Do they look alike?

Lucas always makes fun of me because I always try and figure out who people look like. It's kind of become an obsession of mine. I wanted to share some of my favorites. You let me know what you think...

KYLE KORVER and...


ROLAND STEADHAM (he's the meteorologist on channel 2)



CAILLOU and....
CADEN (he acts just like him too)


RAJON RONDO and...

JOEY (you know you look like him Joey, don't deny it)


CRAIG BOLERJACK and...


TRENT (this is a bad picture of you Trent, but I still see it)

Lucas' Note:

What about Kyle Korver and...

Hilary Swank???

Discipline?

So I have been having some discipline issues with Caden lately. He has been horrible! I have mainly been using time out as a punishment and it doesn't even phase him. Here is a picture of him in time out the other day. He's only there for 2 minutes, but he managed to fall asleep.

Sometimes he even asks me if he can go sit in time out. Obviously he doesn't mind it. Does anyone have any discipline tactics that have worked for them? I need help!

At least he's honest

I took Caden to nursery and this is the conversation that took place...

Teacher:"What are you doing Caden?"

Caden:"I'm just picking my nose."

Teacher:" Well, at least he's honest."

I am so proud!

Christmas 2008

I wanted to write down everything we did for Christmas before I forgot it all. For Christmas Eve we decided to eat breakfast casserole. It's a tradition in Lucas' family, but I knew I wouldn't have time Christmas morning to make it so we had it for dinner. After that we watched Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. Caden watches that all year round so it wasn't anything different for him. Then we had a little Family Home Evening about the Nativity story. I was surprised about how much Caden knew. I guess he listens really well in nursery. After that we went and looked at Christmas lights. We were hoping that the kids would fall asleep in the car, but that didn't happen. Luckily they fell asleep soon after we got home. Caden didn't really want to get out of bed Christmas morning. When he finally realized there were presents in the living room he was very excited. He loved all of his new toys. For breakfast we had monkey bread (my favorite). We got to visit my family and my relatives and Lucas' family all in one day. Since there was a blizzard we decided to stay at my mom's house that night. It was a good thing we got new pajamas and clothes.
Here's some pictures of our fun Christmas...

Caden didn't know what to think of everything



Halle liked the presents too


Grandma and Grandpa Eyre gave Halle a big bike


Caden quickly took control of that present


This is Halle at G and G Hendrickson's

Caden was on Christmas overload at this point

In case you were wondering...

Who Carl Sagers is...Well I guess his name is actually Craig Sager but he is one of the sideline announcers for TNT. He is probably most well known for his hideous outfits. Liz always gets a good kick out of it.

A very busy week!!

Last week was pretty crazy for our family. We had a lot going on, but we lived through it!
On Tuesday Lucas took a test to become a licensed appraiser and he passed! I am very proud of him.
It was my Birthday on Wednesday. The kids and I decided to ride down to Salt Lake with Lucas when he went to work so we didn't have to take two cars. We were stopped at the stop light and my radio stopped working. Lucas decided to turn the car off and turn it back on to see if the radio would come back on. Well he turned the car off and nothing turned back on. My car died! He had to push it over to the gas station. It was 6:45 in the morning so nobody wanted to stop and help us jump it. Finally some kind soul decided to help us. It started so we decided to take it back to our house and take Lucas' car. As we were driving we could tell it was going to die again because every time we slowed down all the light would get dim. We made it into our garage and the car died. It was perfect timing. Lucas went to work and my dad came up and changed the battery. After that my car would only work when it was hooked up to another car. So we decided to change the alternator. Well it still dies so I will keep you posted on if we ever really get it fixed. Later that night Lucas and I went to the Forgotten Carols. Lucas wasn't very excited, but he had to go because it was my Birthday. My family goes almost every year. I've missed it the past couple years so I was very excited to go. Thank you Lucas for going with me!
On Thursday we went to the Jazz game. Lucas inherited the tickets from one of his friends because he couldn't go. They played Portland and it was a very good game. I was very excited because I got to see Pryzbilla and Carl Sagers. It just made my night.
On Friday night we went to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. It was very good, but it was a mess getting down there and trying to park. We ended up parking really far away. It was nice when it got out because we were walking to our car while everyone waited in traffic. We go to our car and drove off! We were very excited that Heidi and Eric were able to go with us.
It was my family Christmas party on Saturday. It was fun to see all my relatives because I don't see them a lot. Caden had a complete melt down when Santa came. He didn't want anything to do with him. Halle liked him when he was far away, but when she sat on his lap she was not very happy.
Well that was our week! Hopefully this week isn't as busy!

Temple Square

Sorry I haven't posted on my blog forever. The holidays and sick children have taken over my life. Before everyone got sick we were able to go to Temple Square and see the lights with Robbie, Melanie, and Mason. It was a lot of fun! It wasn't very cold and the kids didn't have too many melt downs.

Here's our cute family picture:






Here's all of the kids.

Lucas likes this picture because Caden is doing the Tritet sign. Only his clogging friends will know what that means. You can ask him if you really want to know.

I hope everyone is having fun this holiday season. I love this time of year. I love the food, the movies, the parties, and everything else about it!
