Christmas!

New Pics

Well, I was going to put the pics in this post and the resolution would be better, but you can kinda get the jist from the background. My sister in law was nice enough to take pictures of us the other day. If S had been a little happier we'd have a BUNCH of good ones. These were the best ones.

Rock Star Party

P wanted a Rock Star party for her birthday this year so I looked up online what to do and I got so excited! I went to town making invites and planning the activities. Along with the invites I sent out VIP passes with P's picture on it to wear around their necks to get in the door. B was going to be the bouncer and check them off a list, but he didn't make it home in time. We also put on the invites that their was going to be an "air band" concert at the very end for the parents. We got some cardboard boxes and cut out guitars for the kids to decorate as they arrived. B and I DJ'd the Valentine's dance for our other ward so we took the speakers out back and had some fun dance games and songs: chicken dance, musical stars, conga, limbo, line dancing, etc. I started making the disco ball pinata the day before, not knowing you're supposed to start like 4 days before so it was still drying as I was putting the silver on it and I was doing that as people were arriving. I had B figure out how to string it up while I was doing the party. We put curtains up, along with the disco ball, some Christmas lights, and a strobe light (that we usually use for Halloween,) to make the back look like a stage. After the concert they got to hit the pinata. I was very nervous for it falling apart, but I must have done a good job, because nobody could break it. B ended up just dumping it out. We didn't get very good pics or video because the battery was dying, sorry. Overall I think it went very well and P had the best party ever!!

Halloween

I LOVE Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays of the year...........

......But when the fun's all done, and the sucker's been stuck in the hair three times that day, we're definitely glad it's over.

Happy Halloween!

Pajama Party!

The girls wanted a sleepover and since they're too young and probably will NEVER be allowed to have a sleepover, I said they could have a pajama party where everyone goes home before bed. They painted fingernails, used fabric scraps to tie their flip flops and their hair, and had popcorn and pizza to watch a movie (that they never really ended up watching.) Seven little girls pretty much just ran around screaming and laughing the whole time. (VERY glad they didn't stay the night.) I didn't get a pic of everyone, I didn't remember to take pics til after they left.

This is what the curled hair looked like after 2 days.

CATCH UP

These are all going in backward order. I didn't want to take the time to rearrange them.

#1--S's 1ST BIRTHDAY!
Yes, she is getting so big!

#2--10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN SAN DIEGO!

Dropped the kids off in Yuma with Grandma and Grandpa and went for the weekend. Did some boogie boarding and deep sea fishing.

#3--GRANDMA AND AUNT J COME TO VISIT!

#4-- P'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

For some reason she thinks its cool for the one strap over. Yes, she is in a uniform again at a new school, minus the flip flops.

#5--MAMMOTH CAVE IN CEDAR CITY!

Decided to go for a drive and this is where we ended up.

#6--AUNT R AND UNCLE T COME TO VISIT!

Went skim boarding and swimming at the river, and went to church at the old church in Pine Valley. It was lots of fun seeing the boys!
