100 times a day we go through this. Then he makes a sound with his mouth that is supposed to be the sound of pee, then he flushes. Every time we go in a store he wants me to take him into the bathroom to pretend pee but when I take his diaper off to see if he'll really do it, he refuses. Funny boy!

Today we ate cake, set up CJ's Spiderman tent over his bed and had "club" which consisted of stories about Sasquatch and making glasses out of Bendaroos. Love him so much!

It has been foggy and grey here for more than a week so the boys and I made a buttermilk Texas sheet cake and the boys and I sat on the counter and devoured it with forks at 10:45 a.m.

It made us happy!

( I have tried twice to throw away the pants CJ is wearing but the garbage patrol has rescued them. This is his favorite outfit!)

 CJ has the remote all figured out and loves to tell me to come watch the commercial he has paused. He's so funny! This is just another way that CJ entertains me, I just love his little personality. NOTHING gets past him. When we grocery shop he'll see some random product and give me the whole deal as advertised on TV.

Christmas 2008

This was our first Christmas staying at home. It was so fun to spend so much time together as a family and I swear it feels like it was just a few years ago when I was little, waiting at the top of the stairs for the go-ahead to finally go downstairs to the presents. CJ was SO excited. I loved it!
Trey wears his dad's old football wristbands just about every day and when he can't find them, he uses my hair bands. So new wristbands were a hit - he's pointing and telling his dad all about them.
CJ's favorite drink of all time is sparkling cider so he got a stash for Christmas. He said it was the "strangest gift under the tree."
Trey loves his new Wiggles guitar. Yes, he LOVES the Wiggles!

A few days after Christmas we headed down to see our families and as usual, every day was packed with things to do and people to see and we had a great time. CJ and his cousins had a blast sledding.
This is all 13 of them getting towed back to the top of the hill courtesy of Grandpa. They did this for hours!
Then it was back inside for the present exchange.


Nana and Papa gave Toad this awesome little trampoline which I will post about later. Seriously, best gift ever for energetic little boys.
CJ loves to visit his great-grandmas so we spent some time with each of them.
Everytime we leave Utah our car is twice as messy as when we left and jam packed with stuff. This time Grammy sent us home with a box of churros amongst other things. Poor Lucy gets put on top of the pile because that's the only place we ever have room for her.

And when we got home we got another great present. Go Utes!
