Christmas morning was by far our best yet!! Of course I was the first one awake. It about killed me not to wake the kids up. I've done that in the past and it's not worth it!! We started with stockings upstairs and then made our way downstairs to see what Santa left. I'm pretty sure everyone was more then pleased with their gifts! I'm sad I didn't get too many photos, but I did get a lot of video. It was so much fun watching all the kids. Jude was totally into it and wanted to open all the gifts. </div>

My dad made his traditional prime rib dinner and it was amazing! I loved everything about this Christmas! I know the kids had a magical day and that's really what it's all about!</div>

We had the Martin Family Christmas party at the Greenberg's house
this year. The kids did the nativity, which is always fun to watch.
Eleanor was the angle and Amelia was kind of the star. By the time her
part came she was checked out so Eleanor took over for her. Jude was a
reindeer/donkey.<br />
<br />
We also played bingo and decorated ginger bread houses. The kids always love getting together with their cousins!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Christmas Eve this year was a lot of fun! We picked up Mimi and Grandpa at the airport early in the morning. We then made a quick stop at Costco to pick up lots of goodies. By the time we got out of the store it was a blizzard! I'd been hoping for a white Christmas, so I was beyond thrilled to see the snow!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Eleanor and Grandpa went on their traditional run to Kolers and even braved the outlets during the storm. Grandpa bought Eleanor a package of perfume and she was beyond thrilled! Those two have quite the little relationship.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
John had to work on Christmas Eve but was home by 3pm. I made so yummy clam chowder and the kids helped me make cookies for Santa. Eleanor thought Santa would like a can of Diet Dew better then milk. Of course Amelia had to steal a few cookies.</div>

The girls finished up some last minute wrapping. I love how excited they were to give their gifts to each other. Amelia picked out a clay set for Eleanor and Eleanor got Amelia a watch. </div>

We had the girls watch a movie in our bed. Just before they fell asleep they heard Santa's sleigh bells ringing outside!! Luckily, they both fell asleep pretty fast and Santa was able to come and leave his gifts!</div>

I love getting photos of my kids sleeping on Christmas Eve. Its such a magical night! Normally, we leave all our wrapping for Christmas Eve, but with John being out of commission this year, I worked on it for a few nights before. I must say, it was kind of nice not having to worry about getting it all done. We were able to watch a movie and enjoy the evening. </div>

<br />Our LIttle Corner of the World IIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17764675777948099096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045378375292798142.post-70893301251171387112013-01-27T22:56:00.000-08:002013-01-27T22:56:05.424-08:00This week was flew by! We spent the first part of the week in Vegas with our friends the Shirley's. (I'll try to catch up on that post later this week). John had Monday and Tuesday off of work and Eleanor only went to school on W,TH&F.<br />
<br />
Eleanor had a class party on Friday and I volunteered to help. Every time I go to her classroom I leave exhausted and extremely grateful for her teacher. That Mrs. Parsons is truly and amazing teacher! She has such patients and is great with all the kids. I love helping out in Eleanor's class and I need to do it more especially while she is still excited to have me in there with her! I know it won't be too long before it's not cool to have your mom there! On Friday night she got to have her first friend spend the night. She and Lilly were beyond excited!! I let them go with me to Maverick to load up on candy and Slurpee's. They also got to rent their own Redbox. The little stinks stayed up past 12. I'm so glad Eleanor has such a good friend just close! They seriously play together every chance they get!!<br />
<br />
Amelia asks everyday if it's dance class. She loves wearing her dance clothes (of course, she loves the ONE dress I can't stand!) and is always wanting to be at dance. She cracks me up!! My new favorite thing about Mia is the way she says sorry to me. She gets a really somber look on her face and lowers her voice while saying, "sorry mom". Its adorable and she knows I can't stay mad at her when she pulls that on me, which is WAY too many times a day!<br />
<br />
Jude. Oh I love this boy! He's quite the little show off and dancer. He likes to dance to any music he hears. His dancing is more like bending up and down and stomping one leg, but it's adorable! He's been a little sick the past few days and I don't like it. The poor kid has the worst gag reflex and throws up all the time!! It's even worse when he has a cold. No exaggeration, he throws up at least 3 times a week. Today it was four times. Makes me so sad for him. <br />
<br />
John is still on his crutches. He went to the doctor this week and he said maybe in a week or two he can drop down to one crutch but really it just depends on how it feels for John. He also said that once he's off crutches he'll be in the boot for another month or so. I feel bad for John. I know it's killing him that our garage is turning into a huge junk pile and that our Christmas lights are still up on the house. I know we will ALL be glad when he can walk again!!<br />
<br />
I started swimming again and I love it! I've been going
with a few friends at 9pm. It works great because the kids are in bed.
My goal is 3 times a week. I've also started back on Julian Michael's 30
Day Shred. Man I love that workout! My entire body is sore the next
day!!<br />
<br />
We had Savannah and Katelyn spend the night on Saturday night. Savannah watched all the kids while John and I went and saw the new James Bond movie. I know going out to the movies isn't much, but I so enjoy getting out with John! It's nice being able to have him all to myself. When we got home John decided he was hungry and the kids didn't want us home yet, so we took Jude and headed over to Johnny Rockets. It's kind of fun having it so close to the house and it's even more fun having a babysitter to do it!<br />
<br />
The Paey's invited us over to dinner tonight. We got in a pretty bad snowstorm on the way over. They even closed down the freeway. We had a really fun night. It's nice when our kids play with the other kids and we get to just hang out. Wish we could get together with more friends more often.<br />

Amelia was in the back seat and started yelling, "rocking hell". Not quite sure where she got that one from!<br />
<br />
Amelia has been really wanting to fly to Neverland. She can't understand why I can't just take her there. I tried to explain we need to have Peter Pan take us there.<br />
<br />
Jude learned a new word: Boo! He loves going up to people and yelling it. It's pretty dang cute.<br />
<br />
He's still climbing on any and everything. Right now he has 5 bruises on his little forehead. He's wild.<br />
<br />
Eleanor and I started reading Harry Potter together at nights. I have never read the books and I'm loving experience it with Eleanor. She is really into and understands a lot more then I expected. I love it when she tells me she can picture how one of the character looks in her head.<br />
<br />
Eleanor still loves her long hot showers in the morning. She's worse then any teenager I know. I think it's kind of funny!<br />
<br />
John has been getting home at decent times each night and we are enjoying it. We all just wish he wasn't on crutches this winter. We have had lots and lots of snow and would love to have him take us sledding. (I keep saying I'm going to take the kids but it's been really cold and I don't know if it's worth all the work).<br />
<br />
I'm just getting back into the swing of normal life. I don't remember ever being this behind on life after the holiday season. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I've been having to everything on my own lately. Having John out of commission has made me realize how much he does help out. The other day all three kids fell asleep in the car and we had a full load from Costco. Let's just say it wasn't fun unloading all of that on my own in 0 degree weather!<br />
<br />
My new years resolutions aren't going as great as I would wish, but I'm not failing 100%. My main goal was to not yell at my kids and try to be a nicer, calmer mom. I can tell my efforts have made a big difference. My kids, especially Amelia, do not respond well to negativity. I find if I praise them more and try to talk nice, they behave much better. I still have a lot of work, but I'm trying.<br />
<br />
I'm not quite on track with my weight loss goal, but I'm trying. It just sucks!! I really want my kids to eat healthy and enjoy it. I just wish eating carrots was as much fun as making and eating valentines cookies!!<br />
<br />
<br />
We set a goal to do FHE each week and we are 3/3. We do it on Sunday nights and the girls really seem to love it. So far our lessons have been on Goals, Safety and Obedience.<br />
<br />
As a family we set a goal to do an act of service each day. The girls are really into it. Amelia has cleaned the toy room 3 times all by herself. Eleanor was nice to a new girl and school and took Lilly some cookies when she was sick. John and I are trying to plan a bigger service project for our family.<br />
<br />
My goal for this week is to get photos off my camera and onto the blog! <br />

I always enjoy pulling out the old blog books I've made or scrolling down to past entries. It's amazing how fast time goes and I don't want to forget this time of our lives. I figure if I shoot to post at least every Sunday that should help me.<br />
<br />
We just changed to 9am church and I am very excited about it! The kids seem to act better at church and then it gives us the rest of the day to enjoy it as a family. Although, today the girls enjoyed it together down in the basement while John and I laid in bed watching Gossip Girl and Jude took a three hour nap!<br />
<br />
Eleanor came up stairs to show us that she lost her 6th tooth. She said she was playing with her headband in her mouth and it accidentally pulled her loose tooth right out. She looks adorable with all her missing teeth. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She's my best little friend!<br />
<br />
Amelia had her first day of primary and she loved it! Last week she informed me she didn't want to go to nursery because all the kids whine too much. I'm pretty sure she's include in that!! When I took her to opening exercises, she was really excited. She loves going to primary with Eleanor and thinks she's really big now. I love her!<br />
<br />
Jude will go to nursery next month and he'll love it. He wanted to go today but I talked him into taking a nap in my lap during Sunday school and RS. He's wild. He is constantly throwing anything within reach and knows how to pester his sisters. He climbs anything and everything. He still has the best smile and gives great hugs and kisses!<br />
<br />
John is going on two months with crutches. I feel bad for him. I often forget he's not functioning 100%. I think he's about ready to go crazy!! He's been working really hard at work and it's paying off. He found out last week that he made VP at Goldman Sachs. I'm so proud of him and very thankful for all his hard work and support for our family. I'm one lucky lady!Our LIttle Corner of the World IIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17764675777948099096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045378375292798142.post-83669840618789216222012-12-02T16:32:00.001-08:002012-12-02T16:32:38.978-08:00Christmas BestToday the activity for our Advent Calendar read: <i>Open and wear new clothes to church.</i> Both Eleanor and Amelia were thrilled with their dresses. Amelia was convinced her dress was made of real gold and Eleanor said her skirt was just enough fancy for her!! I'm sure Jude could care less, but he still looked cute in his little hat and sweater.<br />
<br />
Trying to get a decent photo of these three nuggets is nearly impossible. <br />

Speaking of church, little Jude was a pistol today! Somehow he got the idea to fill his mouth full of milk and then spit it all over Eleanor's face. Of course Eleanor didn't like this idea one bit...but Jude thought it was hilarious and tried for a second round of milk. That little stink!!<br />

I'd never even heard of it until I voiced concern to my doctor about the bruise Jude had for weeks. In case you are wonder what a Mongonlian blue spot is here is a definition and a photo. (Not sure if its "ok" to show baby butt's on blogs, but I figure why not? Look how cute it is!)<br />

A few of our favorite things were:<br />
<br />
Going out for Mexican in Old Town and having the girls serenaded too and getting a Cinderella and Ariel balloon.<br />
Playing on the beach.<br />
Eleanor taking off her skirt and running around the beach in her underoos. <br />
Buying and planting beautiful seashells on the beach and letting the girls find them. <br />
Laughing at John for having a bird poop on his head (last time that happened to him was when we were in Athens, Greece!)<br />
Eating
dinner at Anthony's Fish Grotto. (Poor Amelia had a little accident .
Luckily a nice older lady watched the kids for me while John was getting
our food.)<br />
Multiple trips to McDonald's for ice cream and Reese's McFlurries.<br />

After Disneyland we made our way down to San Diego. We were pretty excited to take the kids to Sea World, especially Eleanor because she loves any and everything to do with the ocean. Well lets just say I'm glad we didn't buy a three day pass!! Is it just me or has Sea World gone down? I felt like we were at a carnival with all the extra game booths and the smoking! Allthough John and I were a little disappointed with Sea World, the kids seemed to really enjoy it. The girls loved petting the starfish and could have stayed there all day. I think next trip to San Diego we'll just hang out at the beach!<br />

John and I were hanging out down in the basement and he asked if I knew where Amelia was. I ran upstairs to check on her and I couldn't find/hear her anywhere. I looked outside thinking she went to play with her cat again but she hadn't. I then checked my bathroom where she loves to play in the sink and get her hair wet. I started getting a little nervous when she wasn't in there. I went to go start looking downstairs when I spotted her dead asleep on the couch. For some reason it always breaks my heart when I find my kids sleeping.

This morning Amelia begged me to let her go out and play with her cat, Tiff. I tried telling her it was pretty cold out but she was determined! The girl loves her cat! When she came in she tried her hardest to convince me that Tiff needed to come and live in her bedroom.

This morning I noticed Eleanor's front tooth was pretty much falling out. I tried talking her into letting me pull it, but she was didn't even want me touching it! When I came home this afternoon she and Lilly were in the kitchen eating apples in hopes of getting her tooth to fall out. After about an entire bag of apple slices the tooth fell out. <br />
<br />
Eleanor is on her way down to Las Vegas with Grandpa & Grandma Martin, Jay & Scott and Lana & John. I made sure to send down a $2 bill with lots of glitter. I also sent down another $2 bill because I have a feeling her other tooth will be out soon!<br />
<br />
It's fun watching how excited Eleanor gets over milestones like this!

This morning I spent a good 30 minutes blowing all the dead leaves off our patio. I do love the winter, but I'm going to miss spending days and evenings out on our patio. That's the beauty of living in Utah, we get to have all four seasons!

The weather has been perfect during Johns last week of vacation and John was just about finished with the house. On Friday night he went out to finish the last strand and while putting up the last light the latter slipped out from under him. The poor guy feel onto the driveway and shattered his heel. I was down in the basement with my friend, Brianne. I heard what I thought was a car alarm but soon realized it was John trying to get me to come out. <br />
<br />
Poor John was in so much pain!! The five doses of morphine he got at the ER didn't help much and they only gave us 20 pills to last until Monday afternoon (good thing my neighbors don't mind sharing drugs).<br />
<br />
We met with the surgeon this week and luckily John doesn't have to have surgery. The heel is shattered but the joint didn't break. I guess the bones will heal themselves. The bad news is he still has to be on crutches for 3 months! I hate that this happened but we are so very lucky it wasn't worse. <br />

Kids can enter a variety a personal piece in either visual arts, photography, dance, literature and a few other cateogries. I was excited when Eleanor brought home the handout for this year's Reflection program. The theme this year was 'The Magic of A Moment". I told Eleanor what the theme was and she came up with the idea to paint a rainbow. She also had to write an artist statement. I don't have that right now, but I want to get it and add it. It was really quite clever what she came up with.<br />
<br />
I gave her some canvas and paint and she went right to work. I love watching Eleanor do any kind of artwork. She does a great job and you can tell she tries her hardest to do her best. She has quite the imagintation and comes up with great pieces.<br />
<br />
Lastnight was the little award ceremony at her school and I figured everyone who entered would at least get a little certificate or something so we all went to support Eleanor. It was fun walking around and looking at all the different pieces and seeing how proud Eleanor was of her painting.<br />
<br />
When it came time for the visual arts awards we were all pretty shocked
when Eleanor got second place. Visual arts had the post entries and her
category was K-3rd. When they called Eleanor's name she literally ran
to the stage. She was so excited to be getting a little medal. We were
all so proud of her and loved seeing her excitement! <br />

find myself saying, "This is my favorite holiday". I've enjoyed every
minute of fall this year and we've been keeping busy doing all things
fall related! <br />

This year we didn't really have a great plan for our costumes.
Eleanor wanted to be a black cat so I thought we could all just be
traditional Halloween icons. John was a white ghost, I was a vampire,
Eleanor the black cat, Amelia a witch (and a princess) and our little
Jude was Frankenstein.<br />

We started the day at Eleanor's
school for the little parade. I think both John and I embarrassed her
because she would not look at us! It was actually pretty dang funny! <br />

The weather was so nice today and John is on his two week vacation so
we started putting up Christmas lights. Amelia and Jude loved being
outside. Jude discovered Amelia's motorcycle and I couldn't get him off it! Amelia couldn't put her "baby" down all day.<br />

Amelia is one stubborn little girl. She refused to wear her witch
costume to the ward halloween party last week and had no plans of
wearing tonight. She threw a huge fit because she only wanted to be a
princess. Finally after a lot of bribes she decided to be a witch.<br />

I wanted Jude to be Frankenstein because he still kind of walks pretty
funny. He was a pretty good sport about his makeup and even wore the
little headband with bolts for a little bit of the night. The kid LOVED
trick-or-treating! He totally knew what was going on. When we passed a
house he would throw a fit and try going back to the house. He waved to
everyone who answered the door and every trick-or-treater we passed.

Eleanor was totally into Halloween this year, and I loved it!! She and
Lilly had the time of their lives running around our neighborhood. After
knocking all the doors in lower part of our neighborhood with the
littles, John took them to the upper part alone. Previous years we have
gotten away with just doing the lower loop but this year she wanted
more! While John took Eleanor and Lilly I stayed behind and passed out candy. I
love dressing up and scarring the kids when I open the door. For some
reason the kids were extra jumpy this year!<br />

continuing this fun tradition.<br />

Last year I took the kids to their dentist the day after
Halloween to sell their candy. The office buys it for $2 a pound and my
kids think this is pretty awesome! So, I've decided to let them eat what
they want on Halloween night and then the next morning I let them pick
out 5 pieces of candy before we sell it. Honestly, I think I really do
this so I'm not the one eating all the candy!<br />
<br />
Little Amelia went a little overboard on eating candy! The girl loves her candy and I just pray she doesn't puke later tonight!<br />
<br />
Overall, it was a very successful Halloween and I guess it's time to start switching into the Holiday mode.

The girls loved it and I loved not having to clean up any mess! We also enjoyed some really cute and yummy smores! I think we are all going to be sad when the Halloween festivities come to an end.<br />

<br />Our LIttle Corner of the World IIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17764675777948099096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045378375292798142.post-31186207131622617112012-10-24T18:12:00.000-07:002012-11-05T18:15:50.023-08:00This Little Stink Is ThreeThis crazy little stink turned three and I only wish the saying "terrible two's" was true. That would mean we would be leaving the "terribles" behind but sadly, we are just entering into the terrible threes! Amelia has always been easy going from day one. For example, at just four and five months old I was able to travel transatlantic without having to stand up ONCE! She has always been super easy, sweet and loving...until recently. She's developed quite a stubborn streak and is constantly pushing every one's buttons! She is still her usual sweet and easy going kid about 50% of time and she switches at the drop of a hat (or a tap from her brother or sister!). I know this is totally normal for three year olds and I need to remember to just enjoy her and not get too frustrated with her! She really is such a fun little girl! She was away for two nights and I missed her like crazy (at the same time I also enjoyed the quiet).<br />
<br />
Some of my favorite things about this three year old:<br />
<br />
* She is really into rings right now. She got 5 little ones the first few hours into our Disneyland trip and she didn't loose one of them during our entire week in CA.<br />
<br />
* She loves her long hair! She just recently started combing or playing with it all the time.When she gets mad at me or Eleanor she is quick to let us know we don't have long hair like her.<br />
<br />
* She loves to go on play dates and spend the night at people's house. She is always asking me to "leave me at ________ house".<br />
<br />
* When ever she is being babysat she'll tell the person she wishes they were her mom/dad. (Yeah, makes me feel real special!)<br />
<br />
* She loves to copy her sister and will do anything she does. Right now she is always asking me how to spell or write certain words.<br />
<br />
* She is LOUD. I don't really <i>love</i> this, but I appreciate it.<br />
<br />
* She has one major sweet tooth and she loves my diet pepsi!<br />
<br />
* She can spend all day outside and does if the weather permits.<br />
<br />
* She plays with her kitten like it's a baby.<br />
<br />
* She is pretty athletic. Loves riding bikes, scooters and jumping on the tramp.<br />
<br />
* She loves Peter Pan and Cinderella<br />
<br />
* She loves baby dolls.<br />
<br />
* She'll stop or do anything if you threaten to call Santa.<br />
<br />
* She does not like to be sung Happy Birthday to.<br />
<br />
* She loves hording things and carrying collections of things in little bags.<br />
<br />
* She's always a mess!<br />
<br />
* She only likes her hair in "piggy tails" not "pony tails"<br />
<br />
* She is quick to give a hug and kiss if she thinks you are crying.<br />
<br />
* She is very good to apologize.<br />
<br />
* She has to BEST smile.<br />
<br />
* If she doesn't like someone she'll say, "they aren't my cousin".<br />
<br />
* She is very loyal to Eleanor and Amelia. <br />
<br />
* She loves Henry and thinks she's his mom.<br />
<br />
* She loves going to dance class and always has to wear a sweater.<br />
<br />
* She says really embarrassing things out in public and remember she's loud.<br />
<br />
* When she likes what I make for dinner she'll say, "this is delicious".<br />
<br />
I'm
sure there's about a million other little things I love about this
girl! She really is such a fun little person to have around and we all
love her to death!!<br />

Our last day in Disneyland was the day before Amelia's birthday but we thought it would be fun to just let her believe it was her actual birthday. We surprised the girls with new dresses and lunch with all the princess at Ariel's Grotto. Amelia was so cute with each princess. Cinderella is her favorite and she couldn't stop hugging and talking to her. I love how much she loved all the princesses. It was so magical for her! It was such a fun birthday lunch!<br />
