Happy New Year 2012!

We ended up celebrating the New Year with the kids this year. We had so much fun and made Fondue for dinner! The kids had a blast eating the Fondue with their little fondue forks. After dinner, we let the kids set of some poppers to celebrate the new year!! It was fun to see them get so excited! After each firework they would yell, "Happy New Year!" 

For dessert, we opted out of doing our traditional Chocolate Fondue and I made a delicious Fruit Pizza. It was a nice light dessert to such a filling dinner. 

We are looking forward to what 2012 has to offer! We hope that it will be a great year!!

Christmas Sunday 2011

Christmas fell on Sunday this year. I know that that doesn't happen very often but it was a nice change to celebrating Christmas. After presents were opened, we got The kids ready in their new Sunday clothes. They looked so cute! We decided to take a few pictures of our little family before heading off to Sacrament Meeting. Sacrament Meeting was really nice and it was a really nice way to spend Christmas Morning focusing on the true meaning behind Christmas- Christ.

Christmas Morning 2011

Kaleb and Karmindy surprised us and didn't wake up til around 8 am on Christmas Morning! We attributed it to staying up late the night before and partying with Aunt Tiffany and Kenley. The kids were really so excited to open their gifts and kept oooing  and awwwwing over all the packages under the tree. They were also so excited to see what Santa brought them. This year Kaleb wanted Santa to bring him a Star Wars Lego Game for the Wii. We have some friends that let us borrow their game before Christmas and Kaleb was obsessed with it. 

Kaleb and his game! I forgot to take a picture of him after he opened it!

Kaleb was so excited to find out that Santa kept his promise of bringing him the game! He also asked for more Legos. These two items were his only request and he was so glad to find them under the tree. Kaleb also got a RC Plane so he could go and fly with his daddy at the park. 

Kaleb's RC Plane!

Halo Legos!!!

Karmindy was so funny this year and told us that she wanted a puppy. Even though Kozy-our shihtzu- is now apart of our family she still wanted a puppy. Karmindy had seen a Fur Real Puppy at Wal-Mart during one of our shopping excursions and wanted it. She was positive that Santa would follow through and would always tell us when we asked her that Santa was bringing her a white puppy that barked and had a pink collar! :D 

Santa is such a good man and delivered! 

Karmindy also got a 8 pack of Toy Story Action Figures for Christmas. She is obsessed with all things Toy Story and was so excited to get some Toy Story Toys and has been playing with them everyday since she got them! She also got some "Jessie Boots" (pink cowboy boots), and an RC Strawberry Shortcake Car.

The kids got spoiled and got a lot of other fun gifts from Grandpa's and Grandma's. 

We also surprised the kids with a Trip to Walt Disney World!!!

I made them these shirts to wear! They were so excited!

We have been saving up to take the kids to Disneyland but after I found some awesome deals on flights and on a hotel in Florida, we decided to book the trip. It will end up being almost as expensive as taking the kids to California. We decided we couldn't pass on taking the kids back to where we enjoyed spending time on our Honeymooon 8 years ago! 

Our Christmas was a wonderful one! We were truly spoiled with material goods, but most importantly we are truly spoiled with the knowledge of the Love that our Savior has for each of us! We are truly grateful for his birth, life, example and for the Atonement!

 Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve 2011

Our Christmas Eve was a fun and magical one this year! Kaleb and Karmindy were both old enough this year to truly understand what Santa and the Christmas Season was all about! We tried to do some fun things as a family during the month- Christmas Lights at Thanksgiving Point, Riding the Train at the Mall, Going to see Santa twice even though both times he ended up going on break or the line was freakishly long (the kids just enjoyed seeing him), and making yummy Sugar Cookies to eat!

On Christmas Eve, we were lucky to have Aunt Tiffany  and Kenley come over and celebrate the evening with us. We had a yummy Christmas Eve dinner which consisted of Steamed Crab, Honey Ham, Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce, rolls, Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce and some delicious Pies!!

After dinner we opened presents, watched some Christmas Cartoons- Grinch and Prep n' Landing and then enjoyed getting into our New Christmas Jammies. The kids were so excited and it was so fun to see their excitement. Even Kenley who was just barely two enjoyed spending the evening with her cousins and fed off their excitement.  It was so nice to spend the evening as a family and share it with my baby sister Tiffany and my darling Niece.

 Kaleb, Kenley and Karmindy wearing their new Jammies!

Kaleb and Karmindy getting ready to open their New Jammies!

After Kenley and Tiffany headed home, the kids set out Cookies and Milk for Santa and scattered Karmindy's Reindeer food out on the Lawn for Santa's Reindeer. The kids were so excited that they didn't get to bed til 9:30pm. That is late for our kids. Once they were finally in bed they were out!! Everyone knows You gotta get to bed early before Santa Can Come!!

Girls Afternoon!

I am so fortunate to have always been blessed with good friends. Good Friendships mean so much to me and they are something that I truly value and cherish. There is nothing better than knowing you have a Good friend that is there for you through thick and thin. I know that previous sentence sounds corny but it is true to who I am.

This past week, me and one of my besties decided we were in need of a break from the mundane of life's responsibilities and decided to take our girls to the mall, for lunch and to let our girls ride the carousel. Karmindy and Emilia are the same age and love playing together. They are also in the same Pre-School class. Karmindy has truly made some good friends in her Pre School this year- Avery, Emilia and Grace. I love that she enjoys doing different things with each of her friends!

I love these pictures of our little Girls' Afternoon!

 Karmindy on the Horse!

 I love this Picture. These two little girls are not lacking in personality! They are both fiesty and strong headed! I am looking forward to their tween and teen years! They will keep us moms on our toes!

Cute and Sassy Emilia!

Decorating Ginger Bread Houses!

This year I have had the opportunity to volunteer in Kaleb's first grade class and help out every other Wednesday. Normally, I read with the kids to see how they are progressing but sometimes I get to help with little craft projects or odds and ends that his teacher needs finished. I truly love working with the kids and enjoy spending some time with Kaleb. In addition to the two times I helped out in Kalebs class during December, I was also one of the lucky parents that got to go and help the kids decorate Gingerbread houses! It was so fun to go and help and spend a little extra time with Kaleb. Kaleb's classmates were so excited to make their gingerbread houses and you could just tell how excited they were for Christmas to arrive. I had so much fun helping Kaleb's table and Kaleb. The kids were so creative and it was so fun to see Kaleb's creativity as well. Kaleb was so proud of his finished Gingerbread House! He is getting so excited for Christmas!!! Boy, do I love my little boy! He makes being a mom a wonderful Experience! I couldn't be more proud!

Polar Express Christmas Party

Like I have jotted down before, Karmindy is truly loving Pre-School this year! She has a fabulous teacher and enjoys seeing her 3 little girl friends every Tuesday and Thursday! Before Pre School let out for Christmas Break, her cute teacher threw a Polar Express Christmas Party. The kids were given a Polar Express Train ticket so they could ride the pretend train to the North Pole. 

 My Sweet Girl so excited to Go to Her PreSchool Party! I sure love my little Princess!

Also, everyone was encouraged to wear their Jammies to head to the North Pole. Karmindy was truly so excited for her Christmas Party!! She had such a fun time with her class mates and enjoyed all the fun little activities with her class! They made reindeer food to Give to Santas Reindeer on Christmas Eve, drank Hot Chocolate and played games. Karmindy came home with a lot of loot from her teacher and Classmates! She had a fabulous time!

All I want for Christmas...

Is a CELL PHONE!!?

I had to write down this little conversation that I had with Kaleb before I forget. I thought it was pretty funny, and I am very amazed at how his little mind works at the age of 6! Should I be worried for what is to come? Yikes. This particular conversation takes place a few weeks before Christmas and was one that I didn't think that would need to address until he was a teenager. 

Kaleb: "Hey Mom!" I know what I want for Christmas this year!"

Me: (In excited tone) "What's that?"

Kaleb: (In excited tone) I want a CELL PHONE!!

ME: (me in utter disbelief) "Kaleb, you don't need a cell phone, you are 6 years old!" "What are you going to do with a cell phone?"

Kaleb: "Well, I would use my phone to call you during lunch or recess to say Hi and tell you that I missed you!"

Me: (at this point I am just touched and feeling like awww, my son loves me...also feeling like I am walking on cloud 9!) Kaleb that is really sweet to think you would want to call me while you are at school but you don't need a cell phone, not until you are a lot older....

"ME: (Curiously thinking and wondering to myself what the real reasoning behind wanting a cell phone) "What else would you do with your Cell phone if you had one?"

Brace yourselves for the real reason behind my son needing a cell phone folks!

Kaleb: Well I mostly want a cell phone so I can play ANGRY BIRDS!

ME: (All feelings of being loved and appreciated by my 6 year old go right out the window.... totally feeling like my son loves playing Angry Birds more than he loves his mom? PRICELESS! :D

Giggle, Giggle, Giggle.

This conversation still makes me smile!! 

Fun with Cousin Kenley!

My little sister Tiffany moved to Murray the middle of November with her little girl Kenley. Tiffany got a job with Sutter Physician Services and is also working in Murray. It makes it so nice because her work, daycare for Kenley and her home are all with in a few  miles of each other. During the first few weeks while she was living up here, I watched Kenley for a couple of weeks so Tiffany could focus on getting settled into work, her house and get other things like daycare figured out. 

Kaleb and Karmindy have truly enjoyed having their little cousin Kenley close by. They really enjoy playing with her and I know that she enjoys playing with them. They continually ask when Kenley is coming over. Karmindy loves Kenley but also got pretty jealous of her as well during those two weeks that I watched Kenley. Karmindy was not used to having to share mommy with anyone else during the day while we watched Kenley (Kaleb was at school during the day). Even though there were moments of contention, these two love each other and played with each other so well.

On the last Friday before Kenley went to day Care, as a special treat, I took the kids to the South Towne Mall in Sandy, Utah to ride the train and play in the Dinosaur park that they have there in the mall. The kids had fun spending the afternoon with their little cousin. 

It has also been nice to have Kenley live close by so I could spoil her. I haven't had a chance to live close by any of my nieces or nephews so I have also really enjoyed having my little niece live closer. I am truly so excited to have my baby sister and my niece live closer to us now!!

One Cute Chick and her Turkey Hat!

Putting Karmindy in Pre-School this year has proved to be a good for her. I was hesitant on putting her in for two years of preschool but I did it in hopes of that she would learn to be a little less shy. She has been learning so much the past 4 months! I have definitely noticed a huge improvement in her social skills, as well as, her knowledge of  the colors, alphabet and numbers. She truly is learning so much and loves her teacher "Mrs. Heather." Whenever we drive by Mrs. Heather's house, Karmindy will yell out, "There's Mrs. Heather's House!" It is very cute! Karmindy has also loved being in preschool with 3 of her friends: Avery Hawkins, Emilia Pidcock and Grace Van Leeuwen. One of Karmindy's favorite thing is doing the art projects in class- she is so proud of her work. It is always so fun for me to see her race out to the car after preschool is over and proudly waves her artwork for me to see. Today, she came out proudly wearing her cute Turkey Hat! She looked so cute! I wish that I could have gotten some video of her and all her classmates marching out through the gate with their hats on. It was so darling. When she got home I had to snap a few photos of her wearing her hat. From the picture above you can tell that the newness of wearing the hat had worn off and she wanted to take it off but kept it on for her mom to take pictures. How dare I put the "princess out!" :D She was a good sport! November is a month to remember your blessing and I am certainly grateful for my "Cute Chick!!"

Giving Thanks!

All who know me know that I love the Holidays! I love decorating my home, doing little things for my neighbors and Friends and spending time with my little family doing fun activities. The Holidays gives me something to look forward to. As soon as Halloween was over I couldn't wait to get my Thanksgiving Decor up. I always feel that Thanksgiving gets skipped over in the stores. There never seems to be all that many decorations for a Holiday that I wish we spent more time as a Society celebrating. A group of women in my neighborhood get together for a craft night about every month and we made some Halloween and Thanksgiving Banners. I made my Thanksgiving one and hung it up on my fireplace mantle. I thought my Thanksgiving Mantle turned out cute!

Since it is the month of Thanksgiving and there are 30 days in the month. I thought I would write down 30 things that I am Thankful for!

1. I am thankful for my Father in Heave and also for my Brother and Savior Jesus Christ and his ultimate sacrifice for my imperfections that I may live with my Heavenly Father and my family for eternity.

2. I am grateful for my Sweet Husband. He is my best friend and he is always there for me! He is always lending a listening ear, building me up and is a wonderful dad and provider for our family!

Even though most days are hard and very physically/emotionally taxing I  learn new things each day by being home with them.

5. I am thankful for loving friends and family. I have truly been blessed with good friends/family in my life. They have supported me through thick and thin and have been there for me in my darkest hours.

10. I am thankful for a Loving Savior who knows me and knows my weakness and struggles but still forgives me and is there for me when I am down. I know that I can go to him at any time through prayer.

11. I am thankful for Temples. Since living in Riverton, we have been blessed to be able to see 3 temples daily from our home. The Jordan River temple, Oquirrh Mountain Temple and Draper Temple. I am grateful for the blessings of the temple ordinances. I am also grateful that we live so close to several so that my kids can see them on a daily basis and be reminded of that they can go there someday!

Halloween 2011

I can't believe that October is winding down! What a fun month we have had as a family. It has been  so nice to have Kaleb home for most of the month(off track-school), so we could get out enjoy the beautiful fall weather, as well as participate in some fun family outings. It has been so fun to see the kids get dressed up in their costumes and enjoy all of the activities this month. Kaleb wanted to be a knight this year, Karmindy wanted to be a princess, I dressed up as a witch, Mark dressed up as a creepy warlock and I dressed up Kozy as a flying monkey/dragon. It is truly so much fun to see the kids get so excited  and enjoy the Holidays. I am pretty sure they get their enthusiasm for holidays from me! I hope they always have fond memories of the holidays and remember that their mom made it fun for them!

 Our Halloween this year was a laid back one. Mark went to work, Kaleb to school and Karmindy and I just chilled at home. For dinner I made Navajo Tacos and we had an Apple Crumble Pie for dessert. After dinner, the kids got into their costumes (so did Mark) and off they went to trick or treat around the neighborhood. I stayed home with Kozette and we answered the door for the cute trick or treaters. The kids got a haul of candy and really enjoyed themselves! After the kids went to bed, Mark and I raided the kids stash and watched the old 1980's movie, "Watcher in the Woods!" It was as good as I remember it... just not as scary now! :) Halloween is truly one of my favorite Holidays! We hope all our friends and family enjoyed your Halloween Holiday! 

Carving Pumpkins

This year we decided to carve our pumpkins the night before Halloween so they wouldn't get moldy and shriveled. The kids were so excited to carve them. The moment we brought our pumpkins home from the patch the kids have been pestering me to carve them. This year while we were at Target browsing through the Halloween decor we came across some darling Mr & Mrs. Potato Head Pumpkin kits. They were adorable. Kaleb found a pirate one and Karmindy a princess one. They are just like Mr. & Mrs. Potato head pieces... you just poke them into a pumpkin. I figured that these were a little safer for the kids then handing them a knife and letting them whack at their pumpkins.  The kids were so excited to buy their pumpkin kits and they carried them proudly out of the store. 

On the night of carving pumpkins, we invited Kevin and Kayla over to carve pumpkins with us. We all had fun carving our pumpkins and eating some Baked Pumpkin Donuts that I made. It was a really fun evening. When it came to the kids' pumpkins, Mark only helped the kids a little bit by drilling a hole for the pieces. They kids really enjoyed using the Mr and Mrs. Potato kits. I love that they can use them again next year!

Mark and I carved our own pumpkins. Mine was a little mushy on the bottom but we made mine work. I think our pumpkins turned out great! I loved Mark's evil pumpkin face the best! We can't wait to carve pumpkins next year!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Karmindy had the opportunity to visit a Pumpkin Patch with her little Preschool class today. It was her very first Field Trip and I was lucky enough to be able to go and experience it with her. The particular patch that we went to, just happens to be our very favorite patch that we visit every year as a family. Karmindy was no stranger and made her self at home. She enjoyed wheeling the wheel barrows around, sitting on the old vintage tractors, walking through the corn maze, listening to a story (told by her cute teacher- Mrs. Heather) and picking out a pumpkin with her classmates. After the kids picked out their pumpkins, we headed back to the preschool and the kids were allowed to color their individual pumpkins. It was a beautiful fall day to go on a field trip, even though it was a tad cold! The poor kids were freezing.... and so was I! Karmindy had a great time on her very first field trip!

Family Pictures

Having family pictures taken each year has become a tradition. Pictures have always been something that I have valued. I think that I value them even more now that I have the kids. I want to document how they are growing. It is fun to look back each year and see how they have changed. This year we had our good friend and neighbor Brett Rowe take our pictures. He took our family pictures 2 years ago and has always done a great job. I am just tickled with how this years pictures turned out. I can't wait to get started on designing our Christmas Cards for friends and family!

Lil' Miss Sassy Pants

Karmindy has become quite the character lately and is so Spunky! We have known from the beginning that she was born with some spunk and sass so it's no surprise that she voices how she feels, for she has done it since her birth 3 years ago. For the past few months it has been so much fun to watch Karmindy grow and learn. Since starting pre-school back in August, she has become a little more social and talks a lot more. One of my favorite things that she says right now is "Cuz." She will be tell you this huge long story and every few words she will throw in the word, Cuz (Because). It is really cute and she keeps us laughing on a daily basis with all the funny things she says. 

Karmindy also loves to tease and torment her brother. Her latest thing that she enjoys doing is saying, "Ha, Ha, you don't have any chocolate Milk left," when the kids are having their afternoon snack or "Ha, Ha, your Mario died" when Kaleb is playing wii games. Karmindy really knows how to push her brothers buttons and can usual succeed in getting Kaleb upset to the point of him getting choked up and almost crying. That is what little sister's are for, right? 

Another thing that I am loving right now, is being able to do Karmindy's Hair. Karmindy has the most baby fine hair and for the longest time it was too fine to do much with it. Since it is getting a little bit longer and thicker I have enjoyed round brushing it and doing spunky little hair dos on her. On one particular morning I round brushed her hair  and she just looked so cute and so very grown up that I had to take a few pictures of her. The pictures above our from our little photo shoot. I love that she is smiling in all the pictures because it isn't very often that I can get her to smile! I love my lil' miss sass!

Barnyard Boo!

The Monday before Kaleb went back on track we decided to do one more big outing/event as a family before he headed back to school! I have wanted to check out Cornbelly's Down at Thanksgiving Point for the past few years but decided against it- I wasn't sure if the kids would enjoy the big crowds because it was so late in the month and Corn belly's gets crazy busy! We decided to take the kids across to the street (literally) to Farm Country. We have been there many times before and the kids have always adored seeing the animals; especially Karmindy. We thought they would enjoy going again especially since they were doing an event called the Barnyard Boo. It is an event that they put on that included the usual farm animal exhibits but the kids get to participate in a few carnival type games. The kids got to hear stories from a Witch named Millie, make ghost suckers, get their faces painted, ghost bowling, throw the rings on the witches shoes, play fuzzy monster horse-shoes, throw the eye balls in the bin, ride horses, enjoy a carriage ride, and run through an obstacle course. The kids participated in all the events and had a BLAST!! It was a really fun family outing and we are hoping to go again next year!

I'll Get You my Pretty!

On Friday October 13th, it was reported that 12 witches were seen arriving and then leaving the Frisbey Household around the hour of 5:30 p.m. The mysterious witches stopped shortly to be photographed but then with brooms in tow fled the scene in beautifully adorned apparel. Some witnesses claimed they were going to join other sister witches at Gardner Villages 10th Year of Hosting a Witch Fest. As the witches were fleeing the scene, small children reported hearing cackles and spells being cast.

These 12 witches disappeared into the night.

At Gardner Village, the witches enjoyed getting down with their bad selves and enjoyed dancing while music played. They enjoyed seeing a Snowy White owl, and several miniature Demons whom appeared to be standing on stilts. The witches enjoyed visiting Aftons Sweet Shoppe and dined on fudge and caramel apples. At around 9 p.m., several witches needed to return home to their wee ones while the others left to find a place to eat.

At around the Bewitching hour of 10 pm, It was also reported by the residents of South Jordan, that these same 12 witches were gathering at the Apple bees at the District. Those that were out doing some late night shopping at the District, reported that cackles could be heard as they were driving about in their automobiles. Patrons at the local Applebee's also claimed that after they finished their meals they left in a rush and cackled out the door. Many patrons were frightened and afraid that they would be cursed. 

All 12 witches enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to gathering together next year!

 The Coven

A Pumpkin Hunting we will Go!

Since moving to Northern Utah three years ago, we have made it a family tradition to go to our favorite Pumpkin Patch and get our Jack O' Lanterns for "All Hallows Eve." The kids really look forward to our annual pumpkin hunting tradition and they talk about it for weeks before our outing. Every year the kids really enjoy sitting on all the old vintage tractors, going through the mini corn maze and using miniature wheel barrows to place their desired pumpkins in.  This year's outing didn't disappoint- the kids had a wonderful time!! When I asked them what their favorite part of our Adventure was, they said they couldn't choose "just one" activity. We are so grateful that we live so close to such fun places! Now, we are all counting down until we get to carve our pumpkins!

Little Halloween Chefs

My kids love helping me in the kitchen! There is just something so special about being in the kitchen together. It has definitely been a way for me to spend quality time with  Kaleb and Karmindy and hopefully make lasting memories with them! I hope they will always have pleasant memories of these times/traditions. One of our family traditions is to make Pumpkin shaped sugar cookies each year around Halloween. My mom made sugar cookies each year around Halloween and Valentines Day and I wanted to keep the tradition going in our family.With Kaleb being off track from school for the past couple of weeks, it was a wonderful afternoon activity to keep his mind and hands busy.  (He is truly my little busy body.) Both Kaleb and Karmindy loved helping me roll out the dough and enjoyed using the cookie cutters. They also thought it was fun to smear flour on each other, which turned into a mini flour fight. We all had fun putting flour on our faces! This year we decided to get a little more creative and we used a ghost cookie cutter and a cat cookie cutters. All of the cookies turned out so cute looking. After baking and frosting them all, Mark, the kids and myself took a few around to neighbors (for Family Home Evening) to spread a little Halloween Cheer!
