Happy New Year! Welcome 2014



Very first pictures taken of me and my man in 2014. We stayed up the whole time this year. Normally we just give in and go to bed but this year we stayed up. Oh ya we are so cool! haha Anyways, we stayed up and right before going to be I was feeling sick to my stomach. I thought maybe I just needed to go to bed but it just kept getting worse. So to start off 2014 I was throwing up! WAHOO!! haha Ended up getting some stomach bug and threw up that night amongst other fun things that happen when you have a stomach bug. The next day I was super weak and still felt gross. So instead of going to a little celebratory party that a family in our ward was throwing in our neighborhood I was laying on the couch and sleeping all day while Brandon took care of the kids. What a fun way to start the New Year. We also had the missionaries coming over for dinner that night and luckily I was feeling much better by the time they came over. Still feeling gross but not as bad. Then that night Ethan got sick (Oh JOY). Then we had a break from the sickness until Saturday night when Brandon got it! Luckily Wyatt never got it. He was still fighting off a bad cold so I am glad he never caught what we had! Anyways, that was our beginning to the New Year! I wonder what is in store for us for the rest of the year! Hopefully not much more barfing! haha The rest of January went great!

Snow Day!




Loving the snow!




What a good helper!





Wyatt wanted to help too! :-)


So cold!! haha







Soon after the New Year it decided to get cold and snow. We got a good amount of snow and Brandon was really excited to go out and shovel our driveway! So I got the boys all dressed up in their coats and boots and we went outside to help daddy and let the boys play around in the snow a little bit. Wyatt had a lot more fun than Ethan did. Ethan was just cold and not having much fun. Wyatt could care less about the cold, he LOVED playing in the snow. It was fun to watch them play in the snow!

Ethan also started Primary!



He was a little nervous I think, but also a little confused at  what was going on! haha He did so good that first Sunday in primary! It was weird walking past the nursery room without dropping him off. I can't believe I have a kid in primary now! Where did the time go!?
He sure is a handsome little primary boy! :-)

So cute in his "I am a child of God" crown that he got in primary!
We had to leave early from church though since Daddy was home sick and watching Wyatt. So he didnt get to go to his class which made the next Sunday hard for him because he didnt know that they did fun things in class. He just thought that all they did was sit in primary and sing songs he doesnt know how to sing and not really do anything. So the next Sunday I had to sit in primary with him for a little while. There were 4 other moms in primary that next week with their new sunbeams too though. haha It sure is a hard transition. Going from nursery where they play and have snack and play some more. To primary where they have to sit reverent for an hour and then go and have a lesson where they do have some fun and some snack but it is nothing like nursery! Oh well, its all part of growing up! He is doing much better though! It just takes time to get used to it! :-)

When the weather got a little warmer and the snow was ready to be played with, we went outside and played a little bit and built a snowman! :-)





not the best pictures, but I took them on my phone and the boys were not all that excited to be taking pictures. They would rather be out in the snow. haha



They had fun helping me build the snowman! Ethan helped pack some snow onto our snowman to help round him out. Then we went and found rocks for the eyes and I got a carrot out and Ethan helped dig out a whole for his nose. Then we got a piece of licorise for his mouth. Although then the boys wanted to eat licorise. Oh well they had fun! Wyatt kept falling over and not being able to get back up because of how puffy his clothes were! haha So much fun with my boys! :-)

Family Home Evening!



 For FHE one week we talked about missionaries and showed the boys Daddy's mission pictures! They liked looking at all the pictures. Then after we played a game before bed time!




Good ol connect 4. Ethan calls it the money game. Wyatt of coarse wanted to play with Ethan and Daddy, so Daddy let him help! He did a pretty good job at putting the discs into the holes. Ethan never plays it correctly. He just wants to race and get all of his red ones in before we get the black ones in! haha

Good Ol Chick-Fil-A
Me and the boys went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner one night while Brandon went to a dinner meeting. So we figured why not go and eat some food I don't have to cook and let the kids play. Then for dessert ice cream!! Yum!!









Wyatt was wanting to be a big boy and climbed up with Ethan and played with him and went down the slide! He sure does love to follow his big brother around! :-) Luckily they were the only kids in the play place. Which made it a lot easier for them to go play and I didnt have to worry about Wyatt getting pushed around. 


What a handsome boy! :-)


Wyatt's beat up face after falling a few times in the play place!

Ethan loving on the ice cream before we left!

Playing at the play place at the mall.





We were going to go play at the park but it turned out to be too cold. So we went to the mall and let the kids play for a couple of hours. They had so much fun!!

Date Night!
So Brandon and I do not get on dates very often. When we do we end up just going out for dinner and then going home. So this time we decided to go out to dinner and then go do something fun. So we went out to a barbeque place called Nordy's (actually really good) and then we went ice skating! It was so much fun!

Brandon being a goof ball!


It has been so long since we have been ice skating I was tempted to use the little kid helper walker things. haha I eventually got the hang of it though and it was a ton of fun. It seems like it has been forever since we have gone and done something active and fun together as a couple! What a fun date night!!

Park days!





Any chance we get we go to the park by our house. It is not the best park, but it is a park none the less. If it is farely nice outside we head on over to the park. One of the days we decided to go have a picnic at the park. It was fun. Daddy even got to join us for a little bit before going back to work. There is a basketball court right by the park and if there is a ball over there Wyatt could care less about the park. He wants to get the ball! haha He is a silly kid!

My mom got Ethan a buzz lightyear mickey hat from Disney Land and I think Wyatt uses it more than Ethan! haha


What a cute Mickey Buzz Lightyear I have! :-) It is a little too big for him but super cute! When it falls off of him he comes over and leans his head in so that I can put it back on! haha 

My buzz lightyear and Spiderman! :-) Man I am so lucky to have these 2 super hero boys! :-) 

Family Fun Day!





So since Brandon has had Friday's off it is always nice to go do something fun as a family every once in a while. This time we decided to go do a few things. First we went to Chick-Fil-A and then we went bowling. The boys had a blast bowling. I had put up rolls of paper towels in our basement and we would do our own bowling which was fun. However, we mentioned going real bowling and Ethan would not let go of it! haha It sure is a little more stressful when the kids are so young to go bowling, but still fun! 

Zoo time!

The day after going bowling we decided to go to the Denver Zoo. One of Brandon's class mates was in Denver with her Husband so we figured we would go say hi. So we went to the zoo and then met up with them for lunch. 

Walking in the snow even though I told him not to! Oh well there is only so much I can do! 


Looking at the sea lions! 


We went to the Elephant show this time and Ethan liked it. Wyatt got a little nervous! haha 


Wyatts "cheese" face during lunch. 


Ethan and our friend 

Then after meeting up with our friends in Denver we went to a mall in Boulder to check out some stores that were there and to just see Boulder since we had never been there. Then afterwards we got a text from our friends inviting us to dinner at Cafe Rio. So we figured why not and hit dinner with them and then TCBY for dessert after. We we got home we were beat! haha What a long day!! 



Yummy yummy frozen yogurt!! 

Ethan hiding in the toy box! haha 


Me and Wyatt after hanging out while Ethan was at joy school! He looks like such a thug in the second picture! haha 


Then of coarse bath time. The boys sure do like their baths. They have been playing so well together lately too. What cute boys I have! :-)
