a ear piercing scream. I finishing brushing my teeth and think to myself... what did he get into now! As I came out of my bedroom I am greeted by blood all over the hall way tile. Needless to say Conner needed stitches! He had fallen from one chair into the leg of another chair and cut is little forehead open. Thank Heaven for great Doctors! Dr. Brady stitched him up in his living room that night. Conner screamed through the whole thing but once we let him up he was fine. He was more concerned about the band aid and strings that he now had on his face! The hardest part was trying to keep him from picking at them!

A quick trip

For Valentines this year Devin suprised me with an early quick trip to Utah. He got me out of Sharing time and working for my mom! Which was nice! (Thanks Sandi! I owe you:)) We stayed with Amber and Glenn and they watched Conner while we went to Salt Lake. We did a session in the Salt Lake Temple, which is beautiful! Then ate lunch at the JS Building. My lunch was so good, Devin's not so much! But the coconut shrimp was amazing! We also took Conner to the Draper Temple open house! All these Temples are so big compared to the Snowflake! Amber and Glenn both got sick so we left early and stayed in Moab, which turned out to be a good thing since we hit storms most of the way home. Thanks Amber and Glenn we sure hope you guys are filling better! And Thanks Devin for planning this last minute get away! for what ever reason this is the only picture I have of the whole weekend! Yes is was COLD!!!!

Its all About Conner

Conner is always into or up to something! He is growing and learning so fast! Some days it's hard to find the energy just to stay up with him. One of his favorite things to do is get up on any counter and dance! They told Devin last week in nursery that they have to hide anything he can climb on, because he always ends up on the counters! Oh man what are we going to do with him? This is pictures of Devin bandaging him up after he crawled up on my make up vanity and burned his leg on the straightener!

Trust me it didn't slow him down a bit;-)

A few weeks ago when we were in Utah Amber gave us all a hair cut! She did such a good job with Conner, I can't believe that he sat so still for her. I guess The Cars Movie will fix anything. Thanks Amber!

So content!

Last but not least here are two pictures of Conner in Utah! 8 hours is a long drive for an 19 month old but books, candy and movies sure help pass the time!

Its about time!

OK time for another LONG over due update! Here are picture of Christmas and everything in between. This self portrait of Devin is him leaving to the Rose Bowl game(I think that's what game it was?) he wouldn't take the camera so this is the only picture I have! Hope all is well with everyone, I sure have been enjoying your updates!

I had a great idea to go snow tubing one Saturday. Sheridan and her kids came, Kenz and Dakota, Rayna, Aaron and their kids, Devin, Conner and I. The day started out late but we finally got on our way. We were not really sure were Sky High Retreat was. So Devin turned down this other road and the truck got so stuck. We spent half the day getting it unstuck. Finally we left and took the kids sledding and left Devin waiting for his dad to come and pull us out! All Devin could say is, "it sucks getting pulled out by a ford!" At least his dad got a kick out of it! All in all it was an adventure! Thanks everybody for coming we need to plan another one!

Um I don't think this is going to work!?! At least he's still smiling:)

This is Devin looking for some way to get us unstuck!

For New Years we hung out with the Owen's and Tenney's. The girls all enjoyed playing games while the boys watched tv and talked! HAPPY NEW YEAR

Tenney Family, Chandler stayed awake till midnight!

A NEW YEARS KISS

Christmas this year found us all happy and well. We hope everyone else had a great Christmas too. It was so fun on Christmas morning when Conner woke up. I had the video camera trying to stay in front of him but he just barrelled to the front room. Once he say the tree and his presents he just stopped and stared and finally said wooooo! It was the best Christmas yet!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

First off we would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We are so luck to have such amazing family and friends. We hope all of you have safe and happy holiday season!

You can never see Santa to many times right? Well we had Santa, aka Grandpa/Papa/Howie/My dad! come up to our house for all the grand kids. It was so much fun, My dad was the perfect Santa he had all of us laughing so hard. Thanks dad your the best! He are some picture of this special occasion.

This is my nephew Terron. He is the oldest grand kid so he got to go first, he is holding a boot thanks to Santa. Santa explained that times are hard right know and that our Country is in a recession. He also told Terron to hold on to hope and that hopefully next year Santa would bring him the other boot.:)

This is Maci, She loves Santa and was so excited to tell him all her Christmas Wish List.

Here are the two boys both thought Santa was Cool, but they still weren't to sure of the guy in the big red suit.

Deighton however was not having anything to do with Santa, until Santa pulled from his magic sack a special treat for him. That calmed him down just long enough to get his goodies and get the heck off his lap!

Conner sat with Santa but wouldn't look at any one! He is at that age were if he can't see you, you can't see him! Wish that worked when you got older! haha

All the grand kids, minus Eilee!

Thanks Dad we all had fun!

the BIG red FIRE truck

It's starting to look like Christmas... I bundled Conner up in ever pair of long johns he owns and put him in his wind pants! Haha he reminded my of the kid off the Christmas Story, He didn't really care for the snow yet, I think the crunch under his feet threw him off, but it was fun watching him walk around with the look of "what the heck" on his face!

The other day I helped Rayna and Aaron out and watched Aadon ALL DAY! Besides getting peed on, a few little fights and a couple of time outs the boys had a lot of fun together. I even went to the store with them and the both did really good. Afterwards we went to the Fire Dept to see Devin and show Aadon, "the BIG red fire trucks" as he so bluntly put it all day:) He was in Heaven at first seeing so many truck together. Dev let the boys crawl all over the trucks, put on the helmet and head phone. Then Conner pushed the buttons to turn the sirens on and Aadon was not impressed. He yelled at Conner and said, "Conner, no touching the noise, NO NOISE Conner"! Aadon wouldn't get back in the trucks till Devin assured him they would not go off again. When we left I asked Aadon if he had fun and he told me he did, but "he no like the noise and lights that Conner did"! HAHA they are so fun at this age.
