Dear John

If you haven't seen Dear John go and see it. It isn't just a chic flick so take your guy. It is such a sweet story and I loved the music. I for sure need to go and out and buy it. Check out the clip on my blog. Isn't Tatum Channing to die for, move over Edward.

I heart Valentines

I have always had a thing for hearts. So of course I love decorating a little for Valentines. Here are some of my favorites.

More Christmas Magic

Christmas Miracles in action

Avery showing Dyson how its done.

Ready , set, go!!

Avery Jo soaked in all of the Christmas magic insiting we leave Santa some chocolate milk. She wouldn't drink it all week so we had enough for Santa. Avery got her swimming puppy and her Dora Kitchen. She is so cute, there has been a ton of sad pet commercials on tv for abused animals. She said she no longer wants her swimming puppy she wants a sick puppy on tv so she can take care of it and give it a shot to make it better. What a sweetheart.

Christmas Eve after loading up at grandma and grandpas next door. We had to hall it home in the car. My mom quilted them the cutes quilts, gave them pajama bottoms, barbie clothes , cases and more..

Crew can see better now he has is potato head glasses on

Christmas Day

Grandpa Dan started our morning off with the best brunch. He is such a great cook. We had prime rib, potatoes, huge mango-ham-cheese omlet, dips and all. We had a fun time learning the latest dance steps from DRich soon to be posted. My dad is so cute to the girls, he was brave and took all three of them up to Fashion Place Mall to go and build a bear and then dinner at Cheesecake Factory. How many grandpas do this for three little girls? He also stopped by Justice and got them an outfit where they know him by name as well as my kids. Hopefully Zoey will have a job with Justice when she is old enough, she is their poster child.

The girls both got Dsi's and what a quiet morning it was. I asked the girls what they were playing and they said were just chatting via DS as they sit right next to each other.

I love love my tree, I add a little bit of us to it every year. It is a boyds bear tree I started abouty 12 years ago, then added a "believe theme to it, then yearly photos of the girls since I'm photo obsessed, and this year I added a little eifel tower it seems to be my signature these days, and a few Hello Kitty ornaments. The girls add to it with the latest grade school activity, I love it.

Zoey taking over the 2 year olds toys. She is the biggest kid around.

Where's my Dora Kitchen I just told you I wanted....

My cute family and me with my new dark hair. What do you think. I'm still not sure but trying to accept that my hair is really dark and I need to go with it.

So after Avery told Santa what she wanted he pulled out a bag of candy and hat and gloves. Well that isn't what she had just told him she wanted so she was mad. She went and hid under the table in another room, threw her gloves and hat telling Santa they were stupid and too big and it wasn't a Dora Kitchen or a swimming puppy. She doesnt get the concept yet I guess but it was funny. Later that day I drove her through a big puddle of water in the road and she replied " mom that totally freakin my heck out" she makes me laugh.

Cute Dyson not sure of Santa without Derrek.

Richards christmas Party

Avery is Santa's best bud, She jumps right up on his lap and tells him she wants a Dora Kitchen and a swimming puppy. She hasn't wavered in her wants always consistant. Whe kept going up to him reminding him what she wants.

Santa For Rent...

How is this for creativity. Zoey came down stairs as santa. She cut up paper for buttons and safety pinned them on her shirt. Got a dish towell and safety pinned that to the hat. And as you can plainly see put a ball in her belly. Oh and don't forget the silver belt under that beard. Creative or sad, i don't know

Naarjie wants Avery Jo!!!

I entered the girls in a model search for Naarjie about 5 months ago. I got a call today and they want Avery for their catalogue. She also won Utah Valley Cutest Cutie last spring in her age group. She is such a doll and the best is her funny personality. She keeps me smiling that is for sure.

Merry Christmas!!!
