Craft time

I have been out of commission for a week of so in the craft/sewing world. I had to take my sewing maching in to get cleaned and lubed. Now it's back and we are back in biz!! I wanted to embroidery something for my neices for Christmas so I came up with these yesterday. I love them! I am going to start making a bunch to sell at some upcoming craft fairs. Ashlynn's has black ric rac with polka dot pockets and Cami's has white ric rack with red heart pockets.

Trip to the zoo

The boys and I met up with some friends at the zoo yesterday. The kids had so much fun running around and acting like animals themselves! For the first hour our two it seemed like we were the only ones there so it was awesome! Then it started to get crowded and it was our que to leave. Maybe we were the only brave ones to bear the cold!! (ok it wasn't that cold but we had fun pretending it was:))


Carson ready to get his zoo on!!

Blue eyed boys

If case any of you were wondering where my kids get their beautiful blue eyes from, take a look at Carson with his Uncle Jon!
Both Chad and I have hazel eys that change colors depending on what we are wearing. My brother Jon, Cole and Carson all have beautfil blue eyes. It must be a Mudgett thing.

Merry Christmas



The Perham Gang had a wonderful Christmas. We woke up and the boys opened a few presents. Then we took Cole upstairs to show him his main present that Santa had brought...the Train Table!! Cole was in heaven and so excited. Grandma Linda and Granpa Don came over shortly thereafter and we opened some more presents. The kids loved all of their new toys and Carson got some great crawl toys that should get him moving in no time! Daddy had a surprise for me and Cole in the garage. Colie got a new bike and so did mommy!!!
We then headed over to Linda's parents house for Christmas lunch. This was Carson's first time meeting his Great Grandma. We were happy to see them and got a great picture. After visiting the grandparents, we did a pit stop at my Moms who had to work, then headed to my Aunts house for dinner. We had fun visiting with all the cousins and cathing up with everyone. The boys were amazing seeming as we had such a busy day and they only had a brief cat nap in between visits in the car.
Christmas isn't over yet for us. Next week my family comes into town and we have Christmas with my Mom one night and Christmas with my Dad the next! We are looking forward to seeing everyone.

No Way!

Cole has a new phrase - No Way! Chad and I were bowling inside our house and Chad asked Cole if Mommy could have a turn. Cole said 'no way'! Chad and I busted out laughing. Then later we said 'do you want to go to sleep' ,'No Way' was his response. Too cute and just thought we would share.

Fire Station tour...again!!!


We can never get enough fire trucks in this house!! The toddler playgroup in my MOMS Club meets once a month. This month we decided to do a fire station tour. Heck ya we were going. Are you kidding me, Cole is obssed with fire trucks. We had so much fun at the tour. We got to see where they sleep, workout, sat in the truck and even watch Fire Fighter Shawn get dressed in his gear. It ended with a bang as they got a call and had to leave! So, we got to watch them hop on the truck, turn on the lights and head out! Super fun day today.

Cole's first dentist appoitment

Cole had his first dentist appointment yesterday and it went AWESOME! I decided that I wanted the boys to go to the dentist that Chad and I go to because I trust everyone there...and love them. They allotted an hour for his appointment so he could have time to discover and get to know Melanie the hygienist. She was so great with Cole. She showed him all the tools and how they worked and let him play and feel each one. Before you knew it, he was getting his teeth cleaned! I was super impressed. While Cole was in his appointment Carson was hanging out with Colleen playing receptionist for the day!

Melanie showing Cole all the neat things

Cole discovering the sucker tool and thought it was pretty coolMelanie squirted water in his mouth to have a drink. After he was done he would say 'ah' like it was so refreshing or something!Did you guys know that they have flavored gloves? Well, her gloves were grape flavor. She let Cole play with the gloves and then taste them. Before you knew it, she was cleaning his teeth!!Collen had fun tooting Carson around the office and he got to watch Dr. Ghorab in action. She was really working on a patient in this picture!

Holiday Toy Drive

We had so much fun last night at the holiday toy drive at Chandler Mall. If you donate a toy...you get to go for a ride in the fire truck around the parking lot!!! Hooray!!! Cole was going bonkers with all the fire trucks and lights. He kept waiving to each truck as they drove by. Carson was super excited also, i think he could sense it from his big brother!
