Went to Walmart - forgot the magic eraser....the only reason I went.


Went to Costco - forgot the formula...the only reason I went.

Went to Fred Meyer - forgot the milk....the only reason I went.

Preschool Christmas Party

On Ella's last day of school before Christmas break they had a party. The kids made the Christmas tree cones (like we had a couple weeks earlier), played bingo and ate some yummy food. I loved their hates they made. They always do fun craft projects.
I was at Ella's party for Halloween and they also played Bingo. Both times she was the first to get a Bingo! That's my girl!! (one of my favorite games)
She missed her class and by the time school was back in session she was ready to go back! It was nice to have her home though for those couple weeks.

Stuff

Thanks to Pinterest (again) I found these cute gifts to give to teachers. I made some for Kaiya and Ella's school teacher and also the girls teachers at dance. Each cup had candy in it and a Starbucks gift card attached.
Why is he getting big so fast?? Makes me sad how fast he is growing up.
Kaiya sneaking some Candy Canes.
We woke up to a little snow! Just the perfect amount. It coated the ground but it wasn't too bad to drive in. I am hoping this winter we get no more snow. Can't stand it.
Ella loves to do her homework each week. She always bugs me until I have time to sit down and help her. I hope it stays like this and she continues to love it. :)
Look at that boys hair!! This was the day I took him to get another hair cut. It grows so fast! He is so shy and hates sitting in the chair so either Cirdan or I (whoever is with him) has to sit with him on our lap.

Christmas Tree Cones

Thank you Pinterest for some really cute craft ideas. I found this one and thought this would be the perfect/easy craft for the kids! Ella had Maddie, our neighbor friend over. The kids had fun and could do most of it on their own! Ice cream cone Christmas trees....super cute!
Someone was eating the frosting!
Taking a bite...best part!
Kaiya came home from school with a big snowflake she made. It was her last day before Christmas break. Woo hoo!
She loves to kiss Cannon
Messsssssy face!
Photo bomber
Ella trying hers...
The girls favorite accessory...their brothers
Ha ha this picture made me laugh.
Jett loves the iPad!

Cannon's 1st Solid Food

Cannon ate his first solid foods a couple weeks ago. We have been feeding him rice but haven't tried anything else. This week will will try some sweet potatoes. Cannon was not a fan of the rice cereal and still isn't. It almost looks painful when I feed it to him. I feel bad but he is such a hungry big kid that I think he would enjoy some solid foods. Okay, I take that back. Sometimes he likes it but most of the times he doesn't. Hoping the sweet potatoes are a success!!
Jett wanted to try some. He hated it!! He still wants a bite each time I give some to Cannon...each time running away not happy with his decision.

Sweets

My Jetty boy LOVES sweets. He is pretty addicted. I often find him with his face looking like this. I don't know where he find the stuff...but he does! He especially loves mints...even if it is toothpaste. Today he was smelling the mouthwash (I had to stop him before he drank it).

Another Birthday...

My birthday was super busy, packed with fun things all day long! In the morning I was treated to a present first thing. It was something that I had wanted but didn't think I would get! Cirdan bought me a new camera. So fun!!!
My mom came over and we headed down to Kent Station to celebrate with some of my friends from my ward. My neighbor who is also in my ward has the same exact birthday so we made it a double birthday party.
My friend Sandy made me a cake like she usually does and brought me some Starbucks. My tummy was still feeling icky but the cake still tasted great!!
Cirdan took me out to Red Robin that night. He wanted something fancier but it was my birthday and I just wanted salad and fries.
Playing around with my new camera taking pictures...
When we got home the kids were excited for cake. I took this picture because it must have been a stripe day. I dressed all the kids in stripes (excluding Kaiya...but she did it as well!)
This first picture makes me laugh. Something happened that was super funny.
The big 29!!!! :)
Mom, Dad and Nate came over for cake. Amy and the kids were in Utah.
One of these days my mom will learn to smile...because I post pics of her...smiling or not...
Nate has been doing the insanity workout and has lost a bunch of weight! He looks great!
My new camera!
Since Amy was gone Nate made me a card. It was one of the best gifts I have ever received from him. I love all the colors on the front of the card. Inside he taped the $20 I had given him the week or so before for his birthday. He one upped me and actually found 33 cents (I turned 33), all with the year 1979 on them! So creative!!!!!!!
The card said...
If you had a penny for every year you've been alive. You'd not be making a lot of cents!
Almost brought a tear to my eye. Ha ha
Oh here is a picture of my lunch.
When I got home Ella taped this to the door for me. She is a sweet girl!
