BREAKFAST WITH SANTA!!

Quinn's parents ward has breakfast with Santa every year so we headed up there and had some yummy breakfast and got to see the good old jolly man!!

I love this picture of Peyton

Peyton and her cousin Tate

They had a table to stuff all these bags for the homeless shelter and all Caleb wanted to do was stuff the bags.

These two have a love hate relationship

Tate, Mama, Peyton, Papa and Caleb

Our little family

Peyton wanted nothing to do with Santa so we thought Tate and Caleb might sit on him but as you can tell Tate was not a fan.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

I actually figured out how to get my pictures on my blog I am moving up in the world!!

Caleb's school had a Christmas program, he goes to a small school and I don't think they were real prepared for all the parents coming. They put the Kindergartens on the front row, no stage and we were about 30 rows behind. So needless to say we saw NOTHING of his program. Luckily Quinn's Mom scooted her way on up and has a massive lens on her camera so she got some great pictures. Looks like he did a great job though!!

Caleb after the program

I love how he found Grandma in the crowd and waves to her in the middle of the song, easily distracted I guess!!

Looks like he is really into the song.

So cute!!

NEW COMPUTER

My computer decided it was no longer going to continue working. Pretty good considering me and Quinn bought it 7 years ago for like $200.00. I have been complaining to Quinn how I can't do my blog because all the pictures are on there and I think he finally got the hint and gave me a new laptop for Christmas (just a little early). Now all I have to do is get all the pictures off of the old one and learn how to work this new thing and it will be all good, until then I am off. Wish me luck because I am going to need it!! Lots of cute pictures to come!!

TURKEY BOWL

We go down to St. George every year for Thanksgiving at my Mom's. I am a loser and only took pictures at the annual Turkey Bowl and nothing else. I was the cheerleader/referee this year due to the darn knee. Next year I will be there ready to whoop some butt. I even went and got flags this year due to cheating the previous years. It is a fun tradition we due with everyone but we sure missed Grandpa this year he has been there every year right in the mix of the game. He was probably watching down on us laughing. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

The whole gang before the "BIG" game
My cousin Crystal scored the first touchdown of the game so here is her victory dance

The WINNING team!!

My sister Loni claims she was like a half person and then there was Caleb who was also a half person so it looks like they had alot more people on the team but really those two did not due much to help out. Love you guys though!!

PRINCESS ON ICE

About a month ago Peyton had a mommy daughter date. I took her to Princess on Ice and she was in heaven!! It was a way cute show and that girl did not move the entire time. She is terrified of any character so I was not sure how she would do but they would come right by her and she was fine. Her favorite princess right now is Snow White, every morning now she asks if she can go to "Princess Ice."

My pictures never stay in order so sorry.

Here she is watching the show, she was amazed!! Here they all are dancing.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

We had another fun and exciting Halloween. Caleb wanted to be the boring Transformers, we did switch from BumbleBee to Optimus Prime this year and Peyton really wanted to be a princess but being the mean mom I am I talked her out of it and made her a little darling witch, probably the last year I will be able to do that. We go up to Quinn's parents every year and trick or treat up there. I wasn't feeling so swell with the surgery but I did not want to miss Halloween so I made myself actually move and walked almost a whole block. Boy that was stupid I was feeling it after but it was fun to see the kids and Peyton really was getting into it this year and was digging all the candy. Hope everyone had a Happy and safe Halloween!!All the cousins, minus poor Mikayla who was home sick
My little witch and Optimus Prime

Caleb, Peyton and Tate

So cute!!

These two have a love hate relationship. All Tate whats to do is love on her and she is not a real fan of the whole thing.

OUCHIE!!

Sorry this may be a little gross for some to look at but I want to look back at this "FUN" time and know what I went through. I fell last year skiing and hurt my knee way bad we found out that I popped my knee cap off so they popped it back in. After about a month it was feeling pretty good so we did not think much else about it. Then about 2 months ago I started having more pain so we went to the Ortho and he knew something was wrong with the knee so we went in for surgery on October 22nd. I unfortunately had a stage 3 torn ACL. So now I am going on day 9 of this absolute HELL. I had one setback which I got a mild infection in my leg and am having a hard time draining my fluids out of my leg which is causing alot of bruising and making my leg VERY sensitive. I have never had so much pain or be so jealous of my husband who is sound asleep on his stomach. You start to miss the little things in life that you take for granted everyday. I am so ready to be a mommy to my kids and drive. Huge shout out to everyone who has helped we could not have done it with out you guys!!!

Here I am right after surgery. I do not even remember Quinn taking this picture.

Getting ready to leave to come home. They put a pain blocker in your knee when you leave so the first 24 hours you feel no pain and are feeling great then your world comes crashing down on you.
