Birthday Celebrations

Crosby and I had a joint celebration this year for our birthdays since Denim had to be out of town for work. We went to Mesquite to go bowling and met up with some friends to eat at the kids favorite place ever...The Virgin River Buffet! We had a great time!

We love our Cros! I can't believe he is 4! He is outgoing, a friend to everyone, and so funny! He loves racing cars, playing super heroes and teasing his sisters:) Happy Birthday!

We Moved!

I always like to have an excuse for not doing a better job with my blogging. So, here's my excuse this time...we moved to St. George! We have been thinking about making the move for the past 2 years(ever since Denim took the promotion and started commuting most work days) and we finally decided it was time. So we picked one of the hardest times to move(Christmas Break) and made our way. It wasn't easy with trying to pack and clean a home, find a new one, shop for Christmas presents, plan a birthday, and celebrate an anniversary but we did it! It was hard to leave some good friends behind in Cedar but everyone here has been great and it is already starting to feel like home.

Christmas was a lot of fun despite the flu, pink eye, and some minor coughs/colds that visited us:( We played a lot of games, ate yummy food, waited for it to snow(it didn't come), looked at lights, and laughed.
We celebrated Ava's birthday over the break. She requested a pink party. So we had pink lemonade and pink cupcakes, and pink decorations too. She loves that her parties are always celebrated with plenty of family around!


We went to classic skating too. It was our kids first skating experience, might be their last too. Ava gave up on the skates about 10 minutes into it and headed for the scooter. Brooklyn persevered but had plenty of bruises to go around:)

Happy Birthday Ava Lou!

Halloween 2011

Just a Few Pictures:)

We went to the Fall Carnival where they were doing face paintings. The kids waned them so bad that it didn't even bother them that we had to wait almost 2 hours for our turn! Brooklyn picked a green dragon, they offered to do a "girly" dragon but she said "No Way!" Ava is a princess and Cros is Spiderman! Ava Mava lost her 1st tooth! She was so excited to get a dollar and went to the store right away to buy a jump rope!

Brooklyn's Baptism

Our sweet Brooklyn got baptized last weekend. We are so proud of her and the decision she made. She is a great girl and a good example to her younger brother and sister!
Thanks to my awesome sister Callie who took these beautiful pictures of her!

Brooklyn is 8!

It's hard to believe that Brooklyn is 8! I don't know where the time has gone. She just laughs whenever anyone says that to her though. She has been looking forward to her eighth birthday for a long time! I think she really enjoyed her birthday and is now looking forward to her baptism in a few more weeks.
We were lucky to be up north with family that weekend so we had quite the crew for her birthday dinner. Da and Papa, Aunt Callie and Uncle Tyler, Chase, Kellen, Granny Jo and Grandpa, Uncle Colin, Aunt Kelly, Hayden, and Carson! We took her to Mayan because she loves to see the divers and other performers. Grandma Da gave her this super cute birthday outfit! Here are some pictures from her big day.

This was Brooklyn's reaction to seeing one of the Mayan warriors.

Bk came down with a bad tummy ache by the end of the night, I'm sure it had to do with all the sugar she had that day. The poor girl wasn't feeling very well though:(

Let's Not Leave Out Crosby!

Even Crosby gets to go to school! He started preschool this week! My neighbor started a preschool so every Tuesday and Thursday we walk 2 blocks to his school. Which also means...I have 4 hours of kids free time a week:) He loves it! He comes home and puts all his art work on the fridge and talks about Mrs. Kim and all the kids in his class.

He wanted his backpack in the picture:)
