Picture Time!

Gingerbread House

(That is the, "I have too much candy in my mouth to smile normal," smile.)

Kids always have so much fun making these, and making a mess doing it! I just wonder how much candy Andrew ate while doing it. Definately MORE than ended up on the house itself!

Hanging out Christmas Eve

We played a lot on Christmas Eve up at Grandma and Grandpa's. The kids had fun reading Christmas books with Grandpa, playing with the decorations....(Ashley was best friends with that fake snowman) and going to see lights! We piled in the car, literally, and drove around to see all the houses with lights on them!

Santa's Cookies

We got these sugar cookies from some neighbors and thought they would be easy and great to use for Santa's cookies. Does anyone else's kids have a hard time making cookies for someone else and want to eat all of them?! Oh, and Santa forgot to eat them when he came, whoops!

Temple Lights with the Young Women!

For a combined activity we went to go see the beautiful lights at Temple Square and do a scavenger hunt at the Church History Museum! It was a lot of fun and reallllly cold!

Cousins Cousins Cousins

These kids are so cute. They love to play together! I watched Amy's kids the other night and we made birthday cards for a neighbor girl, made necklaces, and had a MASSIVE bubble bath!

Thanksgiving Point Holiday Fun!

Have I told you how much we love our Thanksgiving Point membership?? A LOT! This didn't require it, but I just thought I would plug that in!

We went to go see Santa and his reindeer for family home evening. Andrew was THRILLED! And Ashley was NOT! The kids got to sit on Santa's lap and get a candy cane, Andrew's favorite. After some hot cider we went outside to see the reindeer. Andrew was just amazed that they were there and not at the North Pole! It is fun to see Andrew so excited for Christmas and Santa this year!

Girls trip to Logan Part2

I found this post in my drafts. Hopefully you all remember the trip to Logan and how fun it was ladies! Here are some WONDERFUL memories!

Vicki who snarls (she meant snore) in her sleep, that is SO word!

Alex who has the fastest little legs in the west! No way that little boy was going to beat you!

Sarah with her itsy bitsy tiny weeny sleeping pad!

Debbie who almost didn't get her whole wheat pancakes! (Which I have tried and LOVE)

Steph and her 7 piece linen set for her mattress that she didn't even sleep all night on!

Maria and her $24 shirt and luxurious cabin!

Melissa who doesn't eat Fiber One granola bars anymore!

Jennifer with the PERFECT picture taking arms!

Julie who got stuck at way too many red lights following the other van!

Steff who has worked at every business in Logan for at least a day and will host the post run party in her mansion!

When is our post run party by the way??

Dave, this is for you...

I found this in my drafts, I guess I forgot to post it!

We went out to dinner to celebrate some accomplishments at work with a partner and his wife. Let me tell you, Derick about ate his weight in steak! He said it was by FAR the best steak he has ever had! 24 ounces of beef, a bowl of sauteed mushrooms and a bundle of asparagus later, he left ready to not eat for a week! I LOVED my chicken. Dave, someday you should go, but save up because it is all ala carte and EXPENSIVE!

Rocking Out!

Another trip to the Farm Zoo...

On our latest trip to Farm County at Thanksgiving Point, we waited in line FOREVER to ride the horses. Andrew is OBSESSED with horses right now, so there was no way we were getting out of there without riding them! Ashley was so entertained by the horses. It is so cute how interactive with everything around her she is! Andrew loved "squishing" the cow too!

Rock Band at Thanksgiving!!

Derick got his Christmas present early...I gave in. We had all the family here and it was perfect to bust it out and play!

I don't know if my mom or dad would be very happy if I put the video of them up. Let me just tell you, my mom is crying by the end of her turn playing the drums!!

Out to see Edward...I mean Twilight

I went with my "Bowling League" girls, Carly & Kristy, to go see Twilight!

No husbands * no kids * Carly's new fancy car * yummiest soup & salad ever * hot chocolate (w/ 3 too many creamers) * sugared gummy orange slices * popcorn * reserved seats * screaming & yelling *

This is Kristy wondering where hot chocolate comes from.

Messing around waiting for the movie to start! Lovely pictures, I know!

Yeah! A picture we are all acting normal in! Thank you popcorn lady for taking it!

Hanging out...

New Challenge for Mid Life Crisis!

My friend sent me this video from a ward talent show. It is hilarious and I think Mid Life Crisis should take it up for next year! If you don't know about Mid Life Crisis, take a look at THIS post.

Halloween Activities!

We had so many different Halloween parties this year! Andrew was in and out of that horse costume so many times! Isn't Ashley just the cutest little bee you ever did see! Thank you Wal Mart for carrying a horse costume so I didn't have to make one and thanks Gramea for the bee costume!

Em's Birthday!

Way back when, well like a month ago, I did a POST for my little sisters birthday. Here are some pictures of her and her cake! She wanted a star cake with purple frosting and sprinkles, so this is what I did! I am so glad there is someone else out there that loves sprinkles as much as I do! Do you love sprinkles?

Happy Birthday Emily!

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my cute little sister! I am so glad you live close by now. Andrew and Ashley just LOVE you! You are a great aunt!

Playing dress up!

Take your sister to work day!
