Just playing around.

Kyle and the kids. I tried to get a good picture of them, but they didn't want to sit still and wanted to play instead. It snowed on us the entire time we were up there the past couple of times. Kymbell playing in the snow. She has really started to like going up there and rolling in the snow.Kadence holding her purple sled. She is really ready to go play and not wanting me to take pictures.Kadence and Kymbell in there snow bibs and snow boots getting ready to go up the mountain last weekend.My Valentine from Greyson written with hotwheel cars. He had it in the loft waiting for me to get out of bed that morning.  How sweet was that boy.

Grilled Cheese and tomato soup!!!

Kymbell enjoying her 3rd bowl of soup with a grilled cheese. She really didn't get dirty from feeding herself with the spoon, but she gets impatient and just drinks out of the side of the bowl.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Kymbell...

Just a few things I would like to remember that Kymbell is doing at 17 months.

She can say a few words, but not that many it's hard to get in a word in our house of constant talkers. She says please, thank, juice, no, yes, Hi, baby, daddy, mama, blue, and fish. She always wants to leave the house no matter who is leaving. She loves her daddy during the day, but wants me at bedtime and early in the morning. She is really good with our cat and the dogs a real animal lover. She has to make sure she gives the boys hugs and kisses at bedtime. She loves to be the baby she will get in Kadence's baby playpen and lets Kadence play like she is a baby doll. It is really cute. She runs from you when it's time for a diaper change, but will get the diaper for you. She is such a sweet baby girl that we are very lucky to have in our lives. 

Sledding....

I can't stress enough how much fun we have sledding, but this last time we went the snow was actually still falling and it was a foot of fresh snow on the ground. I was kinda worried b/c they said the road was closed to anyone without snow tires or chains, but they let us through maybe it was b/c we were in our truck. Anyway it was absolutely beautiful up there.

 Greyson is just walking around in the background.

 Kyle going down the big steep hill.

 Konner just rolling around and playing. I think the boys missed the snow, but now we have it close by and more often then we did in Arkansas. I think they are very happy. 

 Grey going down that big hill behind him. No he didn't hit that tree.

 The girls enjoying playing in the snow. They are in really good ski wear so they are warm.

 Kadence just covered in snow. She was rolling around and grabbing big handfuls of snow and throwing it in the air.

Grandma and Papa Pixler.....

We had a wonderful visit from Grandma and Papa Pixler they came into town on the 26th. We always look forward to them coming, but the kids get so excited to have somebody give them a little extra attention. We love having them here to visit with us. They watched the kids for s one night so Kyle and I could go on a date. Thanks so much for that we had a blast. We went to the Melting Pot which is a fondue restaurant. You go a have a 4 course meal and first veggies with a cheese fondue of your choice, a salad, then you pick your meat combination we had the shrimp,steak,chicken,salmon,lobster,pork, and ravioli and if that isn't enough we had dessert. Our dessert was a chocolate fondue with brownies, rice krispie bites, marshmallows, cheesecake, strawberries, and pound cake. I have no idea how we walked out if there. We then headed to Red Rock casino and walked around. It was so nice to go out without our kids. I really can't remember the last time we went on a date. 

The picture above is us making homemade ice cream. Yummy!!!

Kymbell before and after: A matter of seconds passed and the below happened.

Kadence and her first scooter.

Kadence climbed up on Grandma and fell asleep.

Papa was laying on the floor showing the boys exercises he does for his back and Kymbell laid down and showed him how it was really done.HA

 Kadence and Grandma having a talk. Below papa doing what he does most of the time he is here peeling and feeding the kids oranges. 

Grey's birthday party...

We took Greyson and a couple of his friends to Chuck E Cheese to run crazy for a few hours. He had a really good time he is very hard to buy for since it is right after Christmas, but I think he liked what he received. He wants to Thank Grandma Pixler, Aunt Kelly, Grammy, and Aunt CC(Sunny)and rest of the family for the gift cards. He had a lot of fun going and buying what he wanted. After the birthday party we loaded up and drove to Mt Charleston and went sledding. They really enjoy sledding, but this time we went to a different place and the snow had started to melt. That means me and the kids had wet feet b/c I stepped on ice and my foot keep going through to my mid calf pure cold wet water. We still had a blast.

Happy Birthday!!!

So today is Greyson's 8 birthday. I can't believe that my first born is already 8 years old all though he acts like he is 20 most days and he knows everything. He is a really sweet and handsome boy. Kyle and I counldn't imagine our life without Greyson in it. I can remember coming home from the hospital with and being scared to death, but he was such a great baby that it made it easy for me to adjust to life with a newborn. Happy Birthday sweet baby boy. We love You so much......

Sledding

We decided we needed to take the kids sledding at the mountain just a few minutes away from our house. The boys had their ski gear from last year and Kadence had her coat that we bought her from last for playing in the snow. So I found Kymbell a coat and it is so cute and it is a awesome brand of ski wear a Spyder. The kids had such a great time that we are going back next weekend. The kids thought we were kidding when we told them that we were going sledding b/c it was 70 degrees. We left the house and got to the Mt Charleston and it was  35 degrees and snow everywhere. This is the hill that they climbed up to slide down. If you look in the very back of the picture there is a big tree in the middle of the picture that is where they started from.

 Konner and Kadence sledding down the together on different sleds.

Kymbell not sure about this sledding stuff.

Happy Anniversary!!!

I love Edible Arrangement the fruit that is arranged in a bouquet. This is what I was given after I went a picked Konner up from school today. It doesn't seem possible that we have been married for 6 years and together for more than 7 years, but it feels like we have been together forever. Thanks for being you Kyle I love you and Happy Anniversary.

9, 10 and 2 more on the way.....13 already

Kymbell has been the slowest at getting her teeth for the longest time only had 4 on top and 4 on bottom, but she is getting the rest out of order now. I noticed the other day that she had something in the back of her mouth it's a new tooth and so I poked around some to see if she had anymore and she did. So now she has 5 on top and 5 on bottom. Her gums are also really swollen in a couple of other spots so she should be getting those real soon.I had to the girls to a well check for shots and to make sure that they were over all the yucky stuff that have had this month. Kadence is doing really well the doctor commented on how tall she is compared to the last well check. Kadence is 29 months old, 3ft tall and weighs 33 lbs. She has really grown in the past couple of months. She was lucky and was all up to date on her shots.

Kymbell on the other hand had to have 3 nasty shots and she did really well only cried for a second and was ready to out the door and get her sucker. Kymbell has slowed down on her growth chart a little bit, but she is 24 lbs and is 32 inches long.

We are also very glad Grey is back from Arkansas. He left on the 26th to go to his grandparents. I went to pick him up at the airport with the rest of the kids b/c Kyle was at work. It is always an adventure going through the airport with 4 kids by yourself with only a single stroller. I am really impressed with how well they all did even Kadence b/c she walked the entire way. 

Merry late Christmas

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the day with their families. This is my first year to not have Christmas with my whole family and to have Christmas in my house in Las Vegas. We had a Great time getting ready and decorating the house. Not traveling during the Holidays was kinda nice also, but I still really missed my nieces and nephews. My mom came into town a couple of days after Aunt Kelly left us. I am so excited about her being here and staying for a couple of weeks. Kyle and I had a fun time getting ready on Christmas Eve for the kids the next morning. I think we slept 4 hours that night. Christmas Eve we went outside and put out reindeer food then came in a let the kids open one of their presents.  The kids really enjoyed putting out the reindeer food even though it was raining and cold outside.

 After feeding the reindeer we brought the kids in and let them open one small gift and then took pictures by the tree. Soon after opening presents we did the Santa tracker to see how close he was to getting to our house and off to bed quickly.(he was pretty close)

We finally finished everything on Christmas Eve 2:15 am early that night.
 

We had a great Christmas day the kids had to get the kids up extra early(5:50) to open presents because daddy had to work Christmas day. I think this is the first year that all the kids enjoyed opening the presents and playing all day long..             

 If you look closely at the floor in front of the tree you can see white foot prints through the house to the cookies and milk. I think Santa left his boot prints. I pretty sure that Santa enjoyed his cookies and milk because all that was left was crumbs.

Our crazy madness that took the past three days me all day to clean up. 

I think the kids had a wonderful Christmas and received everything they could imagine. I am really excited about the stuff that I got from Kyle. He bought me a new wireless all in one printer, Adobe elements 6 for my computer do so stuff with all my pictures, he got me the dummies books for both my computer and the adobe program, my wonderful steve madden boots, and a girt certificate. Thanks honey I love it all. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody.
