Ethan's Christmas Program!

Last Thursday Ethan had his school Christmas program, he did SO good!! He sang all the songs SOOO good and did all the actions too!

WHEN I LEAVE MY KIDS WITH TAIYA AND CAM!!! ha ha







I love all these pics, they are hilarious!! I think they are imitating Tai and Cam's poses :) I will have to post the breakdancing video later!! ha ha Thanks guys for babysitting! Love ya :)

Some recent fun...

Ethan has been begging me for weeks to make a Ginger Bread house, so I finally gave in and let them make one. Who knew it would be so hard to get the dang thing to stay together, if Taiya hadn't given me a helpful hint, it probably would have went out the window :)
For once Haze actually enjoyed putting the candy on instead of eating it, and Ethan absolutely loved making it...
Such posers... so cute.. love Hazen's face.. ha

The finished product..done almost all by them!!
Here is a pic of the boys the other day, all excited to go play in the snow...
and here they are after!
And last but not least I had to post this pic of Cinderella and my boys, she stopped by to visit!!
Ha ha love ya Tai!!

Busy Weekend continued...

The day after Thanksgiving all the girls in the family got together,(except Natalie she had to work, crappy) and had a craft day!! It was so much fun to get together and everyone's crafts turned out so cute!! Can't wait to do it again:)
It was also my brother Brooks' birthday on Friday. We all went to Firehouse to celebrate! He is such an amazing brother, and person in general :) He has always been such a great example to me. He is truly someone I look up to and admire. We love you lots Brooks :) Even if you are a Ute fan... ha ha
Saturday morning me and the boys, and Tai and Cam headed down to Salt Lake to have a late Thanksgiving dinner, well sort of, with my dad and Darlene. It was so fun to see them, and the kids had fun helping Grandma Darlene put up the Christmas Decorations!
Cute little turkeys...

Thanksgiving Tradition

One of my memories that sticks out the most about Thanksgiving, besides being with my family, is my mom ALWAYS making my grandma's amazing rolls. They are honestly AMAZING :) This last weekend we went out and helped my mom make them, Hazen had a blast rolling out the dough.. and Ethan, well, he basically just played guys the whole time, but he loved being out there. As for me, I didn't do much :) But I always love spending time with my amazing mom. Maybe one day I will attempt to make them myself.. Turkey Day 3 days and counting...

They SAY it's your BIRTHDAY!! :)

What a better way to get the WHOLE family together than to celebrate Kado's birthday!! Friday night we all got together at mom's house and had cheesecake, and then Saturday we all got together again to eat. It was so fun to see everyone...
I can't believe my baby brother is 20!! Where does time go? I am so happy we got to see him on his birthday!! I love him so much, he is such a good kid, and I am so proud of him:) My kids absolutely love their "Uncle Hulk", cuz he has muscles inside of his muscles ha ha
Friday night ALL the brothers and sisters went and saw 2012 together. It was so fun to get everyone together, it rarely happens anymore!! I just have to say I am truly blessed to have the best family on EARTH. I know everyone thinks that they do, but I really do :) I have amazing brothers and sisters, and love them all so much:)
So cute... love the cheesy smiles!
Mom, Kado, and Lorell
