My son decided he need to make me pretty

The other day Chandler told me he was going to make me pretty... Then he proceeded to put stickers all over my face and arms. LOL It was the best and really it TOTALLY made me feel pretty! WARNING I HAVE NO MAKE UP ON... I do look a bit scary

STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE!
CHEESE!

Shumway Tradition

Every year the Shumway family makes these cute little trains out of candy. I got a few shots with my new CAMERA! YAHOO!

Great picture! Look at that sweet smile
One of our trains. Hinckley took a train to his teacher at school and her assistant. THEY LOVED THEM!
That picture is so crisp!

Our Christmas present

So we decided to get a pretty awesome deal on Black Friday for our Christmas present. I have been dying to get one since the moment I found out I was pregnant with Hinckley.... So I have to figure out how to use it in order to use it FOR Christmas... Thats why I have some FUN PICTURES to show you.

Yes we bought a sweet camera!

Love this little boy

Love this boy too!

Snow, school delays, New job and an addition to the family

The National Guard had a special 60 day reintegration event in Park City this past weekend. They went all out in renting out these fabulous resorts, babysitters, food and all sorts of goodies.... Well, except fly in out of state soldiers. LAME. WAY LAME. The one I REALLY WANTED TO GO TO they dont fly us in. OH WELL.

Park City seemed to come to us anyway in the form of snow!

We had so much snow, ice and FREEZING COLD temperatures that school was cancelled Monday with a 2 hour delay Tuesday. I LOVED HAVING HINCKLEY HOME. IT was great!

This picture below shows some of our snow and..... OUR NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY!!!!

I am going to call her YODA! Troy wants to call her Rapunzel.... Rapunzel? REALLY TROY... LAME. That little 1985 Toyota Camry is a Yoda. Old and wise she SCREAMS!
Troy had a successful first day of work at the MDC. It is a correctional facility. For family home evening last night and we made our annual Christmas candy trains. I think we made 13 or 14 of them. WHEW! It was fun
Some of our finished products
I have some more fun updates to share in the near future! We've had some change in plans, shift in plans, new plans, unexpected plans and all sorts of fun things going on. Hang in there and come back for more I will update more soon!

Not dead but we did go to Vegas

It has been forever since I have blogged. So much to tell you and so much to go over! But lets start with our wonderful trip to Las Vegas. Originally Don and Kathy (Troys parents) were going to come visit on their way to see their daughter in Texas right around Thanksgiving. Well since we were not in our own place we had to rearrange our plans. I was really devastated when things didn't work out that way until plan B came along. We decided to drive to Vegas and it was the best Thanksgiving! I got my braces off the Monday before Thanksgiving so we didn't get to leave until about 7pm. It actually worked out great, I LOVE traveling at night while the boys sleep. Chandler didn't fall asleep until about midnight but at least he was quiet. We had a blast! THANK YOU DON< KATHY AND KRISTIN!

At the coolest park ever. Chandler saw this lizard and said, "OH! HI Lizard."

Then he thought it was okay to pet it
Then they became friends
Daddy helping him dig
Guess where I got to go to.......

The pawn shop from Pawn Stars. IT WAS SUPER LAME and dirty and white trash and overpriced but fun!
Thank you Kris for coming with me
My boys getting along! It was great
More time at the park. I think we went about half a dozen times
He loved the lizard
And the teeter totter....
So happy!
Loving it!
Guess who was on the other side of it.....

GRANDPA!
He enjoyed it just as much as Chandler
Troy trying to go down the tube slide. It made for a great laugh
Then he opted for this slide
Still funny
And Chandler was right behind him
Grandpa went down the tube slide... He is such a good sport
Hinckley climbing the rock wall
And going down the slide
One night we went over to the Bellagio. It was breathtaking. Most of these pictures were taken by Hinckley. All these things are made out of flowers.
Well, except the real pumpkins. I think Kristin broke off a stem on one of these. WOOPS!
AMAZING!
The talking tree... Pretty darn cool!
Chandler mesmerized by everything
More pumpkins
After looking around the Bellagio we went down on the strip for a bit because Hinckley was DYING to see this storm trooper. He was in heaven!
Thank you crappy phone camera for taking crappy pictures
Grandpa and Chandler
I got to hang out with my bestie Meagan most of the day. She drove all the way up just to see me. It was awesome to walk the strip, laugh, remember the good old days, and talk about our futures. I am super stoked for some things in her future and I hope they happen soon for her! LOVE YA MEAGAN! She took some great pictures I need to get from her.
Hinckley was playing on my iphone the other day and made this just for you Grandma... It made me smile!
