Our Christmas fun!!!

We had a very nice Christmas!! The kids got what they asked for. KirsLyn, the sweet child she is, told Santa to give her what ever he had. So she got a whole box of chocolate bars! Yumm!! Tayson asked for a Night Watch Optimus Prime Transformer. He was very excited to see that!! Kasadee asked for a Littlest Pet Shop. Very cool!! Travis didn't ask for anything, he has no clue whats going on, but Santa brought him one of his favorite things - a train set!!!

It was a very nice day, I am so thankful for my cute, sweet kids and great husband!! I may get grumpy with them, but I don't know what I would do without them!!!

Baptism


Tayson got baptized on Saturday! It was a great day! He and his best friend Liam got to share the special day together. I don't have any pictures of the baptism, I forgot my camera. I had to use my moms and I can't get them from her camera to my computer. I will have to keep trying, they looked so handsome in their white clothes!!!

Yeah, Christmas tree!!!






We bought a real Christmas tree this year! Smells good!! The kids were so excited to decorate it. And of course Kasadee asks everyday if its Christmas yet. Maybe we should have waited a week to put it up...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA!!!





Tayson turned 8!! Time goes so fast, it seems like not long ago I was a week over due, miserable and being wheeled in to the OR for a c-section. Aw memories!! Anyways, he got to go hunting with his dad and grandpa and even miss school!! How lucky is that!! He got his favorite toys Bakugans!! The new boy trend!!

Turkey Trot




KrisLyn's achievement days group had a Turkey Trot dinner. Her guest was her dad! They had dinner and a cake decorating contest. I saw this cute Pizza cake a couple years ago (Ben's cousin Karla made one). We use red frosting for the sauce, white frosting for the cheese, fruit roll ups for the pepperoni. Ben's cousin put the white frosting in the freezer and grated it like cheese, ours however didn't work out so easy. I found one the the kids play dough toys that squeezes stuff out and that worked a little better. We also made a bread stick cake. We baked the cake in a small cookie sheet, then we used a powder sugar glaze with yellow food coloring so it looked like butter. And used powder sugar and butter mixed together as Parmesan cheese. Pizza Man in North Ogden donated the boxes (Thanks Pizza Man!!!). They turned out really cute, I think!


Happy Halloween

I think the kids had a good time this Halloween. The older kids had school parties, everyone went to a party at great grandma Donnas, and they got lots of treats!!! Tayson was a Hunter, KrisLyn was a 50's girl, Kasadee a cheerleader and Travis was Frankinstien. Tayson got to go with his best friend Liam and the other went to the trunk or treat at the church and in a couple nieghborhoods. Yeah for Halloween and on to a fast approaching Christmas (Ahhh)!!!

Travis and his shoes:)

Travis loves his shoes. He has loved them since he started walking (8 mos.). He figured out he couldn't go outside until he had shoes on, so he would find his shoes and yell until you caved in and took him outside. Then we lost one of his shoes (what drama!). We bought another pair, and later found the missing blue one. So now he doesn't care what color, left or right as long as he has them on. Then he started crying for his "soes" at two in the morning!! So we just leave them on him all night! Then he cried because I took them off him to get tub. I put him in the tub and he got out and grabbed them. When I tried to take them out he laid on them so I couldn't get them. What can I say he loves his shoes!!!

Happy Birthday Kasadee

9/13/2003

Once a upon a time...five years ago...a little baby girl was born!!! She was named Kasadee Haley Murray. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. That little baby grow to be a toddler that screamed all the time (but was so shy in front of people). Then she grow to be a cute little girl who likes to sing, play with friends, go to preschool and help her mom with her little brother Travis!!!

THE END (so far!)
