"Dark Fart"

So funny...
Zhoee and Bart were on our bed wrestling around last night while I was doing laundry. Under the covers Zhoee stands over Bart and announces, " I'm Dark Fart and I'll stink all night long." Like that will give her the advantage over her competitors. So... That's it, I guess if Zhoee could choose a super power it would be powerful farts.
Bart and I laughed about that one.

Paradise

We have been having such an amazing time. I dont like to spend too much time on the computer when there is so much to do on vacation. so here a just a few pics.

Prayer

Jadon said the prayer at dinner last night, after blessing the food and other things he ended with this:

"Please bless Mom and Dad when they go to Mazatlan and bless us when we go to Elko to play with our cousins which is Way way more fun than going to Mazatlan....Amen"



They really feel this way, all of them, they are so excited for us to leave so they can go play!!!

Laughing

When my kids make me laugh I like to post it so it's here and I scrapbook it to always remember the silly things they say:

Last night-
Jadon is selling pizza kits for a fundraiser for his school. I told him he could call both his grandmas as see if they wanted to buy a kit.

Jadon: "I just really wish they weren't pizza kits. I wish they were ice cream kits."

Me: (laughing) "what?"

Jadon: "Well, then I could sell tons of kits to Grandpa."

Right after we walked in the house this afternoon from picking up Zhoee from preschool-

Zhoee was making this weird high pitch whistling-singing-humming sound.

Zhoee: "Mom, I'm just so horney."

Mom: "You're so what,??? HORNEY?" (with a very stunned look on my face)

Zhoee: "well, yea, horney. Can't you hear what I'm doing, I sound just like a horn."

Our Fourwheeler Fanatic

We had a fun New Year's Eve!!! Barts parents came to visit for a few days and the kids were so excited to have them here to play!!! We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and then home to celebrate the new year! I wasn't surprised at all that they had brought all the essentials: hats, party noise makers, silly string, and, the favorite, fireworks!!!

Richard and Dana

With their "favorite" son????
Bostyn and Tate! What partiers!

Seriously?

Zhoee went to sleep really early Sat. night, therefore, she was wide awake when Bart woke up early for a meeting. I, on the other hand, was looking forward to a little more sleep before getting up to get myself and the kiddos ready for church.

Me: fast asleep.
Zhoee: "Mom, MOM, MOM, WAKE UP, mom, mom, MOM, REALLY WAKE UP!!!!"
Me: "I"m awake, Zho, what's wrong"
Zhoee: I just had to tell you that you don't need to wake up and feed me breakfast; Dad already fed me in the kitchen.

Christmas Morning!!!

Bostyn got a lot of trucks, trailers, and four-wheelers. He loved them all. He loves his tent and new sleeping bag and the flashlight was his favorite. He wishes it weren't so cold outside so he could play with his new bat and ball.
Jadon's favorites were his automatic nerf gun, his video games, namely Lego Indiana Jones, Star Wars Legos, and remote control helecopter.

Zhoee loved her new doll house but didn't quite know what it was at first. She loved her new white puppy, dress up clothes, scripture tote, cute pink boots,and tons of princess stuff and books.

I had a wonderful day full of relaxing and sleeping. Bart and the kids on the other hand... They played, played, played!!! I scored these jammies for the kids on Black Friday for 3$ each, they fit well and were so soft. Not bad for 3$ pajamas.

Gingerbread houses

Some friends of ours had us over to make gingerbread houses for Family Home Evening. We had such a fun time. All the gingerbread was homemade and tasted wonderful! Our kids prefered the candy though. This picture was taken the next morning. Notice the boys have NO candy left on their houses and Zhoee's is still there.

Confirmed!

I haven't really dared get anything ready for a baby quite yet.. Not until I heard one more time it was a girl. Today was the day.... For sure a GIRL! We will be in Mexico in 4 weeks so I have to wait for 5 weeks until the big 3D ultrasound. I got the OK to fly, relax on the beach, and hot tub!!! YEA!!! Just no scuba diving or para sailing for me! I'll watch Bart.

When it snows

They love to play in the snow.
Our sweetheart.

This boy is so stinkin cute!

I was getting the wipes and a diaper to change Bossy and he knew it too.... I turned to find him and it was silent and after looking for a second this is where I found him....Hiding from the dreaded diaper change.

It's finished!

Last night we finished the doll house! I can say "we" right cuz I did help with a layer of paint!

The Carpenter!!!

Bart has been working on Zhoee's doll house at night!!! After the kids go to bed he sneaks out into the garage and works until the wee hours of the morning. I go out and check on him and he admits he's having fun making this house. He's gotten very extravagant and this house is HUGE!! It's 5 ft. x 5ft. with 7 rooms and 3 stories. I've admitted to him that I'm very jealous and I'll be playing with it every bit as much as Zhoee will be. It's ready for painting now, I just need to go out in the cold garage and get another picture! It'll have to be another point. maybe tomorrow.

Thanksgiving

How sad that these are the only pictures we have... all the rest were videos! Bostyn is happy to have Grandpa Tucker play ball with him (his favorite thing to do). The three two-year olds were great helpers, cleaning off the tables to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner.

Another stop at the Salt Flats

We are always ready for a stop to stretch and use the bathrooms at the Salt Flats on our way to Elko. Here are some pics of the kids and Dex while were were running around.

Princesses on Ice

This was a while ago but it hadn't quite made it to the blog and we had such a fun trip sooo... here are the pics of Zhoee and I at Princesses on Ice. We rode Front Runner down to SLC which was nice because it was so cold, snowy, and icy and I didn't want to drive. The show was very fun and I just enjoyed watching Zhoee, who was glued to every skater, every scene, and just loving the whole experience. We ate dinner together afterwards and then tried not to fall asleep on the train ride home. We had a fun GIRLS TRIP!

The Doctor was wrong

RighT WhEN I wAS gEttIng UseD tO ThE idEa oF hAvIng AnoThEr BOy....

Well, I went in to my Dr. Apt. this morning and they have a new policy that no children can come because of the swine flu spreading so Bart stayed with Bossy watching a movie in the suburban. He joked about it saying that the only appointment he doesn't go to and the Dr. will surprise us and say it's a girl or something. Well....

During the ultrasound he looked a little perplexed and it took awhile to get the modest little thing to show us something but after SHE moved and gave us something to see the Dr. looked for awhile and said, "I think I was wrong last time." After looking for a few more seconds he said yep, THis is definitly a GIRL. HOLY COW! I couldn't believe it! Bart thought I was joking the first couple times I told him. Then when I started calling my sisters and my mom I think he finally knew I was serious. I called my sister and told her to haul all the girl clothes back up to Utah next time she comes! YEA, we're very excited. Barts getting used to the fact he won't have 3 boys, which he was pretty excited about. But, he's excited and I'm thrilled, Zhoee was happy to hear she'll get a sister after all.

New Moon

I loved it! I really want to go again tonight. Unlike reading the book, where I cheered for Edward, I wanted Bella to want Jacob. He was so so good looking!!!!!!!! I loved him in the movie!
It was very fun to have a girls night! We started early and ate at Teppanyaki. So yummy and very fun to watch! and I caught the shrimp in my mouth the first try!!!! (impresive, I know)Then we did a little Christmas shopping and then off the the theater!

I woke up to Bart and Jadon whispering that Bart would take Jadon to school and to stay quite so Zhoee and Bossy would stay asleep so mom could sleep longer. Bart went in a little late to the office so I wouldn't have to wake up and take J to school. So nice of him, and I don't know how he kept Zhoee and Boss asleep. It was nice to sleep in! Thanks hon! :)

Sand Dunes Trip

Bart and Jadon left Thursday night for a little "boys trip" to the sand dunes. It sounds like they did a ton of riding, ate lots of treats, watched some fun movies, and had to snuggle up at night to stay warm. They made it home Sat. just in time for Jadon's basketball practice. Oh, that boy is sure growing up.
