HALLOWEEN (posted super late again:)

2009-12-15T16:21:00.000-08:00

We had a fun Halloween. There was a ton of different parties going on throughout that week. One at the church, at Parker's school and at our clubhouse. The party at the clubhouse was on Halloween. They had dinner, games and a costume judging contest. Ellie won for best girl costume (she was a kitty cat). Parker won for best boy costume (he was a pirate). Livi Lou was also a kitty cat. In the pics there is a really cute fairy witch. That is our friend Clint and all I can say is, his costume was awesome. He is 6'7, so it was pretty funny to see him dressed like that. Everybody thought he was probably the highlight of the evening.

Paul made Parker's beard out of burnt toast.

Parker's Birthday Party

I can't believe our little buddy is 5. He is such a funny little kid and is always saying the funniest things. He wanted to have a pool party this year. We had alot of fun eating pizza, opening presents and eating cake. One of my good friends is getting into making decorative cakes so she made his Cars cake. It turned out super cute (thanks Kara).

Livi's 1st Birthday!!!

I can't believe my sweet baby turned 1. It seems like only yesterday that I had to fly to Utah to deliver her (with all the drama that we had to deal with to bring her into this world). We feel so blessed to have her in our lives and she brings us so much happiness. She is such a funny baby and she is so independent (like her sister:). Here is a couple things about our little angel:

1. She loves her mommy, but mostly her daddy (unless she wants boobies:)

2. She adores Ellie, but loves to play rough with Parker.

3. She screams if she wants something (and I mean ANYTHING)

4. She hates baby toys and likes to play with things she isn't suppose too.

5. Loves to play in the toilet.

The list goes on, and on. Even though she is a stinker, we LOVE her soooooo much and we are so thankful that Heavenly Father gave her to us. She blesses our home everyday. We love you Livi Lou!! Happy Birthday our sweet baby.

New Pics!

I finally went and had the kids pictures taken. I had been meaning to do it forever, but it seems like we are always so busy. Anyway I finally did it and they turned out sooooo CUTE. I can't believe how big my baby is. She has fat rolls everywhere. She is the sweetest baby. Ellie and Parker love her to pieces. They are such a big help. I am so blessed to have such sweet babies. I love them so much and thank my Heavenly Father everyday for blessing me with these sweet spirits.

Christmas Break!

We were able to do some fun things for Paul and Ellie's Christmas break. One day we went to this place where you can take a airboat ride in the everglades and there was a zoo like thing you could go to that had deer, tigers, snakes, panthers, cougars, HUGE alligators and baby alligators. The baby alligators they let you hold and the kids and Paul thought it was the neatest thing ever. I am going to be sad when Paul and Ellie go back to school because we have had such a good time hanging out as a family and exploring some neat places in Florida.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

This was our first Christmas away from home, but we had a good Christmas and New Years. For Christmas day we went to the pool then a movie. We saw Marley & Me. It was soooo cute. On New Years Eve we went to the beach and watched fireworks then we went to some of our friends house and played Rock Band till midnight. Rock Band is awesome. We had a ton of fun and the kids had a riot playing with their friends. We miss everybody so much and hope everybody had a good holiday.

thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was at our house. We had a couple of our friends over and their families. The girls and I made dinner (good thing we had Nikki to help us, she is an amazing cook). The boys took a break from studying and hung out while the kids played all day with their friends. We had a good time. On Saturday they had a parade with Santa that we took the kids to. They had fun. I am so thankful for my sweet husband and beautiful babies. I am also thankful for mine and Paul’s family. We miss everybody so much and hope we can come home for the next Thanksgiving.
