Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the prettiest Princess of them all

I would have to say these two cute blondie's!!!

Every time we do our weekly trip to Costco Sadie would always point to Kowabunga water park (spelling ?) and say that she wanted to go there. It was probably back in June when I told her that once she was potty trained we would go there to celebrate. Well I am all about following through on what you tell your kids but after talking to a few people about the water park, it sounded like she might be a little bit too young for that water park since it sounds like there is constantly water dumping over your head so here me being a horrible mother, now just tell her whenever she asks that it is just too cold to go there in hopes that she forgets that she actually really did already earn to go there over THREE MONTHS AGO when the weather was great. So Travis and I have been talking for the last couple of months about taking her to Disney Princess on Ice instead for her reward. So when my girlfriend Kristi a few weeks ago said she could get some discounted tickets, without hesitation I told her YES and man am I glad we did. A few days before we took Sadie I had her watch this little clip of it online and she would watch it OVER AN OVER and was getting so excited. She wanted to tell everyone about her being able to go there. Have I ever said how fun it is to watch your kid grow up and see things that excite them and watch how they react with situations. Anyway we decided we would make a night out of it and took the girls out to dinner to the Olive Garden, and then went on the "cho cho train" to go to Princess on Ice. ,
Yum yum so delicious!
Taking the train to the show.

The Allens. Kristi, Marina and BrandenSadie and I have been working on "goals" for her in which she earns Princess Dollars for accomplishing goals and sticker charts, I have to admit I have kind of slacked a little bit this last month on helping her earn princess dollars, but she saves up her money to buy special things. We were thinking we might go to Disneyland in Dec so she was saving up money to buy a special toy then, but now that we probably are not going anymore she used some of her money this night. Her holding all of her "monies" or "cash money"

This was Sadie and Marina walking in the arena, they look so measmurized.Right before the show started. Sadie didn't want to look at the camera of course, but this time is for good reason, she didn't want to take her eyes off the ice.
During intermission we went to go find Sadie her special thing to buy with her money. I have to admit, I was really disappointed by the things they were selling, I didn't feel like they had a very good variety and I was expecting for things to be over priced, but I was shocked by how really overpriced everything was. Sadie decided that she wanted to buy a snow cone in this special Cinderella cup. Are we shocked by what color she wanted to snow cone to be :) Side note: she actually has moments that she doesn't love the color yellow SHOCKING I know! :)
We saw this cute little Gus Gus stuffed animal (back left) and it made us think about our Jaden that we left at Grandma Babcock's house (thanks again for watching him)
And of course i had to take a picture of Gus Gus dancing thinking about my little Man back at home.

All in all it was a great night, Sadie at the very end though while we were leaving decided to have a "moment". I wasn't sure if I brought home the right kid because she was being a twerp on the train not wanting Travis to put his hand by her chair and was beyond reasoning with. A little girl her age that was sitting right across from us started throwing up EVERYWHERE! I helped the mom clean her and her kid up and that seemed to do the trick because then Sadie went back to her caring self again (for the most part). Another side note on WHY I LOVE THIS KID SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO READ THIS...... So Sadie loves saying breakfast prayers and her own night prayers, so the next morning I asked her to bless the food and during her prayer she said "thank you for letting us go to Princess on Ice, bless the girl on the cho cho train who was throwing up" I was a proud momma because I hadn't even reminded her of that, and it has almost been a week and she is still blessing that girl every night when she says her prayers without me even having to remind her LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!!!!!!!! What a fun night!

Let's have a party!

Yep that's right folks, come on over to my house for a fun evening of good smells. I am having a SCETSY PARTY this Wed from 6 til 8 pm at my house. They are GREAT for Christmas presents so come on over if you are interested. If you need my address then just let me know. If you aren't able to make it and want to order something then just let me know and I can get your an order form.

Fall Family Pictures

I think I probably sound like a broken RECORD but just in case you guys have forgot I LOVE MY PHOTOGRAPHER ABBEY click here for her site !!!!!!!!!! We did family pictures last month yet again :) and my oh my do I LOVE THEM! Sadie the WHOLE TIME would frown on purpose when Abbey would try and take her picture (AHHH!) but I still LOVE how they turned out for her. Jaden, well boy howdy he just LOVES the camera. Thanks Abbey so much for being so GREAT at what you do!

Halloween 2009 All Events in 1 post =LOTS OF PICTURES BEWARE!!!!!

Holy blog slacker RIGHT HERE!!!! Next week I will totally be back in the swing of things with blogging once I get done with this project that is taking every spare second of my time.

So Halloween, I realized I am a HORRIBLE mother! Last year we did so many fun Halloween activities, this year... well we sure did some fun things but I sure wish we would have done more things. There are a ton of pictures that will probably all look the same because they are all with the munchkins dressed up in the their costumes but OH WELL!

A couple weeks before Halloween Travis's Uncle had a Halloween Party at their house out in Brigham City. They had lots of fun little things for the kids to do. Sadie of course LOVED painting her pumpkin which probably kept her busy for a good 20 to 30 minutes. If you know me you can imagine how nervous I was for her painting without a craft bib but she was so careful thank goodness.
Aunt Heidi and Gus Gus THE MOUSE FROM CINDERELLA FOLKS!!!!!!!! I was SO EXCITED for Jaden to be Sadie's sidekick and for there to be a theme between the two of them but hardly anyone knew who he was. Oh well, Sadie and I was at least excited about the idea.
Later that night we had a pumpkin throwing contest.
While the kids were throwing their pumpkins the pumpkin decorating judges were in the house judging all the painted pumpkins.
A few days later Sadie's buddy Ryan turned 2 and had a Halloween birthday party. Sadie LOVED playing at their house with all their fun toys that put ours to shame ;)
Of course the traditional birthday group picture with kids trying to squirm off everywhere.
We also did the traditional going to the pumpkin patch with Grandpa Babcock and Grandma Charlene. Sadie loved the idea that she could push her own wheelbarrow.
And Jaden loved being in the wheelbarrow. Seriously I would pay LOTS OF MONEY if I could get Sadie to look and smile at the camera now like I can with Jaden. He is such a poser! You can just call his name and he will look right at the camera and just smile away, knock on wood he decides to always do that and not despise the camera like his sister does now.

We usually take a picture with the group but it started to RAIN so hard and hail like crazy so we have to head out real quick so I was kind of bummed we couldn't do the traditional picture.
For FHE we had a fun carving pumpkins. I love that Sadie isn't afraid to dig in and get her hands dirty.
She decided it was easier just to use her hands instead of the spoon.
We procrastinated a little bit this year so Sadie didn't have a fun character pumpkin, just the old traditional jack-o-lantern face which she LOVED!

Jaden's are kind of hard to read but it says Jaden's 1st Halloween. Some of the letters I cut out WAY to big.

The day before this picture at story time at the Library they told us that we can bring our kids dressed up in their costumes, so I dressed Sadie and Jaden up just to get there and see that they were the only ones dressed up.

Then Sadie got to dress up for dance class which SHE LOVED! They passed out candies to each other and of course I had to do a group picture of all these cute kids.
Marina, Sadie, Ali and Miley. I totally forgot the other two kids names, they are the dance teachers grand kids.
After dance class we went and picked up Boston and took him with us to go visit Grandma Babcock at her work. Landon met us there. It was fun walking around trick or treating to all her co-workers desk.
Every year we go to some of my nieces and nephews Halloween Parade, this year we made it only to Kennedy's. Sadie and Sydney had a fun time playing while waiting for the parade to start.
Oh I love this picture. The boy behind Kennedy (he will remain nameless) is her little crush. I remember being in 4th grade (actually it might have been 5th grade) and my mom took a picture of me marching in my Halloween parade and a picture she took had my "crush" in it and I remember always looking at the picture being so proud that we were walking by each other :) So I had to make sure to take one for Kennedy just in case she wanted a copy.
Jaden and Brayden watching the parade (you would never know by the picture, but Brayden is 7 months older then Jaden)
Jaden was in his costume almost everyday the week leading up to Halloween and he was such a good sport being dragged around everywhere. This day it was SO past his name time and he fell asleep in his car seat and I was afraid of waking him up because he was so tired so I loosened his straps and let him take a well deserved and needed nap.
Sadie too was well past her nap time
Have I ever said how AWESOME Sadie is a decorating cupcakes and cookies. This girl is going to be one good baker.
I would decorate a cupcake and then when I was done with it she would grab what I was using and would do it herself without me even prompting her. Do you want to see the end result......
The ones she did was on the bottom row. I love how she tried to copy them. Kind of embarrassing for me that hers looks almost as good as mine, especially my sad looking pumpkins.
We had our fun Halloween Party. Sadie fished and got some awesome princess playing cards that she LOVES
Jaden is my total water boy! This boy loves drinking water and loves being the one to hold the cup.
Finally Halloween DAY! We had our traditional Saturday pancake day but decided to put some excitement to it. Travis was playing basketball that morning so I was the one who had to make breakfast that day and we had yummy pumpkin pancakes. Sadie loved that idea.
For lunch we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Christiansen's house. Of course Sadie needed to do her trick or treating there.
Dorothy (Avery), Gus Gus (Jaden) and Cinderella (Sadie). While we were there Avery kept going to Sadie saying "Sadie I am Cinderella and you are Avery" Sadie didn't like that idea and they went back and forth saying "NO I am Cinderella".
We then headed over to a Halloween Carnival with my inlaws. They had fun little activities for all the kids to do.
They had a "make a mummy" station where Sadie had fun wrapping me all up in toilet paper.
Sadie and Jaden with G & G Christiansen and Aunt Nicole and Uncle Tyler.We then headed over to Travis's Grandparents where Sadie's second Cousin Laycee was visiting. LOVE her outfit so cute!
This picture makes me laugh. This is me in ACTION! I had the kids sitting infront of Grandma Babcock's front porch and asked Travis to take a picture while I recoreded and he of course trying to be funny decided to take pictures of me recording instead of waiting for Grandma to come to the door. I am getting nervous because Travis is REALLY cursing my camera right now and is starting to get grumpy when I whoop that bad boy out.
Some of my moms grankids from bottom to top Bumble Bee (Grandma's dog Missy) Missy the Dog (Landon, he wanted to dress up as Grandma's dog :)), Dorothy (Sydney), Cinderella (Sadie) Cleopatra (Brienna) Spider witch ( Kennedy) Superman (Rockwell) Giraffe (Dawson) Mario (Kaden), Lion (Brayden), Gus Gus (Jaden), Hot sexy mommma witch (Mom) :)
It was finally time to go trick or treating. We went to a few houses in Grandma's neighborhood with some of Sadie's and Jaden's cousins that were there visiting.
We then headed back to our neighborhood to go trick or treating with some of the neighbor friends.
After a successful night of Trick or Treating Monkey (Marina), Cinderella (Sadie), Thomas the Train (Jackson), Gus Gus (Jaden), Monster (Ayden), Pirate (Boston)
I hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween. We sure had fun. My favorite thing though leading up to it was when people would ask Sadie what she was going to be for Halloween. She would always say with excitment in her eyes and voice "I be Cinderella and Jaden be Gus Gus" LOVE HER!

NO TIME but you gotta keep the tradition. What's new with Sadie

So I have been a MAJOR blog slacker BIG TIME! I have been SO BUSY. I have been wanting to blog but I have a few big projects I am doing that have dead lines so I have put everything aside. My house is TORN APART (more then normal :)) I have had at least a couple batches of unfolded laundry at all times in my laundry room for the last month, and I have been having WAY late nights usually staying up til 2 or 3 am but I decided that I needed to hurry and do Sadie's monthly post because by golly gee this girl has been SO MUCH FUN and has been up to a lot of new things!

Her newest thing which is turning into a horrible habit I am afraid, is her LOVING to listen to books on cd while she goes to bed. We taught her at a very young age to fall asleep on her own but one day I showed her a book we had that had a cd with it and we listened to it while playing in her room, well nap time came around and she asked if she could listen to it and I not thinking to much about it agreed and let her. Well now every time she goes to sleep she will say "turn on my movie" (book on cd) I don't know how she isn't bored with that same old story.

If you have read any past posts you will know that we took a quick trip to visit Travis on a business trip. She has been on planes before, but now she is at the age that she is understanding really what is going on. She had a fun time and was a CHAMP!Sadie is CRAZY when it comes to lotion, sunblock or chap stick. She is OBSESSED!!! She loves any opportunity to put sunscreen on her face and I find her hiding sometimes sneakily putting it on all over her face. It beats the chap stick though because she for some reason LOVES to stick her finger in it and ruins it.
I am amazed daily by how fast Sadie picks up on things. This girl has always been my great little helper (she is becoming more selective the older she gets and is realizing that picking up toys isn't as fun as she use to think it was :) ). We like to bake a lot in this house, and Miss Sadie is always by my side with everything I do in the kitchen. For the last few months she has been my egg girl. She can crack an egg like a pro and only on a couple of occasions has she got the shell in it. I love watching her give the egg a tapity tap and then seeing her so carefully put her little fingers in between the crack to open the shell and dump that bad boy in the bowl.
Boston and Sadie don't play as much as they use to since we don't watch him all the time, but they still are great buddies. We were at my sister Carolyn's house and they discovered that it is SO much more comfortable sitting between the back of the couch and cushions.


She is learning at a very early age that NOTHING can be better then Leatherby's ice cream. Oh yum!
When we went on our quick little trip we brought our portable dvd player on the plane. When we got back home I hadn't put it away yet, and I would find Sadie sneakily hiding in the corner watching her movie. She would call it her computer. I put it away very soon after and she kept asking me if she could watch a movie on her computer.
We had some of my nieces and nephews over one night (post coming one of these days) and we decided to make sugar cookies. I let Sadie and all of them go to town with the dough since I knew it would be just them eating the cookies. She was in heaven.

Sadie wins the award for being such an AWESOME sister. She LOVES Jaden so much and you can tell she is just so happy he is apart of our family. I always catch her holding his hand in the car. SO CUTE!
Sadie and her cousin Avery had fun decorating Travis's cupcakes for his birthday. Avery had more fun eating the frosting then decorating it (my kind of girl)
You can tell Sadie knows what she is doing. She would put sprinkles over her cupcake and then take the cupcake off the plate and then dump the sprinkles that fell onto the plate back into the bowl of sprinkles.
Sadie trys to be a little mommy. I LOVE playing with my kids on the floor so occasionally out of the blue Sadie will ask me to lay Jaden on her tummy so she can try to play with him.
GROUPIES! These two are such good buddies. Sadie and Travis love playing and teasing each other. I love that I married a guy that is such a great dad.
Sadie learned how to spell her name about 5 months ago with a fun little song that I made up to help her, but a couple months ago she decided that she wanted to spell it S-A-I-D, so everyone please meet Said. Each time I would ask her how to spell it she would say s-a-i-d and I would remind her how it was really spell and she kept saying "NO Mom it's S-A-I-D" little twit. Well one day randomly she went to me randomly and S-A-D-I-E, I am glad to know that my Sadie is back. Every time you now ask her how to spell her name she will go s-a-D-i-e and always emphasis the D. LOVE HER!
I know I have said this a lot in this post but Sadie is such an AWESOME sister and I hope she stays that way. Sadie can totally tune my voice out with no difficulty at all, but ANY time she hears Jaden cry she will immediately stop what she is doing and grab a toy for him and say "hey Jaden look, Jaden look, do you want this toy, here take it'. And of course he usually will calm down after that. Also if I put him down for a nap and he starts to fuss Sadie will RUN into his room while saying "hey Mom, Jaden is crying" as she goes in there to comfort him. I have to remind her that he sometimes just fusses for a second before falling asleep but she still can't help going into his room.
As great of a sister she is, she likes to take advantage of Jaden's lack of defense for himself. Her new thing for some reason is she always thinks something is in his ear and has to stick her finger in it. I keep telling her to take that her finger out of his ear but she always tells me there is something in there. I don't think she realizes that the hole is suppose to be there because I will always look and there is nothing in his ear. Oh well.
As crazy as life can get sometimes with having two young kids, Sadie makes up for it with all she does to help out with Jaden. She LOVES to feed him and does a great job at it. I find myself sometimes just letting her feed him his whole jar of food while I am doing something else in the same room.
The best thing that has happened to Sadie this month was her getting her new tricycle. I will have to do a separate post on this. She LOVES her tricycle and is really getting good at it.
We love this funny girl!

Already half a year!

Who could ever think 6 months could go by SO FAST yet not since it seems like he has always been with us! My 'handsome boy' is growing up on me and is changing so much and learning new things ALL THE TIME! He had his 6 month APPOINTMENT and here is the measurements. To no surprise he is still HIGH on the charts and following his curve. He weighed in at 20 lbs 7 oz (90th percentile) 27.5 inches (90percentile and head 17.8 (90th percentile) which is why I call him my chubbers, I love every last piece of chub on him! Just for a fun comparison he weighs 4 more ounces then Sadie did when she was 18 MONTH OLD! He is .4 inches shorter then what she was when she was 1 year old and his head is .2 inches bigger then when she was 1. I am guessing in the next 6 months he will easily out weigh her considering he is only 4 pounds less then her right now.

So he has had a TON of fun firsts this last month which of course is always exciting for moms, or alt east for me :)

He advanced to his big boy bath chair and LOVES IT. He and Sadie love taking baths together.
He LOVES water (I will talk more about that later) but he will take any opportunity to get his aqua. He actually taught Sadie this yucky habit and now the two of them will suck on their wash clothes during bath time. Nothing like dirty bath water that he probably peed in :)
He got his first toothbrush and he LOVES a good scrub to the gums :)
Sadie being the little mommy that she is of course has to help do the brushin as well.
But it doesn't get better then when he gets to brush them himself once I am done. HE LOVES HIS TOOTHBRUSH. This picture doesn't do justice but once I hand it to him he gets so excited. The first time I think he actually has ever cried when I have taken something from him was his toothbrush.
He LOVES playing with his big boy toys. Whenever he sees the train coming towards him he gets so excited. If it isn't close enough to him he will go on his belly in hopes to get closer to it.
He also still LOVES his musical mirror and even more this day because I tied the balloon that he loved to it.
And again how can you forget his jumper which HE LOVES jumping in. It isn't as exciting to him anymore since he is all about being on the floor where he can move around more, but he still loves jumping in this.
How many times has this little guy gone to the park with this sister!?! Well I am sad to say this was the first time he got to enjoy the swing. HE LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! He was ALL SMILES!
My little buddy!
His first time going on a airplane. Going to go visit Travis in Arizona while being gone for business. He was a champ the whole time!
His first time swimming. The water was a little chilly but he still of course enjoyed it. Have I ever mentioned how easy going this little guy is (for the most part) LOVE HIM!
His first time in a highchair at a restaurant YUCKY YUCKY GERMS!! It was so cute seeing how excited he was to sit at our same level with us.
Like I was saying earlier, this boy LOVES LOVES LOVES WATER! He has now learned how to drink from a straw and I'm tellin ya, if you need to find a way to instantly stop him from crying, give him water. I have to try and limit his water because otherwise he wont nurse, but I am sure if I let him he would drink it ALL DAY LONG!
We had some nephews come over with there tech decks (finger skateboards) and Travis decided to pull his out. Jaden was sure entertained by them.
Jaden and Travis having fun playing blocks.
I don't know who was more excited, Sadie, Jaden or me. Sadie because she LOVED having a little partner by her in the shopping cart, him because he was out of his carseat and had more freedom and me because I think it is SO CUTE having a little baby in the front of your shopping cart, it is one of my favorite things! (not the best picture, but I hurried and snapped it with my phone)
Travis came and took a picture while Jaden and I were having some snuggle time.
I LOVE this picture. WHAT STUDS! It all started with one kids shirt being taken off because he got it dirty while eating and the rest of the shirts were off pretty soon after. I love how Boston looks like he is being inappropriate without a shirt on. SO CUTE! Dawson (1 1/2 years) Brayden (13 months) Jaden (6 months) Boston (2 years) They are all almost exactly 6 months different in age.
Mr. Magoo takes 2 -2 hour naps and then a 30 minute evening nap and is almost clock work with it, but my oh my is bedtime a different story. He is worst then when he was a newborn and will wake up a few times in the middle of the night, now that he is 6 months I know he is not hungry and there wont be as much mercy from me. Hopefully in the next week he will be sleeping ALL night. Cross our fingers :)
This last month or so he has decided that he really likes to have a soft blanket underneath him and up against his chubby cheeks. He is SO GOOD to go down for naps and bedtime, but keeping him asleep the whole night is a different story.
I officially LOVE the cold weather because that means Jaden gets to wear hoodies and jackets and I think he looks SO FLIPPING DARLING in these bad boys! I wish he could wear them all year long!
Can we say HAPPY BOY! He smiles ALL THE TIME and is a tease because he looks like he would be in a FULL BLOWN laugh but he tricks us and really makes us work hard to make him laugh, so he gets tickled a lot because that seems to be the trick.

He has been a pro at sitting for the last 1.5 months, and is now finally rolling from his back to his stomach. He started rolling from his tummy to back at 7 weeks, but has decided that he can get to things a lot easier if he rolls both ways.

He also loves playing with the binki ( I know these are all normal things, but it is still always exciting to see them do all these new things)
Jaden loves playing with me on the floor. I got lucky and had him throw up in my mouth TWICE in less then a week. GAG GAG GAGGY!
We are all so lucky to have this cute little boy a part of our family, I mean seriously how can you not just love him!?! He gets SO EXCITED when he sees Sadie and she too gets SO EXCITED when she sees him. Hopefully it stays that way. We love you Goobers!

The big 27!!!!

It is throwing me off knowing that my husband is 27! That just sounds SO OLD to me. Not that that it is really an old age, but just to think that I married him when he was 21 (almost 22) like man time flies by so flippin fast.

So my friends husband did this on their blog for her birthday, and I thought it might be fun to do for Travis as a fun challenge for me.

SO HERE IS 27 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT TRAVIS!

1. Travis is a HUGE snacker. He eats a small dinner and immediately after putting his plate away he goes straight to the pantry to grab pretzels to snack on.
2.He always keeps the inside of his car SPOTLESS so you can imagine how rattled he gets when he is driving in my overly messy car! I think after 5 years he is realizing that he might as well deal with it because it ain't changing til my kids are old enough to make them my slave child and have them clean it for me WHA HA HAHA :)
3. He might keep the inside of his car clean but is very forgetful about doing the things that really matter with a car like for say changing the oil and rotating the tires :) (buy us the exact car at the same time and lets see who's dirty car drives longer ;) )
4. Even when he would buzz his head (glad those days are over) he would still put hair product in his hair because he loved the smell and I couldn't complain because I loved it too :)
5. He is like a little kid when he makes dinner (can count how many times on less then 1 hand) and is SO PROUD of what he did. He will keep asking over and over "So do you think it is good" "do you like it" "from 1 to 10 what would you rank it as " LOVE IT! It makes me smile and laugh seeing how funny he is about it.
6. He lets me stay in bed a little bit longer on Saturday morning while Sadie, Jaden and him go downstairs to make pancakes for breakfast.
7. He is very laid back and has never been the type of person to say I couldn't do something or buy something. He is a very trustful person and never questions my judgement on anything.
8. He is a really good student and really enjoys school. He is a perfectionist though and will go OVER and OVER a paper SO MANY times to make sure that it is PERFECT!
9. He HATES sleeping under the top sheet and I LOVE sleeping under the sheet so on days that he decides he REALLY loves me ;) he will sleep under it.
10.He has an obsession about vacuuming. A couple posts back I mentioned he vacuumed once a day which he kindly told me that that was a little bit of an exaggeration which he is right, it is probably about 6 times a week because I get mad at him when he does it on Sunday. :)
K so that too was probably a little exaggeration and he honestly only does it probably 3 or 4 times a week but he ALWAYS has the itch to do it at the MOST INCONVENIENT TIME like when kids are taking a nap, or early in the morning when they are still asleep. Oh well, I can't complain because I probably have only vacuumed 15 times since we have lived in this house so ROCK on babe for keeping the carpet clean :)
11. This is becoming less and less the case but he is freaked out by poo or pee. That is right, when we use to own a dog and he would poo on the floor Travis would have to grab like 6 paper towels just to pick up in fear that it would touch his hand. Same with after he goes to the bathroom (ah I am laughing so hard right now, hopefully he doesn't get mad I am saying this) he seriously has to use SO MUCH toilet paper to wipe. Same with changing diapers, he has to use a ton of wipes, you get the picture right :o
12. He LOVES the yucky candy that people would try to sneakily trade with to a younger sibling for a KING size candy bar. Like these weird pink powdery candy and all these other things that just look gross.
13. HE LOVES MILK and it has to be very cold! He is very particular with his milk. He goes through a few glasses during dinner and has to put it back in the fridge between each use to make sure that it stays to its maximum coldness.
14. He use to skateboard in high school all the time and talks about wanting to buy a new board but doesn't want to have the stereotype
15. If he could he would sleep and watch football ALL DAY LONG and be a happy man :)
16. He is an awesome sharer (that makes it sounds like he is a little kid) but he would give anyone anything they wanted if he has the resources to do it. He always has been the type to give me the last bite of anything.
17. He has turned into a snorer and is SUCH deep sleeper. I think he is so oblivious to some of the horribly crazy nights I have had with the kids.
18. Lots of people take him as being a "shy" person but he is not at all. He just likes to sit back and listen and observe, but in other situations he is the jokester smart-alic (spelling ?) kind of a guy. Just depends upon the situation.
19. He lives for basketball night :) He can NEVER be late for it, and starts to panic 10 minutes before it is time to leave if I am not home to watch the kids.
20. He is a very caring person and always has concern for others that are gong through hard times.
21.Travis is AWESOME at washing the dishes after dinner for me but can't organize a dishwasher if his life depended on it (I think he purposely does a bad job so that I will do it :) )
22. Travis has some great moves on Dance Dance Revolution even though we haven't played it for years.
23. He is an awesome dad who without question LOVES his KIDS!
24. After I finish cutting Travis's hair he has to look at it from EVERY ANGLE for at least a minute or so to make sure it is just right. In his defense he has the funky "Christiansen calic" that does some crazy things to the hair.
25. He has all his personal belongings very organized.
26.Travis has the BEST laugh and I am not talking about his courtesy laugh but his full on true serious laugh where his nostrils start to flare. LOVE IT! I wish he did it everyday.
27. He is such a good sport with me by letting me tease and give him crap all the time.

Hope you had a great birthday babe!
