Christmas!

Hope Everyone had a Merry Christmas!  We had a good one.  We were all so spoiled by everyone.  This top picture^ was Christmas Sunday   They both looked so handsome! Do you love the picture of them falling! ...or me taking the picture and not helping them!!....They never cease to amaze me with their spazzyness. But  we went to church with Rye's mother and siblings, which was so nice.  Then we went and had a party at their house.  It so fun!  That night we went to Enterprise.  We got up and started making our rounds to visit all the different great grandmas and grandpas.  The Woods' house is always a blast, and we ended the night at Grandma Rohdes Christmas eve party.  I look forward to this every year!  It was rough getting all the kids to bed, but did.  And the party began the next morning!  They were to overwhelmed with their gifts!  Holden was in shock and heaven at the same time.   Knox was in a bad mood, but still loved all he got.  He was so sleepy.  After opening gifts we headed to Rye's parents and spent the rest of the day.  It was nice and relaxing!  We have had a great week.  The next day we headed to St George with my siblings and their spouses, left the kids, and went to diner and a movie.  Laughed a lot and had a great time!

Their picture with Santa at the mall!  They were sooooo funny!  They both just ran up there and jibber jabbered like Santa was their long lost buddy....Reminded me of the movie Elf.

The Nativity at Ryes mom and dads, and aunt Emmi cuddling  with Holden during it. ...And Holden wearing Fairy wings, he was the Angel, haha.
Christmas eve party at Grandma Rohde's.


Christmas morning!  The kids waiting to go upstairs to open gifts.


And how the morning ended haha!!!  By about 8:30 when we started making breakfast this is how they both were!   Knox fell asleep on his stuffed animal at the table  during breakfast and Holden was throwing a fit!! ......Still was a great Christmas!

Christmas TrEe!

 Last week we went and got our tree!!  This is our first time getting a real tree.   We loved it.  We had fun finding one. It is pretty right??  What you cant tell is there literally isn't one branch on the back side, haha!  But you cant tell.  We have had a tradition since Holden was born that every year they both get to pick an ornament So our tree is so funny!  It's got lighting McQueen, Mater, Tonka trucks, and other "BOY" things.......Were not to fancy.  I go to my moms for that, Holy cow!

Holden went coyote calling for the first time.  It was so exciting for him and Rye.  They got up around five a.m and headed out!  I had to get a picture of this first, the bottom one Rye sent me from his phone....My big boy!   He is so lucky to have his two future best friends. 
I had to add this phone shot because what four and two year old love Thai Curry and Sushi!  They make momma proud.


Holden Ran Away for the first time!! 
 It was the most exciting thing that has happened to our family in a while, haha!  We were doing our annual family wrestle off.  And Rye was sitting on me, because I was rubbing his color bones, which he hates!  And our moody Holden got so mad at Rye!  Holden is very very protective  of me.  Long story short, he just sprouts off "I'm outta here!" .....Were like what??  And he says, he is runnin away.  Our jaws hit the ground!  So he sits on the ground and starts putting his shoes on.  He grabs his stuffed animal, Ribert, and Goes to leave. So I said but you need food don't ya?  And hes says, ya.  So I handed him a loaf of bread, haha!!!  We were acting so sad, but it was so dang funny, hes getting to old!  It was very dark outside.  We all stood by the door all sad like, and Knox was saying "don't dow, hoho, dont dow!"  It was very dramatic.  Then he just started walking, stuffed animal, loaf of bread, and all!  I shut the door, but Rye snuck down the driveway to hide and watch where he went.....We're the worst parents ever!!  But I watched him get to our neighbors driveway....Maybe forty feet from our house, Then he Takes off running like he saw a ghost!!  He didn't see us watching him, so he ran right by Rye.  But he was coming home!  He gets to our sidewalk and Totally wipes out!!!  But hops right back up, and runs in the house.  He was so out of breath, and says while trying not to cry " I saw a bad Guy and a witch, and the witch was going to get me!!!"  So I said, Guess your not running away? And he says nope. He says I went ALL the way to Carls house.  So, I held him, and Told him he better stay with us, cuz there's witches all over out there...........The End.

Thanksgiving weekend


 We had a great thanksgiving weekend!  It started out like ^ This ^..Rye got home from work early that morning so he was so tired!  Where do I fit on the bed, Right??   HaHa!  But we spent thanksgiving with Rye's family in Saint George at His sister Cassie's house.  It was so nice, and the food was great!  

That night we took the boys to Enterprise and headed to do some Black Friday shopping.  Rye and I never do this....like ever!  But we had so much fun.  We finished up the boys' Christmas then hit a Movie, and I totally stayed awake.  I'm a huge sleepy weaney. All nighters don't happen to me often these days.  Our whole night was kinda romantic, our candle lit meal at Jack in the box, and all!  HaHa j/k, but we has a blast.

The next day was the Moyle family Christmas party.  It was so fun.  There was a talent portion of the show, and of course my family had to get involved.  Im sure you have all seen the videos on facebook, so I wont go into detail.  There was even an ugly sweater contest  though!  It was fun.  I have so much to be thankful for!  


He got so dirty playing in the sand box..He's licking it off.

Notice his little cast, he has a  buckle fracture. so sad.

A SpOoKy Halloween!

 I love Halloween!  I think just because my kids have so much fun!  Ours was especially spooky, as you can see.  Holden wanted to be a vampire so bad, we had him a different costume , but that day we decided to let him choose.  He was a very scary vampire to!  Knox, poor kid, had no chose, he went as a hippie, and made such a cute/funny one. Rye was actually home!!  He even took all the kids trick or treating, I think he was so happy just to finally be home for a Halloween.    


 Thanks for the pictures mom!  Here are all the cousins, looking cute as ever.  My mom went all out, as usual, and had a party for them.  She also decorates so dang cute, and had so much yummy food.
 Great grandma and grandpas house.  
 But their VERY first stop was grandma Debbie's!!  

This is a funny picture, but it fits, because it was a funny night.  We had a girls Halloween party in saint George with some of Sam's and Rikki's Friends, then we headed to witches night at krumpets! This picture does my mom no justice for how funny she looked!!  I actually won a gift card from them, which I feel I deserved with how dumb I looked!

lovely update time

The latest and the greatest with my family....
A few weeks ago we went crawdading and had a blast

The Boys Love playing outside, of course!  I love seeing them haul each other around in their "truck" haha!

 Holden Got his first pocket knife, he only gets to use it with dad, but he was so exited he didn't know what to do with himself.

We love to wrestle at our house, we are convinced we have to future Olympians!
Yesterday for FHE we went pine nut picking, we did pretty good to!  Knox worked hard for five or ten minutes and handed me three pine nuts!  We had fun though!

Holden Rowe:  For my personal record
He asked me if I had my pyramid........I am not joking.  He just came right up to me all concerned and said "Mom, do you have your pyramid??"  It took me a second to get what he was asking....My period. 

He really wants me to have another baby.   He loves babies and is always trying to let people let him watch their babies, haha!  I told him we have our own baby, Knox.  He got so mad and says he wants a new baby, Knox is a Lemon!!! I laughed so hard and had to agree!

He wants to be a Dr.   I did not influence this decision he just wants to be one so bad.   The kid buys bandages at walmart instead of toys.  I told him to go play fire trucks and he said he couldn't because he was not going to be a fireman, he was a Dr.  Then he continued to go on and tell me he would take good care of me and Taysha..that's his new aunt... when he becomes a Dr, haha!  Then he continued to tell me for my birthday he would buy me a summer house??  Summer house? 

He recently had six teeth replaced in his mouth!  It was so sad.  But they had to sedate him for it at the children's Dental clinic.  It was sooooo funny, yet sooooo sad.  He was such a trooper, the things that kids was saying makes the youtube kids look like nothing!  But we are so happy with his new smile!

We were having family home evening and it was on what our church believes in, general stuff.  But we talked about getting married.  This is a sensitive subject for Holden, because he wants to live with me forever.  But I told him he would  get married and have his own family, and find a wife.  He sat there then he got soooo sad and says "But mom, your already married to dad! and I want to marry you!"  He is still my boy...

He plays house with Knox and a daily basis, he is the dad and Knox is his baby, it is pretty funny!
We love our Hogers!

Knox:♥

If you ask him what his name is you will get one of a few answers.  Somdays it's Booty..He is trying to say booey, his nick name.  Or you might get BOO EEEE!!  loud and two words.  Or theres baby monster truck, or baby T'rex, or Doobie.  It has never been Knox.  He cant even kinda say knox.

I love when he says barbecue sauce.  it sounds like Baba Q shosh...Three words, haha!

He reminds me of a  little fast pixy elf, that runs around the house a hundred miles an hour.  Somedays he totally gets going to fast and gets wiped out by random walls.   Those fast Little legs make my day!

He has an accent...I don't know what is is, but its different.

He does not want a baby, and gets so bad if that is spoken of.  He says to me, "I a toot baby of the house, hu mom??"  He is the cute baby of the house!

He still ends up in bed with me everyday, drives me nuts.  This morning he was laying against the wall across the pillows at the top of the bed......ugh.  When Rye is gone, he knows it.  He waits until Holden is asleep, then he makes his move.  He starts by just walking in my room, I send him back to bed, then he starts with one leg out his door, rubbing it up and down the wall.  I think he is testing me.  Then slowly the rest of his body makes it out.  This is like a two hour process.  Finally, I will be about a sleep, watching TV in bed, when BAM!  Hes on the bed, haha!  I always look at him, but he wont make eye contact, he literally has his face turned the other direction, and he is always smiling!  He is such a stinker!!  Yes, I let him stay, he always works so hard.

He is his dads boy.  Any thing that is cool, is his dads.  Trucks, trailers, rims, football players, you name it.

He still has his baby animals.  He loves these things. He calls them "his babies."  He is not affectionate at all but he is with these dumb things.  Theres puppy, of course, then Oli, the elephant, then theres baby horse.  They are all members of the Fitzwater family.

He still has his nasty blanket.  He truly needs this thing.  He panics without.  We let him choose between keeping Binky or Blanky.  And he actually chose blankey.  That says a lot.  It is so gross  though.

He tries to kiss me like how Rye does....It's gross, but I appreciate the gesture.

We love our little lemon!
 
I LOVE the holiday season!!  So many fun things going on!
