Our Little Rudolph...

Our Snowman....

Morgan was so excited when we finally got some snow, she REALLY wanted to build a snowman, but the snow was not cooperating with us, it was just not sticky enough. So on Saturday when Greg told her the snow was perfect for a snowman, she ran down and got all her gear , called her friend Damaira, and headed out! Greg went out and helped her build "our very best snowman ever" according to Morgan. I am really glad I got some pictures of it, because that night it was destroyed by some nieghborhood kids:( Greg heard some noise around midnight, and when he looked out he saw some boys out there, they had knocked the snowman over and were carrying the pieces into the middle of the street, where they were attempting to rebuild it. When Greg turned on the porch light they ran off. The worst part is that they lost some of the pieces to my snowman kit.....

Visit With Santa...

We always take the kids to see Santa at Provo Towne Center, always on Sunday because there is usually no one there, and we have NEVER had to wait more than 5 min. This year when we got there, there was a line, not a long one mind you, but every single group in front of us was having Kiddie Kandids take pictures. My kids are not patient, they kept asking when is it our turn, but they were actually pretty good, they were just soooo excited!! We had to wait for about 30 min, for our 2 minutes. Jordan asked Santa for "All the Nerf Guns" and Morgan told us she was going to ask for a REAL laptop, when Greg told her that Santa probably wasn't going to give a laptop to an eight year old she said "Fine then I'll ask for a Nintendo DS. And she did. When Santa asked her what she wanted, she said "I want a laptop and a DS." Santa laughed, and said "Well, this girl sure knows what she wants!" Greg and I thought it was pretty funny....

Snow Fun...

My kids were soooo excited when they looked outside this morning!! They were up and putting on their snow gear before Greg and I were even out of bed. Jordan did not last too long, he played for a few minutes, then came in saying it was way too cold out there, and could he just have some hot cocoa. So, no pictures of him all bundled up. Morgan on the other hand would stay out there all day if we would let her I think. She was making snow angels in the drive way and was not too happy when Greg came out to shovel. But no worries, she just moved over to the grass....

Decorating The Tree...

We always decorate the house the day after Thanksgiving. This year it took a little longer, we got everything out on Friday, but it took all weekend to get the tree up and the lights up outside, and we still have not put the village or the train up, hopefully we will get to it soon. The kids did not realy seem too interested in helping, until it was time to put the ornaments on the tree, then they turned on some music (Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas) and set to work....

This is Mylee...

She is Jordans first crush!! She is in his pre-school class and he thinks she is the most beautiful girl in the class. He alays says she is soooo pretty! I think he was first attracted to her name (because we all know how much he loves Miley Cyrus) but now he talks avout her all the time, how he wants her to be his girl friend, how he wants to marry her when he gets big, how he is going to kiss her on the lips at recess. He picked a flower for her one day and took it to class, but when he tried to give it to her she said "You can have it." I thought he was going to be upset, but he just came over and told me what she had said, then told me he would just give it to his teacher because she would love it. But that did not seem to affect the way he feels about her, he still loves Mylee and talks about her all the time. I went on a field trip with them to the pumpkin patch and they played together the whole time, and I was able to get a few pictures. Although in the first one Jordan was a little embarassed...

Our Pirate Family....

Pumpkin Patch...

We took the kids to Pumpkin Land at Vineyard Gardens on Saturday to pick out pumpkins. Greg always has to get one too, and his is usually the biggest one he can find, but it has to be shaped just right so he can carve "something really cool." This year Morgan decided she wanted a great big pumpkin too....which of course led to Jordan wanting a huge one also. I told them that they would have to gut them by themselves, so while Greg was looking at pattern books, they found some transfer faces that glow in the dark, so no gutting of the pumpkins at our house, except for Greg....

Miley Cyrus Concert...

For Morgans Birthday present we got her tickets to the Miley concert. We went with my sister and my niece who also had a birthday in September. I know some of you out there don't care for Miley or her music, but my kids LOVE her! They know the words to most of her songs, Jordan always asks to listen to her in the car, and he sings along too. Sometimes I wonder if he likes her more than Morgan. I thought about taking him to the concert, but Greg said no way, and took him to have "boy time" (they went and played laser tag with my nephew.) And I have to admit that I even have a few of her songs on my I-pod.
We had a really fun time, we went to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory before the concert :) We got there way early so we were able to get some pictures, cotton candy,dippin dots, and a drink, we were all set...









Morgan thought it was way too loud, she kept asking me why every one was screaming. Don't get me wrong, she was singing along and having fun but she was covering her ears a whole lot....



I was not allowed to bring my camera with the big zoom, so I had my point and shoot. Here are some of the picI was not allowed tures I got, not too bad concidering how dark it was and how far away we were (yes, we were definetly in the cheap seats, but hey, we had fun)...
