First snowfall!

The first big snowstorm hit!! My kids couldn't wait to get out there and play! Kaydee said "i'll make sure I don't eat the yellow snow k mom?" so cute. Haidyn still wanted to mow the lawn (I hope he still wants to do that when hes older!) I love watching their faces light up when they roll around in it. I remeber how much I used to love the snow. Some how the older I get the less fond I've become of it. I guess you don't relize all the work that goes into dressing three kids then an hour later stiripping off layers of clothes and trying to get those pink faces and hands warm. What fun for them. Now time for some hot chocolate (if i only had Kristy's cocoa maker haha)

Christmas dance recital

My girls have had their first dance recital, We had the oppurtunity to watch them perform at the Christmas gift show at the expo center. I was so amazed at how well they did in front of the crowd even being a little nervous! I was worried how they would do because i asked Taylor over and over to show me and she was reluctant to practice in front of me. Mckaydee has always had a nack for free style and I was worried Taylors rythum would be a little off but, she NAIELD it front and center. All the other girls were following her lead. She had a smile on her face the entire time! How proud I am of them. I was tickled pink. Kaydee was funny after her dance she admitted to me she was nervous infront of all those people but she overcame her fear and danced her little heart out! We are changing Dance studios in January to give the girls a little more challenging routines. They will be starting at Center Stage where many dancers from Dancing with the stars has danced! (including Marie Osmond!) Im excited to see what this next year will bring!! I love you my little ballerinas!!

Here is Taylor starting it off Kaydee is to the left!!

Birthday boy

Baby Killian has just turned one!! He is such a doll I just wanted to tell him how happy I am that he is in my life. I have been tending him while his mamma works at provo craft. I can proudly say im his second momma. He will go to me over everyone else (if sis is not around!) and I love it. He has helped to curb my baby hunger. he is such a peanut but doesn't let it stop him. He loves the chaous of my house and want to be like the big kids!! I love you lil KK and know you will grow into such a carasmatic and mystivous young man. xoxoxox know that your mom loves you very much and is always there to protect you. She worries that sometimes shes not a good mom (like most of us) but I know your father in Heaven has sent you down to her because she is so attentive and loving to you. Always be a good boy and try not to cause her too much grief. I have a feeling you wil be pretty adventerous as you get older and that just might give her a heart attack. much love myy lil man!

I have been having so much fun making tutus. I have started to sell them and I've called my new little bussiness Precious Additudes! My Taylor was kind enough to model one for me, she is where I got the name because she does have such a precious additude! I hope to make a little extra money and grow bigger so i can do tutu parties! wouldn't that be fun!!

Vader

This is our newes edition to our family!! His name is Vader we inherited him from my sis Kami who couldnt take care of him they way she wanted to! He is a mix of terrior and chiuaua. he was the only fluffy one of the bunch! he is so cute and cuddly he is really quiet and the kids love to haul him around. He is so funny he hops around instead of runs! he will snuggle up in a corner or just put himself in his crate for a nap!! Ella has just taken to him she has been his surrogant mother and watches to make sure he is alright. I love this lil pup!

ok so Halloween totally snuck up on me this year, but never the less it was a blast!! we took the kids to see all the whitches at Gardner Village and it was such a beautiful day! lil monster even got hot!! so I had two Fairy princesses (with out wings! I could not find any to save my life!) Thanks anyway Sis for calling around! and a lil stinker!! he was so cut he would say "pee-ewww I stinky!!" I have always loved Halloween. This year we did the famous hommade chilli and breadsticks and got to visit with are fam. The kids got totally loaded up on sugar wich i guess is expected and came home and crashed!! Tom always had the great responsibility of carving the pumpkins as I am too whimpy and cant get them cleaned all the way! oh well i guess taking picks is a good job too!! I love you sweet babies never loose your sense of adventure!!

Daddy Daughter date!!

Taylor had been telling everyone that she was going to go to Chilli's with Tom for dinner for her birth-day. She has been such a good girl and so helpful that we decided we would suprise her and Tom asked her out on a date! She was so excited Tom had given her a corsauge to make it official! I don't know why she wanted to go to Chilli's so bad, I guess because when me and Tom go for dinner (very rarely) we end up at Chilli's so I guess she thought it was a pretty special place. so cute. She had Tom's outfit picked out and everything, such a girl. She wouldn't let him wear it until the went because it was on reserve!She thought she was the cats meow! Tom let her order anything she wanted and even let her get desert. He said when they brought out her Ice Cream Cake her eyes just got huge! I think It was really special because Tom has been working so much they don't get to spend as much time together. She is such a Daddy's girl and always has been. I can't say she has bad taste in men! LOL . Now Mckaydee's ready for her turn! Guess where she wants to go? I.H.O.P shes so easy to please!! I just love my girls. Happy dates for now, I have a feeling it wont be so easy girls when you get older. Daddy will be hard for the boys to impress!!
