15th Anniversary

We spent the night at the phone store getting new Toys (and we love them) and then we went to the USU Aggie game.   Thanks to some great friends for the tickets.  It  was a fun night.  Jas took this pic with his new phone.

From the life of a three year old.

Yesterday I was making cards for the upcoming Haslem fundraiser with a neighbor Amy G and Katie. Katie kept talking about what shows she wanted and then she wanted us to play a song. I thought she was still talking about shows. "Mommy can you go put on the police naughty dog?" Police naughty dogs what show is that? no it's a song. After a few minutes Amy says "Feliz Navidad". Katie just smiled and said Yeah.  Amy said I'm glad that we figured it out.  Kaite said no I figured it out. I think I laughed for about five minutes. Thanks Amy for your deciphering. When we play Mad Gab next I want you on my team.

So Merry Christmas and Police Naughty Dog to all.

Temple Square Lights

This last weekend we went to Salt Lake to see the lights on Temple Square.

This was a awesome pic Jason took by the reflection pool.

We went with our great friends the Fluckiger Family.

It has been seven years since they moved away and as always it was so fun to see them again. 
Right before they had moved away we had gone to see the lights with them and it was quite the weekend. I was so glad to go with them again.  Michelle and Kesley are great buddies.  :Michelle wanted her pic in front of the "fake man." This was during our warm up and bathroom break in the visitor center.  There is a neat model of the SLC temple in there that the kids could look at and see what it's like inside.

Now Jared is the age that Dillon was.  Dillon was so great with Jared.  They were buddies.  I think Dillon carried Jared on his back for most of the night.  Thanks Dillon, I'm so glad that You are a great example for Jared. Look at how Jared is just watching Dillon in this pic.



It was fun to take pictures with the different settings on my camera although I still don't know what it all means I liked experimenting. These were crazy ones all to get the "orange" tree.

And thanks to the Fluckiger's friend tammy we got a pic with all of us.

 Jared is doing some wrestling pose and Katie is hanging on for dear life. Fun times.

 I'm so so thankful for my cute family, great friends and all the stuff.  Tis the Season.

Snow Fun

This first day it snowed this year the kids went down to the basement and got all their winter gear out.  I soon hear Katie squealing because all the older kids were telling her she could not were the snowsuit.  I was laughing so hard that I could hardly take some pictures.

I finally convinced her that it was toooo small and that she could wear some other snowclothes.

 Now we lovingly call her the green marshmellow.

A few days later we got about 6 inches of snow and the kids just wanted to play in it all day long. As I was calling them in I realized that I hadn't gotten out and taken any snow pictures for several years. So I hurried and grabbed the camera and a coat and took some pictures. It is fun to see Katie enjoy the snow so much this year.

They decided to make a snow fort so out were all the snow shovel's, Jason's orange construction buckets, some ice cream buckets and anything else that they thought was useful.

My Christmas Crafts

These are some fun projects I made last year for Christmas Decor. Now I'm getting excited for that season and I can't wait to get them out again.

I looked loong and hard for a cartridge for my cricut (Winter Wonderland) to find the right reindeer for these frames.  Now I'm thinking I might change it a bit this year and add a sleigh and take out one of the reindeer.  I just cut black vynal and stuck it to the glass.  No backs so when I was hanging it was a bit tricky, but not too bad.  I liked the over all look.

I just love, love, love  this tree.  I also stuck the vynal to the glass but put the green cardstock in the frame and so if I ever decide to  change the background, Easy Peasy!  This came from the Cricut cartridge Lyrical Letters.  It is one of my favs cuz it has a great variety of fonts and images for all seasons and occasions.

I had some other fun things but apparently I didn't get pictures so I'll catch them after I decorate for The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!

Katie's new look

This morning after all the other kids had gone to school Katie came out of the bathroom and said don't I look so pretty. She has been working on her own hair do's lately which always consists of the water spray bottle and combing her bangs to her left. Then she will always say "don't I look so pretty Mommy". Of course I think she looks so pretty. Well a few minutes after that she had picked us some play glasses and I look at her and this is what I see.

So here is the great hair do and Glasses on top. If any one knows me they know where she got the look of the glasses on the head. Isn't that where your sunglasses go when you aren't out in the sun. So I took some pictures and I had to share my littlest's

munchkin's morning.
