I made the Facebook announcement last week but thought I should blog post....
Stockton and Mckaylee are going to have a little sibling in September! We are super excited and super scared! Stockton and Kaylee have had a rough week with sickness and sassiness. It makes me a little more nervous about adding an infant but I'm so grateful and excited to be pregnant.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

MAN DO I LOVE THESE TWO...& MY FAMILY!!!
We had a great Valentines Celebration. Tay and I went out this weekend. We went and got couples massages, dinner, and dessert. It was a very nice night! The couples massage was amazing...I really could get a massage weekly.

Today on Valentines Day I just cleaned the house and made a yummy meal. We had lettuce wraps and brownie pizza. it wasn't the most romantic night with our kiddos around but loved sitting down eating dinner with my beautiful family. Oh and Tay got my red mango...way better than flowers!!! I'm so blessed with an amazing husband and crazy kiddos!!






HAPPY VALENTINES! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN PEACH MANGO CRYSTAL LIGHT SLURPEES :) AND RED MANGO

it's been awhile...

I haven't blogged in forever! We haven't had a ton going on so this is going to be a random post
My cute little girl is become very much like a little girl. She loves putting on high heels, dress ups, and mostly loves holding and taking care of her baby. It's so cute when she bounces the baby up and down and says "it's ok baby (or olive b/c that's her baby's name), don't cry". So cute!
Their little buddy Nixon. These three little kiddos love each other.
First snowman! Mckaylee wasn't wanting to stay outside very long so it mostly was an effort from Stockton and Daddy. Stockton won't stop talking about it still! "I make snowman with daddy". He was so proud and in his element


Playing at Ikea with our cousin Jane. Please move here. We want to play with you all the time!
Baby shower for Suzy Smith. Suzy had her baby a couple weeks ago and he is seriously the cutest little baby ever!
We started swim lessons at our gym at the beginning of January. They actually did pretty good. By the 4th lesson they really were getting the hang of things (like cute little ice cream scoops, blowing bubbles, kicking, etc...obviously not ready to swim by themselves at all but they had fun)
Last weekend we went on a mini getaway to St. George. We had a great time...with that being said vacations are never relaxing with the kiddos. Putting them to bed at night was a NIGHTMARE! Kaylee climbs out of her pack n play and so Stock didn't want to be in so we decided to sleep with them. It took us 1-2 hours every night to go to bed and we were going to bed so much later than normal. And they never napped (except for me driving them in the car). I never had a break from them. Although we had a great time I was so tired after! We went to a bounce house one day and an indoor pool the next day. The Tonks, the cute couple we went with, have a little boy their age and they loved each other. We just hung out at the house, went out to each, played, etc. I wish we could've had a little more adult time but we had a blast with the kiddos.


we got to see our cousins Lucy and Savannah (aka. lucyvanna) and Jenny. So good to see them! We miss them!
Mckaylee and Dexter hugging

Mckaylee and Stockton are officially 2 1/2 years old now! They are crazy and so fun at the same time. They are so funny with each other and are actually playing pretty good together lately. Stockton loves to lay in our bed and "take a nap" so he always says to Kaylee "Kawee let's take nap" or "let's go nigh nigh". then they tear apart our bed and hide under it. They also love pushing each other in the baby swing, pushing each other down in the tent, play choo-choo's, throwing pillows off the couch and "going bonk" and "i go bonk backwards", hang on the treadmill together, and dance together. I think that's my favorite. They are the cutest little dancers. I love love this stage! Although they are so busy and have SO MUCH energy they are so fun!

my model husband and last christmas party

Pictures from a few Christmas get togethers.....

Ironman Christmas party. All these studly men did the ironman last year and are doing it again this year. Miss Dawn Petitt put on quite a party! I loved hearing all the funny things/ habits about our husbands. Kind of think differently of a few of these guys :) I'm already excited for May for these guys!



Ugly sweater party with tay's highschool/ rugby friends. Truly some of the funniest sweaters I have ever seen!!!
My husband the model
My friend Debbie models and needed a man runner so my cute hubby did it. He's a natural :)

Expectations

CHRISTMAS DAY 2011
The kids were really cute....at first. As a mom you can have expectations and it can be disappointing when they aren't met. Overall the kiddos were great, but they definitely had their moments and weren't as happy with a lot of presents. Next year I am going to simplify! I think less is more...especially this age :) Mckaylee woke up before Stockton so I didn't have presents out. Once Stock woke up I had tay play with the kids downstairs while I set up the presents. I luckily had put together most of them the night before (Tay was sick so he didn't help). They were super excited when they came up but I think they just wanted to play with their toys they saw because they got a little over stimulated and started fighting over everything. For about 45 minutes they were both pretty dramatic and then we attempted church and they were happy but were so hyper and couldn't sit still so we didn't stay very long. We then went to Tay' dad's and they finally were totally happy and the rest of the day was great. We went to my mom's for dinner. There are now 14 grandchildren so it is crazy! The kids have so much fun though and we barely see them while we are there. Even though it's so loud and crazy, it's also pretty dang relaxing for us because we can chill for a minute. It's also fun to have Kristin and her girls in town. I love being with family! That is why I love Christmas time!
Christmas morning opening presents

It's nearly impossible to get a picture of all four of us looking at the camera


Grandpa Brent and Grandma Pam
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Cannon family Christmas Eve party

CANNON FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY
CHRISTMAS EVE

Family party #2. This is one of my favorite party's....we get to wear PJ's, eat lots of dessert, and open funny white elephant presents. We did the party at Paul and Lezlie's and I was a little worried because their house is nice and my kids are tornados but they did really good and were really happy the whole night. The funnest part is the white elephant presents...some highlights were a the little leg lamp, handy panties, hilarious underwear, cat books, collage of Tay, etc. We just laugh the whole time :)

the girls
the boys

this boy doesn't like to eat but you give him whipped cream and he will have it all over his face in a matter of seconds.

Tay's grandparents....Hal and Jane...does it get any sweeter?
Hilarious white elephant presents!

Love this picture of Grandma Jane with Lucy and Savannah

the beginning of family parties

TATE FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY

On friday the 23rd Tay's mom Eileen had us all up for her Christmas party. It was really nice. We just had yummy yummy food (eileen is an amazing cook), kids played and ran around, we did a nativity scene with the reading in Luke, exchanged kids among kids, grandma and grandpa gave kiddos gifts, and then we bathed and had dessert. It was just so fun to hang out with all the other neices and nephews and to see the out of towners...Teddy and Scott, Brock and Jenny and Kelley and Alison. Love having everyone around. I love this time of year for this reason. We are so blessed with such amazing family!
The kiddos love the choo choo train that goes around the Christmas tree

So I think the kids were a little over stimulated...Mckaylee wanted everything from the other kids. She thought all of their presents should be hers :)
This vacuum caused so much drama! We didn't have batteries for it and they kept saying "fix it" "broken" and they both fought over it.
1st family party down....2 more to go :-)

love the holidays!

I love Christmas time! I know my kids are still very young and probably aren't going to remember anything we do with them, but it is so fun taking them to fun holiday activities. They are at such a fun age right now. They will be 2 1/2 in february and I LOVE this stage. Don't get me wrong they can be super naughty and tantruming toddlers, but for the most party they say and do the cutest things. I love their dancing, and running around chasing each other, and their constant desire to repeat as many words as possible. Mckaylee especially is quite the little talker. Love these two!

Our Ward Christmas party....
ZOO LIGHTS
Kids loved this! We weren't there for super long because it was cold but it was such a fun for them to see
