Bridger's Thanksgiving...

Bridger had a Thanksgiving Feast at preschool.  A week before the feast, his teacher asked each of the kids what they wanted to bring for the feast...they chose their favorite and that's what they bring.  Some of the kids chose things like chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, peanut butter and jelly...all those usual kid foods, not Bridger though!  He chose green beans and mandarin oranges...really, green beans?!  What kid chooses that...but that's what he said.  So, the day of I sent in a bag of steamable green beans...weird.  I was able to go over and see him during some of the feast and the funny thing is, I don't even think he ate a single green bean!  Oh my, that kid is a crack up!  I also got to watch story time and a game where they have to find sight words.  He's got a pretty good memory, so his teacher gives him the hardest words and he finds them.  She said a lot of times when they play this game, the other kids will ask Bridger for help with finding their words.  Love his little mind!  He's got a lot of personality, that's for sure!

The big 3-0!!!...

Ooh, don't mind our beautiful, rocky unfinished back yard!

Aaagh...30...I will be honest, it was hard turning 30!  I don't feel like I should be that old and feel like time is passing way too quickly!  Josh did a great job though in helping me celebrate turning 30!  He planned the theme all by himself!  He decided to make it a princess theme, so he picked out the decorations, got me a tiara, and picked out the awesome cake!  He was lucky though...the twins were in town for our birthday festivities weekend, so they made dinner...which was delicious!  I received a lot of nice gifts, but my favorite might just be the monkey slippers Bridger picked out for me...ha ha ha.  They come complete with a monkey tail.  Josh said Bridger knew he wanted to get me slippers, and when he saw the monkeys, he knew they were the one...awesome!  The only down side to the day was when we got home from church...there was a mouse running around in our garage...yuck...it creeped me out!  No worries, though...it's been caught and no signs of any friends!  Other than the mouse, it was a great day...even though I didn't want to turn 30! 

Bridger is 5...

I can hardly believe it has already been 5 years since my cute Bridger was born! He had a great 5th birthday in November! Our little guy is such a funny little smarty pants...he says some of the funniest things, you never know what's coming out of his mouth next! He is also so sweet and loves people. He is doing great in preschool, flying through the sight words and sight word books...can't believe he'll be in kindergarten soon!!

On Bridger's actual birthday we started out the day with going to my sister's cross country race (she did great!). After that, we came home, opened presents (he got way too many...he is so spoiled by everyone, lucky boy!). After a quick stop at the mall, we were going to go to Chuck E. Cheese with Whitney, Dani, Sheena and her husband Josh...but it was waaay too crowded, so we decided to try a pizza place in Sandy (Bridger wanted pizza)...it was delish! Bridger said he had a great birthday and we had fun seeing his excitement over everything!





He loves Scooby-Doo, so we had a Scooby party for him. He dressed up as Shaggy and his friends dressed as characters too. We had a mystery to solve complete with games, lunch, cupcakes, and a Scooby-Doo movie. It was a lot of fun and several parents said their kids had a great time! It was a lot of fun to plan the party and Bridger loved it!

Uh-oh...

Oh Kenna, please learn quickly to pick out your own outfits...we don't want daddy helping you anymore!!! ha ha ha ha

Blog updates...

As you can see, I've done a ton of updates on my blog! I have more to update, but for now I will be done...I've been working on it for a few hours...I had to put all the pics on my computer, organize them and then begin posting. All I have left for now is November: Bridger's birthday and my birthday, and December: Kenna's birthday and the Christmas festivities. I want to devote more time to those posts, so I will do so in the next few days.

Our family had a very Merry Christmas...it was great! Can't believe it's already January 2011! Josh is busy with work, and snowmobiling, ice fishing and all that stuff. I had all of December off from work...love year round and started up again last week. It's going good, but I am just busy...between work, tutoring, church calling, a home, and trying to raise my kids, I feel like there is so much to do, but I really can't complain! Bridger is learning to read and loves preschool...he is such a funny kid...I just finished filling out a kindergarten registration packet...can't believe that!!! Kenna is so cute and fun...she is loving playing with her brother, loves her doll and kitchen, is talking a ton, and her hair is finally growing (hope it grows fast!)

Hope everyone is well! I will be updating soon....for sure!!!
