Our little leading lady!

It's true, our little lady is turning three today.  Where has the time gone? Myah is full of sass, is sure she can do everything on her own, refers to herself in the third person, loves anything pink or purple, loves tinkerbell and barbie, she loves treats, would try a piece of asparagus over a bowl of fruit anyday, loves to be outside, always wants to help do the dishes or dust the house, can wrestle with the best of the boys and loves to snuggle.  She can drive you crazy and melt your heart all in the matter of minutes.  I love her to pieces and can't imagine my life without her!  We love you Myah!  Happy 3rd birthday!

Let's Dance!

post-post edit:  We still are fans! It's been a great year! Maybe next year!

children's museum

Over Martin Luther king day, I was determined to do something fun instead of sitting at home with my kids all day.  We decided to go down and stay the night with Lesli and her cute family and then we went to the Children's museum at Gateway the next day.  We had lots of fun.  It would have been more fun if dad could have come (and easier too:), but we did it and I decided having four kids isn't going to stop us from doing fun things still!  It was a great day!

Hardware Ranch

We had a fun day up at hardware ranch over Christmas break.  I live 20 min. away and I hadn't been there since the 1st grade!  Kind of sad!  Dan and Allison and there cute family went with us along with Jeanie.  Darin had to work :( and Ashley so kindly watched Dawson for me so I could spend time with my big kids.  It was a fun little field trip.  The kids thought it was fun to see all of the Elk.  We ended the trip with hot cocoa...it was a beautiful day!

rewind....Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year (actually the day after...thanksgiving day was spent at my parents but I didn't take a single picture!) we spent the day with the Chase clan at the Institute at USU.  Jeanie is a secretary there and has connections.  She rented the whole building along with blow up houses in the gym and a movie screen in the lounge.  We had loads of fun and the kids were in heaven.  What a fun day!

Carter having some fun jousting!

Camden was having a blast playing football with his cousins.

 And Myah love the bounce house.  Here she is with Kassidie.

 And with no students around, the hallways were great for trikes and scooters.  How fun is that!

Saylor and Myah

And Dawson did a lot of sleeping and was snuggled by everyone!

And thanks to this wonderful Grandma for a fantastic day!  We love you Oma!

Camden's first piano recital

Camden started taking piano this fall.  He has a love hate relationship with it, but he really is pretty good. His teacher is great, she is one of my old young women(she just graduated) and he really likes her. He had his first recital in Dec. He played Jolly Old St. Nicholas. He was terrified, but did great!  He had his song perfect...even with his eyes closed.  He messed up a little bit at the beginning, but took a deep breath and started over and did great.  I was proud of him and thankful he didn't run off after the first mistake...I was a little worried he might:).  It's fun seeing your kids learn new things!
