Three Boys and a MOMMY: January 2010

I need to catch up! First, Christmas was great. We spent the day at the Kimber's and started the day before helping Kathy with breakfast casseroles, every year Kathy makes 6 or 7 breakfast (yummy) casseroles and invited everyone in the family to come over and eat Christmas Day, she does a lot of work, and it is a wonderful tradition. So Christmas Day started with presents for Kaden, he was so spoiled. He got a REAL FISH in a fish bowl and we put it in his room and HE LOVES his fish, he named him “baseball”. HA. Best 83 cents I have ever spent to see the look on his face! He also got a little powered four wheeler, coloring books, flash cards, more toys, puzzles, and a baseball glove just his size! At the Kimber’s we were so blessed, I received a cotton candy machine (AWESOME), clothes, stocking full of goodies and a basket full of presents! Together Tom and I got a night at a Marriot Hotel for anytime we need it, also movie tickets, my parents gave us money, maternity clothes for me, and a BEAUTIFUL wall hanging of Tom and I.. will post pictures later.. but beautiful mom! Kaden got clothes, bog boy underwear and toys, sleeping bag from my mom and dad, and Toms parents got him a big boy bed with sheets and a mattress, even a little pillow. Tom also gave me a really NICE camera and a gift spa package for a facial, massage pedicure and mud bath… 2 or 3 hours worth of pure heaven. I got Tom a few games. J I definitely made out on this year’s Christmas. It was GREAT! Then we went to Page onto surprise my mom and dad as we heard the news that Dad is first councilor in the bishop-rick. It was awesome and we enjoy every minute with mom and dad.. and it was fun to see Connie and Shane and their girlies. Time flew by again, and before I knew it my trip to see Connie arrived, I purchased 2 tickets for Kaden and I to go fly down to Vegas and spend time with my sister for a whole week… I forgot our car seat among many other necessities but the trip was great! I got to sleep in.. and Connie took great care of me. She made great food and pot roast! J We did a lot of things, went to a kids museum (the coolest thing I have ever seen for kids) and shopped some, Connie loves shopping with me! And we made a gingerbread house, the kids played while I enjoyed Emma… love that baby, she is so happy all the time! It was so great to be with my sister, and go to the Phantom of the Opera (BEST SHOW EVER) and get out of the snow! Loved the Vegas weather… it was just awesome! Ok I am about all caught up now.. lots of pictures below!
