A Prayer for Mom

The past few days I have been dealing with Kidney Stones, and I finally decided to go to the doctor today. When I told Hannah and Madison that I wasn't feeling good and that I was going to the doctor, my cute little Hannah said "Mom, we should say a prayer for you". My heart filled with love and gratitude, that my sweet daughter would think to call on our Heavenly Father at this time. We waited for grandma Kathy to come over and had our little Prayer, Hannah didn't quite know what to say so Madison offered to say it. Thank you to my girls, who are looking after me, and thank you to my father in heaven for giving me the greatest blessing... My children.

Santa Came!

Ya, for Santa. This is my last post for Christmas, and I know I use Smile box a lot but it is fast and cute so here is one more Smile box creation for the season.

Christmas Eve

Wow this is a lot of blogging! And I'm only on Christmas Eve. Ok, so every Christmas eve Darren and I give the kids new Christmas PJ. Here are some pictures of them.

Thomas Christmas Party

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Thomas house. This was a lot of fun. Grandma and Grandpa gave the kids some fun gifts, Cole got an Air Hogs Airplane, Hannah got a Baby Alive doll, Madison got a Princess laptop and Princess shoes and Sadie got a baby doll. Lance and Heather got us a gift card to Texas Roadhouse and Bob and Kathy got us a card table and chairs, gift cards and money. Thank you Bob and Kathy for a fun and wonderful Christmas Eve.

The Saturday before Christmas we went to a party at Grandma and Grandpa Aardemas house. Grandma and Grandpa got the kids scooters and Sadie an Elmo kitchen, Aunt Tiffany got Cole a dart gun, Hannah a Hannah Montana camera, Madison got walkie- talkie's and Sadie got a baby doll, they all loved what they got. Here are a few pictures of the party.

We went down to my mom's house in Spanish Fork for her Christmas party. It took us almost 2 hours to get their with the bad weather, my mom put on a really great party. She had a gift exchange game for the kids to play and lots of fun presents for all. Thanks mom, you are the best mom and grandma.

Got Eggs?

As I was repainting the kids bathroom Sadie thought that the dog (Mr. Puppy) might be hungry, so she feed him some eggs. When I came down this is what I found, all the eggs were gone just the shells were left. Sadie and Mr.Puppy in Time out!

Christmas Party!

Well this is one of many Christmas Party's that I will be posting. This party was with all my sisters, my brother and my dad and his wife. It was held at my sister Collene's house this year and we all had a lot of fun. We made gingerbread houses (my sister Leann's is the only one that stayed standing), had a gift exchange and had yummy food. Here is some of them many pictures I took.

Hannah and Madison love to sing. They got in their dress up cloths and wanted me to video them, the are so cute and sweet. I love you girls.

Is Christmas really almost here? I can't believe how fast this year has come and gone. I haven't been in the Christmas spirit this year, it may be that we haven't had any snow yet. I hope the snow that is coming this weekend will change my mood, what cant I say I think I'm being the Grinch. With all that said I think my Christmas cards turned out pretty good. Thanks to Kristin and Laura (my sisters) for your help on them.

A Letter From Santa!

Darren and I took the kids to see Santa. The kids wanted to write a letter to Santa before we went. I posted their letters they got back from Santa, I am sad to say I didn't copy the one's they wrote. It would have made this a lot more humorous.

Thanksgiving Fun!

What a fun and memorial Thanksgiving. Thank you Kathy for all the great food and hosting it. Thank you Kristin for taking all the pictures.

Twilight!

I think I'm in love! Last Night my mom, my sisters and I went to the 9 o'clock showing of Twilight. I left my house at 4:30 to drop the kids off to Darren and meet my sisters in Provo at the Red Robin to eat. My Sister Collene got in line for the movie at 5 so we could be the first one's in and get the best seats, Thanks Collene. We all ended up waiting in line for 2 1/2 hours before getting in to see the movie, but it was well worth it. This was so much fun, I cant wait for the next movie to come out so we can do it all over again.

Pee Pee in the Potty!

This is so cute I had to blog about it. I know Sadie is a little young to start potty training, but she will come to me and tell me and say "pee pee, poo poo," so I put her on the little potty and away she goes. It's only happened 2 times now, but I think she's off to a good start!

Sadie loves the snow!

As I was getting the kids ready for school this morning, Sadie got up to come downstairs and she saw the snow on the ground and said "mommy look"! She was 1 years old the last time she had seen snow. The kids were putting on their gloves and hats, and Sadie had to put hers on too. So I took her outside to see what snow was all about, she loved it.

Blast into the Past!

I just found our engagement pictures from 3 1/2 years ago. My mom gave them to me about a year ago and I lost them again or I should say misplaced them. I'm so happy I found them and thought I would share them with you, I pick out my favorite ones. Oh and the song that I picked, is one that Darren gave to me on Valentines Day.

Darren is going to kill me for posting this on my blog, but it was the fourth of the fourth. I love this picture. A week before I took this picture Sadie had caught a cold and I had taken her to the doctors. They gave me the breathing machine to help clear her lungs, well the Pharmacy that I went to (Wal-Mart) put down the wrong amount of medication. Not knowing this and Sadie not getting better I went back to the doctors and they sent my to Primary Children's Hospital where I spent 6 hr. Now comes to this picture, Darren and I Stayed home so Sadie could get better, we were watching TV and I asked Darren if I could put his hair in ponytails, you have to know Darren this took a lot for him to let me do this. I don't know why I wanted to do this I have 3 girls, I put ponytails in every day. Anyway after doing this and just hanging out watching TV Darren's mom and dad stop by to see how Sadie was doing and seen Darren with ponytails in his hair, they will never let Darren out of this one. And for Darren's birthday that year they gave him pink hair bobbles. I love life moments like this.
