Christmas in Utah

We got to go to Utah for Christmas this year and spend the holiday with Allison's family.

Eggett Family Tradition: Going out to eat for Breakfast

 Isaac loved riding on this toy semi truck!

 Grandpa's 4-wheeler was a lot of fun!

 It was really cold in Utah, but we played outside anyways!

 Christmas Eve Jammies

 Christmas morning: break from opening presents to eat the oranges from our stockings!

 Conner LOVES playing in the snow!

 Isaac loved pushing around Grandma's decorative sleigh!

 We went to the cabin and had SO MUCH FUN sledding! It's one of Conner's most favorite things to do ever!

 There is an all abilities park that was a lot of fun!

 We went to Temple Square before going to the airport; we're so glad we did. There were so many beautiful nativities and lights.

 When we got home, Santa had left his presents at our house!

December Adventures

December 8, 2016
We had our first blaming it on brother incident! Conner knows not to unroll all the toilet paper, but he's the only child potty trained...when I asked Conner who did this, he said, "Isaac did it." Which is totally believable too. I'm not sure who the culprit is...

We discovered a fun new place to play at. There is a gymnastics gym down the road from us and on Friday mornings they do "open gym time" where you can pay to go and the kids can play on all the gymnastics equipment. There are trampolines and a "ball pit" or sorts, balance beams, a ladder and they set up an obstacle course. They even have push/ride on toys for the littlest of kids! The boys have so much fun!

Ammon was putting the Christmas lights on the house and Conner was convinced he needed to go help. He climbed part way up the ladder before I noticed and I told him he needed to get down. He stopped climbing but we had a comical conversation as he tried to convince me that Daddy needed his help and that he needed to keep climbing (while I was telling him no, he wasn't allowed on the roof)!

We had spaghetti for dinner tonight and Isaac really liked it. I'm always amazed at the places you find food when it's red!

That night we went to our church's Christmas Social. And the boys got to see Santa Claus! They both did really well!

We moved Conner to the top bunk last night. I was a little worried but optimistic! But he did great!

Isaac wanted his picture taken too, but he had a hard time keeping his eyes open because he just woke up, haha!

We have this little kids table in the dinning room for Conner and the kids that Allison watches during the day. Isaac, up until this picture, still sits in the high chair. However, Isaac decided today that he is a big boy and that he doesn't need the high chair anymore. This is good and bad. I love seeing my kids get more independent, but I also LOVE the contained mess when they're in the high chair!

Isaac's Painting

For each of our kids, we have them paint a picture on their first birthday. We were about a month late with Isaac, but better late than never! This is a right of passage, much like a cake smash. They start out timid, and unsure of what to do, but then they figure it out and love it! And it always ends in a big mess!

Family Pictures

We have a couple of really talented photographers in our ward! I always love how our pictures turn out! Here are the family pictures we just got!

November Fun

November 5, 2016
In our house, you can't leave anything foam laying around. Never.

Every time I peek in on Conner in nursery or they bring him to me because he needs to go potty, he almost always has these safety goggles on. He loves them!

November 9, 2016
Today Conner climbed up into Isaac's high chair (I think he used a chair) so that he could get Isaac's puff snacks. What a stinker!

November 10, 2016
Conner told me that the dolly had a stinky diaper, so I watched as he changed dolly's diaper. He actually did a really good job! What a great big brother he is, even if it's just a doll!

Isaac has 2 new skills! Take a look!

This year we drove to Illinois to have Thanksgiving with Ammon's parents. We had a lot of fun while we were there! Here is our most memorable story: Grandma laid down with Conner at nap time and I was laying down in the family room trying to nap. Their house is really long, and I was on one end, Grandma and Conner were in the middle and the door to the back yard is on the opposite end of the house from where I was laying down. A little while after we all laid down, I kept thinking I heard Conner. Finally I got up to go check and sure enough! Conner had waited until Grandma fell asleep and then snuck out. He had put his coat and shoes on and was in the back yard yelling "Daddy!" He knew Grandpa and Daddy were in the pole barn doing boy stuff and that he was missing out on it!

Earlier in November we had gotten together with some friends and made these cute turkey handprint shirts! This is Thanksgiving Day at Grandpa and Grandma's house.

We had a fun time putting the Christmas tree up! It's fun to watch the boys be in awe of it's beauty!
