A couple of cuties

Keili in her 1st tumbling appearance. She was scared. This also has a fun video of Miley learning to cut paper at the end. I had her on my lap and it was the funniest thing ever. She would get SOOOO excited. It's cute.

Just some fun pictures

What the heck just happened?

SO... last night Davey asked me if he could stay home with me while Nicole took Dave to Provo, with the rest of the kids. I said yes, but he had to let me watch the Jazz game/Dancing with the Stars. He agreed. Okay... let's reminisce for a moment. Let's think back on the days when Davey thought Aunt Tahnee was freakin' awesome. Ahhhh... those were the days. I have a picture at my desk of him on my shoulders at the zoo... right after I taught him to spit (hey... how else do you teach a 1 year old what a camel says?), and another picture of us at my work party luau... so fun, so cute... SO....AWESOME!
Okay... so a pose a question: How do you go from Awesome Aunt Tahnee rocks my world... to...

THIS...

Davey put this on my back last night. Sweet little Davey did this to Awesome Aunt Tahnee... It's mind baffling! JUST MIND BAFFLING!!!! He thought he was SOOOOO funny too. Then he proceeded to out do him self and created a packet, which I might add, he was anything but subtle when he pushed my head forward and attached it to my back... I left the "packet" on my back for his entertainment for about 10 minutes . Then I took it off to find the following....

Just to clarify I will italicize what these say

"This is my photo"Okay... can you please look at the person in the photo. Pay special attention to his hair. I say "his" because the person is BALD ON TOP! What the...

Next...

"Tahnee's butt"

Okay... there is a funny story behind this picture. So... here is our dialog:
Me: What is this?
Davey: Your butt (he is dying laughing)
Me: Well is that a giraffe?
Davey: (still laughing) Yeah
Me: Well, what? You think my butt looks like a giraffe?
Davey: No, this is your butt (pointing to the oval shape next to the giraffe). I just drew the giraffe so you could see how big your butt was compared to a giraffe.
Me: (jaw drop)

I have to give him credit for creativity and being so thorough. Good thing he's only 8.

Next...
"I Stupid"
This one is my favorite, which is why I graced it with a picture of my head.

"This is the size of my brain"
(note... the pea size circle underneath)

And... can I point out that I do look a little "handicapped" in this picture. LOL. And I am sick, so my nose is stuffed up and I can barely breathe... Which is why I left this picture and didnt' take another one... I thought it was fitting. Davey is laughing his head off when I read this one, and goes
"that probably is the size of your brain" and I was like "ha ha... you're so funny!".

How do kids go from sweet, loving, kind, to freakin rude? And so fast. LOL!
It really was funny. The twirp!

Happiest Halloween EVER

So... this year I ventured out and asked Nic if I could make Keili and Miley's costumes. It was fun. Keili wanted to be Cinderella and Nic and I thought Miley would make a cute Jeanie. I spent a ton of time on Keili's because I didn't have a pattern and I wanted it to look just like Cinderella. I messed up the white hip thingys a couple times so that is what took the most time. Trial n Error... ya know. Davey went as a mummy. Nic did an awesome job with his costume, and Alex was a Lion (see a few pics down).
Here is a good one of all 3. Keili looked SO FREAKING CUTE. I don't think any of these pictures do her justice. I might have gloated a little. Okay... Nic may have told me at one point to come down off my high horse. LOL. But that was only because she killed all the other Cinderella's at the ward party.

Okay... i have to say, that this is what a Jeanie costume will look like when you are making it on a lot of medication. Plus, she wouldn't keep the face cover-uper-thingy on. And I didn't have a pattern for hers either. We all agreed it didn't really look like a Jeanie, but at least it looked like a costume. Eh... you can't win 'em all.Sorry... I have a piece O crap camera...

This one you can see Alex in his lion attire.
This is Alex in the back of the expedition for the trunk or treat. His eyes look kind of freaky in this picture. Pretty fitting for halloween I'd say...
he loves himself some suckers. LOL
Davey... I can't decide if he didn't want his picture taken, if he was sad, or trying to play like a mummy....
Dave taking the girls trunk or treating
After we trunk or treated, we drove to Mom and Dads to suprise them. This is us ringing in the holidays and saying goodbye to Halloween. We grew up listening to the Osmonds Christmas and one of the funnest songs on the album is "It never snows in LA" and Nicoles kids LOVE LOVE LOVE that song....

Tune in...

A bunch of jumpin' jacks...

Friday night Nic and I took the kids to Jumpin' Jacks. We kidnapped two cuties from Coalville and went. Okay... Sarah may have assisted us in kidnapping them by meeting me and cramming them and all their belongs :0) in my car. And I mean ALL THEIR BELONGINGS. LOL! (j/k Sarah). First of all... this is too funny not to tell you guys. I got in trouble by Sarah. Sariah "told one me" because last time, when she had a sleep over, I didn't put the TV on a channle, like Disney. I put on a Disney Movie (Sariah is like me and falls asleep with the TV on), so Sarah told me "Now Tahnee (total sarcasm, with slight reprimanding) You have put the TV on a channel, not on a movie!!!". LOL! Sorry, but it was funny. Okay... so back to the party... when we were on our way, Sariah kept telling me "you know, Me and Bubba are afraid of EVERYTHING." She was a bit nervous, don't you think. Well it took a little coaxing, but Nic started them out on the little bouncy stuff... I had to coax Bubba A LOT more than Sariah. (See Below)Yeah... Riah... she had NO PROBLEM attacking.... WELL.. everything!


BUbba wouldn't come in because he was deathly afriad. I picked him up and he let me hold him and jump, then we put him on the slide and he was good to go after that....


See... Sariah... beating up everything. Here is her fist of furry.
And her karate chop... that tree-a bit, FAT, GONER!!!

She means business... this is a great Sariah stress reliever I think.
We then graduated them to a bigger slide. Again... it took a lot of coaxing on Bubba's part. Well... actually, if we were honest I would say it took me picking him, (his legs may have kicked a few times) and handing over the giant wall to Nic, who then put him on the slide (see below)

And then he was fine.... Silly Bubba.
Miley... she pretty much has no fear. I think Nic's kids sucked all the "lack of fear" genes from the rest of the the family cause MAN... those suckers just climbed all over everything.
Here is Alex... See how excited he is... he is about to go down the slide. Oh... but wait...
Wasn't really all he thought it would be. LOL! This is my favorite picture. Look how scared he is... LOL. He never cried though. I picked him up and he smiled his big Alo smile at me...
Here goes Bubba and Moey again.
Bubba was a champ once he got the first attempt under his belt.
Awe.... Nic, being a kid again. This is a cute picture I think.
I tried to get Moey climbing through this... she's lightning fast... little terd.
We gave all the kids red contact lenses... you know... for effect.

LOL! This is Miley after she got bounced RIGHT OFF the big bouncy ship. She landed on the ground on her butt, gets up (right here) and goes "Mi-yee scared!" LOL! But she never cried.
Keili on the ship slide. Okay... below is a picture of Me, Miley and Sariah. Sariah wanted to go on this slide but wanted me to go with her, so did Miley, you know, after the previous picture of her getting bounced out of the thing. So... we climb up the tunnel to the top. We get to the second to last step and Sariah FREAKS OUT! Literally. Crying. Wanting to go back. There are a herd of kids behind me trying to push past, the terds (one of them Davey by the way) and I'm trying to get Sariah and Miley to just sit up at the top. I had to try to pick them both up, put them on my lap. Sariah is screaming and Miley is crying holding on to me for dear life. It was great times. SO.. this is me finally getting them on my lap and going down the slide, they both cried the whole way. I graduated from Awesome Aunt Tahnee to Awful Aunt Tahnee in a heartbeat. LOL.

Bubba, afraid to go in the big bouncy rainbow. It broke my heart...
He'd sure run underneath it though.
The giant slide. This is so much fun... Davey going for it.
Nic and Davey... and Miley, but you can't see her. You had to push her all the way up... she's too little.

Do you think she looks scared? She went up again right after... LOL
Okay... this is me... at the end. Nic wasn't supposed to take my picture, but she did. At least it's dark. :0)
It was so much fun!!! We all had a blast. Sariah and Kempton had fun... with just a few little kinks in the night. We were glad to take them! Now Keili keeps asking when we are going back. This is my favorite place to take the kids. I LOVE IT!!!!!
