Huge Day for Missy

December 23, 2009
Missy finally convinced me to let her get her ears pierced. I caved after a month of her and Sister begging me to let her. So, here she is. Sweet thing... she didnt even cry!!!


She immediately asked for Mac and Cheese for dinner! hahaha She got what she wanted. ;) Sweet thing!

Opening Presents

December 20, 2009
We opened presents with Gramma and Papa before we went to church.






We really loved having them here, and cant wait to see them again sometime really soon!!!

Papa K and Gramma B's Visit!

December 19, 2009
We were soooo ecstatic to have Papa and Gramma come and visit us on the 18th (we didnt take any pictures that first night)! We havent seen them in what seems like forever, and it was so great to have them here!! The kids enjoyed hanging out with them. Sister made mustaches for everyone...




I love that Gramma B was trying to duck out of this picture, but ended up in it anyway! haha



Then Cman made some snowflakes.

After we ate and did the mustaches and snowflakes, we went to see Christmas lights on some popular streets. The first was a flop, but the second was good. I love this time of the year, and I hope everyone else is having a great time!

Cman and Sister's School Christmas Program

December 15, 2009
The same day as Missy's program was Cman and Sister's. Theirs was later in the day, so I was able to join Enrique in going. And, even Gramma K came with us! ALL of the kids were overjoyed to have her there. Missy loved playing with her. It was cute.
Funny thing, both of them with their eyes shut... and still both smiling away. haha





I love this kid... he takes it all very seriously.

It takes a lot to get this kid to smile.

And, my Cman was the narrator for his grade. He did a great job!


At the end of the program, all of the kids came in and sang Silent Night. We couldnt see Sister, but we could see Cman... He is a cheeser!


That night Enrique and I went to the temple with a couple of friends. Outside was this beautiful statue on the lawn. I had to document it. Enjoy! Hope your season is going well!

Missy's Preschool Christmas Program

Dec 15, 2009
It was Missy's program at preschool, and I didnt get to go to it! I was so sad. But, Enrique went to support Missy. (He is such a great daddy and hubby!!!) Anyway, the kids really didnt sing at all, but, Missy is cute anyway.


Enough Snow!!!

December 12, 2009
The kids were TOTALLY excited that we finally got enough snow to make a snowman! Sister did most of it, but it was so cute. Here are a couple pictures that Enrique took for me.

Computer Down

December 6, 2009
I have the WORST luck with electronics for some reason. I have gone through a couple laptops, hard drives, and cords for my laptops, cell phones... something happens to all of them, and we are never sure what, but whatever it is, it always stops working on me! hahaha
One night, Enrique and I were sitting and I was on my laptop as he was on his, and my power cord just stopped working. So we started moving it around in order to see if we could fix it. Well, Enrique found a "spot" where it worked, so he thought that he knew what it was. He got to work, and opened it up to do some artery work on it. He ended up fixing it, and it is now duct taped (it fixes everything, seriously!!!) and not out in the open, but I had to take a picture of what it looked like. Enrique was ready to leave it out like this, but I told him it was dangerous, and after a couple other people saying it as well, he then closed it up. But, thank goodness he knows how to do things! What would I do without him??? hehehe

Ward Christmas Party

December 4, 2009
This year I was asked to take pictures of the children with Santa. I was thrilled, and they all turned out so well! Here are the ones of our family.



I was so sad that Sister was the ONLY child with their eyes closed! haha It would be one of my own. ;)

I am looking forward to the next month! Christmas is on its way!

Sleeping Fort

December 3 2009
Sister and Missy have been creeping into bed with each other... one of the nights they made a fort to to sleep in. We had no idea about it until I walked in to their room to check on them. hahaha I just had to get a picture of it!

And here are my sleeping angels. ;)

Silly little critters.

Recital Time!

I love my girls and their dancing. They are so cute, and Missy was really excited to get out on the stage. It was so cute. :) Here are some pictures of right before the performances.






They did very well! I was so proud of both Sister and Missy. Missy even made a mistake of going the wrong way at the end of the show, and it was quite funny. hehe
I really need to find the plug for the camcorder so I can get videos on here. *sigh*
It was really a great night. :)

Picture Time Take 2...

So, here we are, again, trying to take pictures. It was fun, and these ones turned out great! YAY!

















I now feel like I have enough to choose from for the Christmas pictures. I love these. Hope everyone is well!

Family Picture Time

November 22 2009
I have been SO excited to get these up, but I didnt want to spoil the Christmas cards... some of you have now gotten them, and some have not, but oh well. I need to get this updated! hehe











We had fun, although we wanted them taking at a Temple, but that didnt happen. OH well, maybe next time! :)

Hockey+Family+Good Friends=Great Combo!

We decided to go to a Hockey game one night (they had $5 tickets, what can I say?) and we took some friends with us. Saddest thing was, Missy was sick, so she couldnt go, but we took another "family member" with us in her place.
Sister having had WAAAAY too much cotton candy.


Half of the group

Brecky trying to get the ice cream off of her lip...

Enrique and Brecky enjoying themselves.

And Enrique and I...

Mike and Angie...

And, a little sad occurrence. We all got ice cream, but poor Angie couldnt have any... she was so sad, and I just had to take a picture of her misery! hehe

It was a blast, and we will be doing it again!

New Moon Opening Night

I am not normally one to wait up to go see a movie at a midnight showing, but after reading the Twilight Saga, and my good friend offering me a ticket to go with her, I decided why the heck not!! So, I went... and here was my picture time with Edward. ;)

It was a fun night, and one I am not likely to forget! Thanks so much to my friend... she could have asked anyone to go with her, and I am flattered that she asked me!

New Babies!

We have been blessed in my family. Two of my sister in laws have had a baby, and I have gotten to spend time with them each. First was baby A, although, these pictures were taken a bit after her birth because I didnt have my camera with me when I got to go see her in the hospital.
She was fast asleep with Sister...

But then by Enrique she started opening her eyes.

Then Missy got some wide eyes.

And with Cman she looked like she was laughing.

She was really looking at me and I was loving every minute of holding her!

Sweet baby!


And then was baby C. Enrique and I took the kiddos on a short trip to Papa G and Gramma K's and were able to go see him and his parents, but we kept the kiddos away because of germs and the swine flu. Enrique and I went up that night! I was so excited!! haha

Then the next morning I went and hung out with my sister in law to help her for a bit while my brother went to give a lesson at church. I was MORE than happy to offer coming up to "help", and I really hope I wasnt more a bother than a help. Here are a come pictures...

Baby C getting lovin from his older brother E. SOOO cute! hehe

E and I played the sleeping game... he is so stinkin' cute!

Look at those baby blues!!

I love my new nephew and niece! How blessed am I!!!

The Sweetest Thing(s)!

I have 3 kids who are the best in the world. They created a special party just for me! :)
Here was the inside of the invite that was delivered by Sister.

And here was the inside of the invite. It was totally cute! hehe

This was what we saw when we were heading down the stairs.

We then had to sign in when we got downstairs! haha I guess they wanted it documented! :- p Silly kiddos!
We first did a walking race. We started downstairs at the back door in the fun room, walked in the hall, through the study, in the hall, up the stairs, into the kitchen, touched the back door to the deck, turned around and went back. First one back won. The prize was whatever we wanted from their trick-or-treating stash.

Then we played the quiet game.

Sitting quietly... that is a first! hehe

Ok, this is more like it! haha

Love the face on Sister!

Trying to get each other to laugh. Whoever could stay silent for a minute won a treat! ;)

Next was a scavenger hunt. We had to find some pieces of paper that had a clue on it, and we had to guess what it was. We wrote our guess down on the paper, and then gave it to Sister. When all the papers were collected, then she read them off and said if the answer was right or wrong. Whoever had the most right won... once again a treat for the winner.

Playing the whisper game...

Then we did M&M/Skittle art. Cman was the judge and I won. Here is a picture of mine. It is dirt, a flower, and a butterfly flying overhead. And then I got ANOTHER treat.

Then we played Candy Hockey. We had 3 peices to go through the "goal posts" and whoever got 2 in won a treat.

What a great time! My kids know how to put on a party!
