Play doh

The other day the girls were playing with play-doh and Rylie showed me her work of art. I thought it was pretty cute so I took a pic before peeling it off the table.

...its a giraffe.

Sledding 2009

This was the first sledding trip of 2009. Okay, well...it wasn't really a trip. And its kind of a stretch to call it sledding when you consider the fact that its in our yard which has a very small hill to the neighbors yard. The girls had a great time! And Evan and Kenzi were pretty into it too. The sun had already gone down but we couldn't resist the opportunity to take advantage of the snow. The girls have already played outside quite a few times this year. Its so nice that they can get themselves dressed in their snow clothes. I have fond memories of last years 20 minute prep time for 5 minutes outside. Kenzi and Rylie

Lights at Thanksgiving Point

In the past we've gone to temple square to walk around and see the lights. This year we decided to reserve a trolley at Thanksgiving Point to see their lights. This was a much better option this year since we have 3 little ones that wouldn't handle the cold weather very well. We had a great time enjoying the lights and going to JCW for ice cream afterward. Thanks Grandma & Papa Ehat.
Kenzi - I love how we got the lighted sign perfectly in the background.

Gingerbread Houses

Each year we decorate a gingerbread house as a family. This year was fun since the girls are now old enough to have definite ideas of how the house should look. We decided that since we have a few helpers we would decorate each piece separately and then assemble the house. It was a lot of fun and always makes for some great memories. Even Dylann wanted a piece of the house

Saige's Christmas Program

Saige with her favorite teacher...Auntie Amy!

Saige was front and center in her Christmas program...I thought I had the best seat in the house until Mrs. Rawlings took her place right in front of the kids to lead them. Oops.

Saige did a great job in preschool this year! She loves to go and learn new songs! She is so lucky to have such a great teacher...thanks Auntie Amy!!!

Candybar trains

Each year we have a fun tradition with the Ehat fam of making candybar trains...here are this years creations. Saige made two. One while we were all doing them and then another after Rylie went skiing with Evan (pics of that to come.) Rylie made one and Kenzi made one too but she ate hers before I was able to take pics. Enjoy!Saige's train #1
Saige's train #2- with some help from Grandma
Rylie's train...She did a great job and did it all herself.

Deep thoughts with Saige Ehat!

Saige "Mom, we should go to Jesus' house?"

Me "Well we can visit Jesus at the temple but we can't see him because he lives in heaven"

Saige "Where is Heaven?"

Me "Its in the sky"

Saige "Well, we can take an airplane."

Me "Where would we land?"

Saige "On the clouds, I guess" "Does Jesus' house live on the clouds?"

...oh she is so cute!!!! and definitely a deep thinker.

Dylann's First Laugh

We got Dylann laughing and then tried to catch her doing it on camera. This is what we got.

Photos of family at Dylann's blessing

Our cute little Saige wasn't feeling well...Dr says its a sinus infection. Poor girl! She was pretty cute though...I like the kiss marks from Grandma.
Drew was looking very handsome!

Dylann's Blessing

Our little Dylann was blessed yesterday at church. Thanks to everyone who came and shared the day with us.
Dylann also laughed yesterday for the first time...so cute!!!! Video is coming soon.

Cute Girl

I just think this picture is cute...Saige makes me smile!

Carving Pumpkins

A couple of pics of our pumpkin carving...apparently we were having too much fun carving to take pics because these are the only ones we have :). We did have a lot of fun though. I think Ev took pics on his camera of the finished product...I'll post them as soon as I get them.

I can hear the Ocean...

While we waited for Kenzie to get her braces off Rylie, Saige and I were looking at the sea shells in the waiting room. Rylie and Saige were holding each shell to their ear to hear the ocean. After the excitement of listening to a few shells Rylie got a thoughtful look on her face...she looked up at me and asked...

"Mom, why can't I hear the kids playing on the beach?" " I can only hear the water"

-So cute!!!!!!

Our HUGE Spider!

The other day the girls were playing outside and ran in to tell me about a "big bug." I went to see and this is what I found. It was so big that I wasn't sure what to do with it so I put a cup over it and left it for Evan...this is what he did with it

...the photo shoot was before he took it outside and STEPPED on it! GROSSS!!!!!

-Can you believe how big it is?

Silly Girls

Kenzie, Rylie and Saige got ahold of my mannequin head and decided to dress her up a bit. Saige named her "Bob" and thought it was the funniest thing that she was a girl named "Bob."

Tub Time

Dylann is such a cute girl. She loves her bath...even when its in the bathroom sink!

More Halloween Pics...with Toto Too.

Somehow we ended up with no good photos of all three of the girls together. This is the best one. They were so cute though.

Our beautiful Toto...

Kenz was a vampire...or course.
