Liam's blessing

Bevy of Boys

Chloe says "which one is ours"



Beckham "Hey can you guys come out and play"

I said "try" the girls stayed awake the whole ride back to our house and we got home just in time to see the ball drop. We had to explain that we had tricked them earlier and that this time it really was midnight. Noelle cocked her head to the side and then seemed  to quietly take note that her parents lie  sometimes...welcome to 2011 Noelle, just don't explain the situation to your sister ...or brother.  We would like to pull the wool over their eyes for another couple years.

Are you ready for this*

 Chloe isTHREE!!!! 

We Had Nana and Grandpa over for pizza and a fabulous cake (made by daddy) on her  birthday!!

                                                                                                                                                                                         

 

Then it was off to Disney On ICE!!!!!  It was a great show! We all got hot dogs and drinks with our tickets, so I just brought little bags of reindeer food *recipe follows! During intermission I snuck my girls down to the front row (of course-hahaha)....They were not impressed and cried  untill I took them back up to our real (nose bleed) seats! Good thing we didn't pay for the good seats, they could have cared less and they actually preferred to sit up high! 

Avery and Chloe love each other and Avery is such a
doll! Oh and this is a good picture of the sweater Nana knitted for chloe!

 

Chloes favorite part was the little mermaid and where the man with out his shirt on drew fire on the ice.(they had a hawaiian part where a man in board shorts drew with lighter fluid on the ice then lit it on fire!)

Let me tell you about Chloe. She is hysterical. She makes me laugh and smile all day long. She tells jokes and she says things because she knows they are funny, she has Noelle laughing to their own little jokes frequently.  She loves her family. She loves to follow Noelle around and copies everything she does. She takes care of Noah, she loves to lay on the floor and let him pound on her head and pull her hair.  She is very expressive, and she makes the funniest faces ( You can read her mind by the expression on her face, she has a "i'm about to do something naughty" face, a "whatever~" face, and a "i know i'm cute" face!) She is my little buddy, yesterday I was going to the store with just Noah and she said, "but mommy thats not fair,(meaning not fair for me not her) ...you won't have anyone to talk to...Noah doesn't know how to talk back....maybe you could call me on the phone, but I don't have a phone, you should call daddy's phone so you will have someone to talk to"

CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Eve in their new Repunzell PJ's!

Christmas morning with the toys santa brought them..TAG readers and Music instruments..I know what your thinking and don't worry the tree to the left has lots and lots and lots and too many more presents....I didn't take pictures of that part because I did not want to be distracted..they were so excited and so sweet.

Noelle and Chloe and Hayley and Brian with their new Pillow Pets! Noelle promtly burst out in the jingle on the commercial."its a pillow...its a pet....its a pillowPET!" (they also know the ZOOPALS jingle: Oink! Oink! Zoo Pals, Buzz! Buzz!! Zoo Pals, Quack! Quack! Zoo Pals! Zoo Pals make eating fun. When you clean your plate, then you see their face. Hoot! Hoot! Zoo Pals, Ribbet! Ribbet! Zoo Pals, Woof! Woof! Zoo Pals Zoo Pals make eating fun! ChaCha for now!...NOW TRY THE OCEAN COLLECTION!hahaah that last part always cracks me up...NOW TRY THE OCEAN COLLECTION)

  

Grandpa got out his 60 year old Lionel Train set...The kids loved it, but grandpa didn't stop playing with it all day! Noah was certainly impressed and you would be too if you knew how long my dad has been waiting to show his train set to his grandson probably since he inherited it in 1961!!!!!

We had a great Christmas and hope you did too! Just to end on a Spiritual note...This picture was posted   by a friend of ours who is in the picture (the fireman to the left)

Provo Firefighters look at a painting of Christ that was pulled from the historic Provo Tabernacle after the building was destroyed by fire. The fire burned the entire image except the image of Christ near the center

This is the original painting in tact.

*Merry Christmas*

Noelle and Chloe before Noelle's preschool play!

the little mermaid!

Abe says I got a little carried away with the make-up and i have to agree- they look about 15 and 17!

Noah was popcorn in a bag!

Daddy was a hot dog and I was a coca-cola bottle...

Halloween festivities lasted about 10 days and our girls went trick or treating like 5 different nights ... good thing the girls found out about the Halloween Candy Montster, they set their candy out for him and he came in the middle of the night and ate it all and gave them a prize!

SWIMMING LESSONS

Chloe doesnt really like swimming lessons and we have missed about 4 lessons out of 8 but at least we are trying right!

Thank you for reading this really really long blog entry, i will try to update more often, but I do have three kids so ...maybe not...HAVE A HAPPY DAY!!!
