Disney Fun

Okay, Okay, I know I haven't blogged in a year but I needed some where to put our cute Disney pics. This trip was so special to us. We got to have Nana and Papa and our best friend cousins the Steels with us. The kids had such a blast. Every one of them cried the day we got home. I guess we'll have to make it a yearly thing.

Big Kid

My baby Wade turned 4 yesterday....Holy Moly!!! I can't even believe it. We love this little guy so much. He makes us all laugh like crazy. He had a week full of birthday fun with a trip to Fat Cats (no pictures, boo), a new car, and an exciting dinner at Chuckarama.

My Sugarplum

It's Nutcracker Week again. Paige loves this so much. She got an extra special little part this year as the tumbling misfit Gingerette. I was so nervous for her but she has done great. She has practiced and worked so hard for these shows and we are so proud of her. Thanks to all of our family and friends who have come to see her and cheer her on.

Another Cabin Trip

With all of the fantastic snow this year we were able to take an extra early cabin trip. This really is one of my very favorite vacations. I love to ski and it is so fun now that Gabe can keep up. There is no tv and hardly any phone reception up there so we are really removed and it is so relaxing.

I have to explain this last picture. My brother is such a trooper! We all rented skis this time so to prevent us from having to pay for an extra day, he skiied and carried all of the skis down to the lodge and then snowshoed the whole way back up to the cabin. I know I cannot explain how far this hike was but just imagine climbing a really tall mountain in a blizzard in the dark. Supposedly it is something he always wanted to do. I just think he was being nice. It was amazing!

Boo!!

Happy Halloween from us. I'm so glad it's over! Ha Ha!

Witches Feast

We took a trip with my mom to Gardner Village for Breakfast with the Witches. They put on such a funny show and the food was delish! The kids had such a fun time.

San Antonio

We went on a little overnight with Dean to San Antonio to see the Alamo. What a cool city!

Birthday Girl

Paige turns 7 today. Crazy! I know I say that on all of their birthdays. Here are some things about Paige...

-She is a good friend and always thinks of others.

-She loves everything that's pretty

-She is so easy going. Half of the time I have no idea where she is because she is so content to just play by herself.

-She loves to tumble and is getting really good.

-She loves to be outside climbing trees, riding bikes, and jumping on the tramp.

We love this girl!

Once again the birthdays get bigger and bigger. She got a new bike and a Lainey doll (from her Nana). She loves them both!

Limbo Rock!

We celebrated Paige's birthday Saturday (a week early) with an exciting LUAU. She invited all of her best little friends to come Hula with her. I seriously lucked out by having an awesome mom who knows awesome people. She had some friends of her come, Sati, Mapu, and Tupu, who recently moved here from Hawaii to make flower clips with the girls and teach them how to dance. It was such a great party. You've never seen so many eyes light up when Mapu and Tupu performed for them. We finished off the party with a yummy lunch, a hula hoop and limbo contest, and sand art. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

School Days

First day of the first and third grade! They were bouncing off the walls with excitement, I was not. They are growing up way too fast. They looked pretty dang good though!
