TIME FOR A CATCH UP!!!

ONE POST, ONE MONTH, ONE FAMILY, LOTS OF ACTION

When Clayton and Ella had Thanksgiving break we decided totake a trip to Pismo Beach. We had a lot of fun. When we arrived it took Ella about 5 seconds to get in the water. She loves it and does not care how cold it is.

In pismo we went to the butterfly sanctuary, it was a place where thousands of monarch butterflies migrate, we saw one!!! (If you look really hard in the picture you can see our one butterfly).

While we were at the coast we decided to check out Hearst Castle. Althouth this place was amazing I do not recommend this place for kids, to long, to boring for them and you can't touch anything. The house was unbelieveable so much detail.

"Yeah you will totally need the carrier" says the Hearst Castle worker. Ha now we have to carry him and the carrier.

Then we had Thanksgiving, we went to Roberts moms house, my parents decided to have their thanksgiving in Hawaii, I'm not bitter, jealous or unhappy about that I'm not I swear. That morning our ward had a football/soccer game, and by this I mean the adults played football and the little kids played soccer. I do have to say watching out of shape older dudes play football is hilarious, I have never seen so many men fall in my life. I think it is time to retire for some of them.

Thanksgiving Over, Check Check!!

Now Christmas is here. I wish I had a great picking the tree story, how we all went to the farm and picked out and cut our own tree but I don't. Mom was impatient so I ran with all three kids by myself to Save Mart picked out a tree shoved it in the back of my mini van and bam, we had a tree!!!

Tree is up, It's starting to feel a lot like christmas. Clayton and his kindergarten class had a wonderful musical holiday show, I think you have to call it "holiday show" I'm trying to be P.C. It was fun to see clayton on stage, he sang every song and Ella wished she could be up there also and she can't wait to go to girl kindergarten as she describes it.

A lot has gone on but a lot more is to come. Can't wait for the party's with family and friends. Happy Holidays

BOYDSTON 6

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!

I am finally out of my first trimester. I am waiting for that miracle day where I get my energy back but I am sure it is any day now. It's kind of hard to sneak in a nap with three kids running around but I'm sure they are fine. Ella is really excited about another baby let's hope it is a girl or she might be disappointed, me on the other hand I have no preference. My due date is June 5th, wow that sounds so far away.

Girls, Girls, Girls...

Ribbons, Bows and One Cute Little Girl..

So I love how Ella has very long hair, she doesn"t love getting it brushed and done but it is fun that you can do many things with it. As I shop around for great hair accessories I find myself getting angry that one bow costs $8.00, for ONE LITTLE BOW you are crazy if you think I am going to pay $8.00 for one bow. One night at a church activity (enrichment) one station was how to make bows and flower clips, I was so excited. If I can learn to do this it would save plus a fun little craft to do. They taught us and the bows weren't as easy as I thought but I am getting better with time, but the flower clips were so easy and so quick and it turned out so cute. I recommend learning and creating your very own cute creations for your little lady.

do u think one more would be as cute as these cuties???

"TRUNK OR TREAT"

I love how halloween seems to last all month. Pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, church party and finally halloween, there are so many great activities and so much fun to be had. Our kids got to dress up for the first time during this holiday. Clayton went as the white Power Ranger, Ella as batgirl and Cade my little pirate. We had so much fun, costume parade, cake walk, face painting, cookie decorating, food and of course trunk or treating.

PUMPKIN PATCH

The Great Pumpkin...

The holidays are fast approaching and the first holiday coming up is the great candy holiday Halloween. Every year we take the kids to the pumpkin patch or "punkin pitch" as ella calls it. We got to go on the horse swings, feed the animals and of course pumpkins. We had a lot of fun, and mommy can"t wait until we got all the good candy on Halloween.

My Adventure With Cade

Cade and I head to Colorado...

Cade, myself and my parents headed to Colorado for my Uncle Andys wedding. My parents flew out of Sacramento and I flew out of San Francisco, did I mention we were flying standy-by and we didn't get on until the third flight which was 6:30 which put us into Colorado at 10:30. Cade was a trooper so was the two guys sitting besides us, he cried a little but then fell asleep.

We finally got to the hotel after the 1 1/2 hour drive and crashed. The next day we drove around found the local Target, yeah they are different everywhere, then we got pedicures with the bride and my cousin. It took 5 hours but it was fun. That night we had a barbeque with family and friends of the bride and groom. I was able to meet cousins I have never met, there are 40 first cousins total.

Then there was the wedding day we had time to kill so we drove up the mountain to the Hotel Stanley, a huge old hotel where Steven King wrote "The Shining" they also filmed some there. The hotel is supposed to be haunted so my mom and I were searching for the ghosts. No luck!

Then we hurried back to the hotel got ready and went to the wedding. It was a lot of fun.

I finally got home, tired but I really enjoyed myself, plus it was a lot of fun to spend one on one time with Cade.

My mom and me!!!!!

I have been wanting to go somewhere with my mom to take a little trip without babies or men to bug us. We Didn't know what to do but we new we wanted to get away and maybe do some hiking. We left friday morning and drove, ate and really enjoyed one anothers company. We found a random hotel and stayed. The next day we went to The Big Basin, mountains outside of Santa Cruz. We did a 3 mile hike that took us to a small water fall. Even though it was short it still was so beautiful and peaceful. After our hike we got great Rite Aid ice cream and walked around Santa Cruz. It was a short weekend but we had fun.
