To all those who visit this.

I feel as though I should apologize for my husbands actions! Just kidding. When we added music to our blog we knew we didn't want to add sappy music, so we decided we would add the music we loved to listen to hence the Jonas Brothers, Barenaked Ladies etc. Then one night after I had fallen fast asleep he jumps onto the blog and adds close to 20 songs. Songs I really didn't understand why he had to add them. However I have put my feelings aside because I really want him to share this with me. Please enjoy the music and if you can't handle it then please just select another song from the bottom or simple pause the song! We want you to continue coming back to share in our life.

PS I love you honey!

Kaas break dancing

Steph Johnson this post is for you!!! I hope you all enjoy the video and hopefully there will be more where this came from. We are trying to teach him how to pop and lock it. Pause our music player to get full effect with sound.

Christmas time is here

Well Christmas has come and gone once again. We did our new Christmas Eve tradition (2nd year) with the Liston's of sledding and treats. Then home to get ready for our Christmas Eve festivities with Jordan's family. Then to Christmas Day.....The kids had a wonderful day, waking up at 7 am to see if Santa had come to our house. Well thankfully he did and brought the kids each a bird house to build, Kaas got a new tool box and Kora got two more Cheetah Girl's Dolls. But the biggest surprise for the kids didn't come from Santa but came from their grandparents. For Kora the two big things this year for her were new golf clubs so she can start junior golf this summer and a Nintendo DS. Kaas' big things this year were a drum set and the new Geotrax Airport. It was a great day spending it together but it was even better putting the kids to bed that night! Man I was exhausted however Jordan and I did manage to stay up past midnight playing Shaun White Snowboarding on new Wii Fit (Thanks Mom and Dad!) I will post pictures later of the drum set, it is awesome! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and were able to enjoy the day with your families.

Thanks

So the other night I was sitting at the table with the kids doing a little art project. I started talking about things I was thankful for and asked Kora and Kaas what they were thankful for. Kora started and said she was thankful for her grandmas and grandpas and her friends and her uncles and aunts. Kaas just said what ever Kora said which cracked me up. Anyways as the kids were winding down their lists I thought to myself..... What! They haven't said they are thankful for Jordan and I. So I started to ask are you sure you aren't thankful for anybody else and Kora looked at me and said Nope that is it! Man being a parent is soooo overrated! Just kidding, I know they are thankful for us but my goodness sometimes it hurts to be a parent.


On a different note..... Kora had the opportunity to go to Disney on Ice with her Aunt Carla. Carla and her husband are missionaries in a Spanish ward downtown anyways one of the families they have grown to love has recently lost their house and is currently living out of the homeless shelter. Well back to my story.... Carla brought two of the little girls with her along with Kora. After the preshow party Carla took the kids to they were handing out Disney coloring books. Carla took the book and played a game to choose which girl would get it. Kora was chosen and saw the look in the other girls eyes and turned around and gave the coloring book to one of the girls. When Kora got home that night and was telling me about her fun time she mentioned that to me and I just teared up. I can't believe my little girl thougth to do that. I am so proud of her for knowing the right thing to do.
