The family at Jumping Jacks

Todds sister Ash came to visit for a week and it was so fun to spend time with her and her kids. Chandler had a blast riding four-wheelers, going to the park and having sleepovers with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kate.

The Polar Express
On Thanksgiving Weekend we went up to the Heber Creeper and rode the "Polar Express." Chandler has watched that movie at least 3 times a week since last Christmas and loves anything to do with the Polar Ex. It was fun to make his little dreams come true and take him on the train. I would pay any amount to see the pure joy in his eyes and the way he lit up when he got to climb aboard. Our whole drive up there he was singing the "Hot Chocolate" song and he couldn't quit talking about how excited he was. I got him some slippers and he would leave them by his bed every night just in case the Polar Express came to pick him up! I also had him a robe made with his own name on it. He thought it was awesome and it was fun that they were able to wear their pajamas on the train ride. He was so happy that he got his own ticket and his very own bell from Santas sleigh!!

Chandler was so EXCITED when Santa Clause came on the train

It was fun to share the experience with Grandma Kate

I think he was in shock that this experience was ACTUALLY happening

...All Aboard...

Brody was pooped but he didn't want to give up his Hot Chocolate mug

Brody was crying the other day and I heard Chandler in the kitchen saying, "its ok Brody, I am coming. Its ok Brody." He ran from the kitchen to Brodys chair and said, " Its ok I'm here, I am right here brody." Yes, Brody quit crying!

I was having a rough day and was crying, as mothers are allowed to do sometimes! Chandler came over and said, "Its okay mom. Whats wrong? Do you need a bandaid?"

Chandler has been spitting a lot lately and he gets his mouth flicked when he spits. Brody was drooling the other day and Chandler says, " Mom, Brody spit, he needs a flick."

When I've had more than I can handle I will say Im just sick of this. Yesterday I must have been nagging Chandler a bit to much because when I asked him to go get his pajamas for the millionth time he said, "I am just sick of you mom." Better watch what I say.

Chandler found some Sprees candy in my purse, no surprise there is ALWAYS candy in my purse! He says, "Do you want one mom? If you go pee you get one, if you go stincky you can have two!" I guess bribary goes both ways.

We were having dinner and I asked Chandler to say the prayer, he said No. I told him that we need to pray to make Jesus happy. He went and got Jesus from the nativity and set him in the middle of the table! Then he said his prayer!

At Thanksgiving everyone went around the table and said what they were thankful for. When it came to Chandler he said he was thankful for his cousins!! He is lucky to have so many cousins so close in age!

Chandlers cousin Lexi went to church with us today. When they went to nursery the leaders asked Chandler if she was his cousin. He said "Yes." Then they asked him where she was from and he said " Shes from the condo." (They have been staying at a timeshare condo!)

Chandler was four wheeling on the river with his grandpa Smith. The river got to deep and the four wheeler died. They were floating down the river and as the river started to rise Chandler panicked and said " WERE GOING TO DIE."

I worked today so I obviously didn't cook dinner but I made Chandler some Raman Noodles. He looked at me and said, " Whats for dinner?" I told him we were having soup and he replied, " No, whats for real dinner." I said whats a real dinner and he said " The kind when you make it."

I was telling Chandler a Knock Knock joke..I said Knock Knock and he said, "Can you play?"

I was at the doctor and Chandler climbed up on the table next to me and said, " I am here to take care of you mom and make sure you feel better."

We were at Kohls and Chandler kept climbing out of the stroller. I looked at him and simply said, "Chandler.." he responds by saying, "Its ok I'll flick myself!" I swear he could care less if he gets in trouble, its all a joke to him!

Chandler was watching Dora and I went to turn it off because it was over.. HE says, "No mom. Dora told me to Stay Tuned and keep watching!" OH BOY!

Chan told me today that Archie is so lucky because he got to ride an airplane from Heaven into Aunt Jennys belly!! I guess there is no better explanation?

Lately, because it's getting colder, I have been putting a white long sleeved shirt under Chandler short sleeved shirts. When I put it on today he said, " So these are like my garments?"

Todd was getting mad at Brody cuz he wouldn't go to bed. Chandler tells me, " I need to go get mad at dad. He is making bad choices when he yells at Brody."

I told Chan that if he drinks to much Sprite he will get a big belly like me. He said, " If I drink to much Sprite I will have a baby?"

Chandler stole some candy out of my drawer. I found him in his room and he looked at me and said, " Please, don't tell Santa."

Chandler was on the eliptical machine and Todd asked him what he was doing. He said, " I am just beefing up."
