Sorry so long!

It has been WAY too long since I've updated this. Instead of trying to catch up I am just going to post some recent pics and call it good! :) 

The Easter Bunny brought the boys some kites this year. We took them to a park and sent them on their maiden voyage! 

Alec loved it! He giggled the whole time.

Alec' s 4th Birthday

My big boy turned 4 on the 19th of February. I'm so proud of him! He wanted a pirate party so we got this awesome cake that really looks like a boat. He had a wonderful time and is still talking about it almost a month later. He is turning out to be such an amazing kid!

Sun Valley

I went to work up at Sun Valley on the 31 of January and was up there for nine days. My last three days Jer, the boys and the In-laws came up to see me. It was like a mini vacation! The staff up at Sun Valley we so great! We had a wonderful time. Thank you everyone who helped get them up there! 

Jazz Game

Jer and I had a date night on Monday the 5th. He got Jazz tickets from a friend at work. They were great seats and the game was really good. The Jazz won which makes it even more fun. 

We didn't want to wait in the insane crowd for the Trax train so we walked back to where we were parked. It took about 30 minutes but it was so nice!! Thank you for a wonderful night Jer!

Boarding

We went snowboarding on Saturday the 27th at Brighton. So fun! Thanks Dad!

Christmas

We had an awesome Christmas! Jeremy's little sister Nicki came down from Montana. On the 23rd we went to This Is The Place Heritage Park and the boys got to see Father Christmas. They had a Pioneer style Christmas up there it was so fun!

On the 24th we went to Jeremy's parents house to have Dinner with his Oma and Grandma. We had yummy Honey Baked Ham, opened gifts and played games.

And on Christmas morning we did the run around to Jeremy's parents, his grandma's house and then to my grandma's house. All over the boys were spoiled! 

We had a great Christmas. I hope you all did too!

My brave little man!

Today Alec had some major dental work done. He had to be placed under anesthesia and it was a pretty scary thing for him, but he was very brave. In recovery he pulled out his IV without using his other hand, the smart little bugger! lol He wasn't so keen on the idea of having something to drink, so we had to stay in recovery for quite sometime until he could keep something down. 

He is doing really well right now. He wants to eat all the normal stuff and he can't yet so thats been a bit of a challenge. He says his mouth hurts a little which you would expect after all that. I'm so proud of him, my little boy!

Alec finally eating something, Jell-o!

Christmas Tree

We put our Christmas tree up tonight. The boys have redecorated about 8 times since then. :)

The Wood Family Party

The Saturday after Thanksgiving has always been the Wood Family Party. Four generations of the family get together, we play games, eat good food, and catch up. This year the host was Jeremy's Great Aunt Ann's Family. It was up in Plain City, Utah. We did skits (that explains the costumes in some of the pics) and the kids hit a pinata. Jer's family is awesome! They are the funniest, craziest people I know, and we love them all!

Twilight Opening

The long awaited opening of Twilight was last night! I'm a nerd! I know that, but I loved these books and could not wait for the movie.

I went with a couple of my super close friends! Melissa and i showing off our Golden Tickets. I look like crap, but it was midnight at the movies...

 I'm sorry Churro our pic didn't turn out! :( But I want to thank you my gimpy friend, it was your injury that let us in early! 

Needless to say, we loved it! There were some questionable moments though. LOL. But overall we loved! Thanks for a fun night girls!

They say everything comes in threes...

I just need to vent.

First let me start by saying I am so grateful that my family is in good health. And I know there is always the "things could be worse" saying. And I know there are people with things that are far more devastating. This is just my personal little dilemma and I wanted to get it out.

It just seems like three pretty pricey health items have jumped up and bit us in the butt. 

#1. So those of you who know my family know about Alec and his speech therapy. Well, it's official, insurance won't touch it! So it's all out of pocket. 

#2. Gavin went to the doctor yesterday. He's a big healthy 6 year old. Only small item, he needs glasses. Ok, I can handle it.

and here is the whopper! 

#3. Alec has to have some serious dental work done! We're talking MAJOR! He has to be put under and everything... 

I think Jeremy and I will avoid the doctor for awhile. lol

Trick or Treat!

First I have to thank Cindy, because I forgot my camera. I know, I know... me forget my camera?!? So thank you Cin for snapping some pics of the boys for me! 

Gavin waiting for the fun to begin!

Alec was being such a turkey about having his picture taken that we had to be sneaky!

YeeHaw Cowboy!

Andy & Mal

My close friends from work got married this past weekend. Most of the pictures didn't turn out very well. But here are some of the better ones. Congrats And & Mal. Love you guys!

Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins last night. Alec wouldn't touch the inside, it was so funny. He kept telling us it was scary! It took Gavin a minute but he finally dug in. They turned out so cute!

Our Night

For Jeremy's birthday we got a room at the hotel. It was so nice! Just the two of us! We went swimming and sat in the steam room. We went to dinner at Happy Sumo with two of our friends. It was so relaxing and fun. I love my husband so much! This January will be ten years and I wouldn't have it any other way! I love you baby!!! 

Twilight!

For anyone who doesn't know I am a huge Twilight fan. I found a silly quiz and thought I would share. :)

Birthday Dinner with the Parentals

Wednesday is Jeremy's 26th Birthday, so we went to his parents tonight for dinner and PIE!! 

He loves Grandma's Pie!

Gavin and Great Grandma Wood

Jeremy's Mommy and Daddy love him!

I'm just gonna put this out there...

I LOVE SNOW!!! It's snowing here and I know it's early, but I love it!
