Wow, so much has gone on since I last posted. I have truly been meaning to post some of our updates, although there are not that many or so great, I have been bombarded with sick, ornery and frustrating little boys. I sometimes don't get a moment to sit down to relax, let alone get anything done around the house. Anyway, sorry for being a bad blogger. Here are a few updated pictures of my adventuresome, crazy boys. Daxton is always finding something to climb into and use that great imagination. This is his rocket. He used to diaper boxes and made himself a rocket. I hope that his creativity will serve him well in the future for his career.
Anywho, Hayden sure keeps me on my toes now. He has mastered the art of climbing onto chairs and benches. I found him on Sunday, well, I heard him saying "dada" and was wondering where he was. He was standing on the table in the living room looking a picture with "dada" in it. AHHHH!!!! I am just grateful that I am not pregnant and expecting a little one right now. This is what Corbin decided he could do 2 weeks before Hayden was born. Now Hayden is a sweetie and makes me laugh and smile all day, especially when he climbs into the laundry basket and smiles at you. Who couldn't love that face?!?! Silly boy!
For Valentine's Day we decided to spend it as a family. I didn't want to fight the crowds and find a babysitter so we made dinner at home, candlelit and all. The boys thought that it was GREAT!! We made our own Martinelli's with ginger ale and apple juice, had chicken cordon bleu, 4 cheese mash potatoes, green beans and asiago cheese bread. DELICIOUS!!! The boys had a great time with most of the lights off and having "fire" at the table. It was not romantic at all, but we had a great Valentine's day! (a day early, too!)
After our wonderful dinner that was all decked out and all, we went to my really good friend's wedding reception. I have known Jayni for a very long time. I think the first time that we met was playing softball in peanut league with my dad as our coach. Oh, the good ol' days! Since then we have played ball together, had classes together in school, stood by each other in choir( all choirs I think from 6 grade onto high school, and maybe even in college), and have been really good friends. She finally found our eternal best friend, Josh Kitchen!!!! I'm so excited for them to start their life together. It sure will be an adventure!
Oh, did I tell you Mat got me a car for Valentine's day!!

....... A hot wheels car!!!! Silly man that I love. I had asked him one time what he was thinking about getting me for Valentine's day and said a car. I said, you better not without me. He just smiled. When I opened my gift there was a book, "Change your Questions, Change your life!" by Wendy Watson Nelson, Wii fit plus and a hot wheels car!
And Daxton thought it was for him. It now sits on my computer desk.
This next picture I thought was really cool. My grandpa came over yesterday to help us get all of his tools set up in our garage to have our Scouts come and get their pinewood derby cars cut out. Daxton was wanting to sit and watch his great grandpa and daddy work and get it all set up. We didn't have very many boys show up, but it was nice to see at least 6 of the Cub Scouts of 20 come. Oh, I got a new calling along with Mat. I am no longer the Bear den assistant. I am now the Bear den Leader!!!! And Mat, he is the new Gospel Doctrine teacher!! I know that Mat will do a great job. I am sure going to miss working with him in Scouts, but glad that he can teach again. He loves teaching and does a great job. Me, on the otherhand, am truly scared for my new calling. To be an assistant is one thing, but to have all the responsibility and control scares me. I would rather be in the background doing all the work than doing it in the front. That is probably why I have this calling is to get me out of my comfort zone and present, but ugh I don't know.....
Well, I hope you all had a great and Happy Valentine's day!
