Our fun day

Today we went down to Lehi with my friend Jill and her kids to a indoor swimming pool. The kids had so much fun. They swam, went down the slides and went in the whirl pool. Kaiden would even go under the water which was a shocker. When we left he cried and didn't want to go until I told him we were going to Aunt Mindys and then he was happy.
We had lunch at Mindy's then went outside and let the kids play. Mindy has a ton of little kids in her neighborhood so Kaiden thought he was in heaven. He rode bikes with all the kids and played on the play ground at the park. We had a fun day and now he's taking a nap. I think he is a little wore out. I am so lucky that Mike works so hard so I can be a stay at home mom. Some days it's a little tough but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Guess who loves Coco Puffs!!

Our Little Denise the Menise

Day One- We were getting ready to go to Bear Lake and my dad had backed up his truck to the garage so we could load stuff in the back. Kaiden wanted to get into the drivers side and drive so I let him in and unlocked the doors so he wouldn't lock himself in.(And of course the truck was not running) So anyway my dad was in the bed of the truck tying stuff down and I was in my car taking out Kaidens car seat and all the sudden I look up and there goes the truck rolling down the drive way and I yell "Dad" and he's yelling "Oh shit". My dad jumped out of the back and ran to open the driver door as so did I and Kaiden had locked the doors. So my dad was trying to stop the truck holding on to the side mirror while I ran around to the other side and jumped in the back were the door had been left open. My dad had got the truck stopped in the middle of the circle before I got to the driver side. Kaiden is just smiling and saying "Drive". I don't know how he pulled the lever into neutral. Our vehicles won't let you pull the lever unless they are on. I think my dad and I just about had a heart attack. Thank goodness no one or object was in front of the truck. Oh and I think I learned a lesson to.

Same Day- So we get up to Bear Lake and I'm sitting by the fire place and I said "Mom what is Kaiden doing?" And she looked over and he had got out the coffee pot and coffee and dumped the coffee into the pot and missed half of it and it was all over the floor. My mom said Kaiden what are you doing and he said Make Coffee. I don't know about making coffee, but he sure did make a big mess!!

Day Two- We got home from Bear Lake and Mike was in our room talking to his dad with Kaiden in the room. All of the sudden I hear once again "Oh Shit" and a boom. I go running in our room and Kaiden had pulled out the bottom of our nightstand and decided to stand in it and it tipped over. Luckily the bottom drawer caught and stopped it from falling all the way on him. The bad thing was the picture frames that were on my dresser fell and hit him in the head and there was broken glass in his hair and all over the floor. He didn't have a scratch on him thank goodness. All he kept saying was fall.

Today- So today I'm in the kitchen cleaning and he likes to climb on the couch and up on our counter. That is exactly what he did and I said Kaiden get down your going to fall. I went around the counter to get him and I'm sure you guessed it, he fell. He cried for awhile but amazingly after all he's done, he doesn't have a scratch to show for it. We are very thankful for that.
I am hoping tomorrow and forever (yeah right) nothing else will happen. It's been a rough couple of days. I keep hoping these things will pass soon and that Oh Shit won't be in his vocabulary since we seem to use it a lot lately.

Valentines

This year we celebrated Valentines Day at my grandparents house the week before. They made us their famous Spaghetti and meatballs. It was great. Then all the cousins got to pass out their valentines. Kaiden had a blast eating all the candy. My grandparents are so funny because they love Christmas and hate to take down the lights. So as you can tell in the picture they change the lights to red and white for Valentines. It's fun for all the kids to see their house on the holidays. I'm sure for St. Patrick's day they will change them to green and white.
Then on Valentines Day we spent the day up at Bear Lake. My mom made us heart shaped waffles, hash browns and bacon. She also had the table decorated so cute. We rode the four wheelers in the snow and pulled the kids on the sleds. They had so much fun. Later that night, us girls fixed the guys crab legs, potatoes, Cesar salad and cheese biscuits for dinner. It was a huge meal. Then after that we dropped the kids Valentines off at the door. It was so fun to see them so excited.

Childrens Museum

These are just a few pictures I took on Monday at the Children's Museum. The kids had a blast.

Contest Winner!

Yep, that would be me! Finally after 6 years of trying I finally won a contest on Good Things Utah. I was watching Thursday morning and they said you could win dinner, makeover, massage and see the sneak preview of Shopaholic with Marti Skold from channel 4. So I got on the computer and entered to win and on Friday they emailed me and said I was a winner!! I got to take one person so I took Mindy. We had so much fun. They gave us a bag with free gifts, dinner, makeovers, updo's, popcorn, drinks and the movie. Channel 2 was there and walked up to Mindy and I and asked if they could do a live interview with us, and of course I didn't want to be on TV and Mindy was like sure!! That's the difference between us. She is so funny. She loved every minute of it. Then of course she told them she was there with me so then they turned the camera toward me. I could of killed her. She always knows how to get me! I guess that is what sister are for. So while the guys watched the Super Bowl and the kids, us girls got pampered. It doesn't get better than that.
