Christmas

CHRISTMAS!! YAY!

Christmas started way early in the morning for us... can we say 3am?? ya! That's right, we have an early bird at our house. Sadie was up at 2:45 and then woke up all the kids and gave them a tour of the Christmas presents all the while I slept!!!

So I got up and we tore in to them.. it was so much fun watching their faces light up. The kids got spoiled of course and got most of the stuff they asked for. I have to say that I feel so lucky to have such great kids and the cute little presents they gave me.. I love you guys so much :)

Sadie and her Video Camera.. between that and her Mp3 player she is totally cool!! She just seems so grown up..

Future Tony Hawk.. This kid loves to skateboard! Hes pretty good too!! wow I'm so proud!

This is Princess Reagan, doing her prettiest pose!!

Gum in hair?!

So Reagan woke up this morning with a big ole' wad of gum in her hair. She must have snuck into her big sisters purse or maybe she had her own stash somewhere?? who knows! Thank goodness for my giant tub of creamy peanut butter (crunchy doesn't work!!) we worked it out. I can only imagine if I would have had to cut it. Especially it being right on top (can we say Dennis the menace?? it would have fit though, she is very busy and shall we say a bit naughty?)

This picture totally redeems the messy peanut butter and makes all that mess easier to get over. Gotta love her!!

Sweet Sadie Mae

Sadie has gotten in the christmas spirit this yr. Besides making a giant list of her wants and wishes.. She has proven to be quite the little angel. She is always thinking of everyone and what she can give them, She loves making people happy.

Im so proud of her and her willingness to make everyone smile:)

Temple Square

We went to see the lights at Temple Square last night. The kids love riding the "Polar Express" (trax) and warming up with a $4 cup of hot chocolate!! This is my favorite tradition at Christmas.

Even though are family has different circumstance's, we are family none the less. We've taken the kids up every year, and so as long as we can get along. Then we will continue to do it all together. It was great to have Colby come, I haven't seen him in awhile. He has grown so much! He is now 13 and looks 25! I love him and was glad he came.

We got up there kinda late, so we didn't get to go in any of the buildings. Thank goodness the bathrooms were still open!.. that hot chocolate went right threw my little Reagan! We spent half the night in the bathroom. I had to take a picture, I thought it was so funny! It was a great night and I'm so grateful that I get to take my family to the Temple. One day I might get to go inside!!

**Girls Night Out**

So ever since I went to see Twilight (on opening day!) Sadie has been bugging me to take her. I finally gave in and decided to make it a "girls night". We called up my Mom and had a great day, from start to finish.

We made dinner together, it was so nice to have my Mom and daughter in the kitchen cooking with me.. And what "girls night" would be complete with out chocolate!..right??

So we made chocolate chip cookies (Ashlee has the best recipe..ever!)

The movie was even better the 2nd time!! Sadie kept saying "Mom, when is Edward going to bite her??" and "Edward is so-o cute, huh Mom?" gosh I love that girl.. She has great taste!! Im sure it had nothing to do with the fact that me and Noelle had been talking about the book for the last 6months!

It was a great night, and Im glad that I have such a awesome Mom and a sweetheart Sadie Mae.

Play Date

We love getting together to play! The kids have a blast playing while us mommys get to chat and catch up! For Rylan and C.j. its just another day but Reagan and Briggs loved having another friend come play..yay Addi!

FINALLY!!

Hello to all my Family and Friends! I guess its about time that I make a blog.. So this is my attempt! Forgive me if its lame and not great, but like I said this an attempt!..
