Trafalga

Well it has been quite some time since I have blogged... I will have to eventually update Christmas and everything else in between. We have been doing good. The kids are getting big; it's weird to me that I have kids. period. and then to add how old they are is just crazy to me. For Christmas, my brother and his wife gave me and Curtis a gift certificate to Trafalga. Since we hadn't been to the one in Lehi, we thought we'd give it a shot. It was a lot of fun! We took the kids and Curtis' sister, Celeste, came with us too! We decided just to do the arcade and got like 140 tokens. Shaylie got to do the bowling and us adults spent the majority of our time on the big wheel of fortune, Deal or no Deal and the bass fishing game. We ended up with about 1000 tickets. Shaylie was pretty excited to get a little turtle stuffed animal. And of course, Ozzy was thrilled about the ball he got. While we were there, Shaylie kept begging to play the Dance Dance Revolution game. I didn't really want her to because there was always a line of big kids wanting to play... but finally I decided that if she wanted to do it, then by all means, let the girl dance! Like I have mentioned PLENTY of times on here, She is a dancer! Curtis got up there with her to show her how it is done and she had a great time. I have a video of it, it's kinda long but I just couldn't stop recording all the moves! Again, just lay your head on your little shoulder and enjoy! Sorry, I don't know how to flip it.

At one point, Shaylie had gone up the play place thingy and hadn't come out and Ozzy was dying to go up. I took the plunge and went with him. Along the way, I became search and rescue for a couple of kids. It was a tricky one, I had to ask a 7 year old how to get to the slide and she explained it like this"go up that, around the corner, down the little tube and around that corner" HOW IN THE WORLD DO THEY TO EXPECT KIDS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE 24 YEAR OLD CAN'T EVEN FIGURE IT OUT?! Not saying much, I do struggle. But there were 2 little girls along the way, crying for their moms. So I had shaylie's boots, Ozzy and 2 little girls that I had to drag around that place until we got to the slide. Then I got to take all of them down with me. What a treat that was.


Thanks Brian and Mal! We had lots of fun!

Happy Halloween!

This year for Halloween, Shaylie was a bumble bee. Curtis was Troy and I was Liz from the show Swamp People. Ozzy was our Alligator that we were hunting. My nephew Jake also was an alligator so we decided to get him in on our picture of the Swamp People.



I am SUCH a good mom... I taught Shaylie this song. I am not sure how to turn it, so just put your head on your shoulder and enjoy her cuteness!


Also Of course, I need to post our pumpkins. And by our pumpkins, I mean Curtis' pumpkin. Since his is the only one worth looking at. He decided to do Charlie Sheen this year and put Hallo-Winning on it. I thought it was cleaver. Shaylie's is Boots (Dora's pet monkey, of course), Ozzy's is ghosts and mine is the face. After doing Shaylie's and Ozzy's, I was over it so I did something easy.





Hope everyone had a fun, safe Halloween!

Happy (LATE) Birthday, Little Friends!!

PS... THIS IS A LONG POST..


Well on Aug. 31 Ozzy turned 1! I can't believe it's already been a year since he was born. This was a rough year for me full of adjusting, acid reflux and momma's boy syndrome. But I wouldn't have traded it for anything. This kid is SO full of energy and such a happy boy, I just enjoy having him around! We had a get together at a park and he got lots of great things! Thank you everyone for your gifts!

Things Ozzy did by the age of 1:
*walking like a mad man!
*Says ba ba (for his bottle or now sippie), ma ma, da da, she she(shaylie), bye bye, uh-oh!, thank you and ball.
*Takes 2 naps a day (and NEEDS them)
*goes to bed around 8 on a normal day and wakes up between 8 and 9.
*Still LOVES to torment Shaylie. He knows that certain things bother her and he gets that look in his eye and does it just for the reaction!
*He is a MOOCH. This kid thinks he needs to eat ANYTHING that anyone else is eating, whether he is hungry or not.

OZZY'S STATS:
30 1/2" (65%)
22lb 13 oz (43%)

BIRTHDAY BOY!!!






Now on to Shay Shay! This little girl is a spit fire! She is so funny to be around and (thankfully) is to an age now where she doesn't just have screaming fits all the time. I can usually talk to her and explain, and she is ok with my answer. She thinks she is Ozzy's mom and she is quite the bossy pants to him! She had a GREAT birthday! We went down to my parents and had a party for her and her Aunt Sarah. And then on her actual birthday we had a little get together with Curtis' family. She got lots of great presents and she LOVES them! I wasn't able to get pictures from Curtis' family's party (I forgot my camera... I know, SO smart!) but I got some pictures from her other party!

SHAYLIE STATS:
28lb 8oz (30%)

Shaylie: Say Koo Koo
Me: Koo Koo
