December fun!

We've had a lot of fun so far this December. We went to the temple to "see baby Jesus" and then to the Washington City "Christmas in Dixie" for lights, donuts, and hot chocolate:







Our Elf, Fred, up to no good...

We made candy christmas trees:




Went to Breakfast with Santa:

Two-wheeler

About 2 weeks ago Collin decided he would try again to ride his "two wheeler." He got on his bike, I gave him a push, and he was off! He is obsessed with riding his bike now. Every day, all day he wants to ride his bike. Before breakfast, before Preschool, After lunch, in the rain, when it's freezing, ALL THE TIME! I am so glad he loves his bike!

Story Telling Competition

Ashtyn entered the school Story Telling Competition. She did the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs." She is quite the dramatic girl so this is the perfect thing for her to do. You really have to use a lot of animation, voices, and body actions. She came up with it all on her own and did such a great job. Ashtyn took 2nd place in the "Fairy Tale" division. She was competing against 5th graders, so I thought that was super great. We went to the District competition yesterday and she did amazing there, too. I'm not sure when we'll find out the results, but I'm so proud of her reguardless. It takes a lot of guts to get up in front of people and do that. It's really fun watching my kids grow up and develop their talents!








After the District competition we of course had to stop by Swig for a yummy treat!

Fall Soccer *EDITED*

Camden and Collin both played soccer this season. They were both a lot of fun to watch! Camen's coach was Jeff Madsen. He does such a good job teaching them to play so we really loved his team. Collin also surprised me a lot by how aggressive he was and how much he loved to play! That day, I also took a couple pictures of my cute parents at the Opera House:)

*this picture was of Camden sliding to kick the ball and scoring:)*

Also, here are the rest of the girls bday pictures. I knew I was missing something;) I made Adisyn a Hello Kitty cake,which she loved! It was the quickest,sloppiest cake I've ever made, but she didn't care.

Adisyn's 3rd birthday edited

Our family ended up having a really fun weekend with the girls birthday, Grandma, Grandpa, and Kaden came, last soccer games, shopping, dinner, and the primary program. I'm just sad I was too busy having fun to remember pictures! The girls woke up to lots of presents from Grandma, Beau, Candice and mom and dad. It was like Christmas I swear:) Love my girls and that they get to celebrate together!

Ashtyn turns 9! *edited*

Ashtyn had a "spa party" for her 9th birthday. It was super girly and filled with giggly girly girls! We made foot scrub, soaked their feet, painted nails, did facials, made lip gloss, and had fancy sparkly drinks! She opened gifts and then we had ice cream sundaes for dessert. I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted, but that's ok. I had to enlist one of my cute young women to help me with the party:) She was a lot of help! Happy Birthday, Ashtyn!

Dinner at Pizza Factory

Halloween Fun!

We had a really fun Halloween week this year. We went to the Trunk or Treat that the Dixie State Athletes put on. My cousin Sheila plays softball and she invited us to go. Her team dressed up as "Mario Kart" and she was Wario. She looked awesome! They also took a cute picture with the monsters. For Halloween day, we dressed up and went to the school parade and I stayed to help in her class. I came home to my living room filled with balloons and a giant card from Chris for my birthday. It was super cute and thoughtful:) Later, we dressed up again and went to the ward Trunk or Treat for dinner and fun. It was a lot less crazy this year, which was a bummer but also I enjoyed it a lot more! There wasn't nearly as many "trunks" so we were done really fast. We decided to go to an awesome neighborhood we heard about to go to do real trick or treating. It did not disappoint! There was tons of house all decked out in Halloween decor and lots of fun! Then we hit one last home in our neighborhood and went to bed!
