The Month of December

December can be such a crazy month with so many things going on. For us it was crazy busy!! This is Maddi at her Christmas Program for pre school!

We went down to St. George a couple times this month! This is us at the St. George Temple

Christmas Eve. All the grandchildren re inact the Christmas story! It is so cute to see them all participate! (well almost everyone...) Maddi was Mary this year!

This is McKay not participating!! His aunt was determine to get him to wear something but in the end McKay won!

Santa's little helper Christmas day! She would pass out the presents to everyone!!

Will this Christmas day ever end?

Snowmobiling!

McKay's Swim Lesson

This is a picture of McKay underwater. He has been taking Swim lessons and he has been doing so well. I know he looks terrified in this picture but I think it was because I wasnt in the water!!

McKay!!?? And Art with Heart

SO while I was cleaning I saw McKay walk toward me with one of my shoes on. I went to grab my camera and I saw him trying to clean too. I am hoping I can get him to clean as he gets older but should I be worried about the shoe wearing?

Maddi Had her first performance last Saturday. I wont lie it was such a fun day for me(hopefully for Maddi too) It was so fun doing her hair and putting on her make-up and watching her dance. I think my cheeks were sore from smiling so big!! Maddi we are so pround of you. Did such a great job!!!
My little poser
Does anyone else think her warm ups are a little too big!

So we got partial of her performance and sorry if the video gets a little shaky!!

Twilight the movie

All I have to say is soooooo dumb!!!! I was sadly disappointed. I wanted it to be so much more than it was. I am so glad that I read the books because it is of course so much better. I am sure I will still go see the second or even third if they make one just out of curiosity but lets pray that is will be so much better than the first!! Boo!

Going Private again

On the news the other day they had a women from Utah have some thing happen to her from her blog. Something about a picture of her son. Anyway to scary for me to keep my blog not private. I know its a pain but better safe than sorry! If everyone can leave there email address again that way I can invite everyone!

Trick or Treat

Maddi at preschool


Maddi was so funny to watch during her parade. She would walk one foot crossing the other foot in front(kind of like a model walk) shake her hips and kind of ham it up. It was seriously so funny!



McKay loved running from house to house with all the other kids. He didn't quite get the concept of actually going to the door step to get candy. He just wanted to run. Graham, however wanted me to make sure that McKay would get some candy in his bag so I would have to go up to the door(because most of the time McKay wouldn't come with me) and do it for him. It was so emabrassing because I felt like I was the one trick or treating. I would explain every time this is for my son( who half the time was never insight because he was running with the other kids)

Maddi on the other hand was die hard. She went with her dad and two of her cousins for a couple hours and came back with her bag almost full! Lucky me I guess! SHe had so much fun! I love seeing kids have fun like this! It makes it so fun for me!

Maddi and McKay

It has seemed like I was having bad luck with getting my family pictures taken. Every time we would schedule it something would happen like McKay getting a big scratch on his face or it had rained that morning or something but after a third try we did it. We got some really really cute pictures of the kids that I just love!!! Tiff thanks for hanging in there with us and taken these cute pictures!

UEA Weekend

(Sorry for the long post) The kids and I had a lot of fun over UEA. Usually we are so busy during the week we dont have any time to do anything fun so I was so grateful for the break to spend some time with them. We went to Gardner Village (which was so much fun)

Maddi and McKay had their face painted!

Pony Rides!!!



Petting Zoo (Which McKay loved)
Maddi trying to be brave

We went up to the cabin and went four wheeling

Thanksgiving point ( so boring blah) but got some cute pics



Carving Pumpkins (McKay would have nothing to do with it)
