~Viva Las Vegas~

In May, I flew down to Vegas over Mother's day weekend and met one of my bff's there. We had such a BLAST!!! That is how every Mother's day should be spent. We did what ever we wanted, when we wanted. We lounged at the pool and soaked up the sun most of the time. We walked the strip, did some shopping, ate great food, made yummy treats to make us fat, watched movies and stayed up and talked and talked. It was a much needed get away. Can't wait for next year to do it again!

Nolan's 9th Birthday

I can't believe Nolan turned 9 this year (I'm going to say that every time my kids have a birthday). Time sure flies when you're raising three lil' wild ones. Well, let's start with the pictures above. These were taken the day of his birthday. He asked for a strawberry rhubarb pie...so that's what I made him. It was soooo yummy. It's his favorite. He didn't ask for anything specific for his birthday so we got him dirt bike riding gear. He LOVED it, if you can't already tell from the expression on his face! Cody and Dylan gave him Dr. Pepper and Oreos. And his friend B-Dog gave him some TechDeck's. He had a great day.

This year was also his friends party. I made him a dirt bike cake the best I could. It was slowly falling backwards but he still liked it. We had his friends bring their bikes and we had some races up in the dirt hills. Then we broke the pinata and then most of the kids went home. Only two stayed for cake and ice cream because it was getting late. Overall, it was a good time. Only nine more years and he'll be an adult.....scary!!!

Easter Break 2010

Let's see in April we were in Garland for Easter and spring break. While were there we went to dinner with friends and family one night. We had an egg hunt in Grandma's back yard on Easter with cousin Maggie. Her and Dylan did an awesome job hunting eggs. And some friends of ours drove up from Lehi to play one day. It was so good to see them.

These pictures were taken at the Children's Treehouse in Ogden. The kids loved it! So much to do...so little time. Not much to say but I thought I'd share the pictures of my wild kiddos.

Wedding Fun in April

So in April we headed to Idaho for Luke and Echo's wedding. It was great fun! We drove to Utah after the wedding for spring break. There was a huge snow storm that night and our luggage was soaked when we got to Garland. Thank goodness for driers. So about this video....I had no idea Nolan would've ever had the guts to do this but he did and I filmed. He waited patiently for all the wedding dances to be done and then he busted out some moves. Holy funny!!! He must get those moves from his father.....he, he!!!  It's a lot of just moving his legs but hey, he had the guts to get up there so...you go buddy!

March 2010

So here is what happened in March. Nathan had a birthday...he is now 33!! So the kids were not going to let him get away without birthday spanks. So here is the nice pic of him getting 33 from each of them. He said his butt hurt when they were done. It was quite comical.

Next, we headed down to Vegas with my dad and brother, Jason. We had a really great time. We did the usual. Walk the strip, play at the pool and relax. It was a little chilly but the hot tub was really nice. The kids had fun and I'm sure we'll be back down again next year.

Mini-Vaca to Lake Tahoe

We stayed up at Tahoe back in February. We love to sit in the hot tubs with the snow falling. It gets pretty hot in there so the boys thought it would be fun to go cool down in the snow.

There is some major steam in there but through it all there are three very handsome boys sitting with me.

Here is Cody being grumpy for some reason.

And obviously Cody was still grumpy and wouldn't get in this picture. We love having Tahoe so close. It is beautiful up there. Maybe one of these times Nate and I could go alone and do some snowboarding this winter. That would be a blast.

Jelly Belly

I'm not sure how many times we've been here but we did go there back in February. It's so close to my parents house we decided to take the kids there again. So here are a few pictures. It was a Sunday and the lines were not running and it was a bit boring. I think Dylan was sleeping so my parents just watched him for us. The best part was the free Jelly Bellies at the end.

Cody Lost His 1st Tooth!

So of course, as always, I post things extremely late. Cody lost his first tooth back in February. It was pretty loose so I mentioned an idea that was done by some close friends of ours, the Broughs.

We tied some thread around his tooth......

Next, we tied it to Nolan's R.C. car.....

And here is the video yanking it out.

And here is one excited boy!! By the way he still hasn't put it under his pillow. I hope he isn't saving his all up like Nolan is. Crazy kids!!

Pinewood Derby

So by now everyone knows how horrible I am at posting. I'm so busy I hardly keep up on my emails. Well let's go back in the past, say 5 months ago. That was Nolan's pinewood derby and I was called to be Cub Scout Committee Chair.....yeah me! Why not, I already have three boys what's 15 more? So here is his car. It was given the name Most Fire Power. It was pretty fast but not fast enough. He took fourth.

I have many videos of his races but I decided to use the first one. Sorry the footage is sideways...I turned my camera and didn't think about the affects of that later. Oh well! Nolan's car is on the right (black). This derby was a lot of fun!!

Happy New Year

Well, for new year's, we were fortunate enough to have some of Nate's family come and stay with us. His mom, Amber, Brooks, and their cute little girl came out on the 30th. We just hung out and played games that day. Poor Maggie Jo wasn't feeling so hot. But the next day she seemed better so we treked into Sparks and played at Scheel's. While we were there, we played on the shooting range, the boys played on the sports simulator, we did Nascar simulator, sampled some fudge, had ice cream, drank the best caramel apple cider and left with a cavity. At the Nascar simulator, Amber and I were doing so great until (I think) Nate spun us out. After that we placed dead last. Each of the 2 older boys got to ride with Nate and Uncle Brooks and they thought that was way cool. We sure had a lot of fun, we hope they did as well. That night we grabbed some chinese and played cards. But after midnight was when the real fun began...he, he, he! Nolan started puking, then Cody, next was Amber and then by morning, Grandma had it. The rest of us three decided we better chew our food good that day because it was bound to hit us. Well, Nate got it that afternoon, but happy to say, Brooks, Dylan and I never got it. Whew!!! It was pure craziness. I felt so bad for the family. Being sick away from there own environment was probably even worse. But even through it all we were very happy that they made the trip out. Come back out again when it's warmer and let's go play on the beach at Tahoe: )

Munns Update

So I swear my blog is jacked up. Some people's blogs show I've updated, others do not. My blog is not even private anymore. So, for any of you that get this, check out my actual site to see all the lastest updates from December. I've posted a few. I hope all is well with each and every one of you!

Who ate the cookies?

Right before bedtime on Christmas Eve my mom found Dylan on top of the table chowing down Santa's cookies. Hey, they were just sitting there, it was a free for all!! The boys cracked up about this one. Here is yet another video of the little thief.

Other random fun!!

Here is a random collage of other things from December. The center picture is their Christmas jammies. The top and bottom center shots are from their Winter Concert at school. The picture on the bottom left corner is from a date night with mom. We ate at In n' Out and then headed over to the theater to see A Christmas Carol (it scared Cody). Afterwards, we walked around the lights in downtown Sparks. Top right corner, is a picture of Nolan with his gingerbread house he made at school. I was lucky enough to find someone to watch my other kids and was able to volunteer to help with this classroom project. Last, the bottom right is a picture of a treat that a neighbor brought over. The body is a cherry, dipped in chocolate, with a hershey kiss head, sitting on top of an opened oreo. It's a little mouse....my boys thought they were so cool.

Makeshift boarding

So this is where my boys would go play any chance they could, behind our house. Nolan took the wheels off of his skateboard so he could use it as a snow board....genius!! They loved it. So here is some video of these two sledding/boarding right before it got dark. Maybe next winter we'll take them up to a resort and teach them how to really snow board.

Let it snow!!

We received so much snow in the middle of December! I guess Fernley hadn't seen this much snow in 30 years. These pictures are from our first storm. I wish I had taken more each time it snowed. We definitely got a foot in all. They canceled school for 2 days!! The boys absolutely loved it. They froze their tails off but played hard all day long. They smashed their feet in to too small of boots and were frozen little icicles by the time they came in. Dylan wasn't too sure of the white bliss. I wasn't a big fan of the city not plowing the streets. UGH!! That drove me crazy, thank goodness for 4 wheel drive. They only plowed high traffic roads.
But all in all, I'll take it....I LOVE the snow.

Dear Santa, I've tried really hard to be good!

The boys were able to tell Santa what they wanted at our ward family home evening. Santa showed up first, next we had a yummy dinner, and finished off with a talent show.
Dylan didn't care if he had to sit on Santa's lap.
All he cared about was getting that sweet candy cane full of M&M's.

Nolan asked for a new bike.
Look how innocent he looks. Who does he think he's fooling?

Cody changed his mind every week on what he wanted. The last thing he asked for was the Hot Wheels that changes the cars a different color. He also tried to pull the innocent card......they must have learned this from their father....ha, ha!!
