Setting Up Christmas

It's that time again... 

We love Christmastime! And our toy train!! We were good and waited till the SECOND week of November this year :)

Kylie Month 2

Here are some cute pics of Kylie from this past month.

Tiny Prints Holiday Cards

 Ah, Christmas cards. Love them? Hate them? Personally I LOVE them, both receiving and sending. I love seeing family updates and what creative newsletters people come up with.

Dinner with Friends

A few weeks ago, we met up Ian Miller and Jeff Hart (we fondly refer to him as Jeffart), friends from our BYU days. It seems like we were just there, but I guess so much time has passed! We went to Portillo's in Anaheim (yummy!) for dinner.

Halloween Time 2011

I know, it's almost December and I haven't posted about Halloween yet. My excuse: it's nearly impossible to get some solid computer time! I'm sure most people know it takes a long time to find all the pics, enhance them and post about them, probably about an hour per post. Unless I blog just from my phone, then it's a lot shorter. Sorry folks, in particular to grandparents who have been asking for Halloween costume pics :)

Our first Halloween adventure was a birthday party for Fox, my friend Paige's son.

This was the coolest Halloween party EVER!

Brian the Cub Scout Master

Brian's calling at church is the Cub Scout Master. He takes his job seriously! This past month the scouts did a rain gutter regatta boat race.

Disneyland is for Adults too

A couple weeks ago I went to Disneyland with some girlfriends. WITHOUT BABIES! Let me just say, it was the most fun I have had in a LONG time!

Veronica the Twi-hard

There will be big changes in my life tonight ... I am going to see Breaking Dawn Pt. 1! I would just like to claim that I read these books FOREVER ago. Before Robert Pattinson. Before the movies were even announced! It was way back before we had kids in the summer of 2007. Brian and I had been married for only 7 months, and I working a summer job at APX Alarm in Provo, UT. My coworker friends Louisa and Colette turned me on to these books. Brian thought I was crazy because all I could do was read the books!

Here is a little video for proof (don't mind my crudeness, I was young!)

Yeah. So there. So excited for the movie :)

Kylie Smiles

Thought I would share this cuteness with you. Kylie started smiling a few weeks ago and i finally caught it on camera. Sometimes she even starts smiling when she's crying. It's so sweet!

E is for Elephant

This past week was my turn to lead our mommy-led preschool group (Mariah calls it "Pretty School"). We are on the letter E!





We started my learning different things that start with the letter E: eye, ears, eating, eggs, Elmo and elephant. Then we sang fun songs about elephants.

Meeting Friends: There's an App for That

Sorry for the 2 week hiatus from blogging. My iPhone blog app has frozen on me and deleted this post TWO TIMES! I was frustrated so it took me a while to retype it. I finally realized i should back it up just in case. Third time's a charm!

In September 2010, when i found out I was pregnant again, I downloaded this app called BabyBump. The app tracks all things related to your pregnancy: weight gain, doctor visits, symptoms, etc. It also has a forum section! I joined one forum for all moms whose babies would be born in September 2011. After a while of talking on this forum, a few of us decided to start a group on Facebook so we could share photos and make it more personable.
