Winter Days

We have a lot of snow this year. On Friday after I took Bos to school Wes, Livie and I shoveled outside. They had a lot of fun making snow angels. They both ended up taking their gloves off and then they didn't like it so much, Livie was throwing a fit because she wanted to go in the house. I am getting sick of the snow, it seems like it only snows on the days I have to work, and getting carts in the slush is NOT fun , I have to do 1 at a time, too bad our baggers don't do their work!!!!! I am ready to send the kids outside to play in nice weather. I look forward buckling the kids in their car seats without a coat, that drives me crazy. I am done with WINTER!!!!

DOGS AND KIDS

In

December we got 2 new dogs. We have had Punky (she is the black and white dog) since just

after we got married, and Maggie had to be put to sleep last spring, so it is nice for her to have company. They are both Miniature Schnauzers, our male is Kovu, he is the silverish color, and our female is Page, she is the smaller one that is white. We got the dogs from Booth's brother Tito, they have bred them. Now Tito's wife Crystal is breeding toy Schnauzers so the dogs needed a new home so she could make room for the toy Schnauzers. We are going to breed them probably in the summer/early fall. They are both so cute. Page is really lovey and Kovu is sweet. We have always loved our Punky, she really is a good dog. They stay outside----which sounds mean but there is a picture of where they get to stay. We had the shed built in, maybe November. It is insulated, has linoleum, and is heated. So they are comfortable.

And then I have some random pics of the kids. The one of Livies head is when Boston was carrying her around and she fell and hit the corner of the piano, we thought she would need stitches, luckily she didn't. And the others are the kids around the house.

NOTHING NEW

So nothing new really. I don't even have any new pictures to post. Booth is really busy with school, we are trying to sell our Tahoe----if you know anyone interested let me know---- I have a job interview with Jet Blue on the 29th, kids are doing really well. Sooo that's it.

Growing and Growing

Every year on New Years day, my grandma and grandpa Ahlstrom have dinner at their house. It is always delicious. We also measure our height each year, it seems like we used to do it on Thanksgiving, but we do it each year. My grandpa measures us and marks it on the wall. It is fun to see how much you have grown over the years, me and Teisha haven't grown since like 1998!! We keep hoping each year that we have grown, doesn't work though. The kids all grew at least 3 inches since last year. They were pretty excited. It is a fun tradition that we do.

CHRISTMAS

DeNovellis party (Booth's moms side)



We had a great Christmas this year. The kids were spoiled as usual. They were really excited for Santa to come. The boys got Thomas bikes, helmets, elbow and knee pads, bumblebee (the transformer) trains, books, movies and pajamas from Santa, and Livie got a chicken dance Elmo,V-tech learning book, clothes, a Elmo camera, a movie and books. They got lots of other awesome things from everyone else, too much to name it all. The only thing they got from us was a coat and snow suits. Pretty boring, but as you can tell both our parents and grandparents get them plenty of good stuff! Booth got tools and some movies from me and I got my playstation and Guitar Hero 3 a while ago. Still LOVE it!!! We celebrated with Booth's side of the family on the 15th, it was an all day activity, we had lots of fun. Then again with Booth's dads side on the 23rd, and again on the 24th at my moms, but I had to work, and then again 2 more parties at my grandmas and at Booth's grandma D's on Christmas. We kept really busy. I gained my holiday weight, I am not happy about that. The kids haven't been to school since Dec. 12th, I am really looking forward to taking them back on Jan. 7th.

We are excited to start a new year, each year they get better. We are grateful for all of our friends and family for all of your love and support, we love you and wish you a Happy New Year!!

Livie turns 2

Livie's birthday was on the 23rd. We celebrated on Thanksgiving and on the 25th. She had a great birthday. The first party on Thanksgiving was at my moms house. She got lots of good gifts. And on the 25th we celebrated at our house with Booth's side. She got lots more great gifts. She is getting so big and getting to be such a character. She is always pulling funny faces and showing off and dancing around. It is so much fun to watch her. I am just sad that my baby is two. And I am not sad that I am not pregnant again, usually I have had another baby by now.... thanks goodness!

The boys are doing well, they are growing up so much. Boston will be in kindergarten next year, that will be a big adventure, for both of us. Wes is really liking preschool, although he got in trouble for choking! Scary!! I gave them both haircuts about a week and a half ago, they are funny. I am not so good at it, they dont seem to mind though.

They are both excited about the snow, Boston said "mom it's snowing, it's Christmas now, where are the presents?" I am excited for the holidays, I enjoy being with our families and the good food. I recieved my Christmas present early. When I went to Park City with my friends, Katie took her PS2 and the game Guitar Hero. Well... I got addicted and I got a PS2 and Guitar Hero 3! We have been having a lot of fun playing it.

The pictures are of Livie's birthday parties and of the boys and their haircuts and as they say their shark boy faces.

HALLOWEEN

We had a fun Halloween this year. The boys were excited to get candy. We only went to a few homes in our neighborhood (all old people, they were so excited) since we had a lot of places to go. Livie did a good job once she got to the door, she had a hard time keeping up. The boys have a hard time ringing the doorbells only once, I think some people got angry, oh well. We went to grandma and grandpa Jenson's and they gave the kids a cup full of candy and then to g & g A's (that's what the kids call them). My mom has made chili on Halloween since I can remember. Olivia was a hobo clown, Wes was a shark and Bos was a pirate (what we could get him to wear at least). I pinned him down to draw a mustache on him and he cried and ran away. When he came back it was gone and his sleeve was all black. He doesn't like the attention. I am sure as they get older it will be more fun.
