Sorry thought I already posted!
Some how last week when I sat down and wrote a posting I must have said save and not to post. I was just looking at our blog and noticed it wasn't posted so I guess you will get two postings today. I still am not able to up load pictures. I have some cute ones so maybe I will up load some when I go to mom's. But for know I will just update you on our week.
I didn't go to Cole's school this Wednesday but I went on Friday. Kamden had preschool Carter is so lost with out Kamden on the days she goes to preschool. He follows her around and wants to do everything she is doing they are so cute together most of the time. Some times they do get on eachothers nervous. Kamden had a friend over after later in the day. The little girls mom had achievement days and so she brought her over. Cole missed his ride from school to Scouts so we had to run him over to the church after he got off the bus today. He was standing right next to the lady he was suppose to ride with and then just up and run to the bus. They had everyone even the principal looking for him. So they just assumed he run to the bus he did. He said they didn't say let's go so he assumed they weren't going today and didn't want to miss the bus and came home. Ryan went out again to visit people in the ward. He has been doing well going back to work.
Thursday I made 5 loaves of bread in the morning for our Christmas party. I have never made bread before. It turned out really good. It was a different kind of bread receipt. To be honest it has been a week so I really can't remember what we did.
Friday Kamden had preschool and I started to prepare my lesson for the 24th and realized I was preparing last months. I wanted their last month so I didn't realized until Friday I had been preparing the wrong lesson. So I am now hopefully preparing the right lesson. After I picked up Kamden from preschool I took her and Carter over to mom's she watched them while I went to Cole's school. The whole second grade was working on projects for Christmas. There big project was their had imprints with plaster. So of course I was in the plaster room. Oh, my oh, my what a miss and confusion. There were lots of parents and we only did about 10 kids at a time. There are 6 2nd grade classes with 29 kids in them. So we were there from 12:45 until 3:20. Amazingly we got them all done and cleaned up before they went home. They did some other projects also. It was fun and Cole loved it that was his favorite part. He is already planning where his hand is going to go and he also thinks we need to frame it. After I picked the kids up from mom's they fell asleep because neither one would take a nap for her. So we had to wake them up when we got home which neither one liked because we had our ward party at 6 and need them to get ready. We were all suppose to dress up as in Jesus times. Cole and Kamden dressed up as Angels they had a singing part and were told to be angles. Carter refused to put on anything and Ryan and I didn't dress up and Kendall came too. It was the cutest activity. They had the gym done up as Bethlehem and they gave you money and you had to pay a tax. Then with your money we bought food for your family. The food was shish kabobs(sp), beef, pork, hot dogs, rice, beans, bread, fruit and cookies. Then they had a program narrative and singing. Kamden and Cole sang a song with a group of kids. Of course Cole didn't sing but you could hear Kamden. We stayed and helped clean up for a while but then Ryan wasn't feeling so good to much sitting on the floor he was in pain.
Saturday we just kind of hang out all day. Then a friend called and told us Santa was over at the Country Merchentel. So we headed over the kids sat on his lap told them what they wanted and he gave them something that matched what they asked for and they got there pictures taken it was pretty cool. Then we went over to Dennis and Melanie's to take Dennis a cake and some balloons for his birthday. After that we took the kids over to mom and dad's and they watched the kids while we went to dinner. We had made plans to go out with some friends but just ended up us. It was nice we had dinner and dessert and it only cost us $20 with the tip. I think that is cheaper than McDonald's. We hang out at mom and dad's for a little while the Dickman's came over to drop off stuff to mom and dad. Then we took the kids over to Pasco to see there Christmas light and they line the streets with sacks and candles. It was so neat we have never been before the kids loved it.
Sunday we had another family home evening lesson we have had 3 on Jesus so we did one on the sacrament. The kids made their sacrament books with pictures of Jesus. They had a good time putting them together and they actually used them during the sacrament and where unusually quite during it. We went over to mom and dad's after church Kendall made stir fry it was so good and the kids loved it. It is amazing when she cooks the kids love it.
Monday what a busy day. Cole had school and Kamden went to preschool Ryan kept Carter and I went in and helped in Cole's class. I redid her bulletin board and wrote on the backs of all the kids hands. The kids were all worked up already they are so ready for Christmas vacation. Kamden had a friend over then we head off to her tap/ballet. When we got home Cole had a friend over. Some friends were back in town so we had there son over. He was the only other boy in Cole's primary class so since he has been gone Cole has been the only boy with about 7 or 8 girls. Then after dinner we headed over to mom and dad so Ryan could print some things for work.
Tuesday since I wasn't able to make it to the store I made odds and ends for dinner group and Kendall still had to pick me up a few things from the store. It all worked out and everyone got there dinner. I babysat Teigan and Torin today so it was a busy day and Kendall came over and visited for a little while. After dinner Cole, Kendall and I went grocery shopping. We watched 1/2 of the Christmas story last night. I have never seen that show the whole way through.
I am hoping today I will get my lesson prepared so I can worry about other things.

Computer problems!
Hey,
I keep wanting to post but anytime we plug in the printer or the photomax thing to upload pictures our computer freezes up. We need to have someone look at it but there is no money right now. So I have lots of really fun pictures but I can't upload them. I guess I can update you though. I know not as fun as the pictures.
Last Thursday Cole had Cub Scout Pack Meeting and the women had a sewing night at the same time. So dad took all the kids and went to pack meeting while I went to the sewing night. One of the girls was teaching us how to make scarfs, hats and mittens for our service project the Stake Relief Society Presidency put together.
Friday I finally got my house cleaned and we went with Kendall to see Happy Feet. It was so cute Ryan and I loved it Kamden didn't like it. We then picked up Cole and went down to Lourdes Santa Clause was there. The kids all got there pictures taken with him we do that every year with the kids. It is so much better than going down to the mall and waiting and paying to see Santa. Then we ran Cole over to a friends party. While Cole was there we run around and took care of a few things then back over to pick up Cole from his party. Kendall came over and we watched Office. I tried to finish sewing some hats and gloves.
Saturday morning I finished most of the scurfs, hats and gloves. We went out looking for a DVD/TV for the car. The car dealer is buying a one and we were just looking around. Oh my the electronic stores were so busy it was worse than it was the day after Thanksgiving if you ask me. Then we headed over to mom and dad's for dinner. We had a nice releaxing time. Mom made taco's and we just visited.
Sunday we went and listening to Kendall's talk and then headed back over to our ward. We started our Secret Santa. We took a tree that was the first day of Christmas gift. It was one we picked up last year after Christmas for like $15 or $25. The kids love doing the Secret Santa. After church we went to Dennis and Melanie's for dinner. The kids helped her decorate the downstairs Christmas tree and put up some of her decorations. Kamden loves to help she thought that was so great.
Monday I was able to finish the hat, scarfs and mittens at least I am done with the material I bought. Kamden had preschool and we went grocery shopping and then the kids took naps and we headed back out to Kamden's tap/ballet.
Tuesday I got all the dinners made and some other things done around the house and then we went to Kamden's eye doctors appointment. When the doctor first came in he asked if he was seeing Carter. I said no and he said we should be. He said it looks like Carters left eye is turning in. So he wants to see him and Cole and have them checked. Kamden he said is doing really well and looks like she is doing good with her glasses. So she doesn't have to go back for 1 year ya! The boys go in, in January so we will see how that goes. Kendall meet us as the eye doctors and took Carter for me and picked up Cole and took him to paino. Then took the kids home and watched them while I ran dinners around to my families. It was a big help. She stayed and had dinner with us. Nothing wonderful we had hot dog cassarole. One of the ladies called from the dinner group and wants to get together and do things a little differently with dinner group. It really hasn't been working lately. So hopfully we will get it all worked out.
Sorry no pictures hopefully soon!
Love you guys!

Christmas Shopping Done!
Well we had tithing settlement on Sunday. Ryan went to that but he stayed home from church so I was on my own with the kids. And amazingly they did really well. Kamden just didn't get her nap that she usually has during sacrament. I had all the kids on my lap or in my face so she couldn't sit still on my lap and go to sleep. The Relief Society lesson was really good. One of the counselors gave the lesson it was on characteristic of Joseph Smith and how we can have or build those characteristics. We had dinner at mom and dad's and Kendall made BBQ Chicken Pizza. It was so good. Cole doesn't like pizza but he loved this pizza. We played Disney scene it. Can you believe Ryan, Kendall and I won. Not mom ,Jillian and dad. We rock!!!j/k
So Monday I thought I was finally going to be able to clean my house it has been a while I don't want to say how long but a while. I forgot I had set up V.T. appointments. I don't usually go it December just take a treat but I didn't get out in November so I really needed to go out. Anyway that took me all morning and then we went grocery shopping. I had an hour until Kamden's tap ballet so I made the rest of the caramel syrup. Then we went to tap/ballet and after we took the kids to ShopKo so they could buy each other gifts and get their ornaments for the year.
So Tuesday was another day to get to the house cleaning but I had Teigen and Toren until 3:45 and Cole had Piano until 4pm. So again I didn't get the house cleaned.
So Wednesday another day right. I went to Cole's school this morning while Kamden was at preschool, Carter stayed home with dad. Well the day isn't over so maybe today I will get it cleaned because tomorrow I have Teigen and Toren again.
Well all of our Christmas shopping is done. We are doing the 12 days of Christmas for a family in the ward again this year. We decided to incorporate the true mean of Christmas into the 12 days of Christmas. So like the candy cane represent the shepherd's crook and bring the lost sheep back to the fold so we are going to to hot chocolate mug, hot chocolate and candy canes for that day, or the bow tied as we should all be in doing good will, so we will give a gift with a bow. Then each day we will tell them what each thing represents. Anyway I thought it would be easier to come up with what to give each day.
