Sledding

We went sledding today! The kids had fun but the saucers did not work on the hill so they had to share the sled. I called all over Utah county looking for a sled and I finally found one at Costco. So we will have to try the hill again. If Shayla is up for another round.

Carter and Chase

Carter wiped out with Shayla and they ended up tumbling down the hill together and it just happened that Shayla's head was the one that ended up in the snow on every roll. Carter would land on his back with Shayla in his arms and poor Shayla with Carter on top of her. It was pretty funny:) I didn't think she was hurt that bad just the usual bloody nose but the marks is where she told me it was hurting.

Wii

We got a family gift this year the Wii. I think that Matt likes it a little to much!!! The man is up past 1:00 every morning playing Wii fit or football. I think Chase is winning.

Christmas pic's

Santa put some make up in Shayla's sock and needless to say it looked plastic. I opened it for her handed it to her and then turned around to find out it was not plastic..... and yes that is a double bloody nose not makeup up the nose.

The kids and the gifts!

Merry Christmas

This Year Santa gave us a family gift....The Wii and the Wii fit. We are all a little sore from breaking it in. The kids love it and Matt would not let me take any pic's of him doing the hula-hoop. I will post pic's later. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and remembered the Savior this time of year.

Where is that PRESENT??????

I spent 2 hours this morning looking for a present that I knew I bought. I now have a clean closet, cupboard in the kitchen and one of the pantry's. I also found the little neighbors gloves that he lost the other day. I thought they were outside in the snow but nope they were on the side of my car which I have not drove since it snowed ,he's mom will be happy and I can quit looking in the snow:) I finally found the present and one more that was hid next to it that I thought I bought but was not sure if I put it back or not. The joys of getting old!!! Take my toll I want to see if I am the only one that does this or not. I just happen to do it every year!

Carter Christmas Party

Carter Christmas Party. We had dinner then we played some clothing game. Everyone brought one item of clothing and then you pass the sack around who ever it lands on you take something out and put it on.

The boys had a blast with this game!

Then the famous white elephants. Grandma Carter got a Nursing night gown....I am glad my family can joke about things (sometimes)!Britt's Maxi pad slippers.
Then the famous PJ's from Great Grandma and Grandpa so they can all run around in them and they can see how happy the grand kids are with the gifts that they gave! I like to watch Grandma Carter's face when they all come running back in with the PJ's on, she smiles from ear to ear!

Happy Birthday Matt!!

My favorite B-day ever!!! My mom ordered a singing telegram. It was suppose to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. This showed up instead. Me and Matt had just started dating like 4 months. This lady dressed like a hooker sang love songs to him he did not want to be rude so sweating bullets he looked and listened to ALL of her songs in front of the whole bowling alley. Ha the good old days.

Shayla's Program

So I need to find the cable to my Camcorder so I can post the singing. The little boy in the middle is Dylan and the first boy is the Dino (Jacob). I took a little boy home from school because his parents were stuck in SLC in the snow. Shayla turned to the girl in the pic and told her " Huh your boy friend is going home with ME". The look on her face..... I had to explain that he lived by us and I was just giving him a ride home. I am not sure about her or how I am going to conrol her in her TEENS!

Snow, Snow and more Snow!

I do not mind the winters (when the snow is not on the roads). I am having a really had time so far this year with the snow. Carter does not want to go to school when there is snow. He does not want to get his feet wet!
The day after thanksgiving I bought boots for shayla and asked carter if he would like a pair his answer was "no, I am not playing in the snow and I am not going to school" I knew right then that we could not even try on boots, he would of have a complete breakdown. The kid is almost as tall as me and I can not force him to do anything anymore (in public).
Well, this morning of course it is snowing. We had to get his snow boots because he did not want his feet wet (I hope they fir from last year). I think he thought it was his Christmas party today and what kind of mother would I be if I told him different? He willing went to school. He was a little late because of the boots, coat, hat and gloves they all have to be just right and then you are to hot and they all come off before you can get the other child dressed!!! This is going to be a VERY VERY long winter!! Oh yeah I also have to drive the truck because of the snow (which I don't mind) and I have a little back seat driver telling me I am going to fast. It is pretty sad when a mini van is riding on your butt in the middle of a snow storm and we are going to fast .Oh well, what ever gives him less stress right now. Let the mini van slide right into me or under me as long as Carter is not having a panic attack I am ok with that.

Autism

Carter had his Appointment today for the Autism Dr. Well guess what they think he has Aspergers which is High functioning Autism. Some of the things fit Carter that did not fit with the ADD. I just want to know what is wrong with him and have someone help me with it. A child can not grow up not playing or communicating with children his age and sitting all by himself at recess. He loved this place and the people were very nice. I just think that every one is out to give their answers and take the money to have a job....

This place is 24,000.00 a year and is not covered by insurance. I know my son has social issues but 24,000.00 worth? I do not have $2000.00 a month to pay this or 150.00 an hour! Does anyone know of a place that tests for this and treats that is less then this?

and back of the train. Sorry Melissa you still made it in the Pic.

The train first took us to the North pole where we seen Santa. Santa delivered a very special Christmas message about the savior. Then we loaded a different train and went the the life of the savior from the Shepard's all the way to the Resurrection with music "Mary did you know" playing on the train. It was a very spiritual and nice for my children to see the other side of Christmas in such a peaceful fun manner.

Carter Update

Carter has been doing this wired thing with his eyes. He can not stop blinking and squinting. I picked him up from school yesterday and he was doing it really bad. Then the thought hit me out of the blue.....TICS! The side effect of his stupid pill is tics. I had him run back into the school to get his reflections thing and I called the doctor. I told him what he has been doing and yep it is tics. The doctors response was more meds to cure the tics. I said NO...No more meds I hate giving my children any kind of meds and that's all this doctor wants to do! This is a list of what Carter is suppose to be taking...

ADD

Depression

Sleeping

Appetite

and now a tic med

This is way to much for a 7 year old to be taking. I have called my family doctor to get a second opinion about Carter! I do not have him on all of these pills just the ADD one. I am tired of this and just want him to be normal to fit in and to have friends that are not mean.

Christmas Season!!!!

What I hate the most about Christmas is the people that stand outside the stores RINGING the NEVER ending bells!!!! I wish they would just put the bucket out and I am sure they would get more donations. I really hate going in and out of the stores that have the bell ringers. I would rather drive another 10 miles to a store that doesn't have them. I do not mind donating but come on the NEVER ending bells need to quit!!!!!!
