The family at our favorite Christmas shop!

We had a really good Thanksgiving! My brother and sister both came home to visit. It was so much fun to have them here. I hadn't seen my brother and sister in law for almost one year. We spent Thanksgiving at Dad and Loni's house. It was fun to see cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. We went up to Park City the next day and had fun. Teenie and I began our day at about 5:oo in the morning. We went to the outlet mall for Black Friday. It was good because I got a lot of christmas shopping done. We met up with everyone else for lunch later that day. All the girls went and had a massage. It was awesome! I love being pampered. The guys and the kids went swimming and to the arcade. We went to the main street that night to get our traditional chocolate and Christmas ornament for the treee. My mom started this tradition with us years ago. It was fun to have everyone there this year!

The Holy War!

So its been awhile since I last posted something on this blog but I was looking at the posts Lisa has made (She does a good job huh!) and thought to myself that it would be appropriate to show our True color! And for those who bleed some other color..... I'm sorry.

Halle in action!!!

Halle is getting faster and faster at crawling. When she has a destination in mind she goes for it. Liz, here is the video clip you requested. She is going after Mckennas toy car keys. The same day that I filmed this she learned how to open Parkers dresser drawer. It looks like we need to do some child proofing at our house!

Creativity!!

I was busy working on the computer earlier this week and Parker was playing beside me. When I looked over I was suprised to see what he had created. He had all his cars set up inbetween our new blinds. It looked like a parking garage with several levels. I thought it was so clever. I love it when my kids come up with such creative ideas!

Mckenna's boyfriend!!

Mckenna came home the other day and told me she is in love. She told me "mom, I am so in love with Jason!" She met Jason on the bus riding home from school. She pointed him out to me at the bus stop. I thought this wouldn't last long. But she keeps bringing him up all the time. I asked her what she loved about him. "He is just so funny! He is always making funny faces!" So are little girl is five years old and is already in love.

Halle is eight months!

Look out, here I come!

I caught her redhanded playing in all the shoes!

Our latest news is that about a week ago Halle began to crawl. She is now "army crawling" all over the house. It makes me laugh because the first thing she went after was Parker's "Mac truck". Parker is being really good about sharing his toys now that his little sister is getting into all his things. Halle brings so much happiness to our family. She loves to babble in her own little language. She makes the most noise during family prayer and dinner time. Parker always busts up laughing at her silly faces and noises. She also got another new tooth and we think her hair is starting to grow a little.
