Maylee's Christmas Dances!

This was today at Park View I had to hide in the corner so she did not see me watching what a silly girl, she did really good today! I did not know my camera could not video turned this way.

Festival of Tree's

This year Braden's kindergarten class sang ant the festival of tree's they sang tons of cute Christmas songs and had actions to go with them, his favorite was five little jingle bells. Maylee danced also, the night before was her first performance at Highland estates she ws so excited to get her costume and makeup on we got there and it was time to walk out and she grabbed my leg and froze then burst into tears, I gave her to another mom thinking she might go out with her oh no instead she screamed, the 2nd dance her teacher took her out and she cried and went and sat in front with her teacher, talk about major dissapointment I think I felt way worse then I needed to! So the next day is the festival and I am telling her all sorts of things like you can't take dance if you don't perform, I am going to half to take back your costume if you don't dance, and any other ting I could think of, well we came up with an idea we would have my sister take her and see if she would dance, Maylee seemed to be okay with the plan little did she know we were all following her to watch we set in back and sure enough the little poop danced her heart out she sang every word and did not miss a beat! The funniest part is her face when she came out and saw us all sitting there, So I guess my sister has a job taking May to her performances! Maylee did not love Santa
Gracie and Fallon were very curious

Milk from Santa?????

Maylee dancing like a star!

Braden performing with his class!

ABB Pattern

I was asking the kids what they wanted to get each other for Christmas and they were telling me different ideas and Braden said, " Mom are you going to keep having ABB Patterns for babies?" I said what, and he said you know ABB patterns like boy, girl, girl, he then asked are you going to have another boy, then a girl then another girl just like an ABB pattern. So if you have a kindergartner or have had one you know that they learn different patterns and they have to color coordinate them to I think he is defiantly learning in school!

Sleeping on Daddy's lap

Fast asleep

This is where I want to be!


cutie pie

Gracie fell asleep just like this, it was so cute she goy comfy and crashed! She is growing up so fast I can't believe it! She is still inch worming around the room, she finally will eat baby food, and drink juice!

3 IN A ROW

I had to take this picture, it is rare that they are all 3 this close. I can't remember what they were watching but they were all in to it. Gracie has to try hard to keep up with these 2, she loves to sit next to them and just watch there every move!

Thanksgiving 2008

We had a great Thanksgiving this year, we started out the holiday on Wednesday by going to the cabin in Island Parke, we had a blast playing games, eating, talking and just relaxing! We stayed there until Saturday and then went to my cousins wedding that night in Rigby, then it was on to Bountiful Utah to Jeff's Aunt and Uncle's missionary farewell that was on Sunday the kids kept asking where we were going next! They had fun swimming at the hotel and eating treats late at night! It was fun to see Jeff's cousins, there was 1 I have never met before, so needless to say we were busy but very glad we could spend time with both of our families! I am so thankful for all the blessings my family has been given! I am thankful for a wonderful husband and 3 super cute kids!!!!Getting ready for the big dinner
Here is Braden, Cecey, and Maylee waiting for the food

decorating the tree for the cabin!

Let me explain..... it is a tradition every year after Thanksgiving dinner all the girls go out and cut sown a Christmas tree for the cabin, I am the one in charge of the chainsaw scary I know!

This year we went out in search of the perfect tree and found lots of wolve tracks, I was scared to death I knew I had the saw but after cutting down the tree it was a good thing we did not see any big bad wolves because it took me a few pulls and the chain fell off!!!

Here are the girls my sister Trish and Cecey, my Mom, Maylee, my sis Brittney and me!

The Feast

Braden has been really excited about the feast they were going to have at school, they made these cute indian outfits, played games, made pizza, and other fun stuff! My friend helped at the party so I was able to get some pictures of the special feast!
