HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!

This Wednesday November 19th was Andy's 30th birthday. We actually celebrated it all week long, which was fun for the both of us. I gave him presents all day long that we had gotten for him. Then later that night we had a bunch of our friends over for cake, ice cream, and nothing else but karaoke.
It was fun we all really had a good time.

So, I let Andy pick out what cake he wanted and what he wanted it to say.
He chose to have a turkey cake, because he thought it was better then the flower one, and we were too late to get a super hero cake.
On it he had written, "You've done a good job!" "Thanks for the memories!"
"The 20"s are over!!!"

On Saturday we went to Disneyland, just Andy and I, and hung out. It is our favorite time of year to go there, and we wanted to of course hop on It's A Small World. It was all decorated for Christmas, and after the firework show, they had snow, which was actually just foam, shoot out of the light poles. It was pretty fun.

In conclusion of Andy's birthday, I was planning on listing my 30 favorite things about him!
1. He always thinks of others first.
2. He doesn't mind me sleeping in.
3. He has no problem getting up with the baby at night.
4. He is a great father.
5. He is a wonderful husband.
6. He is honest.
7. He is hard working.
8. He is always striving to be better at whatever it is he is doing.
9. He is patient.
10. He will eat anything I cook.
11. He always asks what I want first.
12. He likes to sing karaoke with me.
13. He doesn't make fun of me when I do something stupid.
14. We think exactly the same.
15. We can ride in the car with each other, and just enjoy the silence.
16. He actually listens to me when I talk.
17. He always interrupts me when I talk. (This is good because it makes me not feel bad for being the same way.)
18. We can laugh together for hours.
19. He likes to snuggle for just the right amount of time.
20. He cooks dinner when I don't want to, without complaining.
21. He helps with everything around the house.
22. He knows that being a stay at home mom is hard, and would never want to change places.
23. He is a worthy priesthood holder.
24. We love the same kind of movies, and is totally willing to sit through a crazy chick flick. For example he took me to see Twilight on Friday.
25. He loves to read.
26. He thinks education is just as important as I think it is.
27. He is my best friend.
28. He looks good in a suit.
29. His is great to gossip to, because I know it stops at him.
30. He married me!
For all of this I am lucky to have you. I love you babe! Happy birthday, I hope you enjoyed it.

BABY'S GOT BACK

So yeah, if you read the title, our baby has definitely got a rear end. However so do all of her brothers. I guess it is the one true gift that I have given to my children, a butt! Now to explain the pictures. Well, Emmalee is standing now, and apparently a Bumbo stuck on her butt is not going to keep her down. She decided to get up and move around with it on.
He legs are so chubby, that she has a hard time wiggling them out on her own. Honestly, we all have a hard time wiggling her legs out of that thing.

Even daddy!


And of course what is the use of turning on the camera without having Gavyn jump in front of it to make sure he gets his photo op in. Yes, that is a horse on his head. It's this funny hand puppet that Andy got the boys from Texas. They enjoy wearing it on their head more then their hand. I guess it is just funnier that way.

MORE HALLOWEEN PHOTOS

Here is one more of Emmalee. Her daddy is holding her. Oh yeah, a little update on her. Today she started to say mama. She has been saying dada for about a month and a half, and finally after a ton of persuation and bribery (just kidding) she finally said it. Yea!!! She is also standing up, pulling her self up, and crawling like a maniac. And she has SIX razor sharp teeth. Still barely any hair though, I am waiting patiently to pull up her hair, or braid it or something like that.Here is a group photo of everyone. The extra little girl is not ours, she is one of my really good friends little girl, she went trick or treating with us. Aren't they all so cute and scary!



TRICK OR TREAT

So, it is yet another Halloween, and of course we enjoy dressing up the kids as much as they enjoy getting dressed up for it. My favorite part is pretending that I am a makeup artist, I mean isn't Halloween the one day a year when you can be whatever you want? hahaha Above is Christian, this year he chose to be the gate keeper. Not of heaven, but the other place, down below. SCARY!!!
Gavyn was of course the Incredible Hulk, giant hands and all.
HULK SMASH......

Jaidyn was none other then Iron Man. Can I tell you that Jaidyn and I have watched that Iron Man movie about a thousand times. Please come out with a new super hero movie, I am dying.


Emmalee was a devil. Not just any devil, but a princess devil. She was so cute! Of course the horns later became her own personal chew toy, and people thought she was a lady bug, but whatever, she was still adorable.



Logan was a knight. He is actually really sick here, but he stuck it out, and tried to enjoy his self. Even though he was ready to do the moment we started.

HALLOWEEN COMES EARLY

Okay so this picture doesn't have anything to do with Halloween, but it was so funny. We went down to the pool, yes you read that right down to the pool. It is the middle of October and hotter then it was all summer. Anyhow, when we got up to our place, I put Emmalee in her Bumbo (which is the greatest invention ever, just sorry that it only came out on our last baby), so I put her in her Bumbo, and she totally crashed out. She was out like a light, and didn't wake up for anything. It must have been the October heat!Now for the reason I actually came here to blog. Halloween comes early for one little boy. We as a family love Halloween. We love to dress the kids up and paint their little faces, and do all of that fun stuff. Well, I was getting Emmalee ready to take a nap this morning, you know getting her bottle ready and all of that. Jaidyn was especially quiet, and I thought it was just because he is sick, and didn't feel good. He was laying down in Logan and Christians room watching cartoons, so I THOUGHT I had nothing to worry about. Boy was I wrong. He comes out of the the back all dect out in face paint that he applied to himself.
He got his hands and everything! He was going for and Iron Man look, but I have to admit it looks more like Spiderman to me. He was so proud of what he did, how could I punish him for this? So, I didn't, after all you are only 3 once!

IRON MAN IS POTTY TRAINED!!!

Yes you read that right Iron Man IS potty trained, and now FINALLY so is Jaidyn!His reward, nothing more then an Iron Man costume. And if he got it all down it less then a week, then he also earned a Hulk costume for Gavyn.
So, without further delay here is the worlds tiniest Hulk and Iron Man, and they are both wearing big boy underwear! Whoo hooo!!!!
Watch out for these guys, evil villains!

WAITING FOR CHURCH

How often do we really have all the kids together dressed nice, and behaving really good. The answer only on Sundays!So, I thought I would take the opportunity to get a few shots of them with the camera.
They have all grown so much over the last couple of months. Emmalee is already 8 months old, where has the time gone?
And of course none of them are camera shy!

Andy and Kelly Together Forever
