Santa??



We took the kids to go see "Santa" at Tuachan, but Santa was actually my father-in-law Kevin. We were unsure if Jack would figure it out, but he is a lot smarter than we are. Kate of coarse cried when she saw Santa but Jack went on his lap told him what he wanted and then jumped off and told Landon and I that his grandpa Kevin was dressed up as Santa. We tried to explain that it was really Santa but he would not let it go. That night he told us that he saw grandma Jody whispering in Santa's ear because it was really grandpa Kevin, and he also said that Santa was wearing the same glasses that grandpa Kevin has, and finally that Santa sounded exactly like grandpa Kevin. What do you do............Merry Christmas!

BOOOOOOO!








I LOVE Halloween. On Thursday night, Landon and I went to Thriller and it totally pump me up for Halloween. Jack was a wolverine, Kate was a witch, and I was a 20's gal. Landon was just "Dave" (for all of you Office watchers). The day was full of Jacks preschool party, hall-o-ween at Snow Canyon HS, trunk-or-treat with our ward and my favorite, chill, cornbread, and hot apple cider at Scott and Kami's house. One Saturday we woke up nice and early to go to Jack's second wrestling tournament. He did so good! Last week he took first and Saturday he took second. You would think at his age the boys would just be rolling around, but there is a lot of technique and moves that would blow your mind. I am so proud of Jack, and his dad, well lets just say I have never seen Landon smile as big as when he is watching his son wrestle. Both tournaments I am a wreck, I am so nervous and I look at Jack and he is just having fun. I don't know how Jody has done it with four boys. Good thing I have Kate to mix it all up.

He Got One!





Landon finally got his deer. This past week Landon went hunting with his dad, grandpa, brothers, uncles, and his boy (yes, Jack went). They were gone from last Friday to Wednesday. Jack was so excited about his deer. When I called Jack on Tuesday asking him if I could pick him up (because I missed him so much), he told me that he wanted to stay with the boys and hunt. I guess I should be glad that he likes hunting just as much as his dad. Now it's the bottling of deer meat that I don't like............

Ouch! Boys will be boys


Jack has concurred staples in his head and now he has had his first concussion and he's not even four. Its crazy how it happened. We were coming back from getting the mail and Jack started running to catch up with his dad, but he wasn't the only one running to catch Landon, Yeller our dog, started to run and knock Jack flat on his face. We both heard Jacks' face hit the concrete. We took him inside and Jack started asking me questions like, when are we going to get the mail, why am I crying, and what happened to my head. Right then, I knew he had a concussion. So I took him to the doctor. At first the doctor wanted him to get a cat-scan, but Jack started to progress so, we stayed in the waiting for two hours and the doctor would come out every 1/2 hour to see how he was doing. We were so happy when the doctor said, I think he should be good to go! Wow all the experiences I am experiencing being a mom to a boy!

Cowboy Day and Growing Teeth

Well last Friday Jack had Cowboy day at pre-school and boy was he excited. Mrs. Bowen (his teacher) told them that they could come to school dressed as a cowboy, and if anyone knows Jack he loves to "dress up." I took lots of pictures of him on our walk to school and in each picture, he is saying "I'm a cowboy." I think the funniest part for me was to watch all of the kids coming out of pre-school riding there stick horses and wearing their cowboy hats. It was truly priceless and of course I didn't have my camera handy. Jack was so proud of his horse he made, Mrs. Bowen told me that as it was coloring it he was very determined about having it be brown and telling all of the other kids that horses are not purple, blue, or red.






Kate on the other hand is finally getting her two front bottom teeth, and the last three nights she has been up all night. Poor thing! She has also discovered how to climb up our steep stairs, which scares me because both Landon and Jack have made some crazy falls down them. Just this morning I turned for about 2 seconds and there she was smiling at me between the stair case (up about 4 stairs.) She just wants to grow up way to fast for me.




The last two weekends Landon and I have gone on two long motorcycle rides, once to Mesquite and the other to Leeds to have breakfast. It kind of makes you feel young again to be riding on the back of a motorcycle, (because I am so old). Talking about age....... I am thinking about throwing a 30th birthday party for me. The theme is Casio.... and we would play BINGO. I don't know, what do you think????

My first post!







My name is Cinthia Lounsbury and this is my first blog. If you are reading this, then hallelujah! because it has taken me forever to get this blog started so...... hopefully this will not be my first and last blog. This summer has been HOT and a lot of fun. We spend lots of days at our pool in our complex. Jack is 3 1/2 years old and is finally jumping into the water (with a life jacket) and wants to go swimming everyday. He is at an age where he says the most funniest things. For example, he just started pre-school last week and on his first day of school, I was getting ready to take him, and he stopped me in front of the door and was so kind to tell me that I could not take him to school with my hair looking like that, he said is was messy and lazy and Mrs. Bowen (his teacher) would not think that my hair looked pretty. I could not stop laughing, it was definitely a Landon moment. My daughter Kate is 7 1/2 months and is sooo cute. She loves to clap her hands, and say mama all the time. She is also starting to crawl and pull herself up and walk. For some reason my little baby is growing up way to fast. She is so cute when she crawls, I call it the gimp crawl because she crawls on her left knee and tries to walk with her right foot, its amazing how quick she is starting to get around. My husband Landon graduated this summer from Dixie State College and I was so excited to get my husband back. As for me, I still work at Dr. Andruss's office two nights a week (8-10 hours total) and I teach four cycling classes at the gym. But my joy comes from being a mom to the two most cutest kids. (okay I know that that was the cheesiest thing that a mother could say, but it is so true.) Here are some fun pictures from the last month or so of the Lounsburys. Hopefully I keep this blogging thing going, we will see......
