Firestation fieldtrip

We got to go on a preschool fieldtrip, along with a lot of our ward :) It was fun for the kids and a good learning experience for them. After the tour we went to the park, but I don't have any pics because my camera battery died. These are a few of the adventures from the fire station.


The fire chief spoke to the kids about fire alarms, and not to play with matches or lighters. Do any of them know what those are? :)

They got to climb up by the ladder, which was a first for being there, um, like 5 times :) Pretty cool!


Hanging out by the old fashioned hose..how times have changed. Is Amy looking at my son lovingly? :) haha She's probably thinking, "what is this kid doing in here with me!"

Ready for potty training?

The other day Hannah grabs the changing pad and lays down on it, should I take that as a clue, or what? :) Interesting choice for a toy, huh?

I wanna cool rider!

It's official! Kylan can now ride a bike without training wheels! We are so excited! Now he can spend hours outside riding around the cul-de-sac. He decided that he wanted them off, so saturday we did it and he took off! I only had to hold on to the back of the seat and he rode it the first try! It was such a proud moment :)

Look at him go!

He's pretty proud of himself :)

Whoa Baby!

My baby is 18 months now! I can't believe how fast that went :)



Some of Hannah's favorite things are:

her green blanket

her binky, luckily it's gone now

she loves music, any kind

she loves to dance....shake what your mama gave ya!

she likes pretty much any food, but loves fruit cups

she loves fishy kisses

looking at books

talking on any pretend phone....she really thinks she's saying something important :)

she actually likes having pretties in her hair, even brings them to me if they fall out :)

She is a very good girl and we have loved getting to know her cute personality. She has been such a great addition to the family. We look forward to when she is talking, I'm sure she will have a lot to say!

Girls just wanna have fun!

We had a play date the other day and this was too cute to pass up!

The girls kept checking each other out in their hats.


Now both got in on showing off.


OH! I like that hat on you, it looks good!

Blasted binkies!

Don't let the picture fool you. We are not happy campers at this house right now. Sunday afternoon we said "bye, bye" to the binky. It's a new year and we are starting off right. Hannah will turn 18 months this week and it's time that the binky is gone. It should be easy, right? Wrong! She is so hooked on that thing, it's really sad. Nap time is crazy, and bed time is even worse! So we are trying to deal and get through this tough time. Her crying is going to push me over the edge and I hope that I don't cave and give her back the binky :) Wish me luck!

Out with the old, in with the new....

We splurged this Christmas and got us the much needed couches. We had our old ones for 8 years and they were 7 years old when we got them. They went to a good home and now we have new ones to enjoy. They are dark brown leather and it's nice because the cushions don't come off and I won't have to search for toys in them! Woohoo!! We love them and it's like a whole new room!
