Catch-Up Part 2

I'm so behind on Blogging. It just isn't that fun anymore. But I'll put a few pictures up to prove we are still alive over here.

For Christmas me and Dustin made the boys a castle for their action figures. After blood, sweat, paint and more blood, we got it finished and couldn't wait for the boys' reaction. It so fun to see them open it up. Dreyton doesn't show alot of emotion...ever. But when he saw this he was so excited he almost started hyper ventilation! He couldn't stop yelling "OH MY GOSH!! THIS IS AWESOME!" It was worth every minute that we stayed up till 2 am making it! It is hard to tell, but it has a fire pole, a dungeon with a jail and lots of chains, a trap door, a treasure box, and some little boxes to hold all the guns and equiptment that comes with action figures.

Right after church we all jumped back into our pj's and headed outside to try out the new Christmas presents.

Even Mitzy had a good Christmas. Santa left her a HUGE candycane shaped bone. The boys thought Santa was awsome for that one!
First thing Ky did was sit on a bow. It stuck to his butt the rest of the day. I thought it was too cute and funny to take it off of him.

Drey and J reading a funny book made by Grandma and Grandpa Larsen. It was a fight that night to see who got to read (for the 5th time that day)it in bed.

I LOVE this age!! Jace was thrilled about every thing he got. Especially hotwheels cars!!

It was quite a fight with with Dustin...but Santa won out and brought Ky a kitchen set. He loves it! Look at the smile! How could you NOT give it to him.

Our Christmas presents from Dustins parents! My FIRST Delta sweatshirt. The boys all love their Delta stuff! Being from Delta you would think I would have at least one Delta shirt, but nope. I have to admit, I love mine!

More presents from Rowleys. The boys were given bags with their names sewn on it. They thought it was so awesome that they could both fit inside of thier bags.

Ky broke his arm over Thanksgiving break. It was actually on me and Dustins 13th anniversary. It was sooo sad! After he got in the car after getting it on, I think I cried more than he did. I felt so bad for the little guy. The boys wanted ti sign it the second they saw the cast, but me being anal wouldn't let them. I didn't want it to look gross and dirty for 4 weeks. So, I made them hold off till the last week.

Even with a cast on, Ky loves wrestling with Dustin. He learned how to use it as a weapon and would smack people in the face with it. He brought both the boys to tears with it.

Playing Catch-up Part 1

Celebrating Zachs birthday with his amazing Lego cake that Melanie made. You should have seen the details on this thing! Every Lego dude was doing something different and had little tools in his hands.

The Rowleys Fam and the Christmas party.

Feeling lucky to be married to the WINNER of the Ugly Sweater Contest!!

The yearly shot of the boys with Santa.

Thanksgiving with the Rowleys. I don't know about you, but I think these three look like trouble!

The tribute Jaces teacher made for Veterens Day in her classroom. I love that she let each child wear her husbands army clothes for the picture. It was the highlight of Jaces week.

We celebrated the end of the football season at Pizza Hut feeding the team. We had an AWESOME team this season! It was so fun to watch. It is surprising how intense a flag football game can get! These kids are just as crazy as this picture looks!

My cute little monkey, and some pumpkins.

I dont' really love this time of year, only because it means that snow is coming, but I do love getting pumpkins with the boys. It is so fun to watch them pick their pumkins and then have them help me pick mine. The hay ride is fun, the family time is fun...everything is just fun.

I love the weather we had this year as we went to the pumpking patch. Usually we are bundled up in coats and gloves, this year it was shorts. My kind of weather! Love it!

Kyson LOVES sitting on dads shoulders. He plays the drums on his head and giggles the whole time.
Me and the boys waiting for a horse ride.

Look at my cute little monkey. He is such a sweetie! (most of the time)

He hated the hate, but still smiled through it.

The boys...

It's been a busy, BUSY summer. Football...football...football! We threw in some birthdays, a baptism, school, young men stuff, primary stuff, and life...but most of all, it has been football.

Here is Jace, giving it his all. He is so awesome! He may not be the tallest or the fastest kid on the team (he is the youngest), but he NEVER gives up and tries his hardest every single game. He never gets intimidated by the other kids and is so happy to do everything he is asked to do! He is so fun to watch!
Here is Dreyton, my little scout. He has been so excited to go to scouts. Everything is a competition to him, so he is trying to hard to earn as much badges as he can, as fast as he can.

Dust coaches both Dreyton team and Jaces team. One of the parents gave both him and the other coach some purple socks. Dustin and Nick think they bring the team good luck so they can't play a game without wearing them (even though I tease him that it looks like he is wearing tights). They have so much fun coaching together.

A boy and his dog...

Kyson LOVES our dog! He could sit outside all day with her! Ky loves to feed her bones, throw toys for her to fetch and pat her on her head. It is so cute to watch them.

Dreytons Baptism/Birthday---And way too many pictures.

Dreyton was so excited, he had his birthday and baptism day both on the same day. He was excited but nervous but he did great! I'm so proud of him! It was such a great day. We had a small, but really nice, family get-together afterwards. The weather was perfect and the cousins were all able to play on the bonzai while the adults sat and relaxed. Three generations. What a great picture.

My little family after the baptism.

The amazing cake that Melanie made. It was awesome! Thanks for all the hard work Mel. I appreciate it tons!

Time for FOOD!
