Disney on Ice:Toy Story

So the latest toy Luke has been into is Buzz and Woody, he LOVES Toy Story so when I heard Disney on Ice was coming to town and that it was Toy Story I just knew that I have to take him so I made a mommy and Luke date night out of it. I told him about it but I don't think he fully understood until the minute we walked into the ESA and glory all around we where surrounded by Toy Story stuff and Luke was so happy, we got a program and toys and headed to our seats and were pumped that we were on the 7th row front and center and then it started and I was just watching his face and his reaction and he was in heaven :) we had a blast just the two of us and Luke can't stop talking about it. Now that he has seen the show he wants to add to his collection of toys he has...Buzz, Woody, Jesse, Hamm, Slinky, bullseye and now wants Rex and the army guys. I love when Luke likes something because when he does his whole heart is in it, I love this kid.

2012 Pictures

I honestly have the 3 cutest kids in the world :) I'm happy that all of their birthdays are close enough that I can take them at the same time to get pictures done every year. Jordan turned 7 in October and Luke 3 in January and Ryken will be 6 in February. Back in November at the Christmas expo I signed up for a shoot at a place called Camera Shy (http://camerashy.com) in Lehi and it just like Fotofly but I like this place better. Although Luke was a nightmare and cried the entire time and was almost on the verge of rescheduling he decided at the last minute to give a few smiles, all the pictures turned out adorable.

Happy Birthday Luke (1/11/12)

Happy 3rd birthday to our sweet Luke!! time flies when you have a sweet cute funny little boy, I love this little dude so much, he makes our family so happy and always has us laughing. Luke is a very smart boy learning his shapes and colors/counting and recently has found that he LOVES to make puzzles which he is very good at, right of the bat he started making the 48 piece puzzles and hasn't slowed down. At the moment he is way into Buzz and Woody he even wanted to wear his buzz Jammie's at his birthday party :). Luke had a fun toy story family party and got spoiled rotten. We love you Luke Samuel Whitney!!!

Happy New Year!!

Wow! it's almost been a year since I have posted on our blog, just call me a MAJOR slacker :( It's so hard to believe that is 2012! We are very excited to start the new year, we have some changes that we are excited about, Dan will be graduating with is MBA (U OF U) in April and we couldn't be more excited. It's been a long two years but Dan is so amazing and completely dedicated all while working full time and being an amazing husband and dad. Jordan is in first grade and is doing fabulous and is really into football, he also plays on a Jr. Jazz team with Ryken and they both are amazing. Ryken is in kindergarten and is doing really well and loves that he can read, he is the only kindergartner on the team and totally denominates. Our sweet Luke will be 3 in a couple weeks and is the sweetest blond haired blued boy who is full of energy and make us laugh daily. And their is me :) not much is going on with me, still a happy stay home mommy and sometimes still finds time to do some kind of craft. Dan surprised me this Christmas with a trip to Paris!! which has always been a dream of mine, when we were first married in our first apartment I decorated it all in a "Paris/Eiffel tower" theme, I can't even begin to tell you how speechless I was and how excited we are to go.

Also another big event has happened, my sister and nephews that have lived in Georgia for the that 6 1/2 years has finally come back home, we couldn't be more excited and happy to welcome them into our home, we have had the house under construction for the last 3 1/2 weeks to make room for them to be comfortable and we are more then happy with the out come. I happy to say that I finally have my little big sister home(she's older but shorter) I'm so excited that we can hang out and do all kinds of fun stuff together again. I'm happy that our boys can become closer and even happier that my dad has all5 grand boys in one place. Life is GRAND!!

Happy 5th Birthday Ryken(Feb 16th)

Happy Birthday to our wild and crazy Ryken. We decided for his 5th birthday to throw and friends party, Ryken was so excited and he choose Jump N Bounce and we all had a BLAST!! the party was in the "space" room with lots of pizza, pop and cupcakes and unlimited bouncing time. Ryken had fun with all of his friends and family, we are so proud of Ryken and how much he has grown, he is the best brother anyone could ask for and is always looking out for his brothers. Ryken is a very active boy who is always on the go, he is busy with preschool, friends and Karate, its so hard to believe that he's going to kindergarten this fall. We are so happy to have him in our family with him there is never a dull moment. WE LOVE YOU RYKEN DANIEL WHITNEY!!

Ryken Whitney

Ok people right here right now Im calling that Ryken will be a NBA basketball player, this kid LOVES basketball and his very good at it. We have a basketball hoop in our basement and he slam dunks hit all the time, he does spin shoots and even gets in the window ledge and jumps out of it and slam dunks it :) I know that Ryken will be and is good at many other things but when I think of him I think basketball player.

Happy Birthday Luke (Jan 11th)

Our baby is growing up, I can't believe is 2!! where has the time gone? Well we all thought that he would for sure have a Shrek birthday party( LOVED Shrek for longest time) but when I took him to the store he picked out all Mickey mouse stuff so that's what he had and fun Mickey Mouse party with family and friends. So the morning of his birthday I woke him up by singing happy birthday to him and he said NO!! and would just tell me to stop ha ha!! he was like that all day and then a few days later we had his party and I would ask him how old he was and he would just get a grumpy face and pout and walk away, well he kept this up all the way until his party, he sat on the chair with his head down and was really shy, when it was time to blow out the candle we all started to sing he freaked out and dove into big brother Jordan's lap and wouldn't look at anybody. We are do very blessed to have Luke in our family he keeps is on our toes and has us laughing all of the time. WE LOVE YOU LUKE SAMUEL WHITNEY!!
