Planetarium

Ya know how cousins seem to multiply exponentially when they get together (like 4+4=12)? Throw in half a dozen neighbor kids and you have a recipe for serious hyperactivity. We had a great time at the Planetarium and then ate lunch at McDonalds. The moms tried to shop afterwards, but you can probably imagine how successful that was. We had lots of fun!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

American Girl doll: $90. Seeing that look on Celeste's face: Priceless! Christmas Eve pajamas, Christmas Eve bath in Mom & Dad's big tub (it's a tradition) & getting ready to go to Grandma's. Oh, and the pre-tree decorating ornaments from Hallmark. We had a wonderful Christmas and are very grateful for our many, many blessings. Oh, and can anyone tell me how to put captions on photos? It seems that I'm not able to figure that one out...

Red Bull Christmas Party 08

Red Bull always goes all out for the Christmas Party. After Santa gave each girl a Webkinz and Logan a dump truck the kids got to dance and Celeste won the hula hoop contest. What a fun night! And thanks, Janel, for the pictures since I can't seem to remember mine!

Happy Halloween

We taught Logan to say "Arrrrrrgh"--it's very cute. Dorothy (aka Allison) was mad that we couldn't find her any ruby slippers in a wide size, but recovered nicely when her feet were comfortable. Tori did great and loves it when I let her go nuts with the lipstick. Princess Leia thought her wig looked weird. And it did. But that's what Halloween is all about, yes?

Another year older and wiser too!

Pukey Fall Break

Why do my kids like to vomit during vacations? I don't know but I'm tempted to not take another "vacation" for the rest of my life. Okay, I'm being dramatic. Saturday morning Celeste & Tori both woke up saying they didn't feel good. Half hour later I'm cleaning up puke and realize I'm not feeling well either. My sis and her husband had it too. And it wasn't something we ate because my husband and two youngest kids were fine--we all ate the same stuff.

But Uncle Jay had invited everyone to go horseback riding so the girls put on very brave faces and had a good time. Then we went to Aunt Jen's, sat our sorry butts on the couch and watched chick flicks all day. What a waste of a beautiful St. George day!
