It's a BOY!

We are so Happy to welcome home Jaxton from the hospital. It was a great suprise to find out that he going to be home for Christmas. He was born 4 weeks early and weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and 18 3/4inches. He was the NICU for 10 days, but a joy to have home. We are so happy for Jared and Jaime and their family. Welcome home Jaxton.

It's a BOY!

We are happy to welcome Holland to our family. Weston and Becky are the proud parents of this happy, healthy baby. He was 8lbs 3oz and 20 inches. We are so happy for him to finally be here. He was a week late, but before Christmas. We have waited a long time for someone to carry on the Fuller name. It was fun to have the guys pose for a picture to celebrate Hollands birth.

Christmas

It's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone so fast. Looking back we have had a busy year. We gained a sister-in-law, Barabara and we gain three new nieces and nephews. Saide on October, Jaxton and Holland in December. We wish the time could slow down a little more and give us more time to enjoy the moments. Christmas was fun to spend with my family. We were all together except Jen and Kyler. After Christmas we got to spend time Marc's Mom and Jonathan and his girlfriend, Heather. It was nice to see everyone

Christmas

Santa Clause is coming to town......
The kids loved helping to decorate the house and get it all ready for Christmas. This year we got to decorate the whole tree and not just the top half. We also got to put the train out for the first time in 3 years. The kids are finally old enough to not touch. They were so excited to see the train come out and to watch it go around the tree. They thought that the train really made the tree.

Bear Hug

The kids were so excited when I brought home this polar bear for the front yard. They all wanted their picture taken with the bear. They are so excited for Christmas.

Cousins

Brielle is so excited to have a girl cousin on my side. She loves Sadie. Jen, Kyler, and Sadie came up for Thanksgiving and we finally got to see my Niece. She is SO cute. Brielle just wanted to hold her all the time and would get mad when we wouldn't let her. She loves her cousin. They are so cute together. I bought them both matching little outfits for Thanksgiving and took their pictures. They look so cute.

1st Hair cut

Well I finally did it, I cut Brielle's hair. I was always afraid to cut her hair, so I didn't. This was her very first hair cut. Her hair was getting so long and tangled that I had to cut it. I took her over to my cute neighbor Toni. Toni as beauty salon in her house, so I took all the kids and Marc to get hair cuts for Thanksgiving. Brielle didn't like having her hair brushed, but didn't mind the cutting. We didn't cute much just and inch or two, but I think it looks shorter, but cute. It doesn't tangle up as much which is nice. Now if I can get her to sit still like so I can do her hair it would be nice.

Fun to be a kid

Marc and I were racking up the leaves in the yard the other week end when Connor and Brielle thought it owuld be fun to run through them and through the leaves up in the air. It was fun to watch them. Needless to say we had to clean the leaves up again when they were done.

Friday night was fun, we had a girls night out and went to go see the new twilight movie. The movie was so good. It was fun to go go with my mom, sister and siter-in-laws. If you haven't seen the movie yet you should.

Ellis Look-alike Meter

MyHeritage: Look-alike Meter - Ancestors - Family history
I found this meter on my friend Cheryl's blog and thought I would try it out. It's kind of funny, because we always play that who side of the family does he/she take after game. This helps figure that out. I didn't post all of them but I did try them all and
Zack is equal between us,
Connor is 14% more Dad
Brielle is 5% more Dad
I'm glad they got the good looks in the family :)

Spooky!!!

I love halooween and so do the kids. They get so excited and can't wait to go. This is a hard week because friday can't comefast enough. we had a halloween party at church a week ago and the kids were so happy that they got to dress up early. Connor couldn't wear his mask, so I colored his hair and face. He lookes so different. I love to see the joy and excitement that each one has for this crazy holiday.

Zack is a ninja

Connor is the Hulk

Brielle is the princess just like she really is

Barnyard Boo

My Mom and I took the kids out to Thanksgiving point to their barnyard boo. The kids had UEA ( No school) and the weather was still good, so we thought it would be a good time to get the kids outside and do something fun for fall. There are different areas, you can go to. The scarecrow festival, cornbelly's, or the barnyard boo. I thought we would do the barnyard one, because of the animals and it's for younger kids. Zack had fun with somethings, but he is getting older and wants to do the big kids things. It cost money to go into each area, so we didn't go to the other ones. Sorry Zack, Next year. It was still fun. There was face painting, pony rides, wagon rides, animals, lots of games, and more. The kids really liked all the animals and had fun. It was fun to get out and enjoy the nice weather. Thanks mom for going with me. I always love doing things with my MOm and the Kids love being with Nana.

I was watching Zack and Connor get tattoo's, when I look back and this lady is holding a bunny so Brielle could pet it easier. I tried to get my camera, but was a little to slow. I got the picture right as she pulled back from giving the bunny a big kiss.

I had to plead with Zack to ride on the pony. He wanted to at first and then changed his mind. He had fun until he got off and his foot got stuck in the stirrup and he spun around and hit the horse. He was just fine just embarrased.

Connor really liked the wagon ride. He went on it twice. Once with all of us and then once with Brielle and Nana.

lost

Well,if you have ever lost a child no matter in a store or around the house you will know how I felt. I Left to to go to the grocery story with Zack. When I got home I found Marc saying that he couldn't find Connor. At first I thought he must be hidding from him. But as time went on he was no where to be found. Soon MArc was driving the neighborhood calling his name. I was going door to door looking for him with no luck. I call the police and tried to get help. It's hard to try to remember what they are wearing, what they look like, and thinking how could this be happening to me. The police said I had to stay right where I was. How can I stand still and not look for my child. It felt like forever waiting for them. By now I have all the neighbors out calling his name looking for him, it's dark and cold out side. Every scary thought of what could have happened to him or where he could be goes through your head. While waiting for the police, my dear friend Toni found him at a neighbors house down the street. Where he was not to go and especially at night. I prayed so hard that we would find him safe and unharmed. I am very grateful to my heavenly father who lead my friend to think of going to that house. I was so scared that I didn't know where to look or what to do. The very thouhgt of losing a child is so scary. I will not let him out of my sight for the rest of his life. I love him so much and would not know what to do without him.

Pumpkin Patch

The kids have been wanting to pick the pumpkins in the yard for ever, so the other night we finally let them. The night before the snow was to fit. We didn't grow the big 50lb. pumpkins this year. We thought we would stick more to the normal size ones. They are alote easier to pick up. Zack and Connor didn't like the pricky stems. They still had fun. We picked 8 and Left 3 in hopes that they will orange up. Now they want to carve them and think I am so mean that I wont let them carve them yet.

Fall

I finaly got the kids out to go get pictures with the leaves. They where not all that excited to have to take pictures again, but they love me and did it for me:0)Once they were out in the leaves they loved and wanted to pick lots of leaves. I love the fall and all the colors. This year the colors don't seem as bright at some years, but there spots here and there that have the bright color. I was lucky to find a bright spot for these pictures. We went up above Wasatch Golf corse on the road towards Brighton. We luckily did not have to go up very far.


Three of the cutest kids

Baptism

It's hard to believe that we have a son who is 8yrs old. Where has the time gone. I still think of him as my little boy, but he's not so little any more. Zack is almost as tall as me and doesn't fit on my lap to hold anymore.He is growing into such a great boy. Saturday he had a special day, he was baptized. He was baptized by his dad. Two others from our ward were also baptized that day. Zack, Logan and Maddi all looked so happy. The next day at church they all got to sit up on the stand as the new members of the ward. Zack did a great job to sit still the hold time. I am so proud of him that he made the choice to be baptized and become a member of our Heavenly Fathers church. A month ago Zack had his Bishops interview and the Bishop asked him if he wanted to be baptized and Zack said "Yes". He came out of the Office and and Said, "Mom, I get to be baptized". He was was so happy and excited. I love to see how excited he was and is his special day.

King Me!

Zack you are getting so big. To watch you and Bobbob play chess together was fun. You are getting really good. The two of you played a game after Sunday dinner.

2 wheels

A friend of mine gave us a little bike for Brielle. I hadn't put any training wheels on it yet. I asked Connor if he wanted to try to ride a 2 wheeler and he said "YES". I held on while he petaled twice and then he was off. I didn't have to run with him or anything. He thinks he is so big now. Check out the video.

Derby

Zack did not want to start scouts. He said he was scared because he didn't know any thing. We tried to tell him that is what scouts are for so you can learn. The only thing he did look forward to was the pine wood derby. Well he turned 8 just in time. They had the derby last night about a week after his birthday. Well, he was so excited last night that you could hardly keep him in a chair. He was even more excited last night after he won 3 prizes. He got an award for the wisest use of money (we needed his car to weigh more, his car had to be 5oz. or less, so we kept adding pennies to the car until we hit 5oz), he won 1st place for the fastest car in his wolf den and he won 1st place for the fastest overall car. He loved that he had the fastest car there. Lastest night will be a night he wont forget for awhile. Marc and I were just proud of him and glad that he had fun.

Preschool

Connor couldn't wait to go to preschool. The night before he asked me to wake him up as soon as I got up because he didn't want to be late. He looked so grown up and sharp all dressed up ready for school. Once we got to preschool he was so excited he went right in and never looked back. It did help that he knew the teacher from last year. It is really hard to know if you should hold your child back or not and when to start them. Connor is right on the line for the cut off for kindergatern. The rules say you have to be 5yrs. old by Sep 1st. Connor makes the dead line by 6 days. We decided it would be best for him to start next year. We hope we made the right choice. All of his friends are starting kindergarten this year and he's not, which is hard when Connor wants a play date during the day. The plus side for him, not me, is that he will get to drive before kids that he goes to school with. Well the day seemed quiet with Zack and Connor gone in the morning. Brielle wasn't sure what to do with out her play mate Connor. She and I read lots of books and played. The sad part was when she feel down and wanted Connor to kiss her hand, but he wasn't there. Connor wasn't as excited when I picked him as he was when I dropped him off. I asked him how was school and he said, "Not fun'. I asked him why and he said, "Because none of my friends where there". I felt so bad. We wanted to see all of his friends from school last year and they weren't there. I told him he gets to make new friends and he's not sure if he likes that. We will see how things go tomorrow.

up date

Here is a little up date on our basement. We haven't done much for a while because we have been busy with end of summer things and school starting. Marc and I spent our Labor day laboring over the basement. We got the basement all mudded so now we can texture. My Mom was great to come watch the kids so they were covered in the mud. It went pretty fast. The plaster started to fly for a little bit but you have to have fun and it's fun to get dirtty once in awhile.

Swiss Days

I love to go to Swiss days in Midway Utah. Yes there are tonz and tonz of people but I like to look at the booths and get ideas. The kids usually are in the parade with Bobbob and Nana, but this year they got to watch from the side. I think they missed being it in. The kept asking," are we going to be in the parade". I think they liked getting to watch also. Brielle would dance to every float that had music playing. She loves to dance. It was nice to see all our family. We were all together for the weekend. I love getting to spend time with my family. Love all of you.

Ahoy Matey

Zackery and Connor had a pirate birthday party. I'm glad that they will still let me do a combined birthday party for them. I'm sure once they are older they wont let me. This year they decided together that they wanted to have a pirate party. It was to fun to have their friends come, their coisins, and lots of our family. We loved that Aunt Vicky and Uncle Randy could be here to celebrate with us too. We played captain says and had a treasure hunt. It was a lot of fun. I love to watch the joy in their faces as they open their presents and play with their frinds and cousins.
