Time for a new post!

I love blogging and especially reading other peoples blogs! I only wish I was better at updating my blog! For Thanksgiving we went up to Washington State with my family! We had a wonderful time there and I have some great pictures but they are on Marcus's laptop so I've decided that tonight will be the night that I will blog about our trip! I have put it off long enough!

So the last few weeks have been very busy ones... partly cause I am the mother of two small children and partly cause it is Christmas time and it is just a busy time of the year! We have almost finished our Christmas shopping! Yea! We aren't doing too much for the kids cause they really don't get it yet and it will be soon enough when they do!

Josie is in the process of potty training... as I am sure any one that has been through this it has its good days and its bad days! For the most part she is doing great but we still have to remind her a lot. I think this new era has made her more curious about the human body. She has asked me on several different occasions... what is that? what is that? .... whether it is on her own body or on Hayden's. I try to tell her like it isn't a big deal and move on but kids can be pretty funny when it comes to bathroom stuff and body parts! Hayden is now just more curious about the toilet and is constantly wanting to play in it. He sticks his hand in there, splashes it around, and then wipes his head. He is funny and doesn't get why I get mad at him and shoo him out all of the time. He also thinks he gets a "potty treat" every time Josie does. They are fun!

Christmas time is so much funner with kids! They get excited about everything! They have been loving our tree! They take the ornaments on and off all day long.... good thing we got cheap ones! On Saturday, we had our ward Christmas breakfast complete with Santa. The kids wouldn't go to him of course but after he gave Josie a treat she said, "Mommy, Santa is nice!" It was cute! Also that morning, there was a firetruck that came around our neighborhood with its sirens on and Santa was on the back throwing candy! I ran outside with Josie to wave and get a treat! I thought that was such a fun thing! Well I will be back shortly to post some fun pictures!
