Brianna's Special Day 11/28/09

How how cute is this picture! Our little girls is growing up so fast.  She got baptized and oh what a special day we had.

Daddy's little princess is growing up way, way to fast.  Brianna and I  went on a mommy daughter date in February to pick out her dress pattern and material.  We worked on it together.  It is a memory that I will cherish. Thank you Bri!

Thanksgiving 11/26/09

Thanksgiving Dinner! We were able to host dinner for my sister, brother-in-law, niece, mom and dad. It made for a big group. We had to put two tables together to make one big enough to fit us all. The food was good but the company was GREAT!

Today was also Bri's 8th birthday!  She doesn't like Thanksgiving food so for her we made her some white shell noodles which she loves.  It made her very happy that she didn't have to eat turkey.  I feel sorry for her in the way that as she becomes a mom she might have to cook this dinner on her birthday. Maybe she will marry someone that loves to cook!




Fruit kabobs turn into turkey feathers. The kids thought this idea was fun.  Rena helped the kids put it together and stick them into the squash.  Then Rena made a head out of card stock.  It was really cute.  The kids loved eating it.   
Rena and Steve playing with Ryker.  Ryker is enjoying all the attention that he is receiving.

Brianna opening her birthday presents.  She received boots,  ipod shuffle, music, pixo's, bend a roos, tights, and candy.

 Here are the boots she loves them.  I don't think there has been a day they have been off of her feet.

Brianna's Friend Party 11/21/09

Brianna decided to have a PJ movie party! She gave the girls the choice of the movie UP or How to eat fried worms.  They decided to watch the second one.  We got some decorations on line and found some really cute invitations that looked like movie tickets.  The girls all thought that was fun.  p.s. abby had a sleep  over it was fun. I am finally eight!

Sick kids = No fun 11/09

                         The week before Thanksgiving we had two little kids that were throwing up.  This just added to the stress that I had.  Thankfully the girls handled it good and Heavenly Father helped me  get everything done that needed to be done.

Paige came home from school one day and said, "mom I don't feel very good!"  She ended up throwing up and then she quickly fell to sleep

Lauren one night started to scream and she had thrown up in the middle of the night.  She continued doing so through out the night and into the next day.  About 6:30pm I went to the store and when I came home this is how I found her.  Shane thought it was one of the cutest things that he had seen in a long time.

Craft Group 11/09

We all love doing crafts and decided that we should get together and enjoy doing them together.  This is the first time most of us have used a power tool.  It was FUN! 

We used this saw to cut the wood into blocks.  It took us some time to figure out the right tool to use but thankfully for Jacy she had the right one.  Yea!  I finished my blocks and now I just need to figure  out where I'm going to put them.  This craft group is great for me just so I can talk to other adults.

Halloween 10/09

This year we went trick or treating with the Roger Family here in at the local college.  It was fun to spend some time together.  We learned however that we need to get there much earlier then we did next year to get better candy.  Lauren  was a clown but after finding out that the costume had come major malfunctions we went to the next costume of tinker bell.

We took the kids trick-or-treating in a close neighborhood.  The kids loved it.  It was cold and the kids didn't complain about that  for a long time.  Brianna ended up getting a headache and wanted to be done before the other two girls.  So- we came home and fed the girls a quick bite and then Shane took the two little girls out for more CANDY! Lauren wanted to go all night.  At one point we had to empty their buckets because they got to be to heavy.  Lauren thought that we stole her candy and just kept crying.  Once she realized that she could get more by saying trick or treat she was ok.  Although she was even better when she saw all of the candy she got.
Lauren would help herself to her candy.  She didn't think that she needed to ask if she could have some because she was the one that worked for it.

 

Jump, Jump and Jump! 10/09

After Ryker played for a little while I decided to look at him because it had gotten really quiet!  This is what I found.  I've never had a baby do this before.  In fact he seems to do a lot of things differently then my girls.  It is really fun to be his mom.
