Classic Fun Center...

it's what fun is??? Or is that Lagoon. Anyway my sister-in-law Sarah had been telling me to go to Classic for a while, and I just thought it sounded like a lot of work for me. So we hadn't gone. Then she had her daughters birthday party their and invited us along. Jaycee had so much fun!
We were there for a little over 2 hours and she cried when we left.
Mike's brother and his family came back into town unexpectedly this week so we decide to try Classic again. This time Wesley came along. Which was a little bit more work for me, but he had almost as much fun a Jaycee so it was well worth it. It was so fun to see Jaycee playing with her cousins. They have a Jungle gym, bounce houses, arcade games and ofcourse the skating rink which the kids ride their scooters or bikes on. Wesley even got in on the scooter action. This time we stayed for almost 6 hour!
Jaycee cried again when we left but this time I think it was because she was so tired!

We all got hair cuts last week, Wesley's was getting quite long and hard to handle! Jaycee's was hard to comb through, Mike's wasn't that bad but since the rest of us were getting them done...why not? If he hadn't gone with us he would have had to go within the next week or two. And I am always looking for a change. I don't have any after pictures yet. Mikes been out of town and we really haven't done anything but stay home. So no after pictures...yet. Here are some before pictures.
Here is Mike and Wes. This was a Sunday and the kids were coughing and had runny noses so we stayed home and Mike went to church. So I had time on my hand to get creative with the kids hair.
Wesley is sporting a cute little mohawk.


The best part was his cute little duck tail in back!:)


Jaycee's hair we did straight for the first time.


It is sooo long!

Now she tries to get me to do her hair straight all the time. I'm always telling her her curls are so beautiful.
We left hers pretty much the same, just a trim.
Not much else to report.

Christmas, New Years and Anniversary

Wow, what a jammed pack holiday season! I don't even know where to start. We spent Christmas Eve at Mike's parent house. We do this every year. We eat way too much food play games and open presents.
It's so much fun.
That night we really had to talk to Jaycee about Santa Claws coming to our house. We assured her he wasn't going to stay very long and that she definitely would not see him. So we set him and his reindeer out a little treat, then it was off to bed. Christmas morning was fun. We left the video camera at Mike's parent so at 8:00 am Mike went all the way back to South Weber to grab it, and still made it back before either of the kids woke up. He actually woke them up when he came in the house. Who knows how long they would have slept! So we got the camera set up, went and got the kids then started opening presents like crazy. When we were all finished opening presents Mike went to turn off the video camera and it had died! We also didn't take any pictures with our other camera :( We need a photographer for special occasions. I always forget. Maybe if I had a better camera I would remember to take pictures.:)
I had to make 5 dozen eggs for my family breakfast party. Which I tried to cook all at the same time...bad idea. Then as we were headed to my sisters for breakfast Jaycee said "Mom, it smells like poop." I had to explain to her that it was just the eggs. We had a good time with my family. Then we came home and played with all our new toys. Later, Mike's parents came over and they brought us a surprise! Mike's brother Drew and his family had come in from Washington. We weren't expecting them this year, so that was fun.
We went sledding,


to the Tree House Museum and over to Mike's parents a lot, to play games and just hang out.
New years eve was almost the same as Christmas Eve. A lot of food, games and good company. Jaycee and Wesley stayed up with us this year. And again I didn't take any pictures...boo. On New Years day we went and played games with Trevor and Katie.
It was sad when Mike had to go back to work on Monday. We loved having Mike home, not working.
Yesterday, the 5th was me and Mikes anniversary. After he got off work we went to a movie, "The Tourist", it wasn't that great. Then Iggies for dinner. Then home to play with the kids. :) He gave me 2 beautiful diamond bracelets! And wrote me a wonderful poem. He hasn't written me a poem in a long time. Good evening altogether.
Now here's to hoping things slow down for a little while.

Hats, House and Holidays

It's been awhile since I last posted. Christmas time is so crazy and I've been making hats like a mad woman! I was finally able to get a picture of Wesley with his owl on...he's so cute!
And I've got a few more to show: A monkey, a Kitty in hot pink and a red hat with a flower. I'm working on a Hello Kitty for Jaycee, hopefully she likes it. She always tells me she wants an owl. I guess if she doesn't like it I can always make her a owl.
We got our blank wall finished...actually we did it back in October but I just got around to taking pictures of it and our house all festive.
We are almost ready for Christmas, me and Mike were wrapping everything last week and Jaycee had a mountain of presents and Wesley only had 4. In all reality, I think he will have more fun with the paper and boxes. So I don't feel that bad. I don't know if it is girls are more fun to buy for or that I know what she likes. She's just easier.
I sometimes wonder if I should continue with the blog then I find my kids like this and it's all worth it.

Well, until next time Merry Christmas!
