Kids say the funniest things!

Last night we were hanging out the T.V. was on but we were all in the other room except for Avery, she came in and said "Mom do we live in Utah?" "Yes" I answered next she says "What are oysters?" I am thinking where is this going? I explained to her what they are... then I said "Why?" She said " She said there was this guy just on T.V. and he said Get ready Utah a lot of new oysters are headed this way." I just started to giggle then we told her what he really said was "Get ready Utah there is a lot of new moisture headed this way." I seriously was laughing so hard. My poor bladder. So then a little later she finally said "Mom what is moisture anyway?" She is such a funny kid!

This morning I was driving to my babysitters (who by the way is the best babysitter EVER!!) anyway we are headed to my babysitters and Avery says "Mom can you change your name if you want to?" I am thinking oh great she wants to change her name to some crazy thing...So I hesitantly answer "Yes you can if you really need to but most people don't, Why?" She then said "Well you should change Aidan's name to Jesus." I again try not to giggle to much, I don't want to offend her and so I just played a long and said " Well that is a good name but we will probably just leave his name as it is. Why do you think we should change his name to Jesus?" She then said "Well it is Christmas and he is a baby." Duh, why didn't I think of that first......Seriously she is hilarious.

Ahh the Holidays.....

I have been kind of a Scrooge this year. I don't know why, I just have. Anyway my kids had been begging to put up the Christmas Tree and every time it was mentioned I groaned and would give them some reason we couldn't do it until later. Thank goodness for Ron or I don't know if we would have ever put the tree up. Any way here are some pics from this momentous occasion.
Along with some other holiday fun. Enjoy!



Here is tree right after the kids finished decorating. Please notice that the decorations only made it up as high as they could reach. I usually hover over them and move the decorations around to get our tree perfect but like I said I was feeling Scrooge like and didn't want to decorate the tree in the first place. I think it turned out great and they had a wonderful time decorating.





Aidan of course had no idea what was going on so I crawled over to his favorite spot and chilled there. He has a serious curiosity about heating vents. He crawls all over my house and takes them out. Silly Boy!



Here is the happy boy during all the decorating fun.

Here are Avery and Porter at the Wayman Christmas party. I know lame that we have already done Christmas together but trying to juggle the schedules of 7 families can be a little tricky. Anyway we had a great time and think the kids were thrilled to be opening presents so soon in the Christmas season. Just a side note, Avery and Porter get a long so good together, it is so cute to see them play together.

Most of the grand kids getting ready to open their P.J.s from Grandma and Grandpa.

We also celebrated Garrett Birthday. I seriously cannot believe that he is going to be one this month. I don't know if you can tell but the circle he is sitting in is actually a cut out so you can test the toy in the store. He was so excited he just dived right in. Happy Birthday Garrett!!!!
