Last night the kids were playing and running around, they came running up to Ian and I. Gunner was saying there is something in your bedroom saying HAAHHH! HAAHHH! He just had this funniest look on his face and he kept doing it, and that would have been funny enough, but then he said, "I think it was a ghost saying HAAHHH! It was a ghost, it was the Holy Ghost!" This is his picture he colored in Nursery yesterday, which we laughed at, but then later that night we finally noticed what he had actually learned about in nursery.
For New Year's we got to fly to Utah to visit my family. We were all really excited to see everyone. It's crazy when you get everyone there, 14 adults and 10 kids, but so fun when we are all together! Here are a few of the things we did. The kids got to play with the cats, but found out they could only do it when Diana and I weren't in the room, we are allergic. It got to where Malia and Gunner would ask me to leave so they could get the kitties out. My cute nephew Braden. These cats were so good, and took the abuse of all the kids. We got lots of time to play in the snow, and the kids wanted to go out everyday. The Paparazzi
The guys and a couple girls all got to go snowboarding at Brianhead one day while the other girls went to St. George and shopped and Grandma watched all the kids. Thanks! Then we all got to watch the big Utah game. The guys got to do their annual golfing together. We had the opportunity to go to my niece's baptism. My little brother Colten gave a talk about the plan of Salvation, lego style.
Gunner got sick one early morning and threw up for about 8 hours, and then was fine. Thankfully no one else got it, because we had one year it went through everyone. We also got a lot of game playing and just visiting which is always fun. Then just playing with cousins and getting to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma is why we love to visit.
I think the highlight was our video night. Everyone (well almost, we didn't) made a video about our family, there were no rules, and everyone did an awesome job, and we got some really good laughs in that night. I think they are in the process of getting them all put together so we can have a copy of them, atleast I hope. But here is the clips of one my little brother Mical did that won the prize. I think he put so many hours into making this, but it is hilarious!
So I know I am a slacker Blogger right now, and I have lots to update, but no motivation to do it any time soon. But I thought I needed to write this little story down. Gunner and I were talking about the baby, and I was trying to let him feel it kick, he has yet to have enough patience to hold his hand still so he can feel it. Malia, has felt it quite a few times, and is always putting her hand on my belly and asking if he is kicking. Anyway here is our conversation... Gunner: "How did your baby get in your belly mama?" Mom: "How do you think it got there?" Gunner: "Did it climb in your belly button?" Then he gets real close to my face and says: "Did you eat your baby?"
We are also trying to figure out a name, and it is driving us crazy. We had Malia and Gunner picked out way before now. I hate calling it "the baby" and want him to have a name, we just can't decide. Although, if you ask Gunner what the baby's name is he will say "Baby Gunner". Here are a few of the names in the running, atleast for today. Let us know what you think... we already know his middle name will be Bracken. Bo Gage Ryder Jagger
These are names that we kind of go back on, but if anyone has any cool names that would go with Malia and Gunner, let us know! We need help!
