Christmas Parade!

Last Saturday December 3rd

My little family and Suzie's family
and Marci's family
went with my Mom to
downtown Provo for a Christmas Parade.




It was SOOOO cold! We found a spot and
shortly after the parade started but
all that was coming were golf carts
throwing out candy for the kids.

After about 30 mins of golf carts I decided that
it was time to pack up my babies and go to my Moms house
to wait for the parade to be done.

After the parade was over we had pizza and
ice cream at my Moms house with everyone.

Honestly the parade was pretty lame but the
company was AWESOME so it made up for it :)

Gingerbread fest '11 :0)

Today we did our annual
gingerbread house making!
Jenna and I did the baking of the
houses yesterday at her house
and then took the houses
to Dawns to decorate them.


The kids had so much fun!
But they also had a lot of fun playing outside with
Clay and Madeline's dogs.
I'm still not sure which one they had more fun doing :)


This year was Owen and Ashley's first year
to do their own houses
and both of them had fun but Ashley got
into it more than Owen.





And of course Jenna and I
had to out Lacey and Livvy in
matching outfits :)





I am definitely worn out but it
is all worth it in the end.
Seeing our kids cute faces and knowing
we are making great memories with them!

Happy 6 month birthday Livvy!

I took Livvy to the doctor today and here are her stats

but she is super busy!
The doctor complimented Livvy today and said that
she developmentally and motor skills wise is at

She is our little smarty and mover!

• Wears size 1-2 diapers
• Mostly 3-6 month clothes but still quite a few 0-3 month clothes
• She does this cute little cough/laugh when she is happy
• She loves to eat her feet and hands all the time!
• Is a pro at getting anything she wants to her mouth.
• She has tried her first biter biscuit and she LOVES it!

• She loves people!

HAPPY 6 MONTH OLD BIRTHDAY LIVVY!!!

Happy Halloween!

Owen had an interesting Halloween this year...
I wasn't sure if I could even get him to wear a costume but as the pictures will testify he did actually wear a costume! I told him it was a cow jacket and that made him really want to wear it!

Before we went trick or treating Owen treated me and Livvy with singing us some primary songs! It was so stinking cute!
His current favorite primary songs to sing are
I am like a star
and
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

After some songs we got in the car
and headed to trick or treat with Jenna and her kids.

The first house we went to they weren't home but
had suckers out in a dish and some halloween lights
and Owen kept saying "I'm ok, I'm ok" over and over again.

Then the next house we went to the guy had a scary mask on and Owen
started bawling and saying "I'm ok, I'm ok, it's scary, I'm ok, I'm ok"
He kept crying and saying "I'm ok" for like 10 minutes, then he realized that he was getting candy and decided he liked trick or treating :)

Cornbelly fun!

We had so much fun at Cornbellys!
We went with some friends from the
ward and Owen had a blast!



He loved the cow train, the bounce houses, the slides,
the jumping pillows, but I think his favorite was the huge hay slides!





Thanks Hailey and Veronica for inviting us!
