Christmas 2009

We are so blessed with great friends and family who are so willing to give and help us during the Christmas season. We are so thankful for Christ and the great example He is to us in our lives. I hope and pray that we will try to become more like Him every day. I love My family and Aaron's family dearly, and miss everyone so much. So grateful that Jed and Nicole and the kids, and Brian and Trey were able to come up and spend some time with their brothers and the kids with their cousins! Thank goodness for hunting to bring the brothers together every once in a while!!! Whether good or bad things come out of it, it is memories to be made! haha:) Anyone who wants to come visit is always welcome!
On Saturday after Christmas the kids and I headed to Grandma & Grandpa Spainhowers!! To go to my moms family christmas party. It was so good to see relatives that I havn't seen for at least TEN YEARS, how time flies.


We took the kids out sledding and riding snow machines Parker fell asleep on the way out and baby Jett seemed happy to be out of the house too!!! Miss all of them already!

UPDATE AT A GLANCE!

I would love to be able to put the last nine months of life on here but that would take way to long! I will post some of our highlights though. I just want to take the time to say how thankful I am for this season. I am so thankful for family and friends and the miracles that we receive each day. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to go to school and a sister-in-law so willing to watch my babies for me. It wouldn't be possible without her. I am enjoying school, like always there is good days and bad days! So far I haven't failed any tests that is good! I haven't ruined anybodies hair that is even better! Our children are growing and amazing us every day. Julia turned 9 and Kaige turned 6 in September. Jessica and I both got drawn for deer and antelope and we both filled our tags. Yes her deer is quite larger than mine! She worked hard for it, following her father around hiking for a week she deserved it!!! Tessa turned 11 on the 13th of December!
Jessica, Tessa, Julia and Kaige played soccer this summer and we spent a lot of time at the lake and camping!

Happy Birthday Brocko!

What can I say about Brock? He is the funniest usually happiest kid ever. He can make me laugh no matter what. You can almost count on if he opens his mouth he is going to say something funny. He is (one) of the highlights of my life.
He loves:
Scary movies
Talking
Getting rides with Dad on anything fast
Playing with his little sister and big brother
Tormenting all of his siblings
Anything sweet
Pirates (he calls them captains)
Fishing
Hunting
Playing Cowboys
Wrestling his dad
Holding his pee till the very last minute!!!!
Watching westerns
MY LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
Thanks to our friends and family for another special birthday! We love you!

Another snow mobile day

So we had the opportunity to go ride snow machines again ('cause we never lack any snow). we took our friends Jessica and Eddie with us, it was a lot of fum. Ed took his snowboard and Aaron would take him to the top of a hill and he would board down, beats paying for a lift ticket! Of course I left my camera at the truck so, no pictures. We Stayed and built a fire and had tin foil dinners!! The best ever. I know we have said that Reidhead's can sleep anywhere, anytime, anyhow! Here is more proof. Julia crashed while waiting for her food it. it was a long day day, but wow what a place to sleep! We also got to experience a few sobee bombs. The Reidhead brothers did this when they were up here working last winter and shared their experiment with us!!! ENJOY!!!

OOPS!!!

SOOO, I was just going to give the boys a haircut! My friend (who went to school) told me to just use the clippers on the boys it would be easier and faster than using scissors like I always do. So today I tried it. Well I didn't ask her what # guard to use and so Kaige ended up pretty much bald and so I moved up one size for Brock (still too short). At least on his I learned a little and just did a little spot first, then I moved to an even bigger guard!! His is actually a bit longer it is just so blond you can't tell.
So anyways the ironic part of it all is that Kaige has been wanting his hair cut like his dads but Aaron keeps saying "no," "maybe in the summer," "I don't think your head is round enough," "If I had as much hair as you I wouldn't shave mine," (you get the point). So I totally did not mean to do it, but it's a little late now!! Can't wait till Aaron sees it!! Keep me in your prayers!

Kayla?

Yes, Kayla did this. Sometimes she disappears by herself and does some interesting things. This day I walked into my bathroom and obviously she had been very busy. She loves lining things up, whatever it is. I thought this was pretty interesting!! Notice she did bring the cars in, in her doll stroller, at least it gets used for something!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kayla

I am a little slow on posting so here it goes catch up time!!
Our little princess Kayla had her 3rd Birthday on the third of March they were calling it the square root day 3/3/09 and it was her third pretty cool I thought!
Kayla is so much fun in our family we are so glad that we were blessed with another little girl even though she came a little sooner than we had anticipated another child. She definitely has the attitude of the last child - spoiled rotten. Aaron insist she needs to be kicked out of our bed and she insist she is not going anywhere!! No matter if she starts in her bed (or on the floor with the boys) it doesn't take long before she wiggles her way in right between Aaron and I. I LOVE IT!
Aaron got her some make-up for her birthday I was totally against it, I have to clean up the messes! The picture of her with make-up on is the lovely job her daddy did. She had a great party thanks to all of our adopted family up here, it wouldn't be the same if we didn't have a house full of people for a birthday party. Another fun tradition the kids love is they get to get on family fun website and pick out what cake they want (usually), this fits her perfect she loves to eat like a litle piggy and makes the cutest pig noises. We also had to do her party a couple days early because I had to do the Relief Society Birthday party on her birthday and we couldn't do the day after because Aaron and Jessica have to go to Mutual. Yes Aaron got another calling as the second counselor in the Y.M. presidency. Anyways here are the birthday pictures.
