Finally!

I was put in charge of decorating for our ward Christmas party, so I had been procrastinating decorating my house. It just did not make much sense to decorate then undecorate, seeing as in how I pretty much took all of my , my sisters and my moms decorations to the church. well so the party was last saturday and we were finally able to put up our decorations but most of all our tree. this year was olivers first Christmas and Tristons fourth. we had a good time hanging up the ornaments. I have a love hate relationship with this holiday. Lot's of money spent, crowded stores, busy streets, bad weather, but nun the less Christmas is my most favorite holiday:) .

What can I say but, AHHHHHHHHHH. We loved it, We loved him! (Shhh don't tell our husbands.)
It was so much fun! We had been planing this little adventure for some time now and we were ecstatic to be going. We laughed so hard that at times there was some close calls as far as the possibilities of throwing up were involved. then doors opened. It was a scramble for seats but we ended up getting the best in the house. Then the movie started. IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!! Minus the noise to the right of us ( girls madly in love with Jacob Black and not afraid to voice it.) and above us ( girls, one in particular who was trying to compete on who could be the loudest fan.) but all in all we had a blast and the movie was grrrreattt!! Edward was so Hott he made my teeth sweat! ( a line I learned off of Saved by the Bell). If you haven't read the book, Read It! if you haven't watched the movie, Watch IT! If you don't Like the book, I am sorry you can't enjoy a good fantacy when you see it. Jk. Anywhoo the point is I loved loved loved it. it is my new fav right along with pride and prejudice ( the long one not the short one.)

His surprise from ebay. The whole gang Dragon Tales is his most favorite show!

One happy Birthday Boy!

Dragon Tales stuff is really hard to find. Really you can only get it on ebay. When we found this book at Once Upon a Child we were ecstatic.

His Aunt January made him this awesome quilt with all his favorites.

On October 30th our first turned Three years old. Holy cow how time flies! We decided to decorate the house before he woke up so from the second he got up that morning he would feel special right off the bat, Triston is always special to us but there is no harm in making it a little more obvious now and then. For his second Birthday surprise he got to go to work with Daddy for a little while that morning, Which he loves to do but rarely gets the opportunity. The rest of the day he got to spend it with boring Ol Mom, who tried to make it fun for him by letting him eat what ever he wanted and playing what ever his little heart desired. Triston's "Birthday" was a little confusing to him however. You see he calls my parents Rampa and Rampa Birthdays, so you see he kept thinking we were going over to there house. which led to his second confusion, why did we not go over to Rampa and Rampa Birthdays house? At the end of the day we had quite the birthday party for him. Lets just say our house was busting at the seams. Note to self- only invite kids his age and the grandparents. Results- less people which leads to stress reduction and fewer anxiety attacks. We also decided he did not need anymore toys so I pulled out the crafty bone and made most of his birthday, and got him a few surprises off of ebay.

List Takers!

Thanx to my dear friend Jessica Higbee for this great idea,
She always comes up with the best projects to do and she
always does such a wonderful job! she truly is so incredibly
talented at EVERYTHING she does. ( this list taker was for
a friend of mine who watched my kids for me.)

This one's MINE!!! I am so excited!

Another special thanx to my also very talented older sis
January. She helped me figure out how to make these aw-
some list takers. All she had to do was look at Jessica's pictures on her blog and away she went. If only I could be half that talented. I suppose my day will come through trial and error.Thanx Sugar your the best.

Baby Cleavage

Sporting off his goods. When I was taking the picture and told him to "work it" I didn't think he knew what I was talking about. I guess they are smarter than we think, but what a sweet face. Maybe next time I will put him in a turtleneck.

Muddy Buddy!

Running through the mud

Laughing and having a good time

Cade Smart (At least he had a shirt on)

Triston looking like a Mad German

This picture was too funny. He was in the process of falling out of a bucket of water.

Yesterday I was at Misty's helping her with a few computer things when I ran outside to check on the boys
(Cade&Triston) and to tell the Shwans man I would be home when he stopped by. as I was heading back to the house this is how I found them. Poor Misty, every time I am at her house there is some huge mess to clean up, and by mess I mean Mud, Poop, Pee all that good stuff and when Cade is over there is never anything to clean up but toys. Sorry Misty I guess when it comes to the Burgess clan HUGE MESS is our middle name.

Bike Ride!

I finally was able to go and buy myself a bike. This was a long overdue investment. So yesterday I decided to go and take the boys on a ride to Andrews shop. Heck that would be no big deal, that was just down the road and across the way. Ha, what a joke! who did I think I was? an Olympic clyclist? (sp). I had to stop three times to catch my breath then push the bike and trailer up a few hills. By time I got to Andrews shop I was beat red and about ready to pass out and collapse underneath my weak knees. So like an idiot I am going to attempt the ride one more time to my friend Misty's house. At least this time, Andrew informed me I should take the Highway this time instead of the four wheeler trail. (I swear he told me not to ride on the Highway) This ought to make things easier.

~My little cabooses~

They loved the bike ride! However when it came time to go home Andrew rode the bike and I drove the four wheeler. The bike think will get easier I just have to get back in shape and get used to pulling a trailer.

My Friend Jessica Higbee came to visit and we decided to take the kids to the park, this is Triston and Addie going down the slide together.

Pausing for a quick smile to humor there moms.

Ollie has started to roll over. I layed him down at my moms house for a nap and when I came back to check on him this is how I found him.

Never wake a sleeping baby no matter what position they are in, as long as it is safe.

Andrews mom and husband are up visiting and Triston LOVES his Grandpa Steve, he never wants to leave his side. Grandma and Grandpa Ridley were heading out the door and Triston thought that if he put on his water boots and hat, that would give him a ticket to leave with them. however his little plan didn't work and the poor kid had to stay home with his parents.

Then Great Grandma Weaver came to stay with us while Andrew worked on her car, She probably left exhausted and ready to go home after climbing stairs all weekend and humoring a little toddler. He sure had a good time with her and followed her around like a lost puppy.
