TAYLOR LEIGH

For as mush as she asked Santa for the Hannah Montana Real Life T.V. Game, she didn't seem to excited about it on christmas morning, however she showed alot of love to Brian and I and said thank you for every single present...She was a real sweet heart all day... She really enjoyed having Brock and Kade to play with @ our house.

BRILYN JOLENE

Brilyn must have been very good she was spoiled this christmas... Her new doll house that Santa brought her is so so cute... (mommy can't wait to play with it) she was alot of fun. She really like the Potty doll that Grandma Cheri gave her..

***CHRISTMAS EVE****

We went to Cheri's on christmas eve to be with Sammi and the kids... I was really fun we ate dinner, Grandma Cheri played Hokey Pokey and who has the button, Dayna sang songs, Corey even got down and play horses or bears I can't remember all while we waited so excited for SANTA to appear. Once he made it our way the kids were so excited when they heard the knock on the door, out of excitment they managed to shut the door in sants's face.... they were all so excited and Santa was a BLAST, gifts were given to everyone...SANTA even stayed for a family pitcure....We went back to Cheri's on christmas day and had a yummy dinner, the kids played in the snow and all over the house, the older boys (men) took a nap and Dayna and I took turns getting and giving relaxing massages I kids even made santa some cookies... it was a great christmas!

Christmas Songs

Aunt Dayna did a very good job singing songs with all the hyper-active children while we were wating to see if the kids were good enough to have Santa stop by our party.. AND HE DID....

CHRISTMAS WITH SANTA*** THANKS SANTA

On Dec 20 we drove to Idaho to get together with my family for a little christmas party. We got lucky and SANTA decided to show up and surprise all the kids... I was really cute.. I love this pitcure of Brilyn pouting and she wouldn't give in an smile for the camera in her new dress... But she warmed right up when it was present opening time Grandpa Gary even got a wet one on the smoucher... However I am pretty sure that it was GRANDMA LORI that stayed up till 3:00 in the morning to finish the girls TU TU's and aprons... THANKS everyone..

video of Taylor's Dance..

Aunt Brittany was the video tapper after figuring out how to run the little record button on my digital camera... Climbing over several chair so she could see Taylor... So be patient it is a dizzy ride for a few seconds then little Taylor dancing to Santa's gotta make it to town.

Tater's Dance Rectical

On Dec 5th Taylor got to dance @ the festival of trees so Grandpa Gary, Grandma Lori, Jason & Family and Brittany and her family all came down to watch. It was a fast trip for some and a fun filled weekend for others... LOL.. Tater did a great job she was so excited to see all of us in the front row that she was to busy smiling @ us she missed the first few counts... but we all just giggled.. Taylor also had a another recital on Dec 12 @ the high school. And her daddy felt so bad not being able to make it so instead of telling her he wasn't there, Dad brought some flowers when he came to watch and then had to leave to drive to Idaho before Taylor got out of the dressing room... What a sweet daddy ( now mom needs some flowers for helping dad out he he he HINT)

He did a great job with it, they girls were really cute and took their coloring books out side on Grangma Cheri's lawn and colored with Brian and Donnie babysat the turkey project, I attempted to help Cheri in the kitchen....

XOXOXOXO The kids all played really well together, just wish we were closer Brock and Taylor would have so much fun, And I think that Brilyn could really make uncle Corey a big softy.....

4th pitcure tag

I Keep seeing this post on everyone's blog! I guess I am not organized I don't have a pitcure box or file... However this was the 4th pitcure that was saved on my cell phone, Miss Brilyn showing off her new riding gloves (like she will ever use them she is scared of the loud sounds of the motor bikes and snowmachines-kinda like Taylor is scared of dogs).. but she sure looks cute all dressed up.

And this is also Brilyn when she was about 15 months old. This was between the many moves and she fell asleep on the air matress which her and I had been sleeping on in our house in Herriman, while Taylor and daddy were fast alseep and comfy in Idaho..

Little Cute SLOW POKE'S

So of course I was late getting the girls in the car and to school when, Taylor decided to tell me that she is also the snack buddie for the day.. (no candy we learned that the 1st time)healthy learning start the brain snacks, so we stopped off @ the smiths when right of the bat little Brilyn notices that they have the mini carts so off she went and Tater had to have one as well, since we were already late we got a few things that we would need for the next ccouple of days before we move.... And off to school and work we went

~~~GRANNY CRAIN~~~

The girls and I went to Idaho this past weekend & I was able to get some really cute pitcures of Granny and Bripie, they are so so cute when they play... Grandma was so excited that she was able to get Brilyn to feed Sassy some bacon right from her hands. They played kitchen counted on their fingers and I think Granny spelled everyone's name 10 times for Taylor so she could right them down on paper... I think that Granny got over 100 kisses from Brilyn, it was so cute.

......Student of the Month.....

Lastnight was our first time @ parent-teacher conference, and we were very impressed and excited to know that Taylor is such a good student for Mrs.Lund..... While we were leaving the we notice that Tater was on the student of the Month Board... GOOD JOB TATERBUG we love you very much, you are such a joy to us and a wonferful big sister to Brilyn,, keep up the good work.

WHOOT WHOO.... BRILYN & TREY

Melissa took these pitcures of Trey and Brilyn, so so cute so I had to copy them off of her blog.. I really need to talk to aunt Brittany she has got to stop teaching my daughters these types of habits... LOL.... ok maybe they got it from Miss Melissa, they think that she is so cool the must have copied some of her actions... J/K cute pitcures though.

Here are a few more pitcures from HALLOWEEN.. After work Brian and I took the girls up to GRANDMA Cheri's where they took the girls trick or treating while I handed out candy. The weather was warm and Brian said that the girls were good but he thought that Cheri had more fun than anyone... I even dressed up for work and as you can see I am such a good whitch that our daughters want to be like me.... LOL... They both looked so cute in my hat...
