DISNEYLAND!!

For Christmas this year we gave the kids a trip to Disneyland. So that is why in part no pictures of Christmas I truly did not take one single picture. How horrible am I? But there wasn't a lot of presents to take pictures of. But anyways Quinn's parents came down with us and it was the BEST to have Papa and Mama there to help out with the kids. The weather was so nice it was even HOT some of the time. We arrived later on Monday so we went to Disneyland that night and then the next two days. I was a little Disneylanded out by then but the kids had a blast and that is what we went for right? Caleb and Peyton aren't huge into seeing the characters (beside the princess's) so we mostly rode rides the whole time. Caleb went on almost all the rides except Indiana Jones (the one ride he was soooo excited for) I felt sooo bad when they told him no, little tears formed but lucky Papa was right there to take him on another ride to cheer him up. I think we went on Buzz about 10 times, literally they both loved that ride!! Peyton got to have lunch with the princess and it was so fun to watch her she even got to be a "honorary princess" for the day. That post to come later.

The one character Caleb went and stood by with A LOT of begging from his Mom

I stayed back on this ride because Grandma actually wanted to go so me and Peyton stayed back to watch them come down. Caleb loved this ride but Quinn is covering him so you can not see him.

The family in front of the Princess castle. My daughter can never make a normal face for a picture.

Peyton's Dance Recital

Peyton had her first dance recital about a month ago. Can I just tell you it was the cutest thing EVER!! She did really good, at first she was a little timid but then she got into the hang of it and danced her heart out. Her Daddy surprised her with a dozen roses in the end and she was so excited and kept saying she was a princess! She had a whole bunch of people come out to support her. Great job Peyton!! Sorry a lot of pictures, they were to many cute ones to decide from.

Check out those moves

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

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!!
Crystal,Loni,Caleb,Quinn,Kendall and Kelly

The LOSER team!!
They look like they were tough but failed to come up as winners.

Troy was a fiesty little player he ripped Quinn's beloved Texas shirt,

you think they would have won.

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.
