Snow!

2009-02-15T15:14:00.000-08:00

This week we recieved alot of snow. Korty gets so excited when it snows because he get to help shovel the sidewalks with the snow shovel Santa brought. So friday when Brad got home from the farm, the boys went out and shoveled the snow. When they were done Brad came in and left Korty outside to play. After a while Brad went out to check on him and he found all the snow back on the side walks. This made him mad,he knew who did it so he hollered at Korty and asked what happened? Korty just looked up at him and as confident as can be he said, "Dad, I just wanted to tease you that it snowed again." Needless to say Brad couldn't stay mad, instead they shoveled it off again!!

Discovery Gateway

We LOVE Discovery Gateway- We can go there and spend hours, Usually we run out of time long before we get bored.

Last week we decided to try and go to the hand on class they offer there. We lucked out not only did we get the class but they were making ICE CREAM. Korty and Sadie were SO excited. It was really fun and at the end everyone got to sample the ice cream. I think you can see by their smiles, they had a fun day!!

FOR ALL ETERNITY!!

January 17th 2008

This was a day I will never forget! Grandma Jo finally picked a day for us to go and get grandpa's work done. Grandpa was sealed to grandma, and 3 of their children. Grandpa was also sealed to his parents. I loved it!

I cannot express how amazing it was. I am very greatful that I was able to be part of it. Grandma Jo now has her Fairy Tale ending -----TIME and ALL ETERNITY!!

HOLD ON !!!!

I'm sure everyone has taken there kids to the mall and let them ride on these over priced rides. This last week Brad and I went on a BIG vacation to Provo. We went and ate at the mall and of course this is where we ended up. Long story short, Jacob LOVED it!!!

The Way Korty Thinks!!

2008-12-21T18:28:00.000-08:00

We use a lot of electric fence with our cows at the farm. Most of the time we have just one wire attached to blue plastic posts every so often to keep the cows where we want them. This fall we used this electric fence to separate our cows from their calves and wean them. Korty has been pretty involved with the cows and he helped wean the calves this fall.... Now for the story...

This is kinda funny. Last week I took Jacob to Dr. Nate my kids dentist. After a check up we found that he had cavities from me still nursing. So that night we were all in the living room and Brad and I were talking about weaning him and how to do it. Then Korty looked around the room and said,"Dad there is enough room in here, I just don't know how to poke the Blue Posts down into the carpet." The mind of our farming son- thanks for the laugh Korty.

Merry Christmas!!

The Bundersons 2008

BRAD has been really busy this year irrigating, making hay, chasing cows and working for Harward Irrigation. As you might guess, he doesn't get home 'til late but we are always happy to see him, even if he is covered in hay or even worse - cow poop.

KORI is always running somewhere. She's either taking kids to pre-school, t-ball games, gymnastics or driving back and forth to the farm. She always seems to find time for the occasional trip to SLC to do a little shopping. No matter where she goes though, she always likes having her kids with her.

KORTY just turned five. He loves herding cows, riding his 4-wheeler, herding cows on his 4-wheeler, and talking about herding cows on his 4-wheeler. He has also learned that he does not like building fence or baling hay (in his words BOARING!) He loves teasing his sister and helping his little brother.

SADIE is now 3 years old. She loves playing house, dressing-up like a princess, playing kitchen, shopping with mom and watching her favorite movie Old Yeller. We also learned that she loves cutting with scissors. She loves to cut everything - paper, strings, socks, heck she even cut her hair!!

JACOB is 15 months old. He just recently had surgery to get ear tubes and to have a Dermoid Cyst removed from above his left eye. It hasn't slowed him down though. He loves going to the farm, mainly to see the cows (of course). This little boy could also play with a ball all day long! He loves giving Sadie hugs and kisses, and tries to keep up with Korty.

This year we have been very blessed, and we hope you have been also!
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes

Love,
The Bundersons,
Brad, Kori, Korty, Sadie and Jacob

Korty Brad: Age 4, Loves helping dad and T-Ball
Sadie Ann: Age 2, Loves helping mom and ruling the house

Moms are never in the pictures. Why can't dads think to take the pictures.

More to come.

Summer is here

2008-05-22T09:17:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was Korty's last day of pre-school,this year. I think I am more excited than he is. I had Korty take flowers to his teachers and her helpers. He looked so big going up and giving them each a rose. Now that school is out I get to start focusing on t-ball, swimming lessons, camping, my garden, dance class for Sadie and of course spending Alot of time At the farm. Danyale and I has purchased a Hogle Zoo pass so we will be spending alot of time there too. On your mark get set go....

Doesn't he just make you want to giggle?

Donny the calf

2008-06-03T12:04:00.000-07:00

The last momma to calf this year ended up having twins. We were all excited, but mainly Brad. See him and his dad had been guessing she was having twins for a while so when she did he was all excited they were right. But on the other hand they didn't know how the mom was going to react. I named the calves " Donnie and Marie". The mom rejected Donnie, so Aunt Breanna took him home and tried to bottle feed him. No luck, Donnie died. With out its mommas colostrum he didn't have a chance. The good thing is the calf let the kids pet and play with him. It has helped the kids not be so afraid of the cows!

JACOB ON THE MOVE

2008-06-03T12:42:00.000-07:00

This is crazy Jacob is not holding still. He is only 9months old and is walking behind he walker pushing the laundry basketevery where. I thank Grandpa Brent for this. He started it all the first of May, letting him hold onto his fingers and going every where and any where he wanted to now this is ALL he wants to do

Our New Toy Box!!

2008-06-03T12:54:00.000-07:00

Build a Bear

2008-11-26T18:03:00.000-08:00

For Korty's Birthday Grandma B took him to Build a Bear Work Shop. This is where grandma took the kids the day of Jacobs Surgery. Korty and Grandma have been planning this date for about 2 months now. I guess when they got there it didn't take Korty very long to decide what he wanted. And it didn't take Sadie very long to convience Grandma that she didn't get anything for her birthday! Needless to say both of my kids walked out of there with an awesome new friend. Korty has a cheeta nemed JAG. Sadie had a Black Lab named Rissa.

Jacob's Surgery

2008-11-26T17:43:00.000-08:00

On November 17th Jacob went into surgery. YEA!! What I great day!! I hope this will help his dispostion ;) My baby boy now has ear tubes and no more lump. I am so greatful for Dr. Holmes for trying something new and doing both surgeries at the same time. Love You Doc

Well it's been a couple of days since the hair incident. NO, I did not take her to a barber, although I wanted to. I trimmed it up myself (heck, I couldn't hurt it!) Then I had to go and buy ALOT of clips. So this is Sadie clipping back all of the little pieces. It is not funny! I really think we have both learned alot from this. 1. Don't leave scissors in drawers that your 3 year old can reach. 2. There is NO such thing as a Hair Fairy!! And 3. It is just hair, it will grow back and she is still the prettiest little thing I have ever seen!!

SADIE'S HAIRCUT!!

2008-11-11T18:11:00.001-08:00

Well this is what happened. Korty was in time out because he would rather sit in time out than help pick up. Sadie and Jacob just had a bath and I was trying to figure out the computer. When Sadie walked into the room and smiled a her "I should be in trouble smile". I didn't think to much about it. I kept working on the computer, when Korty came running in saying Sadie cut off her hair. He was carring a lock of Sadie's hair about 3 inches long. I got sick. I know it is only hair and I'm sure most little girls have done this but I was physically ill. I hollared her name and she came just like nothing had happened. Her hair was still pretty wet so I couldn't really see much damage. It was only until I saw the garbage can full, and combed through her hair that I realized she had done a pretty great job! Well, I grabbed her and spanked her butt and I told her I was taking her to the barber, Paul, to have him shave off her hair. And about then I started crying! So she started crying. Then we sat there and cried together hugging. It was a mess. Pretty soon we both stopped and we talked about hair will grow back - I just hope It won't take very long:)

Well it is 7:34pm and Sadie is already asleep about 2 hours earlier than norm.
~I bet she wishing there was such thing as a HAIR FAIRY,
She would be raking it in!

Halloween was fun! Brad was late coming home form work (of course). So I took the kids to the Trunk or Treat by myself. This is the way to do it, we got there and 45 min. later the bags were full and the kids were happy.

Then we went to Bethany's house for pictures. Grandma went to Provo to watch Breanna play Volley Ball, so we needed to send here pictures. By then Brad was in town so we went to a few more places - including the town Barber shop to visit Paul who was still cutting hair. When we were leaving to go home "Crampa" called and told us that Brooke and Nate had suprised him and they wanted to see the kids in there costumes. So went detored. The kids were SO excited to see Aunt Booke they climed all over her -- I'm sure all the sugar had something to do with it.

All in all this was a pretty fun night. Korty Carved his pumpkin like a scarey, mean, monster and Sadie didn't want to she said it was "EEUUW", so she just took a magic marker to it. Jacob's was just the plastic Mr. Potato head eyes, nose and mouth that Sadie and Korty stuck on.

Brother and Sister

Well here are the kids at the farm again. We were all out branding "Cranpa's" new heffers. The kids had been playing over on these steps. It was making me nervous- but I just let them go. I had to go to the van to change Jacobs diaper so I told them to sit down until I got back... Well this is what they were doing when I came back. Korty was holding Sadie hand and explaining to her what Dad and Cranpa were doing. Sadie just sat there listening to every word. I waited inpatiently until he was done and then I took the picture. At times like this I wish I had a big brother. I hope he will always take care of her!! :)

Super Saturday

2008-10-11T20:22:00.000-07:00

Today was a fun day. Brad got rained out so I talked him into going to SLC with me and the kids. I wanted to take the kids to the Myan and maybe to a movie. Brad changed the plan-- He wanted to go to RUBY TUESDAY (since they have better food). The kids loved it. Sadie is a little girl after her daddies heart. She ate more steak than I did. Korty was just happy to try a little of everything.

Then we took the kids over to the Myan to eat dessert and watch the divers- but NO ONE could eat another bite. So we just watched the divers. It was allot of fun see the kids so amazed. Jacob got really into it, he kept clapping and hollering.

After we left next we stopped at a PUMPKIN PATCH- Korty, Sadie and I went hunting. It was cold so Brad stayed in the van with Jake. The kids loved it. Korty and Sadie both picked out white pumpkins and I got Jacob a plain orange one- I liked the traditional color. Any way after that we ended our trip at Sports Man Ware House, how can we go wrong there? The day was a success for everyone!

Halloween Pictures

2008-10-09T22:07:00.000-07:00

Everyone go right now to the Kiddie Kandids website http://www.kiddiekandids.com/freeoffer. They have a coupon for a free 8x10 photo. I am a sucker for anything free so Danyale and I took the kids to get their pictures taken in their Halloween costumes. Did we just do this and are we insane? Yes, thanks for asking. They turned out so cute. I always do Halloween pictures and have one of Korty in the pumpkin outfit similar to the new one of Jacob. Also I have to tell you, All the kids were done except Logan and we were having a hard time getting a good photo of him. The photographer lady had to step away for a min. to help another customer, so being the rebel that Danyale is, started taking photos of Logan herself. And I have to say she did a pretty good job. I don't think the lady was very happy with her though. So here are the Bunderson's and Christensen's again.

Korty - Pirate

Sadie - Snow White

Jacob - Pumpkin

Logan - Luke Skywalker

Aubrey - Butterfly
