Thanksgiving weekend

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving this year! It started off by running the Turkey Waddle, which was a 5k run to help support our Nephew Troy and help pay his medical bills. Our plan was to trade off pushing the kids, but after 3/4 of a mile Noah ditched me, so he got to push them the whole way. And he did it about 20 min. faster than me. Little bugger!!
The Wendt Family
The Tyler Gang
Us with the boy of the hour, Troy!Then it was off to have two amazing Thanksgiving dinners. First, at my parents then on to the Tylers.
Friday I woke up early to partake of the Black Friday sales! Noah's sisters and Mom are the best to shop with. I think their modo is just buy it and think about it later!! Noah and I are giving the kids Disneyland tickets for Christmas, so I swore I would not get them anything else. I lied!But I didn't go crazy. I wish I would have taken a picture of all the shopping bags in Jeanne's living room! They literally took up half the room. It was great!
Later that day Noah took Brody to the 2008 model car show. Brody totally loves cars just like Noah, and is getting so good at being able to tell what kind of car is which.
Lastly we took the kids to see the Bee movie. We totally loved it! So many people told me it was so boring, but I thought it was so funny. It had so many inside jokes.
Hope you all had a fun weekend of eating and shopping! The countdown to Christmas is ON!! Can't wait!

WE GOT JIPPED!!

Who else was so mad at the Bachelor last night? Are you kidding me, he didn't pick anyone? I was so bugged at him! I really wanted Jenny to win and I was almost in tears for her! Although, I was very excited that he also didn't pick the other girl. (Can't remember her name.....the Vanessa Kottraba look a like)
A few weeks ago, my SIL got a pic with Jenny at the Suns game! (As you can see)
Is she not so cute?!!

The Birthday Boy!!

I can't believe I have a 4 year old!
It really seems like just yesterday we were bringing Brody home from the hospital! From the first night we brought him home until now, he has been the best little boy and we love him so much! Yesterday He had such a fun Birthday! Here is a recap.

Noah started off the day with making pancakes and a special B for the Birthday boy.

After our neighborhood coop Noah surprised Brody with his new bike! He was so excited and totally loved it. He has been practicing on all the neighbors bikes for some time now so he got the hang of pretty quick.
Then it was off to the bowling alley! I was a little nervous having 10 3-5 year olds without their parents but Rick and Jeanne came to the rescue and really helped out! All the kids had so much fun. It was so funny to watch them try and get that ball to actually roll down the whole lane. They started to just kick the ball, but it didn't do much good. Thanks everyone for all the great presents! He loved them all and can't wait to play with them. (I told him he had to wait until after school today to get them all out....he thought that was so mean!)
This is Vinny, Brody's cousin. It was the first of many falls for all the kids!
And of course the pic in front of the famous Birthday cake!

A little late....but still so cute!

I couldn't end Halloween (even though all of my Halloween decor is still up) without posting pics of these cute trick or treaters! The kids had a blast trick or treating around our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is only two streets, so it's perfect for little trick or treaters.Also, Brody started T-ball a few weeks ago. It's so cute to watch him try and figure this whole baseball thing out. Usually the whole team just dog piles to get the ball, but they are improving and learning to only get the ball if it comes to you. Brody is a good hitter, but not too aggressive in the outfield. His favorite part of his games is if Noah is not working and gets to come!!
In other news....we found out we are having a Boy!!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to have a little newborn again to sit and hold! I'm anxious to see how the other two kids react around the new little one. I'm a little nervous that Sadie will think it is her baby and try to put it in her stroller!

Yesterday I spent almost three hours in the doctors office for Brody! He was having a hard time breathing and was wheezing alot, so I took him in and by the time we got there he had gotten way worse! They took his oxygen level and it was way too low, so they had to give him two steroid shots to open up his lungs and then they did three different breathing treatments on him. After they gave him the shots he threw up all over the place because he was screaming so bad and couldn't breath. Poor kid!! He gets like this about every fall or winter. He has bad allergies and his lungs just get really filled up with mucus and crap. I made the mistake of taking Sadie with us, witch was not helpful, but who new it would be three hours long!! He is doing so much better now and we have a shopping list of medicines to take, but he's a trooper!

At the beginning of this year, our ward started this preparedness university. You have to pick five things out of each degree to accomplish that degree. They had tons of classes and talks on how to be prepared and work on your year supply. Then, this Sat. they had a dinner to celebrate the end and give out the awards. I graduated with my Masters!! I was so excited and we had a fun time at the dinner.

Noah is on his way to a business trip to Utah. I didn't know car dealers took business trips?!! I think it's just an excuse to go on a vacation! I guess he is meeting with an investor and talk over some upcoming plans for EZ. Amy if you get bored while our guys our gone, just come on over! I'm sure I'll be up late!

This Friday is the Benefit dinner for our nephew Troy. If you didn't hear about it or forgot and want to go here is the website to check it out. www.wendtfamilybenefit.org
There has been so many fabulous things donated to bid on. It should be a great night!
