Sledding

We've only made it out sledding once so far, but it was a good time as always! Here is my biggest boy!
Carson was so good this year to hike the hill all by himself. He won't let anyone ride with him anymore and doesn't get scared a bit! He is growing up so fast!

Wyatt was the luckiest one who got to ride up and down the hill.

We hope for more sledding adventures to come!

Christmas Pictures

We had a wonderful Christmas. It was so much fun to watch Carson and Wyatt's excitement all day long! Carson's favorite gifts are his Leapster and Bumble Bee helmet and gun. It's kind of funny seeing Carson in this huge helmet. It cracks me up. Wyatt loves his saw and pretty much everything else. He has been fixing up the house and fixing up our owies with his doctor kit. I love getting pictures of the boys in their new clothes. I must get it from my mom.

This is right before church. One of the few Sundays that we have smiles before church, so I had to document it!

They also got new bedding for their bunk beds.
Ya, it took me several tries to get them to smile at the same time. It was worth it though! Merry Christmas!

Fawcett Christmas Party

On Christmas Eve, we had a party at my mom and dad's. After we had a delicious dinner, we had a program. Carson "helped" Grandma play the piano and Wyatt sang "Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer", his favorite song right now.

I am very thankful that my Grandma and Grandpa were able to come be with us. The boys got new pajamas and hats and gloves from my mom and dad. Carson also got a new (and much needed) coat. Wyatt got boots that he won't take off.

The bottom picture is the best one I got of most of the grand kids. It is really hard to get 10 kids together for a picture! We had a great time together! I am very thankful for such great parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews! I love you all so much!

Merry Christmas!

Although I had to work on Christmas this year, I still found time to call Britney and wish her and the boys a Merry Christmas. I also told her how much I missed her and couldn't wait to see her after work. I hope you had a great time anyway honey. I love you.

Merry Christmas!

2 Days Until Christmas!

We are almost ready for Christmas around here! Carson wrote a letter to Santa last night. I think his handwriting is getting pretty good. We are going up to my mom and dad's for their Christmas party tomorrow, and they boys and I are spending most of Christmas day up there. Thanks to my mom and dad for inviting us to stay with them so we don't have to be here alone. We will come home Christmas night when Ryan gets off work to spend some time with him. I think I am more excited than my kids!

Proctor Christmas Party

On December 19, we had our Christmas party with Ryan's side of the family. We played games, ate dinner, the kids performed the Nativity, and the kids opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa. Carson got a Bumblebee Transformer and Wyatt got an Optimus Prime Transformer and a cute little Uno game. Ryan spent the night trying to transform the Transformers. Wyatt spent the night downing cookies. Carson loved playing and rough housing with his cousins.

The Polar Express

Thursday night we boarded the Polar Express! We found our seats toward the back of the train car near the heater. The boys were excited that we got to ride in the caboose. We were off to the North Pole!On the train, we read the story of the Polar Express, drank hot cocoa, ate cookies, and sang songs. Mrs. Claus even joined us to give us a copy of one of her special recipes.
When we finally arrived at the North Pole, Santa Claus hopped on board. He gave all of the children a silver bell. I hope we will always be able to hear it. :)


Soon it was time to go, but fortunately we had these jolly elves to keep us company on the way back.

We got in the car and came home.
I think the train ride tuckered the boys right out.

Thanks to our friends Mariah and Dave for inviting us to come along! We had a very special, memorable night! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Christmas is Coming!

I love this time of year. I love the snow, the music, the decorations, the Christmas Spirit, and yummy foods. I love having things to look forward to and spending time with family and friends.

However, I am not loving my kids fighting EVERY SINGLE DAY! It kind of feels like Groundhog Day over and over with the fighting. Growing up, my mom would say she just wanted us to get along for Christmas or her birthday or whatever holiday it was. Now I know how she feels. That is all I want for Christmas too.

I also am quite bummed that my hubby has to work Christmas AGAIN! I am not looking forward to spending Christmas alone AGAIN. Can't they just lock up the prisoners and cuff them to their beds and tell them they will be back on the 26th? Do I have to pay for other's bad choices? Not to mention Ryan. I know he hates it as much as I do.

I guess I am just feeling a roller coaster of emotions right now. I think I'll just blame it on the hormones!

It's a Boy!

I will not need to change the name of my blog. :) We sure love boys around here!

Must Be Santa

Saturday morning our ward had breakfast and the kids got to sit on Santa's lap. They were so excited to see Santa! I was really surprised that Carson was the one who got a little nervous to talk to him.

Wyatt asked for a yaw (saw).

Carson told me earlier that he was going to ask for a Bumble Bee helmet and gun. When it was his turn, he wouldn't talk, so I reminded him what he wanted to say. I love how excited the boys are about Christmas and Santa. I also love that I can remind them that the elves are constantly watching them so they need to be good!Here is the gingerbread man Carson made to take to preschool tomorrow. He did a pretty cute job!

Exciting News!

We are expecting a baby in May! I am very excited and very nervous and just hoping for a healthy baby to join our family!

Countdown to Christmas!

For FHE on Monday, I decided to have the boys make those candy countdowns so they can have a piece of candy each day until Christmas.We are so excited for Christmas around here, we can hardly stand it!!
