Letters to Santa!!!

We were a little late this year sending out our lists! We usually do it the night of Thanksgiving but silly me I forgot to get the cookies! So we had to postpone till Sunday night! Both of the girls had a blast looking through the toy books to decide what they wanted to ask for! Then we signed them and put them in our magical Santa mailbox and set out the milk and cookies like always and went to bed! When Mia woke up she was so excited to see that Santa ate all the cookies and drank all the milk! Now she is just counting down the days till Christmas!

Mia has curlers in her hair for her Nutcracker performances!

Busy day!!!

We had a super busy day on Sunday this week! We were almost done decorating for Christmas and we had two birthday parties one on each side of the family!!! We got up and I tried to finish what I could with the decorations while the girls watched Christmas movies, then we got ready to drive up to sandy for the first party. Vita turned 7 and we celebrated at Chuck E Cheese the girls had a blast and came home with all kinds of goodies! Then we drove straight to Orem to my aunt Jill's for Braxton's birthday, he turned 6. While we were there my uncle let us walk across the street to see his boss' house and lights! We got to walk the grounds and see everything twinkling! It was so funny to watch all the cars drive past to look at the lights and slow down and stare as we were walking through the gates wondering if we were breaking in! The lights were really so amazing! Thanks again Kelly! Here are just a few random pics from the day! My kids were so not in the mood to take pictures this day!!!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas...

I started decorating for Christmas this week and I am getting so excited! Me and the girls set up one of my favorite decorations last night, my Nutcracker Village!!! I just love it and the girls do too! It is so pretty when all the lights are out and the characters are dancing away! The Nutcracker has always been special to me, my grandma used to take me to see it around the holidays and now Mia performs it with her dance studio every year! It will always remind me of grandma I miss her soooooo much and it helps me to feel her close by watching over us! Love you grandma!

(Don't look at the light outlet on the wall I just got done painting and have not found the covers I want yet!!!)

Here are some pics of the girls with the village! I will post more of my decorations as I put on the final touches!




Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!

Painting finally...

I got really bored last night and both kids went to bed really early so I finally started ripping down the wallpaper in the kitchen and I got it all preped to paint this morning! I'm just waiting for my dad to bring some lunch so I can get my strength back and I will be painting!! I will post some pics when I get it done!!!

My new favorite thing...

Ok seriously I LOVE these cakes! I am so going to gain some major weight with this place so close to the ranch and Mia's school I know I will be eating them way too much! If you have not had one yet you have to get one they are in Sandy on State.
Are they not the cutest things you have ever seen!!!

Mia's school project...

Here is a school project that Mia did last night! She was given a plain paper bag and instructions of how to cut it to look like a scarecrow. We looked through all my craft stuff and she decided to make it Jasmine!!! Only Mia would choose a princess scarecrow! I helped her cut the paper bag and Jasmine's clothes, hair, and accessories handed them over to her and she went to town! I love how creative she is!!! I think it turned out so adorable I had to share it with all of you!! You did an amazing job Mia, I love you!

The Doodlebops have taken over...

They have officially taken over at our house!!! We watch it non-stop right now and the baby already knows every word in every episode of the one DVD that we have! It is so cute to see her try to act out all the dance steps they do and sing all the songs! Of course she has involved Mia into the trend and even had my dad dancing to it this morning that was funny!!!!

2 days and counting!!!

We are on our third day of dry panties and no accidents!!! I am super excited and so is she!! Everytime after she uses the potty she comes running out so excited and says "that's FUN!!!" so I always ask her "what's fun going to the potty?" and she yells "YEAH!!!!" It is so cute I am so proud of her!!

My new craft blog...

If you have a second head over to my new craft blog to check out this new wordbook I have posted for sale!!!!

7 years REALLY???

Can you belive we have been married for 7 years!!! November 4th was our 7 year anniversary and it still blows me away!!! We went to Market Street again and then to see Eagle Eye (Amazing movie!!) We had a nice night out without the girls! Oh and I could not get him to take a good pic but at least we took some!

It's Halloween time!!!

We had so much fun this year for Halloween! Shandee invited all of us over to her house for Chili, rootbeer and doughnuts! We took all the kids around her house to Trick-or-Treat and the kids had a blast!

Thanks again Shandee and Mike for having us all over!!!

My Birthday..

Yes it's true I am another year older!! I had a great birthday, on Wed night I went with my side of the family to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner, and like always Hugo had to work so he didn't get to go! The birthday ice cream was so cute (sorry the pic is sideways!) Then for my birthday on Thur Hugo surprised me with tickets to Thriller and we had dinner at our new favorite place... Market Street Broiler, sooo yummy!

Thank you everyone for such a fantastic birthday!

Following the pack!!!

Ok so our lives are not exciting by any means but I am super sick of Myspace and not super fond of Facebook so I decided to give blogging a shot!
