Macanas-Cullimore Wedding in SLC

We had the opportunity to take part in a beautiful wedding this weekend. Our Step Sister, Jessica Macanas Married Tyson Cullimore on Friday, April 23rd. They had the most beautiful wedding at the SLC Temple and the reception was that night at the Joseph Smith Memorial. She is so beautiful, Anamarie thought she was a real princess; I told her she was. The kids looked flawless with their matching wardrobe and perfect hair, but that only lasted for the first 30 minutes. I took as many pictures of them as I possibly could before we had kids crying & screaming at each other.

Dop-Da-Day, Tuesday, Wen, Sunday!!

For those of you who aren't familiar whith this language it simply means "fall on the couch and say this, Dop-Da-Day, Tuesday, Wen, Sunday", Anamarie tells me. She has created a fun little game for her & Brett where she lines up about 4 chairs on the backside of the couch while using the chairs to stand on and simply fall over the couch doing a somersault while repeating the infamous words "dop-da-day, Tuesday, Wen, Sunday!

Anamarie's a Comedian!

Wow! Anamarie was full of funny phrases today. She and her friend Jacob Garces were playing barbies outside on the play set when I brought some lunch to them and said if they ate all their lunch, they would get an ice cream cone. After about 10 minutes Anamarie comes running in the house with half of her untouched sandwich, quickly puts it on the counter and runs in to the bathroom. She closes the bathroom door, but I was in the kitchen so I could hear her when she said "did you hear that", I said "no" she then says "oh that was my stomach because it's starving for ice cream!" She comes up with a new strategy every day to get that ice cream.

Later on this evening, Maddy and I were watching HGTV in my bedroom when Anamarie makes her presents known by saying, "I need a fousand dollars" then goes over to my dresser drawer to my coin stash and grabs a hand full of coins. I then asked her "why do you need a fousand dollars?" She tells me "Oh it's for my piddy bank" I wish I had a piddy bank with a founsand dollars in it. ;)

About 5 minutes later she comes back to my bedroom and I ask her "Anamarie, what have you been doing?" She replies, "I've been farting" I completely lost it. I laughed so hard I thought I would go into labor. The funny part is how serious she is when she makes these statements. Funny Girl! She keeps me laughing all day!

Best Buddies!!

Anamarie typically wakes up later than all of us, so it's a fun morning ritual for Brett and I to wake her up with kisses and back scratches, but Brett just likes to tackle Anamarie until she reluctantly wakes up. However, this morning Brett wanted to get a jump start on things and do it himself. From the office below I heard lots of noises and hysterical laughing from Brett; so I knew something was up. I found them in our bed playing together. They are already best buds!

Basketball Baby!!

Yes, he has a one track mind; even at 15 months old. If it's round; it's a ball! If it's round and orange it's a basketball; as far as Brett is concerned. He is constantly keeping himself entertained as he finds more "basketballs" in our house for him to play with. Luckily, we constantly keep our fruit basket full of oranges, I mean "basketballs" for him to practice his jump shot with.

Gamers!!

Yes, I couldn't believe it either. The two of them snuck up to Taylor's Bedroom to sneak his Easter candy, and found another form of entertainment there; the Xbox 360. Taylor had paused his game, but left the TV on which aroused the curiosity of a 1 and 4 year old. Needless to say, in no time, they found themselves being entertained by this game with the volume on high. The noise was a huge give away and It didn't take me long to find them, and quickly snap a picture. Looks like they know what they are doing; not good!

Who's Cooking in the Kitchen!

Anamarie was so excited when she discovered how to cook. She managed to mix water with every spice and cookie sprinkle that we had in our cupboard. She had a blast making her interesting recipe, and I actually let her do it without hesitation; that usually doesn't happen. I informed her that she couldn't drink it when she was done, so we took a picture for remembrance. As you can see from the pictures, she was very creative with her concoction. When she was finished, she called "ablima yucky drink".

Brett's 1st Haircut!

Tonight we cut Brett's fashionable Mullet. Yes, it was cute, but he was giving us a bad image. Brady is always the designated Barber in our house, because he does an amazing job. Surprisingly, Brett lasted 10 minutes without any problem. He had a glass of water that he was playing in that kept him occupied the entire time, and by the end of his haircut he was drinking "hairy water". We took the before and after picture for remembrance.

How to Train Your Dragon.

Brady and I took all the kids to the Movie; "How to Train your Dragon" in 3D. The kids loved this movie and it had a great moral. Even Brett sat through the entire movie with out getting bored.
