Merry Christmas!

Festival of the Trees 2011

My family decorated two trees for the Festival this year, and the Sunset Jr. High Cheerleaders that I coach did one as well. We went down and decorated them yesterday, and they turned out AMAZING! This first tree was titled "A Redneck Christmas" and we dedicated it to my late Uncle Gerry... This second tree was titled "A Child Is Born" and we dedicated it to my late Uncle Gene....This tree was the Cheerleaders tree. It was titled "A Child's Christmas" and it was dedicated to 3 boys, Dallin, Jeremy, and Tyler.

Everyone go down to the Festival of the Trees this week and check it out. The trees and other things they have there are so beautiful and it's for a good cause! Hope your Holiday Season is filled with ChEeR!

A Halloween Month in Review

Ok, so since I've started working again, I really suck at keeping this blog updated! Our October was packed full of fun, though! We spent the month wearing silly costumes...going to birthday parties for this cute little guy (Zoey's boyfriend, Brady, turned 2!)...carving pumpkins...Going to parties at dance class...And parties with our cousins... And parties at our church...wearing matching costumes with our cute friends...dressing up as cute cheerleaders...falling asleep on the way to the trunk or treat...going trick or treating twice with these cousins...and once with these ones... and getting more candy than we know what to do with!Hope you all had a SPOOK-tacular October and a very Happy Halloween!

Taste The Rainbow

(Please keep in mind that all these pics were taken on a cell phone, so the quality isn't the best.)

Nick sent me these pictures the other day. He was at home with Zoey while I was working and I guess this is what they did to pass the time. Eat SKITTLES!! Nick and Zoey both absolutely love them. That's a lot of Skittles!This picture is my favorite! I just love her little face as she's eating the candy. So cute. I have no idea what this little sad face is for... but I thought it was funny!Zoey insisted on wearing her Tinkerbell backpack and Dora watch the other day. She looked like such a big girl that we had to take her picture. It won't be long until we're taking another picture just like this on her first day of Kindergarten...

Beauty Day

So Zoey and I went and got our hair cut the other day. This wasn't Zoey's first hair cut, but she was so darn cute and excited for it that I had to blog about it. She sat still the whole time, and between you and me, I think she felt pretty grown up! When we were walking out to the car I told Zoey I was so proud of her for being such a good girl and sitting still so good. She turned to me and said, "Mommy, you good girl like me too!" Oh, that girl makes me smile!

Quite An Adventure!

A couple of weeks ago, my mom took me, Zoey, Ben, and Isabel on the FrontRunner to Salt Lake City. The kids were SO excited to ride on a "real train!" Here they are waiting for the train to come...They thought it was so cool that we got to go UPSTAIRS on the train! After we got off the train, we headed over to the Discovery Gateway. It was TONS of fun (although, a little pricey). The kids were running around non-stop the entire time. There was SO MUCH to do! Like play with balls...

Hit Things... (I mean play music!)

Play House...

Climb the rock wall...

Fly a helicopter...

Do some gardening... and ride a horse... The worst part about this place... THE NOISE!!! It's a super loud place, I think that's why the kids love it so much! We finally tore them away from there and headed over to the fountains to cool off. Thanks, Mom, for taking us! It was an adventure well worth it!
