Crazy hair/ Pig out?

Today was Crazy hair day at school for the boys! They do this every year where the kids have Pig out! Which is reading,reading,....reading! Plus the part they (love) dress up days like Pajama day, twin, cowboy and favorite team. They really enjoy going and seeing everyone else done up, it really makes the reading to them the only fun part!

I read so much as a kid I couldn't keep the library fresh with new books. I still love to read and find it sad that my kids despise it so much! It makes me guilty like I did something wrong as a parent. So I started reading to Ledger the best thing I can do for him! I can hope right. We are working on the others and I am hoping eventually one will become a reader like me!

The schools to me push kids to read to early these days, and takes away the joy out of reading for fun. I really wish they didn't have so much pressure sometimes.
I am really pushing and hoping they will learn to read it is my new goal to accomplish!

Here they are going to school! Brendan had half green, orange and just plain messy hair!
Treyton did his Mohawk and wanted it sprayed red, then one side green and the other orange!
Darling they were so excited to go today I love days like this!


Here is them last year I never got around to posting so I wanted to add it here! They have changed so much in just a year!

CheeseCake Factory!

I love to eat out and try different places, all thanks to Leonard who always had to drag me into restaurants to try things that I just knew I wouldn't like! Boy was I way(WRONG)!!! I have always been a picky eater and little by little he is changing that. So now I am pretty good about trying things and have gone to many different places and it really makes eating out so much more exciting!

My all time favorite desert is cheesecake! It is literally to die for...better than chocolate.... and absolute heaven on my list! Something about it just makes you feel so much better to me there is know other desert better than it!

I worked at Little America and to this day they have the best cheesecake!! Ever! Every once in awhile my sweet Leonard will stop and get me a piece on his way home from work for a surprise! I love it more than anything so sweet!!

So I have wanted to eat at the Cheesecake factory for quite a few years LOL crazy huh what took me so long! Its in Salt Lake and we usually go to Ogden, and the one other time we went to try it the line was so long and the boys were starving that I caved and left!

But finally yesterday day out shopping with Mom I made a plan we were going there and waiting in line no matter what! She was all for it and excited we went and shockingly there was no line and we got in right away its beautiful in there, the menu is a manual or book full of delicious food with tons to choose from and it was so yummy! We had Avocado egg rolls, bread, fancy chicken Parmesan, and Reese's Pieces cheesecake! I have to admit the cake was not my favorite, but I am going back for my birthday and having the traditional best piece of cheesecake ever I hope!!!

Mom, me and Ledger had fun going from fabric stores to craft stores all day! We even found a knew one to hit that we had never been to before~! With tons of fabric to choose from and loads of patterns very great find!!
I loaded up on towels, buttons, and she got materials to make her Leprechaun's. That are going to be the cutest yet I just know it! I will post him when I get mine!
It was a great day and I Love the cheesecake factory it is without a doubt going to have a run and coin toss now with my all time favorite Pf Chang's!
I can't wait for my birthday!!!

Fifteen and 16 months!

So with December being crazy hectic I didn't get to blog about Ledger's fifteenth month so I decided I better soon!
***Ledger is such a busy busy little guy we don't know where he gets all the energy from! I swear we have hit the terrible two's aka already and up until this day I never would have believed that they existed! My other boys never did the things he does!
He is our wild child without a question!
He is really smart and already lets us know things he wants in his own way! His sippy cups are in the bottom cupboard which is now child locked...but he still goes to it and yanks here here when he is thirsty or wants a drink its really cute! He loves to go bye bye and when we ask him if he wants to go he runs to the door and grabs his shoes and brings them to you. Then he will go back and get yours and coats if you take longer than he likes. It is so fun to ask him to go he gets so excited I love it!!!
So here are his favorite things to do anymore!
Walk or run away fast with toothbrushes, paste, lotion whatever he knows he can't have he is all for it and runs with it when you say no and have to chase him down to get it back giggling all the way he thinks it is such a fun game! Grrr not mom!

He thinks that the mops and vacuums are the neatest things in the world! I finally got my wish a maid ha ha ha!! But even though he don't clean allot he sure is fun to watch try we get a kick out of it!

He also loves dog food yup I guess I really am the worlds worst cook if he prefers to stuff his mouth full of it every chance he gets! It is now always on top the dryer but he sneaks a few when he thinks your not watching!
YUCK! YUCK! I am sure we all tried cat food or dog aka sand in our lives!

Well your probably guessing whats next right?? Well we had to lock the garbage can up also in the laundry room. Another wonderful yummy thing he just won't stay out of!

So goes my days!

He loves to hang with the boys all of them! He sits on the couch and steals there remotes, hats, and goodies laughing all the time! He is starting to also enjoy watching TV we can get him to settle down for a good thirty minutes its a miracle!

He has also learned to say a few more words! No...Shut..UP...not to proud of that one but what can you do! He says Brendan, box and (ath) for Bath!

He loves loves bath time and lays his body out till he is just floating on his back looking at the ceiling content as can be! Its probably one of his favorite times of the day! Its really cute how much he loves the Water! Reminds me of that Brad Prasley song (Water) it is so CUTE!

We are working on teaching him his eyes, nose, etc... he knows where mine are just not his yet! He has also graduated from his baby swing to his crib for naps and bed! It is so nice to lay him down and have him take a nap for two hours in the day! He would only take about 30 in the swing so I really think he is happier and so are we!

So here we are close to starting seventeen months! I want him to stay this age forever! He is so cute learning new things and talking! He is without a doubt are cute little MoNsTeR!!!!

My hobbies!

I love..!.. love..!... to sew and every holiday I try and make a new decoration for the house and decided to add these to my blog!
They are special to me and make the holidays funner to have them around! Me and my mom made these together. I really like the teal and brown with pink its really becoming my favorite color! I am glad January is almost over and February is almost here winter months are going by slowly but things are looking up! Love is in the air and snow is melting yeah!!! Happy February!

Three Reasons to Smile!

Happy New Year!
It's been a memorable New Year with some neat dates to start the year off! (1-1-2011) officially New Years Day and it was my best friend's Cindy (Cyn) birthday I bet it was a very special day for her this year! We even had 1-11-2011, allot of people celebrating the dates and are getting married on these memorable dates in history and many are having babies on this neat really unique day's if all possible!

The boys been having so much fun in the snow this year! We got so much before Christmas that we have mountains in back to climb on. But there favorite thing to do is beg Dad for sleigh rides with the four wheeler. Even the neighbor girls join in on the fun!
My dad used to take us out and pull us with his truck on tubes he blew up! I wish I could go back for a day and be a kid sometimes we really had so many great times!

Leonard pulls them around as much as he can before he needs to rest, his back is still healing and not completely fused so he must take it pretty easy.

But when he is ready the are so excited!
Little Ledger stands by the door just a watching and waiting for dad to come give him a ride. He waves and gets his shoes for me here here begging to put on then goes for his coat he such a smart little boy!
He loves the four wheeler also and cries when it is time to stop!
Aww its just the beginning of our New Year 2011!!!

Happy Birthday Leonard!

Leonard's birthday was December 27Th two days after Christmas! He had quite the end of year with back surgery due to a recurring herniated disc.
The surgery was 6 hours long and another hour in recovery before I seen him. It was a emotional day praying his back surgery would go well he decided on bolts and screws to have it fuse instead of removing herniated bulge like he had once before.
There are many complications or risks that can occur, I was terrified waiting and waiting with little Ledger in the waiting room and short drives to kill time.
Surgery was a success we are very very lucky, the doctor said surgery went very very well and he had high hopes he was going to do great and have most of the pain gone. He is doing so well and on the way to healing, no longer needs his walker and dressing himself again, things are going great it takes 4 to 12 months for the bones to fuse so he has to be good for at least a year and take things easy.

He turned 32 this year and with not being able to do much I got him a PS3 game... I'm still not sure if this was a good idea since all three of them are glued to the TV now, but I didn't have a clue what else to get!
We had a nice dinner with Chicken Parmesan and chocolate snickers cake! My parents came over and celebrated with us, due to him not feeling the best he didn't want a big party. He got tools to cut up his next elk aka deer, and clothes.
I can't believe 32 is already here. So young to have his back in so much pain. The leg pain he had is gone and things are starting to look up. He hates his picture taken so I am lucky to have gotten a few!
Happy Happy Birthday I love you!

Merry Grinch..mas

The Grinch was a perfect theme this year it really fit my mood this year! One day I was happy and excited the others days just wanted to skip it all together. It was sad and I tried my best to have the kids have a fun Christmas.

They were so excited Leonard got to come from the hospital by luck the day before and they were bouncing off the walls for Santa coming and presents that night and morning. They tore into there gifts from grandma and grandpa Larsen. Treyton was so happy he got his skate park!!! Brendan got a God of War Lego and couldn't be more thrilled, also a new ca mo coat for hunting. Ledger got a walking music toy that had a phone his one true love phones!
For Christmas eve I found the cutest Grinch shirts and Jammie's for Ledger they looked so cute all matching.
We warned them to not get out of bed until at least Five ha ha I wasn't doing the 2 am Christmas again.

Teddy Bear Christmas

Brendan decided this year he wanted to be in the school play I was completely shocked that he did but said go for it! He had a list of parts to chose from then try out for, he wanted to be Santa but they changed that part to a real Santa Claus so he settled for a toy soldier..he liked there swords. He went for four weeks every Tuesday to practice and really enjoyed it!
The play was based off a Children's book called a Teddy bear Christmas its a really cute book and Cindy Taylor did a great job making it into a play!

The play day came and he was so excited getting his costume on and having so much fun at rehearsal in the dressing room and treats with the other kids!

We almost missed the play there was a really bad Snow storm and the kids were out on a Snow Day woohooo~! We woke to no power and bad blowing cold snow~ It was kinda scary bad wind..snow and no power. It didn't come back on till around 9 that day.
The lady in charge luckily got permission and got the play back on for the evening or we would have missed it! Due to Leonard's surgery for his hurt back was in the next few days and due to the weather and dangerous roads we decided to head down a day early to Utah his surgery was scheduled at 6 am a very early start we didn't want to risk driving on bad roads at 4 am.

Our little actor did really well the play was darling it really made the holidays better for how terrible they were going for me!

He hated the red cheeks and rubbed them off before we got home. It was snowing truly looked like a winter wonderland the Christmas lights on the houses looked amazing buried in snow. Trees iced over it was really just beautiful and to me a White Christmas!



Our White Christmas even though it was two day early it was so so pretty. The boys built this Snow man with Leonard and then built a 12 ft one I didn't get a very good picture of him darn it but it was huge they used the fork lift to pick up the balls to stack! They are having snow much fun! LOL!


This is there Snow Men one was 12ft tall!
