before and after....

Yay, this is what I got for Christmas!!  Its our "get ready room".  With three girls hair to do plus my own there was a lot of running back and forth between our two bathrooms looking for the hair dryer or brush or clips...so now everything is in one room all together.  Yay I am so glad it is done and ready to use. Here are some before and after pics....  I was so excited to get the red rug at Target on black friday sale!!!!

Christmas 2010

Christmas was such a fun time...I can't believe it is already over.  The fun started by going to Temple Square with my parents and Krista.  We even rode TRAX, which my kids loved.  Then the rest of the pics are of Christmas day. 

  Christmas day....

THE FLASH!!!!!

Its Pinewood Derby time!!  

Brandon has waited for this time for practically his whole life.  It finally happened last night!!  He was so excited.  He and Daryl worked fast and furiously for two nights...and mom and Brandon worked hard on painting.  And then it came time to race.  Daryl and I looked at each other when it came time for Brandons first race and just prayed that it would make it down the track!!  Because you really never know and seriously Daryl put the wheels on twenty minutes before we had to leave.  Anyways he WON every single race.  Brandon had the biggest smile on his face the whole night!!  It was so fun to see him so excited!!  Yay Buds and Daryl!!!

 

 Here is a pic of "THE FLASH!!"

Kitty

This is our new Kitty, "Shadow".  He showed up on our doorstep the night we were carving our pumpkins.  We love shadow, she is such a good and adoreable little kitten.  We also have another kitty named Crush that sleeps with Shadow and eats our food, but it is pretty wild and doesn't like to be caught or snuggled or played with.  The kids love the kitty's so I am glad that we have them.  :)

Poor kitty, actually, but Ellee loves to play with it...sometimes she loves it too much.  But Shadow is pretty patient with her.  :)  Ellee couldn't figure out why Shadow would keep jumping out of her stroller???  So funny.

AWESOME SOCCER!!

Bree had such a fun soccer season.  Her team took second place in the state for U-10.  Darn we thought it was going to be first but just barely missed it.  Her team had scored the most goals and just did awesome.  This was her last game which determined second and third place .... yay they won!!   It was in Sandy under the lights.  We just love soccer.  GO HER-iCANES!!!!!!

halloween 2010

We had a super fun halloween.  These are just a few of the pics.  Silly kids and I actually dressed up for the first time since I was in college.  WOOOOOO!!!  We spent this halloween up in Bear Lake.  It was fun to be with cousins.  However I forgot Ellees costume, but we kinda pulled off a princess costume..since that is the only thing she would agree to. 

 Bree in her freaky glasses and teeth!!!

 This is the exact time that we found our sweet little pure black kitten on our doorstep, right as we were taking these pumpkins out

SCHOOL TIME AGAIN!!!!

I can't believe that school time is already here!!  :(  I am half excited half not excited.  So nice to get back on a schedule, but so sad that I don't get to see my kids ALL day! Lexi is so excited to be starting Kindergarten.  She seems so little to me, but she seems to fit in just fine in her class.  My kids all like their teachers and are all excited to be back at school...we'll see how long that lasts.
