Clint wanted a Kung Fu Panda cake for his birthday so this is how that cake turned out. Not bad for the first time making a Kung Fu Panda cake.

This is a cute picture of Clint when he was about a year old. We were in Sportsman Wearhouse and put this hat on to see what he looked like. Boy how they grow up fast.

Clint is showing Grandma Sipes how to play his new guitar.

Happy Birthday

Clint got a new guitar. It is so funny to watch him play it because he really gets into it.

He loves Kung Fu Panda and his Aunt Barbara got him some window decals.

He also got a Kung Fu Panda book from his Aunt Linda, Uncle Brandyn and cousin Cheynne.

My mom opening her birthday present.

First of all I would like to tell my mom "Happy Birthday" Her birthday was on the 14th. I am so glad that I have the mother I do. She does so much for me and I love her.

We celebrated Clint's birthday today. I cannot believe that he will be 4-years old on Monday. I remember when he was born. He did not want to come out. I had to have a c-section and the doctor had to use the vacuum and the forcepts to get him out. He has grown so much and in two years he will be going to Kindergarten. Boy how time flies. I love this little guy and feel so blessed that I have him in my life. I can't help but smile when I look at him. Here are some pictures of his birthday party.

Yuck, yuck, yuck

To all those who have had the stomach flu I feel for you. Douglas woke up Friday morning with the stomach flu. After a full day of cleaning up messes, doing laundry, and changing from one set of pjs to another we all went to bed. Then sometime around 11:00pm Tyrone woke up with an upset stomach and was up pretty much all night. To top things off I woke up at 4:00am and was not feeling good. All day everyone has just been laying around and running to the bathroom. Then to top things off just a few minutes ago Clint started. Hopefully it will not last too long.

Douglas is already feeling better (of course). He want cake and ice cream to eat and does not want to sit still. Both Tyrone and I are starting to feel a little better. Still can't move very fast without feeling sick but that is making progress. So to all you other bloggers I hope no one else gets this stomach flu.

BodyBugg

I don't know about the rest of you but I really need to get rid of some of this extra weight that I have on my body. Tyrone and the boys got me the best Christmas present ever invented for losing weight. It is called the BodyBugg. You wear an arm band and a watch (shows you how many calories you have burned and much more) all day. At the end of the day you go online and upload all of your information onto the computer. You also type in what you ate and how much and it will tell you how many calories you ate for the day. It is suppose to be a great tool in helping people lose weight. Hopefully in three months I will be down 12 pounds.

Merry Christmas

I have been wanting to make our bedroom more "romantic" so for Christmas my mom got us this really pretty bed in a bag. The picture does not do it justice.

Mary, Linda, Cheyenne and Brandyn singing Ruldolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for the little program that we put on for Christmas Eve.

Everyone just sitting around visiting and relaxing.

Douglas was so funny when he saw his Santa gift he said "oooh"

Clint loved the Leapster2 that he got from Santa. It came with a Wall-E game

This is my handsome great nephew Gage. He is 4 1/2 months and is having surgery done on the 30th of this month to get his lip fixed. He is such a happy baby.

Santa always makes a visit to my parents house on Christmas Eve and by the time Santa left Douglas was going up to him and giving him kisses. Nothing like at the ward party last weekend.

Clint loves Santa. He had no problem going up to get his gifts from Santa.

I just love Christmas. It has always been my favorite holiday and it is even better now that the boys are older and get excited about opening gifts and seeing Santa. Like Bek our boys got new pj's for Christmas Eve and this year my mom decided to get Me and Tyrone new pj's too. We were going to take a family picture on Christmas morning with all of us in our new pj's but when we got home last night Douglas threw up all over his pj's. For some reason when we go to grandparents houses the kids eat sugar, sugar, sugar. Well that did not agree with Douglas. The family pj picture will have to be taken later.

Tis the season

While taking family pictures for our Christmas cards Clint and Douglas climbed up on the bench and started saying "cheese"

Our Christmas tree.

Douglas not liking Santa too much. I was a mean mom and made him sit on Santa's lap before he could get the goodie bag.

70th Birthday Celebration

We had a big birthday party for my dad this weekend and after all of the guests left we took some family photos. The party was a big success. We sent out 50 invitations and about 1/2 came. Not bad considering it was a Friday night and it is a busy time of the year. We had a great time and I am glad that we got to celebrate my dad's big day with him.
