Digi-Disneyland

 Kim's first time holding Kase!  (the Pirates of the Caribbean ride!)

 

Konnor and I in Mickey's car!  He thought it was really going to move!

 Kellie's first time holding Kase!  (During the Disney winter parade)

 Gotta love the Tea Cups... thank heavens this one wasn't moving!  :)  Stomach flu and the tea cups don't blend to well...

 It's the GENIE!

 A little family love for breakfast!

 Family pic in front of the ginormous tree at Disneyland!  Kase was in the carseat sleeping.  Or else that would have made a pretty good family pic.  We had our DigiCert shirts on.  Or we like to call them, "DigiShirts". :)

 Strike a pose, there's nothin to it.

 Pirates

 A little taste of Heaven.  I remember having these when I was a little girl at Disneyland!  Yum Yum!

 Kaylee and Kiana in line to meet Tinkerbell!

 Our family pic with Tink, plus Kiana.  We adapted her.  Ok, not really... but her and Kaylee were pretty much inseparable!

 I introduce to you, Princess Kaylee...  DigiCert gave all the little kids Disney style make-overs!  Kaylee absolutely loved it!  

 MICKEY MOUSE! 

 Kyle took Kase on his first Merry-Go-Round.

 This was the most beautiful tree in our hotel lobby.

 Princess AURORA... Kaylee's favorite princess (this year).

 Cinderella

 Belle

 Konnor really enjoyed Snow White!

 Woody and the toy soldier.  Konnor was super excited to meet them, but for some reason... these pics don't really show it.

 Our very own Digi-Action Figures!

 Konnor lit up like the 4th of July when he saw Lightening McQueen.

 Mater!

 Konnor's favorite character this year- BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!  You can tell by Konnor's big smile!

Kaylee and I went into Minnies house.  That place is just so cute!  

Thank you to DigiCert for the wonderful trip to Disneyland!  We have enjoyed it all 3 times!  What a wonderful company to work for!  And plus, we have so many wonderful people we get to vacation with!  WE LOVE DIGICERT!

Arizona 2010

 Every year we go to Arizona to visit my side of the family.  It is one of my most FAVORITE things ALL year!  Especially when I get to see my sweet angel Grandma!  Above is a 4 generation pic.

Below:  My little family with Grandma Ella!

 The other highlight is seeing UNCLE SCOTT! (my brother).  Kaylee and Konnor just adore him!

How could you not, he is just like a big kid!  And he is one of the best cooks I know of!  He is a master bbq man, and this year he used his smoker grill to smoke our Thanksgiving Turkey!  It was out of this world!  Very tender and juicy, and the flavor was so smokey and yummmy!

 Kyle and Konnor hanging out in the warm sun!

 Grandma Basha and Kaylee cheesin!

 Kaylee and Rochelle are just a few months apart and they always have so much fun playing together.

The whole time we were there (when we weren't with her), Kaylee asked, "When can we play with Rochelle?"  Now that we are home, she keeps asking, "When can Rochelle come play with me?"

 Kyle was helping Kaylee learn to ride a bike there... The hills in our neighborhood are too steep for a good lesson.

 Konnor had a blow out in his diaper, and while his pants were in the wash, he decided to get to work in Scotts garden spot.

 The girls on the playhouse, making potions.  (dirt, flowers, weeds, and water)

 We went to Apache Junction to the Lost Dutchman mine.  That was a ton of fun... However that is the point when our camera BROKE!  :(  So these are the last pics of Az.  

Aunt Tracy got to come with us too!  She got to snuggle Kase most of the time.  It was a win-win.  She got her snuggle time, and my back got a brake. 

 There was a "Wanted" sign of a little boy that looked JUST LIKE KONNOR!

I knew he was a KON-MAN!  hee hee

 Here are our trapped birds!

 He is our little personality, isn't he?

Thanks to all of my family in AZ.  for the fun time!  Good food, ok, REALLY good food, lots of fun and made memories that will last forever!

Shutterfly is Super fly!

I found this great promo from Shutterfly on my friend's blog. If you've got a blog, they're offering 50 FREE CHRISTMAS CARDS just for being in the blog world!

You know I'm a sucker for a screamin' deal, so I went right to the sight and started designing cards--so cute, super fast, and easy to upload photos.  I always have a hard time choosing my favorite photo for the cards, and I liked their selection of mulitiple photo cards. Now that I don't have to choose just one photo, I hope I can narrow down my favorite card! I also liked that I can edit my photos right on their sight.  

A few other great features on Shutterfly:
Awesome photo calendars (my mom loves these as gifts)
Photo Mugs (never had one of these, but how great would it be to sip cocoa from a mug with your cute kids on it)?!
Christmas Invitations (you could really wow the family with one of these invites--and a great price, too)!
Birthday Invitations As most of you know, I love planning parties, Shutterfly makes it easy for me to do the invites.  One less thing I have to do on my LONG list of to-do's.

I also saw that Shutterfly has free photo storage. They guarantee your satisfaction and you can pick up your photos at Target, Walgreens, or CVS in an hour! So easy, fast, and convenient!

Just click on THIS!

Christmas Lighting

If your next few weeks are anything like mine.... you are BUSY!  Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, decorating,  and lots of parties.  Not a lot of spare time.  I know of one thing you can easily check off of your to-do list. Your Christmas lights on your home.  Plus, your husband won't fall off the roof!  (We do have a lot of steep roofs in our neighborhood.)  We have a friend from our previous ward who owns a Christmas Lighting business!  He does great work at great prices.  He is a great man who is honest and efficient!  He could use all of the referrals he can get in this tough economy!  If you are interested, give him a call.

Christmas Lighting

7 weeks!

As you may have guessed, 

I haven't had a lot of time to blog lately!  ha ha 

I am tired, busy, tired, and did I say busy?!

So this is the best I can do for now.  Kase has been such a GOOD baby!  He rarely cries, he adjusts well to the many loud sounds in our house (Konnor, Kaylee, guitars, etc..)  

He is a little snuggler! 

Here is Kase compared to Dads shoe and 

the Book of Mormon (missionary edition).

This is a little tradition with our kids... we have done this with all of our children.

And now this is him 4 weeks later!  My little chunky man!

 Not the best sleeper... but really good with diaper changes by ALL of the many hands helping the job get done!

 This is a tender moment I caught on camera with dad.  The day before he left for Australia!

 And sweet Kaylee kept saying in the background, "Mom, mom, take a picture of me and my capri sun!"  So here you go....  A pic of Kaylee and her capri sun.  :)

 My 3 little munchkins!  My heaven on earth!

 Look at that SMILE!!!!   And look at those boots!  Old Navy purchase my mom made months ago.  She must have known we were having a boy!

Well, that is the best update I can do for now.  Kase is starting to wake up!  His 2 month check up is this week.  Hopefully, I can post again then!

Kaylee Quote

Yesterday, Kaylee came up to me while I was holding Kase.  She gave him a kiss.  I said, "Awe Kase, your big sister is giving you a little smoochy!"  Kaylee then gave me a big kiss on the cheek!

I said, "Kase, your big sister just gave me a really wet kiss!"

I asked Kaylee, "Why was your kiss SO WET?"

Kaylee said, "I licked my lips."

I said, "Why did you do that?"

Kaylee said, "So it would stay on longer!"

You have to love the funny things kids say!  And my kids are ALWAYS coming up with funny things to say!  That is something I am very thankful for!

Halloween again and again...

Halloween First round... 

Kaylee had her first Halloween at school!  Her school did a big Halloween parade!  IT WAS PACKED!  Here is Kaylee in her recycled Halloween costume!  (THE dress)... This was Friday morning at school.

Round 2:  However, since Kaylee goes to afternoon Kindergarten, we got dressed AGAIN...  She was going to have a party in her room that day, so I didn't want her spilling punch or getting frosting on her DRESS, so we put her in her Aurora costume that afternoon.

 The PM Kindergarten had their own parade at the school... and being the awesome mom I am, I went to that one too!  ;)  Here she is super giddy and waving like a fairy princess in a parade!

 

Round 3-  Friday Night:  Kathie came and babysat ALL THREE KIDS!  So Kyle and I could attend his boss's Halloween party!  THE Scallywag!

So here we are as PIRATES!  And to be specific, I was a Gypsy Pirate.

 Laughing it up with friends!

 

Here is part of the DigiGang...  Good times had by all.

 

Round 4:  Saturday afternoon was our wards Trunk or Treat... But both Kaylee and Konnor weren't feeling well.  And Kaylee slept right through the whole thing.  :(

Round 5:  So, Saturday night I woke her up and said lets get dressed to go TRICK or TREATING.  She seemed excited about that.  So she popped up off the couch.  But then to our disappointment, it was RAINING outside.  And aunt Kellie told us to NOT get THE dress wet.  Parts of it were glued.  So we couldn't wear her dress yet again.  She decided on her Jasmine dress that she has had for a couple of years now.  Konnor was going to be a Newsie in his "recycled costume".  But since it was freezing... he wore pants and he kept taking his suspenders off... so. THIS is what you get.

 Kyle was outside in the Haunted Garage when I was taking pics so I just have Kase on the changing pad.  LAME, I know.  But here is the cutest Baby Pirate ever.  He was mad, but still cute.

I drove the kids around to just a few houses, since it was wet, cold, and windy.  Then we came back home and by Saturday Night, this is what Kyle and I transformed into... DEATH...  :)  

 Granted, our makeup was much better at the beginning of the night.  And take note.... I did my makeup with ONE HAND while holding the baby in the other hand!  NO JOKE!  I feel so accomplished.  For those of you that are really reading all of this, if you must know, I was nursing too!  ha ha

Below:  My scary man!  We didn't go all out with the Haunted Garage like in years past, but it was VERY spooky to the new neighborhood kids!  They had nothing to compare it to. 

 Kaylee even wanted to go in the "Spooky Garage and scare the kids".  (Kaylee's own words)

Her bravery has come FAR in the past couple of years!

So... we were Pirates, Gypsies, Royal Princesses, Newsie boy (who just really looked like he was going to church), Jasmine, and Zombies--- all in a 24 hour period.
