Funny Story of the Week: Matt has been driving to Hatch for the new apartment complex up there and today he called and told me to get out my checkbook because he had gotten a speeding ticket. I laughed and told him he could pay it himself and that it wasn't part of my "household" budget! Then Mayson wanted to talk to him. Matt pretended he was the police officer and she got scared that he was going to jail. He kept going on and on and she kept telling me that we needed to go and get Daddy out of jail and that I had to pay.

We got off the phone and for 20 minutes she went on and on about daddy in jail. She said she needed to go get her piggy bank so we could go and get him. We finally called him back and made him convince him that he was fine. She had been talking about the police all day! Thanks Matt! To back track a little, a few months ago she figured out how to loosen her carseat and we would be driving along and all of a sudden she could almost get out. We had a long talk about police officers that come and take little girls away if they don't wear their carseats correctly, since then all Mayson does when we drive is look for the police and she has become very anal about her seatbelt being super tight so they won't get her. I have created a fear of the police that I hope will last until she graduates from high school!!

We also played dress up and rode our new truck to the park. I wasn't sure how far it would go but it made it there and back which is about 1/2 a mile. Mayson was Snow White of course and Hunter wore his purple tutu for awhile until he changed into his construction gear. Here are some pictures of that:

Welcome!

Hi everyone!

I decided to start this blog to help everyone keep up the Mayson and Hunter. My goal is to update it weekly with their adventures, funny stories, and pictures. Right now they are napping so I have the time to start.

We just got back from Alpine where we had a great time snowmobiling, sledding, and building a snowman. Hunter looked like the little boy from the Christmas Story and when he fell he was so puffy he couldn't get up. The first day I had him in two layers of clothes plus a snowsuit, jacket, scarf, hat, and gloves. He sure was warm but could not move! Mayson had a blast as well and bossed everyone around and picked who would drive her in the snowmobile. Most of the time it was Daddy or Poppy. I drove Hunter around and he sat so still I thought he fell asleep. He was exhausted from walking in the snow and after our adventures outside(for maybe an hour) Hunter would nap for 3 hours.

We got home on Sunday and after being gone almost every weekend in December we were happy to be home. This week is being spent reorganizing and cleaning out closets and getting our donation to Goodwill ready. The kids go back to preschool on Thursday so by next week we should be back in our routine.

Hunter is talking away with his favorite words being "NO" and "Mine". He is understanding everything just not talking too much. I guess he won't be the chatterbox his older sister is. His next checkup is in February and I think he will be close to 30 lbs. He seems to getting taller too!

Here are some pictures.
