Christmas

Really missed being home for Christmas...especially because my sisters were all there!! Next year! But we really had lots of fun. The boys are getting older so they are getting more into the whole thing. They share all their new presents with each other so it's like they got double gifts AND the whole Bond family was in town and they were AMAZING to us!! Thanks you guys!

Oh.....and my husband got me something I've been dying to get my hands on....Bamboo Connect.  SO excited to start doing my own illustrations! Thanks Babe!

Love these two...most of the time...

We had baking day at Tinas house this year. Tinas husband Ken has a 6 year old girl named Maddison who is the best! She and Sawyer are never apart and I wish she would just come live with them permanently! :)

Oh Tina....you see the flour EVERYWHERE? Much better if you were there and saw her initial reaction. Love you Tina.

Such a Wyatt face. Shady looking and full of food.

Just my cute boys.

Boys thought it was so cool that Santa ate cookies and milk.

Where are the Christmas pictures and videos from everyone elses blog!!? Come on!

Onslaught...

I don't want to bore everyone with details. So real fast. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it here in Rio Rancho New Mexico! Come visit!  

Now some pics....

Loving the snow and weather out here

Another near disaster....probably needed stitches...but super glue works too.  Now he'll have two great scars by that eye.

Sawyer turned 4 like a week after moving here.

After leaving Provo we stopped in St George for a little vacation before heading to NM. Boys loved the slot canyons and climbing into the little cubby holes.

Sawyer wore this blanket as a cape everywhere in St George. Love it.

Totally Jims kid. He was either looking at this magazine or yelling for food the whole trip out to NM.

So what did we do for 2 months in Utah? We stayed at my wonderful parents house, we played with Shalane and her two girls like everyday, and the other days we went in the mountains...and Jim worked.

Sawyer LOVES to dress up. Seriously. He's never in normal clothes.

Trick or Treating with Shalane and the girls was hilarious.

We painted lots. Some of it managed to get on the paper.

Played with cousins.

Hiked in the mountains.

Fed the zebra by Shalanes house.

Played with cousins some more.

Played in the mountains...a ton...

Oh. And played with cousins.

Had SO MUCH FUN with everyone while there. We fit SO MUCH in those 2 months! Didn't waste a day. Good to see Bri and Colleen and the Heathes! And Mello! What the crap?! Why don't I have any pictures of us hanging out?! Lame. 

I miss everyone already! I miss the few friends I had in Kansas! Now everyone...come visit! :)

Things have been very crazy the last couple months....to say the least........we are FINALLY in our new home in New Mexico!! We got here about a week ago and still don't have our stuff. Jim hasn't been able to get back to Kansas for it all due to weather and time constraints and we're all going a little crazy living out of suitcases!! We were in Utah at my parents for the last couple of months waiting to be able to move in but the family that WAS in the house just kept staying and staying and NOT paying rent! Then they left it trashed...awesome. Thank you thank you to Bill, Margret, Ken and Tina for getting it cleaned for us!!! Now for some furniture....
I miss Utah and my family, but I think once we get settled we will really like it here. The boys LOVE the house. It's got TONS of room (espeially with no furniture) to run around like mad-men....and that's what they've been doing.
I am typing this on Tinas (my sister in law) computer so no pictures again. But it looks like Jim will be leaving on tuesday so I will get my computer back and will be able to post some pics! I have A TON!!!!!!!!
Miss everyone in Kansas and Utah!!! Jana your house is looking AWESOME!!! Um. Lil.....you need to come visit...Wyatt said something about Bodey the other day and I just really miss you.
Oh. And I got a new phone (like a month ago) and still havent' swithched all the info to it....or set up the message....I suck. I'll eventually get it done.
More to come soon.

Sawyer

Sawyer cracks me up. I love this age.
The other day we were meeting Jane for lunch in good ol Great Bend and while waiting for her to arrive this was the short conversation we had:

Me: I'm STARVING!! I can't wait to eat! I'm going to eat the biggest salad they have!
Sawyer: I'm STARVING TOO!! But I don't want a salad mommy. I want REAL food.

We had a garage sale this weekend. We're moving back to Utah. We sold literally EVERYTHING. There was this picture of Jesus and the children that a little girl was looking at when Sawyer went up and stood next to her.
Sawyer: That's Jesus.
Girl: I know.
Sawyer: He's SUPER dead.
Then he just walked off.


No pictures. I'm too busy packing.

Wyatt is 2...

...AND VERY MUCH TERRIBLE...

Don't let the cuteness fool you. He is HORRIBLE! I want to lock him in his room most of EVERYDAY. But when I'm just about to snap he does something really sweat. Like give me a kiss and say "wuv you mom".

He's so shy in public but a terror at home. So people just assume he's an angel....I just laugh. He loves to play make believe with Sawyer and they're always talking about bodily functions....where does that come from!? Boys must just come that way. It is pretty funny though.

And very much a boy. Obsessed with anything big, loud and with wheels.

Thank you Jane for all the goodies. Or as Sawyer said "Thanks Grandma for all the AWESOME toys!!" We love you guys TONS!!

They love super heroes...Sawyer mainly, but Wyatt is beggining to really get into it too. I caught them with their capes on jumping off one of our bedside tables with arms outstretched like superman. Luckily they put pillows down...this time. 

Oh Wyatt. I can't believe you are 2. And I curse you with 5 little boys JUST LIKE YOU!!!
