Schnepf Farms

Schnepf farms was a blast. Mason had so much fun and we couldn't have done it without grandma and grandpa Grant. First we roasted marshmellows and Mason wasn't to sure about eating them because they were so big. (he only eats the small ones and has never seen the BIG ones) But once he tasted them we wanted lots.

Then we went on a hay ride and Mason watched the tractor the whole time.

The hay ride took us to feed the reindeer. They would actually eat right out of your hand. There were about 40 according to Grandpa who did try to count them all.



We had to go on the carousel at least once. Mason tried to go many times but the lady running the carousel was the same lady doing train rides and he only got to go once but still loved every minute of it. He even tried to get on when no one was around.






The train ride I think was the best thing for Mason. He loves trains and it even did every train noise. It took us around the farm and even stopped for a small light show that was put to Christmas music.



The girls decied to say out of this picture Below. But we did have a good time!

New Carpet is on the Way



How ghetto are we! We had to do a tempory fix and just cut out the bad spot for now and we left for a couple of hours and when we came back the mystery smell was gone. So Stefany we won't be needing any mouse traps. I would have taken out all the carpet myself but I didn't want the babies to have to crawl around on cold cement when they woke up. Hopefully Colton will bring home the new carpet tomorrow and we can find someone to install it. (So if anyone wants to volunteer their husband I won't be mad:) ) And hopefully we will have problem solved by the end of the week!!!!

Mystery Smell

So yesterday morning I got up with the kids and went down stairs and thought that's an odd smell. Changed diapers, looked for bottles left laying around, and did the dishes. Still not getting any better. I have to say so sorry to Jamie Jones who came over for a meeting and I am so surprised she didn't puke on my floor being pregnant and all, cause I know that if I was pregnant I would have puked on my own floor. So I thought someone needs a bath. Did baths still not getting any better. So I had to wait for Colton to get home because I have a bit of a cold and my sniffer isn't all that great. He walks in the door and say "WHAT IS THAT SMELL" I knew it was bad but not that bad. So we started sniffing around and finally started moving furniture and we found a spot under the couch that smelt very sour. We shampooed the whole carpet asap. Still so smelly. We cannot figure out what happend and so I guess for Christmas we are getting NEW CARPET. Not exactly what we wanted but what can ya do.

Bath Time



Bath time is so much fun! Now I know exactly why there are two side to the sink. Just in case you have twins you can get them done at the same time with out bending over the bath tub.



What ever works I guess.


Double Trouble



As you can see we have double trouble. Some how the tree got tipped over and they were the only two around. HMMMM. It is a good thing that we put our Christmas tree up stairs in the loft or we would be in big trouble.

Suns Game

Colton took Mason to the Suns game last night with Uncle Phillip and said they had so much fun and he was a hit with the cheerleaders. He got to go down on the court after the game and shoot some baskets and actually made some. The twins were so fussy that we all got in our PJ's and headed to Walmart for a little browsing I knew we would fit right in.

Fun Thanksgiving Pics

We had a great Thanksgiving. We spent alot of time with Colton's extended family. It was a nice break for me having so many helpers around. We basically packed up for the whole day and headed into town. Brinley had a case of the coughs and the pukes so she was in a diaper only half the time. (Even out to eat). She had a little cough attack a puked all over everything at Mongolian Grill but we took her clothes off and continued eating. Colton and I took the twins to urgent care saturday because their colds were really bad. But everthing was good except Brinley had an ear infection. Got some meds and continued with our family filled Thanksgiving break. We even took a drive out to the lake so the babies could take a little nap and Tanner's wife Andrea could see all the beautiful cactus.






Mason was very entertained by everyone.





Colton and Tanner at the lake. And aunt Kathy (Soon to be Grandma Kathy) couldn't keep her hands off the babies. (No complaints here)

Happy Thanksgiving

Mason, where do I begin. We have had a rough last few days. I know the sickyness wasn't your fault, even though you puked on the portable DVD player it still works. You layed on the couch for hours and didn't get up, you wispered your choice of cartoon. A little clorox does the trick in the bathroom. Looking back I don't mind the Mason laying on the couch ALL day at all. You see I turn my back for a second and this is what happens.... You refuse to share your toys when other kids come to play but the second I step into the kitchen to somewhat clean, I hear choking from the babies, give you the look and you say "mom I was sharing Ashton and Brinley wanted cheez-its" you just don't know when to share. So I send you out side and you come back with daddy's flowers he just planted in the backyard. I go to lay Ashton down and step away to get the binkie and come back to 12oz of huggies bath soap all over the floor. Didn't know you were following me. Send you out side once again I take a peek out the window and all I see are two little butt cheeks and a stream landing in your dump truck. Ok Mason go up stairs and watch cartoons. You were being a little to quite so once again I came to check and the one door that isn't baby proof because they come in a three pack and I thought six would be enough you found a tube of crest blue sparkle toothpaste and it too is all over the carpet. Lovely. Well I head into the garage to get something out of the car and didn't think it was a big deal to let you follow until I head for the door and my knees are looking at a bottle of windex. Before I could bargan, it was to late, good thing it was berry senceted. We have repainted many times, we have no more touch up paint, you try to calm you brother and sister but really you are choking them when you pick them up, you are trying to be so helpful but the sh sh sh sh was when they were little now it's just noise. And we really needed those teething tablets for the babies to help them sleep, no chairs in sight but you pushed a carseat over and ate over half the bottle. But the best part of all is when I tuck you in to bed a night and you thank heavenly father for your mommy and daddy and the last words out of your mouth are la lue (love you) mommy it's all worth it! I am thankful for my family.
