DAY 5

I love that this little girl loves anything you tell her to love!! Like her Dad has hammered liking the Longhorns into her and now they are her favorite team. Hook em' Horns!!

Same with this kid, he is in love with everything his Dad loves. From dirt biking, sports,watching sports. He sees anything on T.V. he immediately wants to go do it with his Dad. A couple of weeks ago Quinn took him to Snowmobiling Cross it was on a FREEZING night and that kid wanted to stay until the very end of it, he could have cared how cold it was!!

I love that tonight Caleb had a Birthday Party and I had a girl's get together. So Peyton and Quinn had a Daddy Daughter night and I came home to find them in the Movie theater watching Aladdin.

28 DAYS OF LOVE

I wanted to post 28 things I love about my kids and hubby for the "month of love". Of course I am already behind but hey I will finish it off strong!!

*I love the love my husband has for me and my kids!! Even after LONG day at work he will always come home and play with them!!

Not the best picture being at a grave site and all but......

* I LOVE Peyton's hugs and kisses she is ALWAYS there to tell you she loves you and gives you a big hug

*I love Caleb's will to ALWAYS want to play it does not matter the time, the person or the place he will find someone to play with him!!

CHRISTMAS EVE

We went down to Temple Square for Christmas Eve this year. It was something new we usually go earlier but never made it down there so only half of Quinn's family was going to be with us so we went down there. It was pretty crowded and they had all the visitors centers closed so there was NO where to get warm so that was a bummer!! After we headed up to his parents house had some Hot Chocolate, opened jammies, and headed home so the Big Man could pay us a visit!! Temple square lights have to be some of the prettiest lights around, I wonder what it would cost to do my house like their lights :)?

Here is the "cute" family

my daughter was a little whiney that night so look at her lovely face

Seriously so pretty!!

Here is the cousins that came

Peyton (with her lovely face again), Brooklyn, Connor, Taylor and Caleb

By this point Caleb ditched us to be with Pops and G-ma

But I love the pond with the temple in the back so I was going to get a picture no kid, or not

SHE DID IT!!

Our neighborhood did a little Christmas get together in someones garage and instead of neighbor gifts you donated new toys to a children's shelter. Well as you saw before our last encounter with Santa did not go so well. So her mean Dad informed her that she was on the bad list and the way to get off that list was to sit on Santa's lap. So low and behold the jolly old man made an appereance at the party. She was actually really excited to sit on his lap and then I could not get her off his lap I think she talked to him for 5 min and then she asked if she could go sit on his lap again after she had already told him her whole list!! I am so PROUD of her and sure glad she made it back onto the "good" list, she made us call everyone after to let them know she was on the "good" list!! Caleb of course is not afraid of him and jumps right up on his lap and gave him his list as well.

Here is the "good" girl sitting on Santa's lap

NEIGHBOR HOOD X-MAS PARTY

We hosted a Christmas party this year with all our neighbors, we seriously have the BEST neighbors EVER!! I can never move because I love them all so much and we have ENDLESS supply of friends for my kids!! We did the typical eat, did white elephant gifts (some to dirty and funny to show pictures), then Taryn did a game where we split up into teams and had to guess what Christmas movie they were acting out!! It was such a great night!!

The tables all set up

Thanks to Taryn who let me borrow so much stuff and helped me make all the mittens for the utensils!!

Some of the yummy White Chocolate Popcorn

Here are the "WINNERS" of the game

DANCING QUEEN

Peyton had another dance recital last month she did very good and loved being the center of attention. I did not get pictures of her while she was up on stage or one of our little family or the pretty little rose her prince (also know as her Daddy)....why you ask? Maybe due to the fact that I lost Caleb at this HUGE High School and we spent the ENTIRE time looking for him. We did pause for 3 min to watch our little Miss Peyton get her groove thing on and then went back to searching, come to find out he was just sitting with his friend Owen's family, only problem is he failed to tell me and so Quinn was not to happy so he took Caleb home!!

Peyton, My sister Lindsey and my Dad came out to watch her

All the sassy pictures of her. I did at least record it for her and hopefully for her spring recital I will keep an eye on my kid and get to ENJOY her performance!!

THANKSGIVING-10

I know I am major behind but hey the cruise took up a lot of blogging!! We headed down to my Mom's in St. George and enjoyed the warmer weather. My Uncle, cousin and her fiancee came as well. We played our annual Turkey Bowl, shopped, ate, ate and ate some more and then we all brought the dirt bikes down and did some riding and then we took the kids to Tuachan to see the lights and Santa!!

The Turkey Bowl participants (notice Peyton she was a little done by this point)

My other man and the Princess. This girl would never get off this bike if it was up to her.

TUACHAN

Caleb was very excited to see him, Peyton...

not so much!!

Still crying even though we told her she did not need to sit on his lap

Even 10 min later still has the pouty face on!!

30 min later feeling a little better!!
