Drew's Muscial Preference

Drew and I had a date night on Saturday. We saw temple square after driving around for over half and hour to find any available parking spot, walking over 20 minutes just to get there and then going to the most crowded place in all of Utah to see the lights. Honestly, it was completely worth it. So beautiful, but my favorite part of our date was when we walked around the mall. We went to a music store and there was Christmas music playing. Drew loved it so much he asked someone working there who it was. The guy opens the CD player and to my complete delight, it was David Archuleta. I had no idea Drew was such a big American Idol fan! It was so funny, and yes Drew did purchase the songs on itunes when we got home!

I love you Santa Claus!

We went to the mall to see Santa and let the boys tell the jolly old man what they wanted for Christmas. Isaac was so excited, he couldn't sit still. He has been watching the old made for T.V classic of Santa Claus, so he knew how important this man was. Isaac ran up to Santa, threw his arms around him and yelled, "I love you Santa Claus!" Santa put Isaac on his lap and asked what he wanted for Christmas. Isaac responded with, "Underwear." Santa said, "Wow, anything else?" Of course! Isaac said, "Yeah. A baby doll." Sam was next. His excitement must have been hidden, because Sam reluctantly walked to Santa, sat on his lap and looked terrified! He really really wants a Nintendo DS for Christmas. It is all he can talk about. So when Santa asked him what he wanted, it was funny to hear him barely whisper, "A Nintendo DS." I love love Christmas!

Jazz Game

Drew loves going to Jazz games. Now Isaac loves it too. Isaac was yelling and jumping and having a great time. Sam and I were not as amused, but it was still a very fun game with the Jazz winning in overtime!

Miss Utah

Miss Utah came to do a presentation at our school. Yes, that is my cute little class. Yes, her legs stop at my neck. Yes, I am starting my diet this very minute. Yes, I hate her. And no Drew, I did not get her phone number.

Saturday!

Drew knows of the funnest places to go! This time we went to the planetarium (I have no clue how to spell that). We went on Mars, the Moon and watched a 3D movie all in one afternoon. It was both Isaac's and my first time seeing a 3D movie. Isaac cried and said the dinosaur bit him. He continued his story with a slight limp walking away from the movie. It was soooo much fun!

Trunk or Treat!

For this year's Trunk or Treat, we skipped the trunk and just set up chairs. Isaac loved walking around and getting free candy, while Drew loved sitting and giving out the candy. It was an amazingly fun Halloween this year. After trick or treating we watched the World Series while we ate all of Isaac's "good" candy! We decided that we think Halloween is more fun now that we are adults.

Stuffed Animals...

We had to take the picture of Isaac with the bears. For some reason Isaac pointed to the light brown bear and said, "Good bear!" Then he pointed to the black bear and said in a deep voice, "Bad bear!" Drew felt this was Isaac's inner racism coming out. Hmmmm....

Fall

Fall is by far my favorite season. Part of celebrating this wonderful season is eating caramel apples, which we did happily.

School Carnival

Sam had his school carnival last week. Luckily the whole family was able to go.

Isaac played the games with Sam. Sam followed the rules. Isaac held the apple in place so it wouldn't fall, and yet they both won. Ahh, school rules for games.




Isaac dumped soda on his pizza, ate part of his napkin stuck to his pizza, then he stuck his finger in a can of soda, which cut his finger. He kept trying to get his finger out by himself, which only caused him to cut himself even worse. We love school carnivals!

Life is a Circus!

Potty Trained!

We had a potty party for Isaac two weeks ago, and Isaac became extremely excited to use the potty like his doll does. So we now have a potty trained little boy! He wakes up dry most mornings and goes days without having an accident. Ahhh, we love it!

Scavenger Hunt!

These are pictures of my family- Mom, brothers, sisters and their spouses. Plus all the 23 grandkids!

The picture with a normal size group of people-- is my mom with me and my brothers and sisters.

See if you can find:
Our family mixed into the group.

San Diego Trip

I know this is late, but my favorite thing we did this summer was visit San Diego. We loved going to the beach especially. Isaac became obsessed with grandma and cried for her for about a half an hour on the way home. It was so great for Isaac and I to get to know our new family a little better. I especially loved getting to know Tod and Kim. It is easy to see where some of the traits I love so much about Drew came from. I was surprised how quickly I felt comfortable there. I hope we can go again soon!

Sam's 6th Birthday!

I am trying to catch up on this blog! I will start with Sam's 6th Birthday. It was very Star Wars and Bakugan themed. Whats Bakugan? Well it's battle brawlers that compete aganist each other by opening up on magnets. Ummm.... I really thinks that's all they do, and I am exaggerating that they really battle. But Sam loves them!

Sam's T-ball Game

Sam is a great T-ball player. He is especially good at hitting the ball.
