School Christmas Concert

Yesterday was Austin and Aubreys School Christmas program. These programs are always so cute. I love that my kids love music and love singing and performing. They are so enthusiastic when it comes to performing!

Aubrey was a little bell ringer for one of their songs, and she was so cute!

There are so many kids it was like those where's Waldo books trying to find my kids!

It was a cute program!

Pinocchio Play

This last weekend, Austin and Aubrey were in the EAC Lee Little Production of Pinocchio.

They love doing these plays!! Austin Especially!

Austin was a Street Urchin/Donkey.

He was so funny! When he said his line, everyone laughed. He just loves being on stage and performing!

Aubrey was one of the toys in Gypettos workshop. She was a Rag Doll. She had a speaking part this time also, which she was exited about.

I made austins costume and Cami helped me make Aubreys costume. I cut ans she sewed! Thank you sooo much cami! I never would have attempted it without you!!

The play was super cute and the kids did awesome!!! If I can figure out how to put video on here, I'll put the video of them saying their parts.

Good Job Austin & Aubrey!

Thanksgiving in Disneyland

So Last year we started a tradition of going to Disneyland for thanksgiving since we had so much fun last year!! So we spent Thanksgiving day in Disneyland. We started saving our money about six months ago so we could go. It was soooo much fun! Hailey was a little bit older this year and she absolutely LOVED it!!! Her favorite ride was Winnie the Pooh. and Peter Pan.

We rode everything a couple times. It's nice to have the 3-day hoppper pass. It gives you just enough time to get to do everything you want. Aubrey's favorite ride was splash mountain and she rode it at leat five times!

Last year that ride freaked austin out and he said that he didn't want to ride it, it wasn't even an option for him. And that was fine.

But I think after seeing aubrey ride it so many times, on our last night in disneyland he rode it!!! I was so proud of him. We didn't even push him to ride it.

But his favorite ride is Buzz lightyear. Its actually one of all of our favorite rides!

We had so much fun and its a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. Its decorated amazing for Christmas and the Christmas parade they have is Awesome!!!

I LOVE Disneyland!!!!!!

There were so many more pictures but I just wanted to share a few!

I am already looking foward to next year and we have already started saving our money!! When you save for a whole year, its pretty easy to afford.

Hope you all had a wonderfull thanksgiving!!!

This last weekend My parents paid for all our our family to go on the Polar Express. My kids LOVED it!! They absolutly love the move so they were exited to go on the "REAL" Polar Express. While we were waiting by the tracks and the train pulled up, Austin was going crazy. He was yelling "Thats awesome, oh my goodness AWESOME!!"

They gave everyone hot cholcolate and cookies, We rode to the north pole, sung christmas Carols, and of Ccourse Santa came and gave all the kids a Bell! Austin and Aubrey just loved every minute of it.

The next morning Aubrey asked me

"Mom is this really real?, did we really go on the polar express last night?'

She had so much fun she thought it was a dream!!!

We had a really good time with the Family. All of us siblings exept Emily was there.

Poor little Hailey wasn't feeling good the whole weekend. She was tired alot but she still enjoyed it also!

Thank You SOOO much Mom and Dad!!! we had a GREAT time!

My little Scarecrow

last week at school, Aubrey had a Harvest Party and they got to dress up like scarecrows. I thought she made a cute little scarecrow!!

Halloween/sickie

austin was a ninja turtlemy little witchThis was our decorated "TRUNK" for the ward trunk or treat. We had the fog machine going to. I thought it looked pretty good. The picture doesn't do it justice!our poor litttle sick witch!

So Halloween was different than usual for us. at about 3pm aubrey started complaining of her stomach hurting. She didn't want to tell us how bad because she REALLY wanted to go trick or treating. it kept getting worse. thats why in her pictures she doesn't look to well. we went to the church at about 5:30 to set up our decor. She just kinda sat there not really doing much. Matt was getting ready to take the kids around and she threw up!. so matt just sat with her for about 30 min and she said she just wanted to go home. So MAtt took her and Hailey home since Hailey was running everywhere and I was passsing out candy. There were just to many people and I couldn't keep track of her. So austin just went from car to car on his own and played the games FOREVER! he didn't mind at all. He even went around and got candy for aubrey since she didn't get to.

So poor little Aubrey threw up ALL night. it was probably every 10-15 min until about 4 am. Poor little girl, she is so good to. we actually get lucky that our kids are really good when they are sick. But then all day sunday she was fine, tired , but she felt good. I am wondering if she ate somethig bad. none of us have gotten it, so very lucky for us!

Hope you All had a fun Halloween!!!

Apple Annie's Pumpkin Patch

The kids got to make jump ropes

playing in the corn seeds

The hay ride to the pumpkins

the perfect pumpkinsHailey was just grumpy and tired by the end of the day

This lat saturday we took the kids to Apple Annies apple orchard and pumpkin patch in Wilcox. We had never been before and though we would go. It was alot of fun. we went to the apple orchard first. they sold homemade ice cream, had a little craft shop and bakery type thing. The kids also made jump ropes.

Then we headed to the pumpkin patch. They had a corn maze there also but we decided not to do that just because we had been out for most the day already. So we rode the tractor hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and the kids picked their pumpkins. The pumpkins were a bit pricy so they picked out little ones and we bought our carving pumpkins at safeway! Hailey called hers her baby pumpkin!

We had alot of fun and I think we are going to make it a tradition to go every year!
