Science Fair 2013

Kennedi wanted to participate in the Science Fair this year, which is optional unless you're in the 5th grade.  After looking on Pinterest for days......we decided to do it on sugar crystals.  She had a good time putting the project together, and even though I had the flu, I had fun helping her!

Her board turned out super cute, and if it was judged on looks alone, she would have taken the  grand prize!!! ;)

She won "Honorable Mention", which is the 2nd best, right under "Best in Show"..........she was THRILLED!!

Spiderman Birthday Party

Dax wanted a 

Spiderman Birthday Party 

(current obsession), and he was so exited to have a "friend party"!!

I made these invitations on photoshop......

I didn't go all out for this party, because well, they're 3-4 years old, but Dax kept saying "Wow, this is AMAZING!" , so if he was happy, I was happy!

How lucky is this little boy?!?  These are all of his best friends and they all live on this street!!

We played a few games.......of course there was PIN THE SPIDERMAN ON THE WEB, Brody had to play too!!

And then they got to "practice" their WEBSLINGING skills.  This game was a blast for them......they had to try to  hit the Green Goblin with a can of Silly String, which for these little guys, wasn't as easy as it sounds.  I think Shane got the worst of it!!

Kenna was a big helper, keeping track of everything on her Ipad (of what, I'm not sure), and Brody thought he was just one of the big kids (Bronse slept through all the fun).

Happy 4th Birthday Dax!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Shane and I decided it was probably our turn to host a big NEW YEARS bash.  

We had 6 couples over and had a blast eating, chatting, playing games, and laughing!!!

At the last minute {literally}, I decided I should probably decorate for the shin dig.

I headed down to the local Family Dollar, and lucky me, all their Christmas decor was 50% off, SCORE!!  I grabbed some gold and silver bulb, a gold christmas tree, gold and silver tinsel, and a gold table runner.....and that only came to $11!!

Then, I picked up some balloons from the pharmacy, and was good to go!

I made red velvet cake pops, which are always a hit, and then some YUMMY Tortellini Skewers, you can find the recipe HERE.  I made all the tags on photoshop.

I hope everyone has a great 2013!!!

Christmas 2012

The Knudsen had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

We stayed at home this year, and Grandma & Grandma May-May (Shane's mom and step-dad) and Shelby (Shane's little sister), came and spend it with us.  

This kids are at such fun ages, and it just made Christmas so fun!!

They always get to open 1 present on Christmas Eve, and they KNOW it's going to be PJ's!!

I was really lucky to get this picture of them, where they are both sitting still and some-what looking at the camera!!

Santa came, ate the Dum Dums and drank the Pepsi that the kids left out and left some footprints behind, with Magic  north pole snow that doesn't melt!!

Here is what Santa left the kiddos.......

Kennedi was absolutely thrilled with her Mini Ipad, because she only asked for an Ipod Touch........What can I say, I'm a sucker for making her happy!!

Dax loved his Spiderman Bike.......

The babies were so fun to watch......they were deliriously tired, sense we woke them up at 4:00 am, but they LOVED their slide, and we'll get them on their Striders before summer hits!

Here is a shot of each one opening a present......

After opening presents, we had breakfast and the kids played with all they're toys for a while, and then we packed up and headed to Moab, to have Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa Nelson and the rest of my family.

We hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!!!!

12 Days of Christmas (teacher)

I got the idea from my friend Marci (you can find her blog HERE), to do the 12 Days of Christmas for Kennedi's teacher....and Kennedi had a BALL with this!!

12 Day of Christmas (Baby Gender Reveal)

So I have 2 sister-in-laws that are pregnant and both due in May.  They have both had their ultrasounds and they don't know what they are having but I DO!!!  They both wanted to find out in a fun way on Christmas and put me in charge........and I'm so thrilled to get to do this for them!!

I thought it would be so cute to do the 12 Days of Christmas for each of them, so everyday they get to open a gift and have a cute poem to go with it.

Here's how it all went down........
