End of the year in review!!

Christmas this year was fun!! 

Berkley really liked the advent calendar and decided she needed to eat as much candy as she could until mom busted her! She ended up with about 3/4 of the month gone in about 15 minutes!  But how do you get mad at a face like that! I swear she is cute so she doesn't get beat. 

Santa Clause found out house again this year! The kids got spoiled!  I was super excited this year because everyone still believes!! :) 

Berkley Got a Fisher price Horse Castle , a baby doll and a whole bunch or other toys she didn't need :) 

Whitley got some Monster High Dolls, Beanie Boos and a Karaoke machine... Ryan May or may not be still cussing Santa's logic on that present. But she loves it. But the sound of her and her friends singing  sounds slightly like ferrets on meth. :)

Karden wanted Bon Jovi Cds and ended up with an ipod touch. He was over the moon excited, He was also excited about the guys he got and the comic books. 

We spent New Year Eve at Jon and Sharlyn House. We played some games, Talked, Laughed, ate and Had a great time! At midnight Jon had rigged up a balloon drop.. We did the countdown to midnight and we pulled the string.........Nothing happened. 

Jon went into the garage and got the ladder...

Yeah!!! Balloon Drop... Its okay it was a bit delayed.. 

 The kids had a blast playing with them and all 6 kids made it to midnight!

We toasted with some sparking cider and then called it a night! Welcome 2014.

Whitley celebrated the 100th day of first grade by having to make a tshirt with 100 "somethings" on it. We ended up with 100 pom poms that we made into caterpillars. She loved her shirt and look as cute as ever in it!

We also celebrated Valentines day and got to make a valentines box for Whitleys class. We made her a penguin and it was easy and cute. ( I helped her with this... I am noting this because when she is 30 and says it was her dad that made her valentine boxes I will have proof it was me :) 

We also made the kids classes fun valentines this year out of krazy straw. They were a hit.  Karden didn't get to take a box to school this year and was pretty bummed about it but they still got to have a fun party in class so all was good.

 Karden had the Blue and Gold Banquet for scouts and had to decorate a cake in cowboy theme. He has completed all his requirements for his bear and will be moving to webelos in April.

We went for the sheriff badge and he got the award for the "Most Official Cake". He was so proud of himself! 

The girls had fun at the blue and gold banquet as well. They love to pose for  pictures!

Ryan and I went to Mesquite for the weekend again for the tire convention with his work. This year Becky and Porter came along as well. We had a fun time. We went bowling, played bingo....alot!

 

 Won at bingo...YIPPEE! and spent the night in st George shopping and going to the movies! It was a great weekend. The kids had fun staying at there cousins house as well. It was a win- win for everyone... Well maybe everyone except Dena and Amber who had to be the responsible ones.  Berkley was easily entertained by ambers ipad.

Berkley is officially a big girl now. She is potty trained!! Hooray! It is so nice to not have to change bums or carry a huge diaper bag around. It is also pretty darn awesome to not have to buy diapers anymore!! WooHOO!!

She has not got the concept of not eating your ice cream on the potty.

Whew! The months just seem to fly by but we are now caught up!! :)
