Starting the family Christmas tradition

2010-12-05T14:33:00.000-08:00

After Holly's Christmas party we decided to start the family tradition of going and seeing the lights on temple square. The new displays were breath taking!!!!!! The kids enjoyed it if you can't tell from the picture.

I'm a big girl now....

2010-11-29T19:21:00.000-08:00

Well the time has finally come, and boy is Cali so excited!!!! this is the first year she has been able to have her own Christmas tree in her room. She picked out the tree skirt, star and the purple ornaments. She even decorated the tree all by her self. She is ready for Santa.

Halloween Candy.......

2010-10-31T07:47:00.000-07:00

Ledger was playing with his Halloween candy this morning trying to get our Yorkie to fetch so he threw it in his kennel. Needless to say the dog was to smart for that. Ledger decided to show the dog how to go the candy. What a cute little boy.

Halloween 2010

2010-10-27T11:32:00.000-07:00

Halloween 2010

2010-10-27T11:29:00.000-07:00

Cali bustin a pose for the camera. We figured this picture would be better than taking one of her now. Cali went over to her friends house to play and tripped on the stairs face first leaving her with a shiner. No need for an eye patch now, lol

Kids say the funniest things.....

2010-10-23T13:22:00.000-07:00

As the family is walking through the pumpkin walk Cali stops in front of this pumpkin that hadn't been cleaned out all the way and said" Mommy this pumpkin still has its "nuts" (pumpkin seeds), you couldn't help but to start laughing.

Hey mom my look at this......

2010-10-23T13:19:00.000-07:00

Cali and Ledger playing while waiting to go through the pumpkin walk

Pumpkin Walk

2010-10-23T13:10:00.000-07:00

Cali was sent home with a flier from kiddie college asking for us to help help her carve it for the pumpkin walk display. The pumpkin wasn't bad at all even though her design had a lot of small lines. What we weren't ready for was the hour and twenty minute wait in line just to get to the entrance to where the Pumpkin walk started. 12-1300 carved pumpkins lit up was quite impressive. We even found her pumpkin which made the night that much more special.

The new fall photo of our two peas in a pod.....

2010-10-04T20:02:00.000-07:00

We are so blessed to have these two in our lives. Even though they have their moments there isn't a cuter moment than when Cali and Ledger give each other hugs and kisses.

Having fun at punpkin patch

2010-10-04T19:57:00.000-07:00

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch this past Saturday and boy did they have have fun!!!!

Someday I will fill my Daddy's shoes

2010-09-07T18:55:00.000-07:00

The changing of the co-pilot

2010-09-03T00:23:00.000-07:00

Well , It has happened.... For the past several years Cali has been Damon's Mowing partner / co-pilot, that is up until Thursday night when we put ledger in Cali's seat to see what he would do. Needless to say he thought it was the coolest thing to go for a ride on the lawnmower. He loved it so much that when Damon took him off he threw a fit. Move over Cali you brother wants a turn.

She has grown up so fast, and now starts her first day of school.....

2010-08-30T06:38:00.000-07:00

Cali is so excited to start her first day of school in Ms. Luann's class. She even picked out her outfit that she wanted to wear. We love you Calvyn !!!!

2010-08-30T06:33:00.001-07:00

End of Summer Fun!

2010-08-23T19:32:00.000-07:00

Damon had a business trip to California planned so we thought we'd make a family vacation out of it. So we drove12 hours for a day and a half of fun just to turn around and drive 12 hours back!! Most people would think we were crazy to do this as a couple but to do it with a 1 and 4 yr old was just dumb!! It may have been a crazy thought but the kids did great until we were about 3 hours form home when we had a tire pressure light come on, Ledge had a blowout which resulted in us just leaving his clothes on the side of the road, and to finish it off just as we got off the exit for home Cali screams "MOM I'M GONNA THROW UP!" Yep that's how it ended with me looking back to see her with a bucket throwing up! Did I mention she forgot to take the lid off the bucket! needless to say we were glad to be home. but as I looked at these pics and the memories we made IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Cali , at the Park city hotel, School clothes shopping at the outlets

2010-08-15T18:29:00.000-07:00

Holly decided we would start a family tradition by going shopping at the Park city outlets the whole weekend for school clothes. Holly says , " We cleaned House up there"!!!!!! After a hard day of shopping Cali was able to go swimming , in her opinion that was he best part of the whole trip.

Ledger Hangin out while Cali and Mom do school shopping in Park city

2010-08-15T18:23:00.000-07:00

Ledger was picking up on all the teenage girls while in Park city. While all the girls passed by him he would wave and say "Hi ya". The reactions of the girls was unbelievable, They would wave back and some would even shake his hand saying " He is so Cute"!!!
Oh boy are we in for it when he gets older.

Uncle Tag and Poppa Dan , she wants to go with you the next time you go

2010-08-15T18:06:00.000-07:00

Cali..... I told you i'm to young to be drivin' !!!!!

2010-07-26T21:39:00.000-07:00

Ledger thinks its the coolest thing when Cali takes him for a ride on her scooter. It is a site to see. He holds onto the mirrors while Cali actually does the steering. Cali is constantly laughing because Ledger is just making all these funny sounds as their cruisin down the sidewalk.

Corn on the cob anyone?????

2010-07-24T16:09:00.000-07:00

We were wondering the other day if Ledger would follow in our footsteps and like corn on the cob like we do, tell us what you think......

It took a few minutes for Ledger to figure out that birthday cake was all about. As you can see from the picture,

He figured it out all by himself. Hearing Grandpa Brad laughing as Ledger was tearing into his cake made the moment even more memorable.

The other day we heard Ledge crying and walked into the front room there was Calvyn holding Ledge rocking him and singing to him. Calvy loves to wake him up in the morning. She flicks the light on and yells "Good Morning Sunshine Boy!" Ledger squints his eyes and smiles and then starts his kicking!! I love my babies!!

I love the way you sing songs to your brother when he is sad and how excited you make him when you do this.Ledgie will look up to you as his example to follow. You will always be the apple of my eye.

Kids say the darndest things!

2009-04-21T10:42:00.000-07:00

So I know that I haven't been the best on keeping things up but last night I was Talking with Ali and she motivated me to put down some of the funny things Cali has been saying...for posterity!! Anyway last weekend we decided that we needed to get some new summer clothes so I told her that if she took a good nap we would go to the mall. So after a good nap she comes running out and says "Mom can we go to the BALL like cinderella?" I could hardly stand how dang cute she was! She is also starting to get a bit of an attitude (ok starting may be pushing things!) but the other day she was pushing both Damon and I to the limit and Damon said to her "Cali your driving me crazy!" So a little while later Damon comes in the house from outside and we start talking. Cali kept trying to get his attention so he could get her some milk and Damon didn't realize she ws talking to him. After a while she finally grabs his leg and says "Dad your driving me crazy!" I just started laughing...

SNOW much FUN!

2009-01-03T08:06:00.000-08:00

Cali has loved the snow. She loves to get out and play on her swingset or her snow tube (what an ANGEL!)...The only thing that would make things better would be to have a brother to play with! She can hardly wait until she can show Ledger the ropes!!

We had a great holiday!!!

2009-01-03T07:53:00.000-08:00

Christmas is soo much fun whe you have a two year old. I will never forget the excitement in her eyes when Santa came into the Christmas party. She had so much fun Christmas morning as well. She loved her new vanity and spent the morning playing with her leapster. Cali is the love of my life and when I see her face on mornings like this it makes all our hard work worth it! I hope you all had as good a holiday as we had!!

We're Expanding things!!!!

2008-11-25T18:04:00.000-08:00

It's true we are finally expanding our FAMILY!!!! In may of 2009 we are expecting our little boy Ledger. We are soo excited and Cali is too. However, I'm not sure she really gets what's going on since the other day she was looking for "baby Ledger" and when I told her he was in my stomach she looked at me like I was crazy. And tonight when my stomach growled she said "Mom, it's baby Ledger!" Anyway hopefully she won't go into too much shock when he gets here and she is no longer the only one trying to steal the show!!

Our little monkey!!!

2008-11-02T16:27:00.000-08:00

Well we had another great Halloween thanks to our wonderful family. Cali loved her monkey costume and had so much fun learning about "Trick or Treating." It is so fun watching her grow up. She was old enough this year to participate in musical chairs and other party games. I love to hear her laugh. Damon was also way excited to be able to go trick or treating with Cal. His bubble burst a little when Cali was done after only one street!!! I told him to be greatful because in a few years you'll be ready to come home and she'll still want to go for another block!

Maryland Trip

2008-10-18T12:17:00.001-07:00

We had a great time in Maryland visiting Damon's parents and seeing the ocean. Cali had a lot of fun getting to know her grandparents. We went for their 25th anniversary party, and Cali was a hit! The party was alot of fun and it was also nice for me to get to know D's fam and friends from back home.

We had a great time just spending time together as a family. We visited the National Harbor and Cali loved seein all the big boats. We also went back to some of the places Damon took me on my first visit to MD. Because of the anniversary party Cali thought everything was a party and was convinced that our trip to the ocean was a "Beach Party." Needless to say she had a lot of fun collecting seashells for "mermaid necklaces" for her and Keni. She also loved "skipping" rocks with daddy.

As good as it is to get away it is always nice to get home again. I can't wait for our next adventure!

The Bartlett News......

2008-09-17T18:51:00.000-07:00

So we have heard lots about this and we figured this would be great for our extended family living outside of Utah, so we thought we would give this a try. Please give us all the advice you have so that we can really make this enjoyable for ourselves as well as everyone that takes the time to view our page.
Well, As of today (September 17,2008) we are exactly two weeks away from leaving to head back east to see Calvyn's Grandparents in Maryland who haven't seen her in person for over a year........ Boy are they in for a rude awakening. She has grown so much since they last saw her that she now reminds us daily when she sees an airplane that she is going to be getting on one to see her Grandma and Grandpa. Holly and Damon are very much looking to get away even if it is for a short period of time ,but with it being Damon's Mom and Dad's 25th wedding anniversary , the party that they will being throwing is sure to be something not to miss out on.
