1st time with Santa

It was baby's first time seeing Santa. "Get me out of here mommy!" It was so sad and cute at the same time. It was my family's Christmas Party and Santa always seems to show up with gifts for all the kids. We had so much fun! The boys love to play with their cousins and its nice to catch up with my cousins. This is our extended family on my Dad's side. My Dad wasn't able to make it this year. He had his second cancer treatment this week and was so sick on Saturday. I felt so bad. But we made the best of it enjoyed being together. Sorry baby....I hope you will grow to love Santa someday!

The "little" Polar Express

Our friends do this miniature Polar Express every year. This is the third year we have been invited. My kids love it so much! This is now a tradition in our family each year. We get to go and watch the movie "Polar Express" on a big screen in their barn and then we get on their mini train and ride to the North Pole. There we get off and go see Santa in his workshop. After we load back on the train and ride back listening about the real meaning of Christmas. It is amazing! It truly gets us into the Christmas spirit.

"Singing" at the Mall

So big brother is in the choir at school. They got to perform at the Mall today! It was so much fun to go and watch him. He did such a good job. He has an amazing voice......go figure. My mom got to come and watch and she said it reminded her of when she would come to watch us when we were little....ha ha. Daddy was in town and was there too! Yeah!

Twilight Movie

Yeah! Loved it! My sis and I got to go to the Premier of Twilight last night. It was so much fun. Thanks to our good friend Mel who reserved two theaters and sold out both, we were able to see it at 7pm. After an extension security check we finally got in our seats....so much drama just for a movie? But it was worth it. We met a bunch of my good friends from the neighborhood and almost knew just about everyone in the theater. It was wild and crazy! Just think of hundreds of moms and teenagers "screaming" when they first showed Edward on the screen.....i was one of them! It was great. I am ready to go see it again if anyone is up for it....ha ha really though. Just for the record...this is the first post I have done so soon after the event...Wow!

Baby's Crawling......

My Family

This is my Family. These pics were taken in September. Just getting around to getting them posted. They are so cute....just love them all!

the sisters.....best friends! My mom and dad....they are so cute. Ok the big Family shot we had to put on auto so this is amazing that most everyone is looking since no one is behind the camera!!

Halloween Photo Shoot

Another amazing photo shoot. This is my kids Halloween costumes for this year. Don't they look great! I did a mini shoot with Lauriann and the pixs turned out perfect. This was baby's nine month pixs....."don't mess with me or you will have to deal with my brothers!" Oh and the little cheer outfit was borrowed from a friend that had her mother make it for her baby like 8 years ago. Funny huh! It fit her perfect! I mean I have to start baby now....it is inevitable that she will be a cheerleader. Go Vikings!

Welcome Home Daddy!

Daddy has been gone a lot lately.....like 23 days straight! Ok he came home for 24 hours in that time, but that doesn't count. It has been really hard on our little family. REALLY hard! We had him home for 5 days now...WOW! We spent time just playing with the kids and I got ONE date in. There is so much to do and so little time. Oh well....we made the best of it. He leaves again tomorrow and we will miss him terribly! The kids love to have him play football with them when he comes in town. I had so much fun just watching and taking pics. They just love their Daddy! He is such a great daddy and the boyz just adore him. Even baby got some quality daddy time.....say ahhhhhhh! Good Luck on your next trip...you will be missed. Love us

Night up the Canyon

So Emily and I decided to take the kids up the Canyon. It was so much fun and perfect timing to see the leaves change. We roasted hot dogs and made smores. The kids had a blast! It was good for the mommy's to get away too.

3rd Place Football Throw

Wow...that is so cool! Big brother was in a Football competition today and took 3rd in the throwing contest. All the kids in his age division had to see how far they could throw the football.....and he was the third farthest out of the whole group. Great job buddy! I wasn't there to see it, but he came home with his trophy.....so excited to show me. Wanted to call daddy right away. So if your out there..."Daddy, look at my trophy, isn't it so awesome!!"

PG Vikings Football

We love going to the PG High Football games. My boyz just love running around playing football on the hill and going to the snack shop. I love showing off little missy in her cheerleading outfit! She is in training you know. I have all the high school girls stopping me and saying how cute my baby is. Well I know that! My cute mother-in-law comes and helps me out with the kids and she loves watching the game too. So we make it to the half time show, which is my favorite part, to watch Jacky dance and Bronte cheer! They are so good and I love watching them perform. But we are also there to support our Harding Boyz...they are great football players. My boyz want to be #3 and #32 now. Ha Ha
