This is our Christmas card for all of those who didn't get it. I can't believe it is Christmas. I am shocked and sadened to think this wonderful holiday is coming to a close. I hope you are all enjoying your family and/or traditions. I am grateful for our Savior and all that He has done for us as His brothers and sisters. Merry Christmas once again and a Happy New Year.
I thought it was cute that he was playing under the table, I mean he is just the right height. So we played a little. 
He acted a little bugged.
He tried to push me away, and then I thought to myself... I wonder if he is hiding from me for some reason?
And then I both saw and heard it... he was doing his business. I think he knows it might be a private matter... he is becoming aware of a dirty diaper.
We might be on the road to no diapers... then I say to myself... ya right, like I would be so lucky as to have a child potty trained by two.
I looked out Kevin's bedroom window yesterday and noticed how HUGE the icicles were. So I took a picture. 
Then I looked today and had to take another picture to document the growth in just one day.
As you can see yesterday this big icicle was probably 3 feet long. And today that thing is at least 5 almost 6 feet long and much much thicker. I can not believe how many more icicles we have today than yesterday.
Look at that thing it is SOOO long!!
Since yesterday at 5:00 we have recieved at least 8" of snow on top of the foot we got on Tuesday, the 5 inches we got on Monday and the 6-7 inches we got on Saturday night. It sure has been crazy. I wish we still had our subaru.
Please sing to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree"
"Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, how yucky is your frosting
Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, it really is disgusting,
It's not that it just tastes gross,
but it is also worthless
Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, how yucky is your frosting."
Saturday was game night, we decorated gingerbread houses. We were all to lazy too make actual gingerbread. Most of us bought those kits from Wal-mart.
Let me just save you some wincing by telling you now that you should NOT taste the frosting that comes with the kit. It really does taste like glue, so just save yourself the trouble.
Also another good tip... do NOT line your WHOLE roof with skittles, as they are very heavy and the frosting that comes with the kit will NOT hold up under the pressure. As you can see the roof is sliding off as the picture is being taken. All the malt balls on top fell into the house later revived it by resorting to HOT GLUE!! Yup I can always count on my trusty glue gun to get the job done!!
After the roof fiasco I took a quick shot to show off our handy work.

But the rest of the gingerbread houses were pretty much amazing.
Take a look at Josh and Megan's Pentagon replica. 
It even has a courtyard in the center of it and although you can't see them very well... my personal favorites are the "Santa" guards and the Santa sniper on the roof who used pretzels as machine guns.
I just realized that I didn't get pictures of the other two houses all finished so you will have to settle for "in the process" pictures
Andi and Curtis having a little fun. They by far had the best fence which was made out of pretzels and frosting which looked like snow.
Greg and Jessica just getting started. Theirs looked wunderbar when they were finished.
Hi, my name is Kevin... but my mom is going to change my name to Kevin McSicky !! 
I have itchy eyes and a runny nose, and my poop is well... you don't wanna know. I am tired all the time but I don't sleep very good... being sick sure is sad. 
My mom says I have to go to bed now, I'm tired anyway. Goodnight!!
Kevin is getting molars. I was pretty sure he was getting them last week when he was cranky and fussy, but I talked myself out of the thought because that meant he was growing up faster than I wanted him to. But tonight I actually felt them coming through. I couldn't believe it, I had to keep putting my finger in his mouth to make sure, which obviously made Kevin a bit upset so then I would do "the happy molar dance" to make him smile again. It worked of course and then we would repeat the process. I know... I'm crazy.
Anyway I usually post pictures of his major accomplishments, but as you can see, getting a picture of his barely peeking molars was not one of my accomplishments.
I am just amazed at all the growing up a little one has to do, and that my little one year old is definitely doing it. I mean he is getting molars. He will be able to chew most everything. That is a bit scary... and exciting all rolled into one.
It just goes to show you that time stops for no one.
Here we will show you a step by step demonstration on how to eat a healthy breakfast consisting of eggs and toast. You might just say to yourself... "I am pretty sure I already know how to eat eggs and toast" but what I am about to show you will not only be better for you nutritionally but it will also put the "FUN" back into breakfast. The following pictures are provided by my son Kevin in order to show you the proper way to indulge in eggs and toast.
First you must spread the scrambled eggs out in order to cover the whole eating surface (you may also use a plate a counter or maybe even your coffee table. Use whatever is best for you... for Kevin it is obviously his high chair tray)
Then carefully DIVE down and swoop a combination of toast and egg into your mouth. (Depending on the size of your mouth you may get more or less than the demonstrator...this is normal). There are no forks, spoons or hands needed. It is all about the mouth.
Third you must bring your head back up into breathing and chewing position. This is VERY important otherwise choking and/or lack of oxygen may occur. Also for the "FUN" factor make sure to get a little something on your nose, as you can see for Kevin it was a bit of egg.
Then repeat the process until you either satisfy your hunger, or get bored with your eggs and toast. In cases such as the later, you may throw your breakfast onto the ground for someone else to clean up.
I hope you enjoyed our demonstration today. I assure you that satisfaction and "FUN" will be brought to your "Breakfast Time" through strict adherence to these guidelines. Happy Eating!!
You may wonder why I have a picture of this car on my blog... well let me tell you a story, I'll try to make it short.
About 3 or 4 months ago Kris and Tiersa (my sister and her husband) came up for a visit and drove a Honda Pilot and we took it for a test drive(he is a car dealer and sometimes gets to choose what he drives up to St. George). We really liked it so when we found out that we could buy a Pilot for cheaper than the car we had and we would have more room to grow, it seemed only logical that we should sell our beautiful Subaru and get a Pilot that would grow with us. We put the car on KSL.com and craigslist and hoped we would get a few bites on it. We had some calls but because it was a salvage title people were scared away. Meanwhile I grew quite attached to my wonderful car with it's leather seats, nice sound system and fast pick-up, to the point that I really didn't want to sell it. I knew we needed something bigger for the future, but I was content. Adam on the other hand had his mind set on selling it with dreams of being able to pack the car for the weekend without stacking stuff around Kevin's car seat. So when a girl named Whitney called on Thursday night, I didn't imagine that by Saturday morning our precious car would belong to someone else.
Yup that's right we sold our car. Can you believe it... we don't have our Legacy anymore. So we are down to one car (the beautiful pink/red/corral one in the background of the above picture) and it'll stay that way for about 6 months so we can save some money and we'll get a pilot later on.
So there it is. I might have cried a little, but ultimately we are happy with our decision. I am pretty excited now that it is all done and I know the Lord is blessing us even though it was hard to let go of the car, I know it is a blessing.
We cut my Mom's hair today. When she came she mentioned that she might be ready for a new look, so after we looked at a few pictures for ideas we decided to just go for it. She hasn't had bangs for about 6-7 years, so we "softened" her look a bit by adding some fringe around her face. I love it. Tell me what you think.
Okay so here is the down low... I haven't posted some major things because I am a slacker. So I have been on a blogging mission this morning. Therefore there are 5 new posts excluding this one. Two of them are quite long but keep going and you will eventually get to the best one. Have fun and don't forget to comment, I love comments.
