Sledding on Derek's birthday!

My dad decided to hop on halfway down the hill with Kait so he didn't have to walk it. It was such a long hill! We were all cracking up when we saw him hitching a ride.

My mom and dad decided to ride down together. When you get going you fly too. Joel decided to give them a good shove and my mom was chewing him out. I was laughing so hard watching them. I hope Layne and I are still sledding together at 50!

This was seriously one of the funnest days I have had! We decided last minute to go up to Todd and Tara's house. I can say I'm totally jelous of their place. Their driveway was SO long! We would drive up to the top and sled down to the bottom. We went with Layne's side and some of my family came too! I didn't think we would stay way long but we ended up staying 5hrs! I seriously loved it! I'm wishing it would snow again so we can head up there again. It was Derek's birthday and I was wanting to do something fun for it. He went down a couple times with us and I think he liked it. Mylee loved it. She loved riding on the 4wheeler with her grandma Harris and on the rhino with grandpa Harris too. I can't believe how many kids and people were there. I think the adults had more fun then the kids. I went down everytime there was an open sled! I felt like a kid again. We all got alittle hungry and in courtesy of grandpa Oyler and Harris we ate little ceasars pizza off the back of the trucks. We had 2 trucks hawling everyone up the hill. Bert had his snowmobil and a sled on the back that the kids loved to do. It was a blast! Other then Heather driving the truck down and getting kinda stuck and Bryce flying off the path into a tree on his snowboard, there weren't any accidents! I almost peed my pants though the first time I went with my mom. I was on another sled to the side of her and I was laughing my head off! You get going pretty fast and she wiped out 3 times. It was so fun! At the end the boys decided to race. Of course there has to be some competition involved. They were flying! I think Scott won almost everytime though. If you were in their way, you got mowed down! That was by far the funnest winter thing we have done! Can't wait to go back up!

Carson

This is my funniest nephew Carson! He cracks us up. He is such a performer and loves to entertain. This was some of the entertainment during new years!

I'm sitting here updating our blog and I hear this little squeaky voice say "mom I need to push out a turd." Yes we have tought our daughter it is called a turd cause she gets poop and pee mixed up. Well she thinks they are the same thing. My mom about died laughing the first time she said that to her!

happy new year! 2010

Derek's birthday cupcakes! I thought they turned out fun.

Karson is the funniest kid ever! The Jex's came over for a bit and he decided to sing michael jackson and jonny cash for them. Brady paid him a dollar and somehow he kept getting more and more. He thought it was pretty cool. We were laughing so hard at him! Quite the entertainer!

Happy New Years! We had such a fun and relaxing new years. Shel and Joel hosted us, even though Joel was in bed at 9! It was so fun though. He didn't get much sleep cause everyone kept going in there waking him up thinking it was funny. It kinda was too. We headed over there and played the wii all night and over ate on lots of good food! I want to make every year super fun for Derek cause he was born at 12:33 so I made him some cupcakes and we sang to him. It was cute, when it hit midnight the neighbors started fireworks and everyone was yelling happy new year and all the cousins starting saying happy birthday Derek. It was cute. We just hung out with my side and a couple cousins. We missed grandpa and grandma though this year! It was a fun new years!

camping in december

So I had been promising my sisters kids they could sleep over forever now and I owe her bad cause she is always taking mine overnight when we go places. I didn't really have much planned but it all fell into place when they came. Mylee follows the 2 older ones everywhere so I wasn't too worried. We decided to pull out my smore maker and make smores then Layne decided to pitch my tent he gave me for christmas! Yes he gave me a tent and that is a huge deal in our house! He is not a true camping type and I have begged him for 9yrs now! I finally got one! Anyways, our night was fun. They played dressups all night and got a sugar high from all the smores! It was so fun and I want to do another one soon!

you'll shoot your eye out

we decided that we were pretty bored and wanted to go shooting. joel and layne were going to go with my brothers but it didn't work out so they took us instead. i love to go shoot with layne. we have so much fun. it was pretty cold though. derek fell asleep on the way up so that was perfect and mylee adores shelleys girls so they sat in their car and played beauty shop the whole time. it was so fun to go and do something different. our men kept watching to make sure we were watching them from the car. shel and i were laughing. joel was teaching his two little girls how to shoot a bb gun. they loved it. mal didn't get back in the car hardly at all. i love being with layne. i'm glad he'll take me to go and do things like that and we just let the kids entertain each other in the cars. after there was a train when we were on our way home so layne ran up to joel's car and got us some hot chocolate. it was delicious! so fun!
