Gingerbread House

The kids wanted to decorate a gingerbread house this year.
I even got Dakota included in on it. He put the house together for me while I made dinner. I wanted him to help the kids decorate but he is so into making things look good that he didn't want it "ruined" in his words. At least he helped and next year i guess I'll get him his own.

Notice the earphones. Can't go anywhere without his Ipod these days.




Now is that "ruined" no just done by kids and they had a lot of fun doing it.
Doesn't look "perfect" as Dakota would have it but at least they all had fun!!

New things

Treyden wanted to eat dinner with the "little tray" so after he finished he left it on the floor and Paislee found it. It's her new favorite thing. She loves climbing on it and sitting on it. I hope the hinges will hold lol.

I am so behind on blogging I thought I better get some updates in before Christmas.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy TREYDEN

I can't believe my baby boy is 5. (Ok I'm a day late posting, I feel so bad) He is such a big help to me and his sister. Paislee loves him. He is a crack up and is always making us laugh with his cute looks and his funny little sayings (check out the sidebar) and he doesn't like his picture taken. We usually have to bribe him but I got a few yesterday of him opening some presents so I'll post them.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy Paislee

Happy Birthday Paislee "1" year old!! I can't believe how fast time goes by....

(I tried to make it short but you know how it goes...)

Computer and their own minds

Sorry I haven't posted for a while my computer was having major issues with our router and we reset it and unplugged and did it again and again. It took forever to load anything. So if I wanted to get on the computer I had to go down in Ty's office and get on the computer well, Dakota decided he's had enough of being without his XBox Live and plugged a ethernet (sp?) cord into the router to see if it would work and now the internet is working again. Computers and their gadgets have a mind of there own don't they??!!

We had planned on going to the store the next day to get a new one. I had even dug out the old receipt to see if we had bought the warranty on it. Funny how it worked out so hopefully it will keep on working.

Now I have some updating to do.

Kids, smarter than you think

Kids are smarter than you think they are and Treyden is the funniest kid. He is always saying something funny. The other day (and I'm not condoning it at all) he got mad at Ty and yelled at him that he was a hobo. I looked at Ty and he looked at me and he said Trey what did you call me and Trey said a hobo. Ty then asked him what a hobo was (meanwhile I'm trying not to laugh)? He said its a guy that lives on the street!!?? What the heck??!! I can't believe he knew what it was. I burst out laughing, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I asked him where he heard that from and he told me Colin told him (his cousin).

I guess you really got to watch what you say around them and what they watch on tv because they pick up on everything good and bad. I'm adding more to my funniest sayings on the side of my blog here's a couple of others courtesy of Trey:

That's diabolical (from the Bee Movie)

I need a little piece and quiet. Do you think you can do that for me Paislee? Just a little piece and quiet.

What do you want for Christmas Trey? A box of paperclips (ok there is a story behind this one too.) Trey went with me to Tyler's work and Ty told him all he was getting for Christmas was a box of paperclips. Well he remembered it. I asked Trey if he wanted color ones because they would be fun to play with and he said no he wanted the silver ones. They were easier to bend?? Seriously how do they know all of this. I wasn't even sure he knew what a paperclip was. I could be saving some serious money if all he wants is paperclips ;)
