Getting Ready for Christmas

We had a wonderful time tonight decorating the Christmas tree. It was LOUD AND CRAZY but through it all I felt a sweet peaceful feeling that this holiday brings. I am so thankful for my Saviour. I am thankful for His life and His teachings and for His atonement. Audrie asked tonight if it would hurt to put nails in your hands. It made me think of just how much He suffered and how much of it was for me and my silly, selfish wrongs. I also felt a sweet love for my Heavenly Father and for His willingness to send His son down to earth. It's a blessing to know these things and to be able to share them with my family.

I just had to get a shot of this. My cute little family looking at the "polar express" going around our tree.

Wasted Day? No Way!!!

So I bought this K'NEX rollercoaster from a yard sale for about a quarter, and the manual to explain how to make it was ruined and stuck together so I made the rollercoaster by looking at the itty bitty picture on the back of the manual. It took about the whole day, but the kids thought it was amazing and Audrie even called me a Genius. He he fooled her but it was fun!

Reason # 100,987 that I LOVE being a mom

Fall Fun

We went with our friends to the pumpkin walk. There were hundreds of decorated pumpkins. Of course my kids loved the Star Wars pumpkins the best.

The kids were all Star Wars this Halloween. They practice the daily, so they were very authentic Jedi's.

Aren't they sooooo CUTE!!

Isaac had a birthday. Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Kaylee came up a few times that week and we had fun playing with our new puppies.

We went to Chuck E Cheese which is now considered as cool as Disneyland to the kids. Isaac had a blast and is really playing the roll of a 2 year old. He likes to climb on everything, is always jumping around, and even throws temper tantrums. Hard to imagine with such a sweet face.

What We Did This Summer

We had a blast at the cabin 4 wheeling and going to parades!

Riley Graduated from Kindergarten, Had a birthday at the Mayan, and got a remote control airplane that we flew at the park by our house.
