The Holidays, Here we come...

Here is the project for this month at Home Depot. Wagons, they had cookies and once again the girls got to see Santa. They are going to know them oh so well.

Emily loves her daddy!!!

We had are ward party which was a lot of fun. Emily got to meet santa for the first time and lets just say she loved him. The minute they gave her a candy cane she got the biggest smile on her face. It was pretty funny.

They had a station where you could decorate cookies. Emily liked that too. Can you tell?

Aubrey enjoyed being able to frost her cookie she thought it was pretty cool. They also had the nativity that the kids performed and writing letters to the missionaries. Music, and a lot of visiting. I am excited that my sister and her family our in our ward now. We have had lots of fun with them.

All the boys played a fun game of football of course they wanted it to be tackle football. There was only a little blood and tears but they all survived.

I think Aubrey thinks that you have to pose for every picture and she seems to like to tilt her head. oh well she is still cute as ever.

The day after Thanksgiving we all went to my parents house and helped them put up there Christmas tree!!! The kids did such a great job.
They were very careful and took it very serious!!

This was our yummy meal before we all digged in. It was all very good!!!

And of course the Three musketeers gotta love them. HEAR COMES TROUBLE!!!

Wow these are really out of order this is proof that we had a home cooked meal. I was behind the camera I really did help.

We really enjoyed having all the famiy together all my brothers and sisters got to come. It has been a great holiday season so far and can't wait for it to continue.

Here comes the Bride....

All dressed in white...
My sweet little girl just turned four and now she is a bride oh how time flies. Aubrey has just loved dressing up in her wedding dress got to love 75% off Halloween costumes. Can't beat that!!

Aubrey had a great birthday this year. She had two parties one with Lukes family and my family the same weekend as Lukes. Than on her actual birthday she had more of my family come over to eat and have cake and ice cream. She loves being four all though at times she thinks she is so big she can do whatever she wants now. We will have to watch that.
Her yummy cupcakes she got to decorate!!! This was one of her presents she got from her Aunt. Her dress up box is getting more and more exciting these days!!! I am so grateful to have Aubrey in our family she really does bring lots of joy and can't wait for many more birthdays to share with her.
Home depot has the coolest thing for the kids the first Saturday of the month. You just have to sign your kids up and they get to make cool projects they get to take home. Aubrey did so good she even got to hammer the nails in. She has a cute little apron they gave her too. I think this will defiantly be something we do again.

Halloween!!!

My sister Cindy is building a house next door to us. This is whats left of my great grandma's trailer. It's going to be gone soon crazy!!!!
Emily Loves to crawl on top of Aubrey they are really started to play good together thank goodness.
For Halloween my sister Carol and I had our kids dress up with the Peter pan theme. We have Peter pan, Wendy, Caption Hook, Tinkerbell and The Crocodile. It turned out to be very cute.


Aubrey thought she was so pretty and of course she was and loved that Aunt Tamra did her hair and make up.
Earlier that morning we went to Bashas with my Friend and her kids trick or treating there and decorated a cake the girls had lots of fun.

The Girls painting on there little pumpkins they really had fun with that.
We had a great Halloween at the Pima Trunk or treating and enjoyed being with family and friends.

Well its been awhile and a very awesome cousin of mine named Marisa has been asking me for the past couple of days when I was going to update my blog. So here it is a bunch of random pictures from a wonderful summer. I will try to be better at this posting thing I guess I just figured that not many people read it anyways so this is for you Marisa, and all of the others that have been wanting to know whats going on in our livesHanging out with Trina and Deseree and below is the rest of the girls...Dinosaur day and Aubrey doing push ups with daddy.
Kalebs birthday party that was thoughts of fun.
Kelsi, Kayla, Shaylee and Aubrey at a princess slumber party. they had lots of fun.
During the summer Marc and Trina came down and we went up to the mountains and had a picnic.

hanging out!!!
We also went to the 24th of July celebration!!!

Fourth of July at aunt Becky's house they girls had a blast.

The girls love to dance this is one of the older vidoes they really know how to dance now. Emily really gets into. I will post later the updated version. She was still trying to get the hang of this walking thing. We also planted grass in the backyard this summer which turned out being so nice for the kids. We made trips to alpine Mesa and just really had fun relaxing and enjoying family.

As for now Luke is still substitute teaching and is doing online courses to get his teaching certificate. He has been subbing a lot which is nice.

Me I'm just doing the same old stuff nothing exciting.

Aubrey is almost 4 and is doing great learning her letters and sounds. She is growing up fast and can't wait to turn four.

Emily learned to walk finally at 17mths just in time for nursery. and got her first tooth at 15mths. She has kind of did everything a little later than most, but you wouldn't know now. She is all over the place and is really liking this walking thing.

Anyways we are all doing great, enjoying life still living at my grandma's but it's been nice for her as well as us. hopefully it wont take us this long next to post. Hope everyone else is doing good too. I know that there was many other things I did this summer just don't have cool pictures of them.

dancing and gardens

Here is an update on what our garden looks like. We have all ready had lots of cucumbers and the watermelons are almost ready to pick. The corn is doing ok but we have had lots of bugs eating them so sad:(
This is the pumpkin patch it's huge and the pumpkins are getting so big. I know it's a little early for Halloween but I am sure they will keep growing.
Aubrey waiting to dance for us!!!
Aubrey has been wanting to go to dance class since see she saw her cousin dance. EAC was offering a one week dance camp for $15 so we thought that would be fun for her. This is the dance they worked on throughout the week. ENJOY!!!! She wanted to wear Kayla's dance outfit she gave her so I told her when they performed that would be ok. She was so excited!!

Christmas in July!!!

We have had a gingerbread house since Christmas and Aubrey kept wanting to decorate it so finally we finished it. And what a better day than the exact date that marks 6 mths past Christmas and 6 more mths until Christmas!!! Here is the finish product....

GEUSS WHAT!!!

Emily got her first tooth. IT was about a week before she turned 15 mths and it looks like the rest our about to come in. The only thing is she was a grouch during our Utah trip teething and all. She loves to wave and say uh oh. She will drop something and then say it. It's cute. Still wont walk on her own though. She is not scared to climb but wont walk. Soon I hope :)
They love eating Popsicles at grandmas.
We went to the St George temple with my cousin Tyler and Becky that was a lot of fun. Aubrey loved the statue of Jesus.
This is who we stayed with Goska and Mike and there little girl Freya. Goska was one of there baptism in Poland and this was his companion. We had lots of fun in Utah thanks guys.

This was at Circus Circus in Vegas the girls really had fun there.

We got to go on Mike's parents boat this was at the end the kids were exhausted from a long day
I tried water Skiing but my feet were to small for the skis so sad. I tried though no one else would.
We had fun on the tubes though. We enjoyed our trip but it is always nice to be back home too.
