Wrap of 2010 ...

This year my sister Jess and her family came up from Arizona. It was my Mom's 50th Birthday this year so they came up for that and Christmas. Happy 50th mama! Here is Lleyton and his cousin Codan, aren't they adorable. Lleyton loves his cousins! We are so glad they were able to come up, we had so much fun. This was our bowling venture, we were glad they switched the time so Josh could go to. This was Lleyton's first time bowling.



Jadyn and Lleyton.

Josh bowled with Rhyder every single time and Rhyder loved every second. Josh's arm however not so much ...
Rhyder at my parents wanting to get in on the action of ginger bread house building.


Lleyton and Josh's ginger bread house.


Brody and Lleyton the snitch.


Annual Christmas Eve pic at my parents house. What the heck is up with my bangs??


The gang at my parent's Christmas Eve party. My parent's have the biggest sectional I've ever seen in my life. I think in this pic there is 12 people sitting on it. Good times with the Martinelli's and family:)


Christmas Eve Jammies. I was so excited when I found these. Lleyton is OBSESSED with superman and he always calls Rhyder Batman so it was perfect. He loved it. My only problem now is getting him out of the Superman pj's. He always begs to wear them when we run errands. Sadly sometimes i let him if we're just running to the grocery store or what not.



Christmas Morning. Sooo fun when you have kids.



Did I mention my kids hate clothes?


Lleyton and Rhyder both got four wheelers but Rhyder hasn't quite figured out how to keep the button down. He stops, goes, stops, goes. In the end it was easier to put him on the back of Lleyton's and he still had a blast.


A random one of my cutie!

New Years! Hope your a good one 2011.


Josh's Mom has a tradition of doing Chinese on New Year's we went down and had the yummiest chinese. I have been craving it ever since. It was fun listening to his Grandma give us her life story while the kids stole food off her plate haha. She's partly blind she can only see straight ahead so Rhyder took advantage by throwing shoes at her and stealing food off her plate. She never saw it coming. It was pretty funny, she was a good sport about it.


My greatest joy in life is being a Mom to these two boys. Oh how I love them.

Thanks everybody, have a Happy Holiday!

I love the Holidays:)

K so this is a bit late but oh well:) This was rainy Halloween. It was an interesting night. My Dad ended up in the Hospital with Kidney stones and Josh's Mom was recovering from surgery for a hernia. We went to Josh's Mom's Trunk or Treat and called it a night. Our wards Trunk or Treat was inside but I didn't realize it was soo early.



Thanksgiving time! We decorated the tree I think a day after, sorry these are out of order.


Playing the Wii with Grandma Becky while we waited for the Turkey to finish cooking. We do Thanksgiving Dinner at our house with Josh's side, and lunch with my side.

The cute little turkey's Josh's Mom made. Love these! Used to make them in school for Thanksgiving parties, brought back all sorts of memories ... aw childhood, I miss it.


At my grandparents house. Our annual Thanksgiving pic.

Don't know if you can see this but Josh and Lleyton colored this great Thanksgiving picture. Lleyton was quite proud:)


Christmas Time! Rhyder and Santa. Isn't this picture priceless, I love it.



Lleyton and Santa! He was soooo excited. He kept saying "mom I'm so excited" even after. It was really cute. He kept asking all sorts of questions about the North Pole and Santa. Can't wait for Christmas this year!

Pirates, ice, gum, jeeps, and sleep:)

This is what I need to do, sleep. Oh sweet sleep, I am at least glad someone is getting some sleep around here. It has been quite crazy, fun, scary, and stressful. Oh but oh how we enjoy the ride called life. Here are some updates, I cannot find our old crappy camera so I haven't posted Halloween pics ... soon though hopefully.


Soooo, here is our jeep that we love. We however are going to sell it. We don't really need two cars right now and it will help with the funding of our new business venture, the boutique:) With that being said, if you no anyone who wants a commander, we've got one. We are asking 17,900, which is 1,000 under what Kelley Blue Book says we should ask. It is an 08' and only has 28,000 miles. We seriously love it and will be sad to see it go.


So we went to Disney on ice and the kids loved it! My parents were going to take us to dinner for helping them move, instead we decided to take the money and spend it on Disney on ice. So thanks! Lleyton's eyes seriously lit up like it was Christmas morning, he loved it!! Rhyder was so cute too, he was clapping and singing along. So funny.


Right before the show started.


Here is Lleyton's bald spot. He got it from this ...


Gum stuck in his hair:) So, after we cut it out I found out from Josh's Mom that you can use peanut butter to get gum out of hair. Oh well, hair grows and at least he's not a girl.


My little pirate! So this will have to suffice until I find my camera. Josh's mom went to Walmart after Halloween and spent like 6.00 for 5 different costumes! So smart, the kids totally love to play dress up and we'll be ready for Halloween next year!

Also, I've been updating the Little Cheeks Blog so check it out www.littlecheeksboutique.blogspot.com, we will be having a Black Friday sale next week Fri 12 am to 2 am, so you can still get to the lines in time for the 3 am sales.

Also, I now have my facebook page up for Little Cheeks so PLEASE join:) The blog is now up also, littlecheeksboutique.blogspot.com.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me. It has meant a lot to me. It is a scary and exciting time. There obviously no way I will succeed without support.

I especially need to thank my husband. Josh has been my rock. He has spent countless hours painting, putting together furniture, and helping me in so many ways. He recently quit his job, and there is no way I could make this happen without him. It has been a dream of mine to own my own business. Early on as a Mom with two boys I began to find so many cute things for girls but not boys. I decided then that I wanted to open a store for girls and BOYS. Another important thing was to make it in a reasonable price range. There is no way I could do any of this without my hubby. Thanks babe for giving me the chance to make a dream come true! I love you.
