Kids and the Camera

One day when I was away, Dave gave the kids the digital camera and let them take pictures. They had a ball! Here are some of their fine photography pictures.


Pumpkin Patch






This year for preschool we took a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch again. I love that place. It is the Southridge Farms in Santaquin. I love the hayride over and the yummy apple cider donuts when we get back. This year was a lot less traumatic on the kids. Aspen and Connor didn't fall down constantly! It was cold, but not freezing and muddy like last year. Fun times.

Halloween Sugar Cookies






My sister Annie and her husband Berkeley came over for dinner on Sunday. The kids loved playing their Mario Kart game and we made Halloween sugar cookies! We had a ball making and frosting and eating them! We had them again on Monday for FHE treat. Dave put frosting on Connor's face and he started to get sad. I put some on my face too so he wouldn't start crying. Well, he did anyway. Good times with the sugar cookies!

Dance, Dance!






My girls are in dance this year. They are taking tap, jazz, and ballet. Unfortunately, I don't get to see them dance. I teach preschool during their dance time so my neighbor takes them. Well, last week I moved preschool to Friday so that I could see my girlies dance. They are so cute and have so much fun. They love it! I'm so proud of them.

Thomas and Mickey



Connor loves two things right now. Thomas the Train and Mickey Mouse. He sleeps with one or the other or both every night. I love that boy. What a sweetie!

Waxing





My sister-in-law Megan has gotten into waxing. In fact, all my girl Grant in-laws have. So a couple of weeks ago, I jumped on the bandwagon! Wow! Did it hurt. And then on top of the pain, a few days later, my lip broke out. The upside? I bonded with my in-laws and I have a hairless lip. Yes, I'll do it again. I think the nerves on my lip are dead anyway!

6 Quirky Things

I've been reading this tag on others' blogs and I thought that it was so fun. I was secretly hoping someone would tag me so thanks Tammy! Here goes:

1. I take a strand of hair and run it either between my lips or down the middle of my face. I do this because my hair is soft and smells good. And I usually only do it while reading or watching t.v so you don't need to stare at me folks!

2. I still sometimes sleep with a teddy bear. I got this bear for my 8th birthday from my favorite missionary ever! (His name was Elder Keyes.) So this bear reminds me of my baptism and it is so snuggly!

3. I am so NOT high maintenance. I HATE getting ready. The only time I enjoy it is when Dave and I go on a date. I usually yank my hair in a ponytail, throw on some mascara, a t-shirt, pants, and flip-flops. That is my idea of getting ready.

4. I cannot have my food touch at all on my plate. I hate when they mix together.

5. Another bad habit..... I bite my cheek. Again, usually when I read or watch t.v.

6. I get obsessed with things very easily. Some of my obsessions are Christmas, Disneyland, Harry Potter series, and Twilight series.

I tag... Annie, Tiffanie, and Samantha.
