A Child's Prayer

Too cute not to write down....

Kylee's Prayer tonight...
"Bless Heavenly Father and Jesus to be healthy,
Bless me to have a good home to live in,
Bless my heart and bones not to be filthy,
Bless me never to drink smoke,
Bless me to never do bad things like a bad guy."

She was also thankful for things( you know the usual things), but these were the things that I thought were too cute not to write down. She is such a great girl. I LOVE YOU KY!!!

Tiny, yet almost 5

First of all, my kids are CRAZY. Second of all, can I just say that Kylee is TEENIE?!!!?? She never ceases to amaze me at the things she can put on. I was incredulous the other week when she was still wearing her little skirt that Barb got her when she was like 2. Her waist, her legs, her arms everything (except for her cute pumpkin head) is so small. So the other day I told her to go get her pj's on. She ran out of the room, when and got pj's on and came back. I looked at her and couldn't figure out where she got these new pajama Capri pants. Then I figured it out....THEY ARE MIA'S PANTS!!! Yep, 9-12 month pants, Kylee had them on, and it wasn't like they were tight either! Did I mention she will be 5 in March? YES! She cracks me up! Jack wanted his "silly" picture taken after he saw Kylee posing silly! So, here is Jack being silly too.

I can't believe it!!!

I guess I can believe it.....MIA IS WALKING!! About a week ago she kinda would walk from me to Joe, and then she got scared and wouldn't really do it. Then on Sunday she kind of thought about it, and yesterday we went to Logan to visit my grandparents there and all of the sudden she was just taking off by herself. She let's go of things and stands there all by herself, and even starts walking by herself. She is almost 11 months old. Kylee started walking when she was like 9 1/2 months old, but Jack was a year when he finally started walking, so Mia is pretty much right in between! She is so fun and cute. So here is some video of her walking a little bit.

More snow fun.

So you would think that we really love the snow for how often we are playing in it. This is at my sister's house. We had so much snow that they were able to build a HUGE slide to sled down and sled the whole way across their yard. It was actually really cool. The kids absolutely had a blast. Thanks for the sledding fun cousins!!!

And The WINNERS are......

Okay, so the day has come to choose a winner for the 2 free haircuts. Well, actually I said I was going to choose tomorrow, but it is basically tomorrow, and pretty much everyone has commented who is going to right? RIGHT! Well, I went to Random.org to choose the winners, and it definitely was random. Here are the numbers it chose.

MEG said: Ok, I would like the free haircut, but I cannot promise to pay it forward. I don't think I have many talents. I would be happy to take someone to lunch, though! Would that count? Just give me the freakin' haircut would ya? I would even pay you to highlight it too! See? Ha ha. Now you better pick me!

And Number 1 was JENI! Yes, it can count for when you come next, you just remind me okay!
Here is what Jeni said: What about when I come visit... can't a redeem it then if I win!! Love ya sis, you're awesome!

Now, here is the rest of my funny story, I decided since I had a very dedicated commenter and I really can't believe she didn't get picked, I want to give one more free haircut away, and I will choose.....I choose.....MARCIE who commented 7 times and deserves a free hair cut, plus I wanted to do someone I didn't know, so there you go. Meg and Jeni, call when you want your haircuts, and Marcie just leave me your e-mail address, and I will get you my number! THANKS Ya'll for participating, now pay it forward!!!

Payin' it Forward

Okay, so my sister-in-law Barbara whom I always talk about is doing this pay it forward thing, where you give (of your own talents)to some random person. So, I thought I would try it out. By the way I think you can still comment on Barbs blog, she makes awesome things for babies and what not. Anyway, I decided to (since I can't really make anything) give away two free haircuts. So, how you play is you leave a comment or two on this entry, (the more comments you leave the more likely you will win) and at the end of 10 days I will randomly choose two people who commented, and they get free haircuts. Capish? (is that even how you spell that?) I know a lot of you are far away, so I am sorry, this only applies to those who can come to my house and get it done here, if you have friends who need haircuts, just send them over and tell them to comment. Sorry Barb, you are out on this one because you already get free haircuts for watching my kids, and also because I was out on yours...just kidding. So, ten days from today, which is Wednesday the 28th I will choose two weeners! By the way this is a wash, cut, and style of your choice. Now, if you want to you can choose to pay if forward after reading my blog, do it, it is AWESOME!!!!!

My 4 year old teenager.

I LOVE KYLEE!! Well, I love all my kids, but Kylee is just such a great little girl. She is getting way to smart for her own good. She said something to me yesterday that made me laugh, and then she said something that I NEVER want to hear her say again as long as I live. (not really, but it made her seem so old) Okay, first she was doing my hair, cause she loves to do hair, and she said after she combed my bangs down...."Oh, Mom, you look HOT!" I totally laughed and was a little caught off guard. Then in the evening she was getting undressed and she had a little shade-type spaghetti strap shirt on under her sweater, and she said...."Mom, do you totally think I look HOT in this shirt" I was like, okay, Hannah Montana is OUT!!! Just kidding, but I couldn't believe it. So we had a little talk about how our bodies are like temples, and that is why we don't "show shoulders" and we want to look beautiful and not HOT! She is such a good girl, I love her, I just hope I can keep her tame for a really long time. Seriously what did I get myself into here?

Sledding

 
Okay, so I said I would get to the Christmas stuff, but I have to do things in a little bit of an order. We went sledding on Christmas Eve with my sister Ana and her boys. It was too much fun! We took the my in-laws truck, which Joe and his brother named Brutus, (the brother to Bernice their old white truck) and tied ropes to the back of the truck, and someone pulled us around a field. The kids were real sports, especially Joseph (Ana's youngest) he was such a trooper. He just kept going and going. Kylee too surprised me, she was quite the good sport. We had lots of fun, and some of us got dumped more than others!! I was a scrooge about the snow, but that was definitely fun!
