Oh ho ho ho...

look what we have at our house...a fun little elf to help the crazy cute Mitchell kids stay on the nice list. His name is BUDDY. I absolutely love the kids' reactions when they wake up, look around for him, and find what silly things he's been up to. Here are a few of our "buddy" favorites so far....

He drew McKall some fairy wings, gave her a wand and wrote BE GOOD.
He made Wyatt a pirate with a cool sword, eye patch and an ear ring. He wrote LISTEN TO MOM AND DAD.
He made Easton into a little monkey and wrote ME LOVE NANAS


Playing with the legos on Wyatt's bed. Where's Wyatt you ask??? Oh no worries, he's nestled in our bed.  Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy it now while he's little, but sometimes Chandler and I have a hard time enjoying getting slapped in the face and the covers kicked off of us. ha ha! We still love you Wyatt!!


His arrival. He brought snow covered donuts and yummy hot chocolate from the NORTH POLE.


Buddy went away for one night cause the kids were being little/big stinkers. That next day they were angels, ok maybe not that good, but man they changed their attitudes very quickly when they found out he was gone. He brought back "grinch floats" (we've had one almost every night since, they are delish) and a movie cause they were so good.


"BUDDY ROCKS"


McKall's favorite so far and "she's NOT ever taking them down." He made the biggest mess though...the little stink. ;)


Card game with Mickey and Buzz...

Thanksgiving

This year we spent our Thanksgiving in Cedar City at Jason and Krista's new home. We had such a good time. Now the kids talk nonstop about Cedar City and how they want to move there...Ha ha! We started off with an amazingly delicious dinner then the ladies headed out to do a little black Friday/Thursday shopping. The next day we went to the aquatic center, it was awesome! Then a little later that night we headed to St. George to the Tuacahn where they had "Christmas in the Canyon." Talk about fun times...we played games, ate, laughed, ate some more, and just enjoyed each others company. What a fabulous Thanksgiving and a big thanks to the Steiner's for letting us all come stay.






King of the bump in the pool...


SANTA!!!





This says, "I had the best Thanksgiving because I went to my cousins. I went to the two a con."
So CUTE!!


The Live Nativity.

7

November 17th was McKall's big day. She turned 7. We went to a baptism preview just before her birthday, it made her super excited to be baptized next year. I kind of wish it would have been closer to her 8th birthday so she could remember all the good stuff just before her baptism, but it was great and she can't wait.
The day after her birthday, Chandler and I took her to toys r us and then to dinner. She got an "easily" bake oven and some lego friends. She loved every minute of being the only child with mom and dad on her special day. We had the best shakes, we giggled, and had lots of fun. She's a big help to me and I couldn't ask for a more sassy, moody, sweet, big hearted little lady to be my partner in crime. I love this 7 year old of mine.....



She can make some "huge" cookies with this thing. LOL! They are fabulous!


All she wants for Christmas....HA HA!!


She wasn't feeling the greatest. She got a horrible headache at school and had to come home towards the end of the day, thankfully. I think she was just far too excited, I mean who isn't on their big day? She said to me on our way to school, "I just can't believe it's finally here!" Ha Ha! Her teacher makes them feel so special on their birthdays.


Sippin on milk shakes.


She thought this was the coolest thing ever....

Halloween

The kids got a ton of candy this year...makes me cringe just thinking about what the next dentist visit will bring. Probably didn't help that we took them to the "Halloween town" thing Nephi puts on. They got so much candy but they had fun!

Enjoy some pictures of a Popstar cowgirl, The Hulk, and a crazy little monkey....

Cornbelly's

We went to Cornbelly's on Friday. The kids would have stayed all night if we would have let them...they had a blast! We'll for sure be back next year.

Even bigger SLACKER!

Holy shizzle my nizzle it's been a while. I told myself after getting behind last time that I wasn't going to let it happen again....ya right. I say this day in and day out, but where oh where does the time go??? We had a fun summer. We did lots of fun things. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. But before pictures I HAVE to tell how the kiddos are doing....

 McKall aka toothless, started 1st grade this year. WOW....I'm old!! She loves: riding her bike, being a big sister, primary songs (esp. the rainbow song), singing in the shower, dancing, reading, the color red, Mrs. Dyreng, tomatoes, the mirror, playing outside, root beer, coloring, and being a little drama queen. On Wednesdays I get to help in her class. It's fun, she loves it, and I get to see how she's doing.

 Mr. Wyatt started his 2nd year of preschool. He loves: hunting with his dad and the Lunt boys, Mrs. Blackett, riding his bike, being a big brother, sprite, The Lorax movie, hanging out with "crapa Rod", the color blue, doing front flips on the tramp, bedtime stories, playing baseball, whining, popcorn, his blanket, and anything the Lunt boys are doing. He is getting really good at writing his name and is one smart little dude.

 Easton aka the happiest baby ever, started his journey as a 1 year old on Sept. 28th. Wait what??? No really though, where did that time go??? It makes me sad how fast he is growing. He is such a sweet baby. I could kiss his cheeks all day long. He loves: walking all over the place, hollering DAAAAAAA (dad, at the top of his lungs), baths, Buzz & Woody, eating anything and everything, his binky and blankie, dancing, going for walks, being outside, the swing, and just trying to keep up with the other two. At his 1 year check up he weighed 23 lbs. 8 oz. and I cant remember the rest, but he's healthy. ;)

These three keep Chandler and I busy busy but we wouldn't have it any other way. We are all doing fabulous and just enjoying the last few weeks of being able to play outside.
I'm still trying to figure out how to upload the pictures from my phone straight to blogger....wish me luck.
