Happy 5th Birthday to our Boo!

For Becca's birthday we took her to Logan so she could do what ever she wanted. We gave her a $20 to spend on whatever she wanted and............

this is the end product of the $20. She spent it all on 1 thing, a cinderella carriage and accessories.

She choose to eat at Golden Corral. She never eats enough for what you pay for a Buffett, but oh well it was her birthday. She just likes the dessert bar the best.

The Servers singing Happy Birthday to her. She didnt know what to think.

Becca with her Birthday Dance cake. Our lil dancer, she is always dancing around.

The cake..... I think it turned out fairly good considering this was my first time with fondant. I was informed by Becca that I put that dancers on the wrong cakes. She thought the pink dancer should go on top of the pink cake and that the green dancer should have went on the green cake. Theres always a critic.

The Cream filled Cupcakes........ YUMMY

Presents

The Karaoke player we got for her. Two of her favorite things to do are DANCE and SING all day.
She also got her ears pierced on Saturday but i failed to take my camera in the mall. I was so mad at myself. She didnt pretty good considering.

Cake time

BLOW.......

Our future Rock Star in the making.....

Becca with all her gifts. Thanks everyone.

Loving every minute of it. She couldnt get enough of it. American Idol here we come or maybe just Malad Idol :)

Becca singing her lil heart out. She was eating every moment of it up. Our lil STAR!

Things about Kurt

This was at Christmas time. My dad gave him a BIG popcorn treat thing that he had received but didn't want, as you can see Kurt loved it.

He loves anything farm. He know all the farm animal sounds. He especially loves horses and cows. His next favorite animals are a dog and cat.

Here he is riding is Uncle Trevor. He does the horse sound while riding and the click click sound.

He is getting into everything and onto everything. He climbed on the bench and then onto his highchair, luckily in front of me. He then wanted down and proceeded to put his hands out for help, lil stinker.

He loves to brush his teeth, but doesn't want or like any help from anyone. Sorry bud but mom being a Dental assistant cant help it but has to make sure your cute smile stays cute :)

I cant believe how much my lil man is growing, it is a wee bit sad. He is 20 months old but looks so much older since he is 34 inches tall and weighs 30lbs. He has been such a joyful addition to our family.

Here are some of Kurt's new things/words/and dislikes:

New:

He talks so much and is learning new words everyday. Some are: he has for a long time said mom, dad, hello, hi, bye, juice, uh oh, no, shoe, toes and other words. New ones are: Bella (our dog), Josh (uncle), Brex (cousin), pompa(grandpa), please, thank you, giddy up, eat, down, fall, get out, funny, he can count 1-5. he knows where and can say eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair. He pretty much will learn a new word everyday.

He likes:

his sisters (especially playing with them), he loves his sippy cup always want something to drink, bananas, crackers, chips and dip, ice cream, pop tarts, suckers, pretty much most foods, playing with his farm animals and cars, He loves books, baths, his binky, blankets,being outdoors

He dislikes:

naps sometimes, water in the face (at bath time), being told no, not being able to play outside right now, not getting what he wants, having mom brush his teeth, having his diaper changed, getting dressed or undressed.

Some might think i am going over board with this post but I wanted to journal this while i remember it. Thanks for reading. We love our Kurt.

Can we please go sledding!!

My lil snow baby. Jedd thinks he looks like the kid from the christmas story movie with that hat he is wearing.

Ella loving every minute in the cold.

Kurt preferred riding the 4-wheeler with Dad, not sledding.

Becca holding on for dear life. She isn't much for it, especially when she crashes. She looks scared in the picture.

Ella couldn't get enough. She was mad when we made her leave.

Becca in tears. A yearly tradition when sledding.

Kurt tasting some snow.

My cute lil guy all bundled up.

This is Kurt and Ella about to crash. Kurt wasn't happy when they crashed.

So all Christmas Break Ella kept asking when we were going to take them sledding. We told her when it snowed some more then we would take them. Well it snowed and guess what we did. SLEDDING!!! Ella was excited, Becca was also but hadn't been feeling well so she didn't last long and Kurt didn't like it, especially the snow in the face and when him and Ella wiped out. Kurt did love riding the 4-wheeler though. It was a good first sledding trip but there will be many more I'm sure.

Christmas 2009

Opening presents. They couldnt open them fast enough. They made record time i believe.

Kurt with his horse. He loves farm animals especially horses and cows. Everything Kurt opened had a WOW that cme with it. It was so darn cute.

Christmas Eve the kiddos in there new pj's. Yearly tradition.

Girls decorating the cookies for Santa.

Santa found the Ward household this year inspite of not always being on the NICE list. The kids loved it and were way excited this year. Santa brought Ella a Pet shop house and pet shops, Becca got a polly pocket plane and polly pockets and Kurt got a leap frog chair and a horse. He loved the horse. They also got lots of other presents under the tree from mom and dad and grandparents.

Random Pictures: Top Kurt crawled on the black bench and then onto is high chair and then wanted me to get him down. Crazy kid. Middle Kurt loves to brush his teeth, but only by himself.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Pumpkin Walk, Halloween Costume, and Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkins left to right. Kurts, Jedds, Beccas, Ellas and Mine.

This weekend was a busy one filled with Fall/Halloween festivites. We took the kiddos the the pumpkin walk, which Kurt slept through the whole thing until the very end. Then we got a picture of him sticking his head through one of those characters. We got home later that night and Jedd and I headed to a Halloween Party dressed as Vampires. Haven't dressed up since my senior year of highschool. And today we carved pumpkins with the kids. That has been our eventfull weekend.
