Halloween 2011

Halloween was kind of crazy for us this year. We moved out of the Basement and into a house. Yay. So we spent all day moving and then rushed to trick or treating. We did the church trunk or treat first and then went to some of the neighborhoods with the Cutlers and Noels. The kids had a blast and got tons of candy. We crashed hard that night because we were all so tired from getting back Sunday from Dallas and Monday from moving. We are all settled in now and cant wait to get some progress on our new house plans. Emilie was a scary witch and Easton was the cutest police officer you ever saw.

Dallas, TX

BYU football played in cowboys stadium this year against TCU. We booked tickets from Vegas and spent 2 days in Dallas Texas with Mark, Carol, Steven & Rachel. We had red eye flights both ways so we didn't get much sleep but we had a great time going to the game and then to six flags the next day. Exhaustion set in when we got home but it was a great quick trip. Even with the salsa dance party our hotel had all night long where people pay to sleep not dance... OK moving on. 

 Here we are at six flags. We paid extra to get the flash pass so we hardly had to wait in line. Which means we rode a lot of roller coasters and are heads were spinning all day. My father in-law showed major signs of old age ;) He was no longer thrilled by the rides, he stopped at every bathroom we passed so he could "bond" with the toilets and he sat down every chance he got. Needless to say he enjoyed the game better than six flags. But only because the Cowboy cheerleaders were on the mega screen the entire time.

Emilie's 5th Birthday

Better late than never. I can not believe I have a 5 year old. It seems crazy to think we are in our last stretch before I have a child in school. I'm thankful for this time I get to spend with my kiddos and I love making their Birthdays fun and Magical like mine were. I grew up loving birthdays (Daniel, not so much) it was always my special day and I want to make that day special for my kiddos. Emilie is so girly and loves to perform and be on stage... (If you haven't seen the last post, you need to) Anyway, I decided to throw her a DIVA party. We invited friends and they got glammed up. Funky hair, nails and make-up were a must. They got to walk out on the catwalk and perform their favorite songs. We listened to a lot of Justin Beiber & Selina Gomez. I loved it! Emilie was spoiled with presents and overall it was a great birthday. Other than I still have a pinata in my coat closet because it was too cold and windy to go outside...hmmm what to do with that. I'm so thankful for this little 5 year old who has so much energy and excitement. Its more than I can handle some days but I can't imagine not having her in my life. I'm truly blessed to have 2 healthy and beautiful kids. Here are some pictures that documented her special day. 

It's been a while...

I can't believe its been a month since I have blogged last. It has been kind of crazy around here. November 1st we moved and we didn't have Internet for a while, then we had thanksgiving and Christmas shopping. Things have stared to calm down except for the Chrismtas Shopping but I now have a few minutes to blog so here we go YAY.

This video is of Emilie in her true glory. We were getting ready for church and she started singing for me. I was busting up because she let me tape her one my phone a couple of times and then on the camera which was the best one by far. She is pure drama but we love her. I hope you enjoy her personality as much as I do in this video.

Singing to a song from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

October Girls Night

We had a Halloween girls night this month. Everyone dressed up, we did a craft and danced out on the kinect. It was a lot of fun and I love getting to know new people every time.

Ashley Kartchner won first place for her costume (crazy cat lady) is what we called her. I won second place (cruella deville) and Alexis won third place with her sweet (facebook profile). Nikki dressed as MJ and came in a close 4th. Anyways, we had a great night.
