Christmas fun

Okay we did a few activities for christmas. We went to the festival of trees, Deron cared about the lights on the tress and the toys around the tree rather than the actual tree. He did not even go after our tree at home he just would stand there and point to the lights. It was great not to have to worry about him pulling the ornaments off the tree.





We bakes sugar cookies at my moms house. It was an interesting experience with Deron and Kieger. Luckily my brother was there to entertain the boys while my mom, Chantell, Sinead and I baked and frosted. Deron liked to play with the dough and tried to cut out a few cookies but that did not last long.






We went to a family party that Santa Clause came to. Deron got excited when he saw Santa but then Santa walked right by him and he started to get scarred. Then when Santa was a good enough distance away Deron was excited again. He was patiently waiting his time to go up and sit on Santa's lap, or just get a present liek all the other kids. When it was his turn he would not leave Blakes' arms.





Then on Christmas eve we went to Blake's dads' house. Deron had fun with his cousins and got toys that he loves. He got my favorite set of PJ's, Blake calls them his "Hugh Hefner" pj's.

Then he also got his "Woody" figuren, yes he sometimes sleeps with it.





Christmas was great we got up and opened presents. Deron opened a few then just wanted to play with thise and didn't care about the others. We then went my mom's and had breakfast with everyone. Then after this we went to Blake's moms house. Since it was great weather he was able to ride his atv that he got from Grandma Lori and he loves it. (We recorded him opening presents and I can't get it to upload so I don't have any pictures of christmas day.)

Chantell and I were able to take the boys down to St. George last weekend. It was nice to get away even though it was for a small amount of time. The weather was great! He got a bike and was able to ride it. He also saw Gpa putting it together so now he tries to work on it just like Gpa did.

Thanksgiving

For thanksgiving we went a visited Brad my mom in the morning. After a few hours there and Deron helping them cook we went over to Blake's moms' house to eat. Deorn had fun playing with everyone over there. The food was great even though Deron did not eat a lot, which is not new. Blake had to work that night at 10 so we wnet home a little early to let Blake get a nap. Blake had to work all weekend so I decided to take Deron to St. George friday morning and join my siblings.

The drive was great since we left around 7. Deron did great he looked out the window, ate some cereal, and slept for 2 hours. This was a huge change from the last time we went down. It was a great to see Kathy, Bryce and Cherise. The littel boys had so much fun who knew that rocks could be so fun! Kieger loves to put them in his mouth so much that Deron tried to feed him rocks a few times. Then Deron wanted to try them out and see just how good they tasted.

The water fountain is always a huge hit.

Watching a movie with Gpa.
My dad's neighbors have this tee spot to hit golf balls into the hills behind thier house. Deron was so intrigued by uncle Chace hitting the balls he wanted to try. He loved hitting the golf balls.

He was watching where the golf ball went.

Red Rock Relay

So this is very old but finally got around to posting about it. Some friends from work and some of thier friends did the Red Rock Relay from Brian Head to Zions National Park in September. It was so fun there were only a few of us that had ran a race or even ran for that matter. (It was so fun we already signed up to do it again next year!)It does sound crazy to be in a car for 36 hours with no showering and sleeping for as little or as much as you can. Yes, I was the one that slept each time we stopped to sleep.

My first run the temperature was perfect. Well until it started hailing thankfully it only lasted about two miles. I had welts when I was done running. Then our second run was at night. These are my favorite runs they are so peaceful. The last run was the worst. It was in the middle of the day and the temperatures were high that day.

The whole team did great on each of thier runs. We thought we would average 13 minute miles. Well we beat that number by a long shot! We finished in 36.3 hours that is 3 hours before our projected time. It was so fun. Thanks to all my teammates for making this a great race!

Halloween Activities

We did a few halloween activities this year. Deron enjoyed them all. We went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. There was a small corn maze that we went through. Deron was taking everything in and loving it.
We went to my sister's trunk-or-treat. Deron had fun playing all the games and getting the candy. All he wanted to do was play the games. We took the boys into the haunted house that was set up. Deron was giving high fives to the kids that were dressed up. He did not get scared until we had to crawl through a maze.

He would not let me hold him, but of course he let G-pa!

He really would not hold still to take a picture, or he was not a happy boy.


Deron ran away crying when I tried to take thier picture. Kieger was excited.

We went to Gardner village. Deron was scared of the witches that moved, if he got to close he would start to cry. So I just left him in the stroller and he enjoyed that.




This is the fun pumpkin patch we went to right by our house. Deron wanted to pick-up every pumpkin he saw. So it took us awhile to pick out the pumpkins, but we did.




He had tons of fun carving the pumpkins. He is the typical boy, and enjoyed getting the pumpkin guts all over.




He would not sit still long enough for me to take a picture. He was obsessed with the CANDY! Since he never gets candy it was a whole new experience for him.


Yes, in order for him to take a picture we had to have candy by the camera. He really was obsessed, but has not wanted any since that night.
