Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve was spent at the Borgstrom. 

It is always fun to watch the kids do the nativity.

This year we made a little 1 minute video using still shots. We had a lot of fun, who knew it would take so much time to make a 1 minute video. Again Mike is the fun parent for sure. It just sounded like a lot of work to me.

I also was able to talk Mike into playing a duet on the piano with me. He's such a good sport!

The kids love and look forward to getting their pajamas.

Grandma and Grandpa gave us the Nest doorbell and a Google.

Christmas as a parent is the best. Jaycee and Wesley were both helpful this year and had fun making it fun for Bensen and Vivian.

From Santa Jaycee and Wesley got electric scooters, Bensen got a remote control Mario, and Vivian got a pretend make-up kit.

After we opened presents we headed over to Bailey's for Breakfast and more presents.

Grandpa said to Vivian the other day "Hi Sweetie Weetie". She turned to Bensen and said, "He called me "Teetie Weetie". It was pretty funny. She also thinks it's funny that Grandma calls her Baby Cakes.

 Grandma and grandpa gave each family a hoverboard!

Christmas this year was pretty great. We spent time focusing on the Savior, spending time with family, and playing in the snow.

October Catch Up

In October we went to a lot of soccer games.

We enjoyed watching Jaycee this year, she has a great team and coach, and has had a lot of fun.

She even got to play against Paige a few times.

This year Bensen became obsessed with Mario.

That is where the idea for our costumes came from.

I thought Vivian was going to love being Princess Peach. She loves all things girly, especially dressing up. She would have none of it. Luckily Jaime had two Yoshi costumes because she wanted nothing to do with Princess Peach.

I thought for sure she would change her mind with all the times we dressed up, but she never did.

It is always nice when all the Borgstrom cousins can be together. They have so much fun.

Grandma LouLou's parties are always fun!

It is always pretty crazy when all the Bailey's get together.

It's a good thing Joy's house is so big, they have a lot of room to fun around!

This year I swore I was just going to do a little trick of treating and then go home to pass out candy.

Well, that didn't happen. The kids were animals! 

 They all got really good candy, I couldn't believe it, there was so much chocolate! I think there was maybe 5 tootsie rolls in the whole lot!

I forgot to mention that Wesley was a good sport for our family parties and wore his Yoshi costume, but he really wanted to be a pile of leaves! I sent Mike to the store to pick up supplies to make said pile of leaves. He decided it would be cheaper if Wes wanted to be Groot instead. Wes agreed that Groot was pretty cool so I feel like we all won. 😊

We had a fun Halloween and I'm already thinking about what we can be next year.

Happy Birthday Wesley!

Wesley had his first friend party. He chose to go to The Rush.

They played laser tag, climbed walls, jumped into pits and bounce houses.

 Then we went to bumper cars and go carts.

 We played Astro Blasters then some more laser tag. They were having so much fun they didn't want to leave!

But our time was up. So we headed to the nearest park to have pizza, cake and open presents.

 Overall I think the party was a success!

On Sunday we celebrated at the Borgstroms. Wesley requested pumpkin bars for his cake.

His birthday was on Monday. After school he opened his presents then he chose to go to Chuck-a-Rama for dinner.

Wes is very stubborn! He doesn't love giving hugs or saying he loves you, but when he's not thinking about he likes to snuggle up next to you. He likes Lego's, building anything really, riding his bike, and playing on the iPad and Wii U. He is very smart and does really good in school. He likes art, drawing, painting, and coloring. He's pretty awesome and we sure love him.

Trevor and Katie are Building a Cabin!

Trevor and Katie bought some land a couple of years ago.

They poured the foundation last year.

This year they got logs! It's been pretty exciting!

 The kids love to go up and "help".

 Mike has gone up a couple of weekends to help out.

 It has been pretty fun seeing it all come together.

I can only imagine how fun it is for them to see it all come together.

Vivian loves it up there too!

It is fun getting to work together, but it will be nice when we can just go up and relax and enjoy that beautiful view!
