Why Me!

Yes, ALL 3 of my children cried sitting on Santa's lap, the sad thing is that it was their dad.

We were at my Edward Jones Christmas Party and they asked Mike if he would be Santa for the evening. So I thought that I would have my children go up and get their pictures with him. But there wasn't a dry eye, I'll be honest. . . I couldn't stop laughing. I finally ask Mike to tell McKayla that it was him and then she was ok. It was Also McKayla Birthday that day and Dallin's the next so Santa gave them something for sitting on his lap.

Dallin's Birthday

This little boy makes me smile, Dallin turned 1 on December 2nd!

after McKayla's birthday party this little boy was going crazy over the balloons, I went to put the McKayla in the shower to get her cleaned up and Dallin was going to get in next so I was getting him ready. Next thing I know he was gone in the family room playing with his balloons.

McKayla's 3 Birthday Party

McKayla turned 3 years old on the 1 of December, so that Saturday we had a little birthday party with her little friends. Yes even Cinderella came!

She LOVED the new shoes that Aunt Tini bought her and the princess crown that Cinderella gave her.

After 30 min McKayla finally gave her a hug

Katelyn's Birthday

My Katelyn turned 7

Friday, November 13th

Katelyn was so excited that Hanna Montana came to her party
She was so good with the kids and she did everything with the girls.
danced, sang, played games, had cake with them
She was great!

This is where Hanna gave Katelyn her movie.
She's been wanting this since she saw it with her Aunt Kristina

McKayla

I will be honest. . . I really hope she makes it to her next birthday, This week has been a long one and I am at my last rope with her.

She decided to write all over my walls, so this is her cleaning them, but she thinks it's fun!
Who could ever get mad at this little girl? ME

Hopefully this is the last time she does this

Play time

We have been working on my basement the last couple of weeks trying to build it out, well after spending a whole morning I took my kids to Article Circle to go play.
McKayla, Katelyn & Dallin The girls wanted to let Dallin down the slide. . .

Here he comes, don't worry he loved it and did it about a 10 more times.

Happy Halloween

Each year after Halloween I love buying costumes for next year, I had bought this one last year and yes I did wear it, but my mom looked the best and she had a ball wearing it to school.

Can't wait for next year just bought 3 more all under $30 on Disney.com

My cute little Katelyn, she wanted to be a Cheetah Girl from the movie "One World" this is as close as I could get for her. But she loved it, and so did mom it was very cheap this year for her. I'm one that will spend WAY to much for my girls but this year I didn't want to do a lot with our Disney trip just around the corner.

My little nut McKayla being a princess

I couldn't get Dallin to put his head up, I think it was to heavy for him and he hated his costume.

Fat Lip

Tuesday I got home from work and saw that my little girl with a fat lip, I asked her what happen and she told while pointing "Baby did it" I looked over at Dallin and he just had a smile on his face and crawled away.

Poor McKayla

Princess McKayla

Today I let McKayla wear some of Katelyn's Halloween earring and she thought that she was a princess

And yes the princess even sleeps like a princess

Cake

Dallin Loved Grandma & Grandpa's birthday cake, he was covered from top to bottom

Dallin & Gracie

Dallin and Gracie were playing on Sunday morning, and it killed me to see him in side

and I think Gracie was thinking the same thing
After church I was feeding Dallin dinner and he was having fun dropping food on the floor and watching the dogs come and eat it, so I put the two dogs on his chair.
Dallin wasn't to happy when they were done, there was nothing left.
don't worry I cleaned his tray with bleach. . . yes I'm a dork
