off to school

3 GOING INTO HIGHSCHOOL

Kaden put his back pack on and said "mommy I'm going to highschool, see ya" It was so funny I said "highschool huh! yep so I need my books and pencils. Well kaden I said lets go to school so your first assignment is to teach connor how to play ball, which he did, and your second assignment is to find a round shape tunnel and crawl through it. Then he sat in connor's room (which was the classroom for him) and he showed me all the shapes and learned how to recognize the #1 and 2... He loves school for some reason he has this perfect image about school in that little brain of his(lets hope it stays that way) I may be ready for him to go to preschool, but not highschool....
Don't bug me he says"I'm at school learning"
playing ball with connor
and crawling through the round tunel!
is it just me or does the second baby get bigger faster then the first?

Bumble bee

Matthew came over last night to play ball with us and he looked so cute! He reminded me of the song"I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee, won't my mommy be so proud of me"we love you matthew....

Aunt heidi what did you do to my hair?
Mommy and kaden were playing ball, connor thought it was so funny he always laughs when the ball goes high....
I love you aunt heidi!

There's no fun, like SNOW fun!

Stephanie, Ben & Noah have become our closets friends. . We called them up and asked if they wanted to go sledding with us. This was kaden's first time really sledding and he loved it.(but crashed once and decided he just wanted to walk down the hill) We had so much fun! Thank you steph and ben for coming with us. We are really lucky to have such great friends.

Any ideas?

Okay so I realize how girley this page looks, I loved my other one and for some reason I can't get it back. I get my blog designs from matiekay.blogspot.com(thank you bevany), does anyone have any ideas?

Looking back at 2007!
Last year went by really fast, but, then again the older I get the more time flys. Last year Chris and I knew what to expect, he graduated from the U of U in May, we opened a business the end of July beginning of August, we had our sweet baby #2(Connor) the week we opened. I was telling Chris how last year we knew what to expect, this year we are not sure what to expect. We have high hopes that our business will be as successful as we believe it to be, I know most of you think he is crazy for leaving a government job to starting our own business, but I knew from the beginning that Chris was going to own his own business when he graduated. I feel really blessed to have married Chris and that we have 2 wonderful children with together. He is the one person I know that puts up with my qorkyness, (is that even a word?) I also feel blessed to have a husband that is family oriented, and to be able to stay home with my two little BUSY boys! Life does come at you fast, but I firmly believe that by making goals and working hard you can accomplish anything. May this year bring happiness to all of us!

BEST BUDDIES!

MY BEST FRIEND NOAH

FIVE months and sitting up!

Connor turned 5 months on Jan 2 and I was sitting and playing with him when I leaned over he was still sitting up! My little boy is trying to be too big to fast!
As exciting as this is, I am really sad about it! I don't like it when my babies get big! I'm sure you all can relate!!!!

Happy New Years!

MY BEST FRIEND!
Let me tell you about this wonderful tradition that Grandpa and Grandma Marie Mertz do every New Years Eve. The picture below is one of the things the kids look forward to every year called the Fish pond. They go from youngest to oldest and this is when they can give all the grandkids their Christmas gifts. Then they get all the confetti works and let the kids go crazy(talk about finding confetti for days right) ! We all love this, we go crazy and really have fun with everybody.... Then Grandpa and Grandma Marie let all the kids stay over for the night while the parents have the night to them selves, THANK YOU GRANDPA AND GRANDMA ! Then they have a yummy breakfast in the morning for everybody when we come pick up the kids.
Of course kaden got his Fire Truck(I think we have every kind of truck there is, if anyone needs saving a life kaden has the vehicle. )
3,2,1, HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!! (It really wasn't midnight)
Cousin Janie making a snow angel in the confetti!
