My son Ammon, who will be turning 8 this February, sure asked a lot of questions about Santa this year! It makes me sad to think this is probably the last year Santa will exist in his mind as a real person. I guess we all have to grow up at some time but still I was hoping around the age of 13 or 14 even. But he is too smart for his own good. I can't remember when I figured it all out and or how I felt. I just remember how I felt when I woke up to a lot of presents and didn't care who they came from. Here were some of his questions. "How come we have the same wrapping paper that Santa used last year?" (My bad). We were getting ready for bed and out of the blue he said, "I think Santa is our own parents." Dakota just looked at me and laughed, it does not matter much to Dakota as it does me, he figures he will figure it out sooner then later but still...few more years please! I like hiding and being sneaky with the gifts, trying to find good places to hid them without getting caught. "If we are celebrating Jesus birthday then why does Santa give us gifts?" But the funnest one was when he said, "How does Santa watch us when we are sleeping? Its kind of creepy." So many questions, really funny questions and some I don't really know how to answer the correct way without lying or giving it away. I was not prepared for these questions so early. We will see what happens, maybe I'll get one more year!?!?!

Long Time
For those that care...I am so sorry for not writing in such a long time. I really didn't think it was a big deal until my sister-in-law called and said I can see you still have a cold. Well yes I do, but I have gotten better and then sick again a few times. But a lot has happened in the last few months of not writing so I will sum it up a bit. The latest news BELLA IS ONE! I just can't believe how time fly's so fast! She has taken her first steps and it wont be long until she will be walking. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner and a fun time with Dakota's dad. I love cooking that meal...I know crazy but its a fun challenge. We are all excited for Christmas, and now that Bella knows how to open gifts and realizes there is a toy under all that paper it will be fun this year. Micaiah knows Santa very very well. Every time there is a picture of him he yells SANTA MAMA SANTA! Its so cute. We still have to go visit the man but hopefully this weekend we will get there. It amazes me on how expensive things are. I don't know but when I had only one kid it was so much cheaper and it seems like we got a lot more for the money. Now we have three kids and everyone only gets a gift for the same price. Well it will be fun all in all! I will be out in Utah for Kylie's wedding to take their wedding pictures and I'm so excited for them! I sure miss my friends in Utah. I can't wait to spend some time with everyone. Well i guess that is it for now. I will be better on writing on my blog. I need to make it a priority and then it will happen. Thank you for reading and come back for more!
