Creepy Eye

Dan had to have surgery on his eye. They had to numb the eye to be able to the procedure. To numb the eye they had to stick three needles in it. The needles hit a couple of blood vessels cause his eye to look like this.

Keanan's Cool Looks!

He looks sharp in his new church cloths! He is now in sunbeams. I can't believe that he is old enough to be a sunbeam. He did great! He went in without a fuss. He learn so much in just one week. On Monday he ran away from Olivia singing "Follow the Prophet". It was really cute. He also learned the sunbeam song and sings it all day long.


This is his cool workout look!

New Years Eve

Normally we don't do anything for New Years but this year we went over to a friends house and played games and set off fireworks. Dan and the kids had a lot of fun with the fireworks. Keanan even got to light a couple. The kids were occupied with a bunch of activities that we did see them for several hours. That was nice because we actually got to relax and play games with our friends. The kids played so hard that they even slept in the next morning. Thankfully!

Exciting Day!

Yesterday was it exciting for two reasons: 1-Keanan is now officially potty train at night! Only one child in diapers now, but hopefully she'll potty train faster then Keanan did. 2-It snowed in Apache Junction, AZ. The only sad part to that is it didn't snow at our house, but people in our ward got snow.

Christmas 2010

This year we had a nice and quite Christmas with just the four of us, but I think our years of sleeping in on Christmas morning are over.:( Keanan now understand what's going on. Actually we would have been able to sleep in this year if Dan hadn't of said anything. Keanan came in asking if he could watch cartoons and Dan asked "You don't want to open presents?" Well you can guess what Keanan's answer was, "Yes I do!" Then Dan looked at the clock and said Its only only 7am. He thought it was later but the damage was done and we couldn't go back to sleep.


Keanan!
This year was fun with Keanan. He loved opening presents and not just his. He want and tried to open everyone's present!




Olivia!
This year Olivia was more interested in the food she got in her stocking then the presents.




The Creative Gift!
Dan got creative this year with my present. All I asked for Christmas this year was cloths. Well Dan thought it would be boring if he just gave me an envelope of money or a gift card. So he built a box and put a bunch of one dollar bills and newspaper in it. The only way you could get it out was through a hole that barely fit two of my fingers. It took me three hours to get all the money out. I did have a couple of helpers in there. Olivia pulled out a good chunk of it.






Our Ward Christmas Party!
This year for our Christmas party they did breakfast with Santa. This is the first year that Keanan would sit on Santa's lap, but Olivia wanted nothing to do with him.

This is the hat I made for Olivia.

Our little Christmas Tree

Busy Month

I have been really bad at posting, I'm sorry. This last month has been pretty busy. Thanksgiving was really good. My mom and her husband came into town. We don't get to see her as often as we use to since she moved to Cuba, so it was nice to spend a week with her. The kids loved having them in town. They played all day with them. The only down side to Thanksgiving was that I was sick and had no voice.


The week after Thanksgiving Olivia, Keanan, and I got on a plane and went to Denver. There we visited the rest of my family. The first four days we spent it with my grandma and my Aunt Gail. The kids got to play with their cousins Patrick and Iris. We also went to the Zoo with them. My friend Katrina and I took Gail and Ben salsa dancing. That was a lot of fun. I had forgot how much I love dancing.


The last four days we spend at my dads house. My dad took a couple of days off work to spend time with us. One of the days we road the Light Rail into Denver and had lunch on the 16th street mall. The kids just loved that. The other day we went to the park but for the most part we just stayed at the house.


The last night I pick up my sister-in-law and nephew from the airport. I'm so glad I got to see them even if it was only for an hour.


Since we got back in town I have been playing catch up. I've had to do a lot with my calling from church. I have also been trying to get all the Christmas stuff done early this year, but that's not working out as well as I'd hoped.
