HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS

Today is Kylie's Birthday! She is TEN!I just thought I would tell you all how awesome Kylie is.

I am so grateful to be able to call Kylie my daughter. She is so much fun and so much help.

She is also so much like Jed, sometimes it is actually scary! Kylie has got one heck of a sense of humor. She thinks just about anything is funny. She will just bust up laughing and I wont have a clue what she is laughing at and sometimes I never find out.

Kylie is an amazing sister! Although she LOVES to torment her brother she takes very good care of him as well. This Christmas she held Steele in her lap and took turns opening presents with him to help him stay focused.

She is turning into a beautiful young woman before our eyes!

This is the desk Jed made her for her birthday this year! He did such a great job! This picture does not do it justice.

We also got her her own computer so she will be able to check her email whenever she wants.

Dad, Steele & I love you!

Such A Crack Up

This is Steele in all his glory!

He LOVES his shoes although he hates to keep them on. He comes to me with them all of the time and wants them on. My mom actually bought him these Converse high tops because he would not keep any other shoes on. He also LOVES my hair elastics! If he sees one he has to have it and it must be on his arm.

Hair Night

Wednesday night Kylie and I made brownies and had a hair night again. (This is alwasy my idea!) Kylie made a star on the top of my head. It was pretty cool then I think she was trying to see how may hair elastics she could put in my hair.

She is quite creative.

Jones Christmas Party

We had a great time at our Jones Christmas party this last Sunday! We played Crazy Bingo and had a good time stealing presents from everyone. We ate great food (of course!) and we sang Kareoke. Steele helped Jed sing.

Heiselt Family Christmas Party

Santa brought Steele this car.

Zoie & Santa - Zoie is SO funny! This year on the deer hunt with her grandma and grandpa she saved all of the deer legs and chased her cusins around scaring them. She wanted to take them home with her and someone even showed her that if you pull the tendons the hoof would move. She also wanted her grandma to make her some pants out of the hide... She acts just like Jake when he was younger. ;-)

Steele didn't want to sit on Santa's lap.

Jed was thowing all of the kids onto the bean bags.

Steele has become VERY CHEESY in front of a camera.

We had a real fun time at our family Christmas party this year. We started renting "The Lodge @ Clemintine" for our family parties. It makes it nice and roomy. There are two large rooms one with two ovens, a kitchen sink, and a fridge with lots of big tables and one with a ton of HUGE bean bags, some rocking horses, and I think there is a video game system but the bean bags are by far the highlight.

Giving Thanks

We spent ThanksGiving with my Dad's family this year. It was great! Jed and I made a lot of food. We always smoke a turkey but this year was the first year we made anything else, which made it a little stressful but a lot of fun. We really enjoy cooking for other people. My dad helping Steele eat his feast. Steele has gotten very independent in the last few weeks especially with eating.

Ha Ha Surprise!!!

Evie, Lenard, & Grandma Heiselt

We were all lucky to have my dad's brother Lenard & his wife Evie in town this year! They always have great stories to share. Plus he looks just like my grandpa that died when I was three months old so it's kinda cool to have him around anyway. ;-)

Steele would not keep his sleeve on. I don't know why.

Steele entertaining on the table.

Sexy Hair

I bug Kylie ALL of the time to play with my hair. I could just sit for hours with someone playing with my hair. So, last weekend I told her she could stay up later if she would do my hair. Of course she took me up on my bribe. Here is the results...

We have a lot of fun making each other look like dorks!

Yum Yum Yum

I left Steele with Jed last weekend for a little bit and when I came back he told me to look at my camera at the pictures he took... This is what I found..

High School Tag

High School Tag!

These are a few Pics of me from High School.

1. Did you marry someone from high school?
No. I married the man that I litterally drempt about since elementary school. In high school I always wondered why all of my dreams were about Jed instead of my boyfriends at the time... Who would have guessed I was going to marry him? SURELY NOT ME!

2. Did you car pool to school?

Let's see... My Sophmore year I rode the bus to school then my boyfriend would give me a ride home. My Junior and Senior year I drove myself alone except I would carpool to my Vet class at UVSC with Jason, Heidi, Amanda, and Kapree.

3. What kind of car did you have?

When I turned sixteen I got my Ford Ranger. I LOVED THAT TRUCK! Then the last part of my Senior year my parents gave me my Power Stroke. (I know I was spoiled but I wasn't spoiled rotten!)

4. What kind of car do you have now?

I have a Mitsibishi Galant

5. It’s Friday night…where are you? (then)

At a Rodeo most of the time or a Football game or driving around trying to find SOMETHING to do... I don't really ever think we found anything to do, but it sure was fun.

6. It’s Friday night…where are you? (now)

At home with people over playing Poker or some kind of game or just falling asleep while watching TV.

7. What do you do now?

I am a Wife, a Mom, and a Secretary... It is great because I can take Steele with me to work and I decide my own hours.

8. Were you a party animal?

I definetly knew how to have fun. I just wish I would have experienced a few more crazy times. I was always too worried I would disapoint my parents.

9. Were you considered a flirt?

I don't think so.

10. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?

Nope, I Rodeoed and I was a big time FFA chick.

11. Did you get suspended/expelled?

HELL NO! Did I metion I was affraid of disapointing my parents? Plus I like High School way too much!

12. Can you sing the fight song?

I could sing most of it if I had music to sing to.

13. Who was/were your favorite teacher(s)?

Hands down Doug Webb. I learned more from him and his classes than I probably learned throughout High School.

14. Where did you sit during lunch?

I never once stayed at the school for lunch I either went to Harts, Windy's, McDonalds, or KFC... (super healthy food!)

15. What was your school’s full name?

Lehi High School

16. What was your school mascot?

Pioneer

17. If you could go back and do it again, would you?

For sure! Like I said I LOVED high school. I think the only thing I would change would be my long relationships that I had. I really wish I would have dated a bunch of different guys instead just a few.

18. What do you remember most about graduation?

I really don't remeber a whole lot it was a bittersweet feeling. I do remeber how awesome I thought it was that Jed made sure he was there. He and my dad were working in Arizona at the time and it was kind of a pain in the butt for them to both be gone from work for the last part of the week.

19. Who did you go to prom with Sr. year?

I didn't go... Jed thought he was a little to old to be going to prom.

21. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with?

Of course I talk to the person I spent Prom night with... Jed.

22. Are you planning on going to your 20 year reunion? Yep!

23. Do you still talk to people from school? Ya, I do talk to a few. I have even become friends with people that I wasn't friends with in school.

This was fun!

Okay... I TAG...

Calie, Shandee, Bonnie, Jamie, & Debbie

More Mess'

For those of you who don't know... Steele goes to work with me to my mom and dad's house everyday. My mom has bought him SO many different toys to try to keep him entertained but they all have failed (she even bought him a Little Tike's slide with a ladder and basketball hoop and balls that sits in her living room). So yesterday she wasn't there and he was wanting to sit in his booster and eat so I took him to the pantry and let him choose what he wanted. He chose a Pudding Snack Pack... so I gave him a spoon took his shirt off and set his booster in the middle of the kitchen floor and let him go to town. Let me just tell you, that pudding was the best entertainment next to Kylie. He sat there and "ate" it for almost an hour!!!

I HATE DOING MY HAIR

Okay... so all of you that know me knows that I really hate doing my hair. I don't know why I hate it so bad but I just don't have any ambition to do it every morning. I get in the shower telling myself that I am going to get out, get dressed, and DO MY HAIR. But when it comes down to it, I just don't. I can find much more productive things to do with my time. So I ask myself... will I ever get the ambition to do my hair and look like a put together nice looking mom and wife, or will I always just not care?

Mischif at Grandma & Grandpa's

Steele and Ryklee had so much fun tonight!I found Steele in Grandma's flour bucket tonight he was awfuly proud of himself.

Ryklee wouldn't let the beeter, spatula, or bowl out of arms reach. Yum Yum brownie batter.
