Fun Pre-Christmas Time

Some Christmas lights and a Christmas tree... yipee!
Image

My kids and cousin Samantha at church.

Silly Samantha showing off her tongue. :)
Image
One day we went for a fun train ride...
Image
Caleb said "CHOO CHOO" the whole ride.  BIG smiles!
Image
Santa showed up for a quick visit and hugs.
Image
Then we rode the little train too!
Image
Choo choo!
Image
Lily was a Christmas caroler greeting the guests at our Ward Christmas party.
Image
We met with Santa at our Christmas party.  Lily asked for a doll.  Isaac asked for a Sonic shirt.  He was a little bummed afterwards that he only asked for one thing.

More pics from Utah

We went to the zoo with my family.  It was a little cold but not too bad.
Image
Can you find the tiger?
Image
The kids all loved the carousel ride.
Image
Piggy back rides were a must after lots of walking.
Image
Thanks Grandpa!
Image
The polar bear was pretty awesome.  He would swim under the water right up to the glass, then backstroke away and do it again and again.
ImageImage
Love these cute nephews of mine!  So much fun!

Happy Thanksgiving

Image
 I made a couple turkey appetizers for thanksgiving.  They were fun and gobbled up pretty quickly!
Image
We had a great thanksgiving at my sister Tammisty's house.  The kids had such a blast playing with their cousins, grandma and grandpa, and aunts and uncles.
Image
We are thankful for our family!

Thanksgiving Preschool

Image
Somehow I thought K would be oKay to use for Giving thanKs.  It works, right?  Ah well.  We learned about the letter K, then we learned about Thanksgiving.  I taught the kids how to draw their own turkeys.  Isaac did an awesome job.  Then we talked about what we are thankful for.  Isaac came right out and said "Jesus!"  Sooo proud!  Then he followed with "... and Santa."  Awesome.  "Let's go with Jesus."

Preschool Jungle

Today it was a jungle at preschool.  I had some wild animals to tame and teach.  :)  I quickly took a picture before releasing them to the wild again.

Happy Halloween


Image
Our sad pumpkins after 3 days of 80 deg. weather.  They shriveled up and had bugs and stuff inside.  Guess we have to do them the day of next year.  It's just too hot in Vegas.
Image
Trunk or Treating... yeah, I'm a dork. :)  Worst costume idea ever.
Image
Caleb was so funny.  He would take a treat and immediately put it in his mouth, wrapper and all.  Then if I moved him on to the next person he would put that treat he was just eatting in his bag, on the ground, or even in their bowl and take a new treat.  He threw a few tantrums if I tried to put the new treat in his bag.  It was a hard learning experience for this 2 year old.
Image
The kids had a little hay ride.
Image
On Halloween I got to go into Lily's school and teach ALL of the second graders an art project.  It was a little crazy and most of the kids were confused about step one after I explained all 10 steps, and it took over twice as long as we were planning, but they turned out cute.  We made Picasso inspired MONSTERS!
Image

Trick or Treating with our neighborhood friend McKenna.  They would run from house to house but we left a bit too early and MOST people were not home yet!  Come on people, it's a school night!
Image
 Image
 Cutest puppy on the block!
Image
 Thanks to dad's help he got the hang of trick or treating.
Image
A cute zebra had a fun time walking around the block with us too! :)
