Holiday Maddness!!

First, I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday! I know we sure did, we couldn't have asked for anything more, well except if my mom and sister could have spent the holidays with us. I am just posting a bunch of random pictures I took throughout december. The kids had such a great time, I am sad to see it go. We didn't even get to decorate our gingerbread house, maybe next year. This was Xander just loving his new toy, he is such a cheeser, but I love it. Dylan was glued to the TV watching spiderman, that is his new obsession. I love this picture of Jax, he looks so excited yet embarrassed, it was on Christmas morning, all he wanted to do was unwrap presents an I didn't hardly wrap any for him.

This was when we first put our tree up, as you can tell with a 9 month old the bottom decorations didn't last long. This was such a great holiday season I love every minute of it. I am so lucky to have such a great family.

This was my favorite picture, it was Christmas eve and the kids wanted to open a present, so they opened one that they had given to each other, they loved it ofcourse. We were like you better give each other a hug, Jaxon was like no way and Dylan wanted to kiss too. Dylan is such a lover, he is always saying "mom, I love you". It is so adorable it melts your heart. They fight constantly but here is a rare occasion of love. "PRICELESS"

We celebrated Christmas Eve at our house with my dad and Loralee and Freddie's family, it turned out great, so we were able to get a few pictures of us by the tree. Xander was so tired he went to be early and missed out on all of it. Look at Jax, he was so hyper and wild he was being a little dork. But a cute one!

Christmas was great and I think it gets funner every year. There is nothing like the holidays to bring everyone together.

Our crazy life...

So lately we have just been livng our crazy life, with 3 boys its never a dull moment. Here are Jax and Dylan in my bathtub, they love taking baths in our bathtub. There have been a few times when we underestimated the bubbles, with jets a little goes a long way. We have had such a great time in our new house it has been so much fun. Its nice to have a place that we can call our own. We have began painting and I longed to do that for so long, but I have decided that it is a pain in the a$$. It is a lot of work and I definately have got that out of my system. Jaxon keeps saying when are you going to paint my room. And to be honest I am dreading when I decide to do that.

Here is our little Xander, he is growing up so fast, I think he is going to take off walking soon. Stands up to everything and eats everything off the floor. he has had a few pebbles of dog food I will admit, but he doesn't seem to mind. Poor kid. He has become quite the little thumb sucker too, feeding him is such a process after every bite in goes the thumb and it must be pried out before the next bite. Needless to say it gets all over. His eyes have turned brown and I have to say that I am excited because finally I have a child with my eye color. That sounds dumb, but my other kids have blue eyes and neither me or freddie has blue eyes. So I am glad to have a little brown eyed kid.

Lately we have been going to the movies and surprisingly all 3 kids have been great. It is a fun experience that we all enjoy. Sometimes getting out can be pretty hard, so this has been great.

Last I cannot believe christmas is right around the corner! I have been panicing the last few days because my mind has gone blank, what to get the kids. They need nothing, but are wanting EVERYTHING!

Halloween Fun!

So I am the worst mom ever when it comes to taking pictures when things are happening, I used to be so good at getting a shot of everything that happens. Now I am lucky to get pictures of events. I tried, but it is too hard. Maybe next time huh. I have been frantically sewing, I made all the kids matching pjs like the ones Xander is wearing and I planned on getting all 3 of them together, but try to get 3 boys to sit still at one time.

Here is our little baby pirate, he was soooo cute, we all dressed up as pirates, but Dylan insisted on being a fire fighter. So we let him win. Two year olds can be pretty stubborn.

Here is our other little pirate, the kids were so tired, but they had some candy and were ready to go.

Dylan loved dressing up in his fire fighter costume and he sure looked cute in it.

I made our costumes and bought the other boys, we decided not to spend a fortune on costumes, they do look home made but what ever works right.

I hope every one had a happy halloween. We got enough candy to last a lifetime. My kids had candy for breakfast, isn't that terrible.

The Hoagle Zoo!

We went to the zoo last month, we had been waiting to go for about 2 months and I was so excited, I thought the kids were going to love it, since they love animals. It was fun, and there were a few things the kids really enjoyed like running around and looking at the snakes. But as far as the other animals they just layed there. Here is the baby giraffe, it never got up, and the baby elephant layed flat and didn't even move.

Of course eating ice cream and snacks was fun!

The pengins were so hungry they just stood there and looked at the door. How sad huh.

Luckily we went on a day that was warm, because the next few days we were up there it just rained. Xander was so good he just sat in his stroller most of the time.

Look at those kids in the background, right at the end Dylan pooped and it was diarrhea so it got all over his shorts. We never pack extra clothes for him so he just wore his diaper around for the last little bit. Is that white trash or what.

These things are so wierd, Dylan couldn't get over it that he walks on his knuckles it was so cute.

Here is one of the big giraffes, they sure were big, and you could get pretty close so it was neat for the kids.

Everyone had fun riding the merry-go-round.

And last one of the elephants, they were pretty cool, stinky but cool to see up close. That was our big adventure for the summer. I tell you what sometimes it can be pretty exhausting to take 3 kids places. I felt like every restaurant we went in people were like oh great a bunch of kids.

So it has been forever since I have posted and there has been so many things that have went on. I guess so many milestones have passed. Here is Xander, he is almost 7 months old, he is crawling, rolling, just being the cutest baby. I just decided to post a few random pictures of everyone. This next one is at Pirate Pizza, it was Jax 4th birthday, can you believe it my baby is 4. This was alot of fun I think we had just as much fun as the kids did. And those were probably the most expensive swords:)

Xander got blessed in august, and both the boys got a shaved head from their aunt in hair school. I was pretty shocked when I saw them, but it has grown on me. Xander was such a little cutie in his little suit. He just sat up there and cooed during the whole thing it was cute.

This was the 4th of July, it was hotter than hell, but the kids had fun. We have never celebrated in St. George, so we figured we would take a turn here. There were some pretty fun things to do here other than the weather was so rediculous. They let the fireworks off right behind our house so we had a front row seat and that was great.

Once again the big 4. He is getting so big some of the things he says are so funny. For instance the other day we were driving to St. George and he said "why dont we have a hanna ontana on our car?" I was thinking what? Did he se someone with a hannah montana sticker. We were up north and it was the Hannah Montana concert and we saw a lot of crazy fans. I said cause we don't want one. He said "Why" I was like I don't know and finally he said you know that hanna ontana on the front of the car. Turns out he was talking about the antana, apparently our car doesn't have one on our hood. It was so funny.

I just took this one today, I had to post cause it was so cute. I am so lucky to have these boys. Someone told me you make your life happy if you are happy, and I AM HAPPY!!! Who wouldn't be with these cuties.

I wanted to post a few recent pictures of Xander, he is turned into quite the little fatty pants and he is smiling and talking like crazy. It is so cute I just love this age. I have never had a kid this fat it is so crazy. But I love it he is such a cutie pie.

Excitement in our life....

We recently took a trip to Zion's and it was alot of fun. I wish we we could have went on a hike or something, but the kids are a little small. It is so nice having a beautiful national park right in your back yard. We walked on a little trail and found a stream for the kids to play in and they loved it, they are such little boys, dirty and curious it is so cute.

What a cutie, he is growing up so fast.

Xander was such a good little boy, he slept the whole time, until we were ready to eat of course. Anyone who knows they can sense when you want to eat cause they do too.

Jaxon was playing Mr. photographer, it sucks because we never get any pictures together.
