It's Almost Halloween!

Carlie wanted to have a Halloween party so we invited a few friends over played Halloween Bingo, colored a pumpkin picture and frosted and decorated sugar cookies (all Carlie's plan)!! Everyone looked great in there costumes, Buzz Lightyear (Dillon) didn't want to be in the picture and poor Cayden doesn't have his real costume yet so we just faked it (good thing he is still too young to care)!!

Cheerleader for a Day - Game Night!

Tonight Carlie got to perform at halftime for Copperhills football. Carlie had so much fun cheering with her cousins. Her one cousin is one of the cheerleaders and then her other two cousins did the training camp with her. She was sad the first night when they separated everyone by age group. She was the only one out of the cousins put in a group by herself since she was younger so she had a hard time not knowing anyone. Once we got over that disappointment she had a great time. She learned a dance with her age group and then everyone did the cheers together so she was able to stand with her cousins. It was a fun night and it was nice that it was a little warmer than it has been lately so that we didn't all freeze to death!!

Cheerleader for a Day!

Lance's niece is a cheerleader this year at Copperhills and so Carlie got the chance to go to cheerleader camp. They do this camp so the cheerleaders can raise money for all there costs during the year. There is probably about 100 kids doing it this year! The last two nights we have spent practicing and tonight she gets to perform during halftime at the football game! Carlie has been so excited to do this and has decided she wants to be a cheerleader now!!

Too Many Choices............

It is always funny to see what pumpkin the kids are going to pick out. I usually am the one standing there thinking your going to pick that one?? I think they did pretty good this year considering how bitter cold and windy it was!! Cayden had to pick up about 10 and toss each of them to the side before he found just the right one (luckily none of them broke as he threw them down)! I was surprised they took as long as they did it was so cold!

Once Upon A Dream - Emily Osment - Music Video W/ Lyrics - Hannah Montana

Carlie couldn't wait for Sleeping Beauty to come out! It is a fun "classic", why can't they make good movies like this anymore? We love this song and of course Carlie loves "Lilly" from Hannah Montana:)

Caught in the Act!!

I think it's time to start looking for a new bed!!

The Smell of Fresh Paint!

We just had part of our house painted over the weekend. The painter was amazing, it took him 2 days to paint what would have taken us a month!! It looks so different from before. I think our walls almost looked white before even though they were not. Now it just has a much warmer feeling to it when you walk in our house. If you need a good but quick painter just let me know!!

GO UTES!!

We went to the Utah game last night against Oregon State. If you saw the game last night

then you know what I am talking about when I say the last 2 minutes were amazing!! It looked like they weren't going to make it and then in the last minute they kicked the final field goal to win 31 to 28!! It is so funny watching Lance get so into the game!! It is just a game, right?:)

GO UTAH!!

Another Fun Weekend......

The look on Cayden's face at the watershow!

Last weekend we went to St. George. I hope Lance doesn't get rid of his client anytime soon that keeps us having an excuse to go down every three months!! Our friends Chelsey and Tony met us down there. Lance and Tony went mountain biking every morning and the girls (and Cayden) went swimming and shopping! I bet Cayden can't wait to go with the boys!! We had so much fun. On Saturday we went to Las Vegas for the day. Carlie's favorite part was M&M World. She didn't care about anything else! Both kids loved watching the water show at the Bellagio. You don't get to see much when you are trying to get through the crowds of people walking down the strip pushing two strollers! We had fun though trying! We can only handle going to Las Vegas every couple years! I think we had enough for a while (unless we could go stay at the Bellagio and go see O)!! :)

Who Knew?

Carlie really wanted a Hula Hoop recently! I hadn't even seen anyone with a hula hoop since I was a kid. So Lance surprised her with one when he came home from being out of town. It has been nonstop hula hooping at our house since!! We can't leave Cayden out and his new basketball! He is proud to show that off any chance he gets and he sleeps with it every night!! Who knew that two simple toys would be such prized possessions (for the moment anyway)!!:) I need to stop thinking so big, complicated and expensive when buying toys!

A Girls Dream Come True!!

A little over a week ago I went shopping with some friends, did a little more shopping and then continued to shop!! The best part was my husband let me keep it all and then asked what I was going to do with the kitchen!!!!! So I did a little more shopping!!! Anyone who knows Lance knows how he hates it when I spend money so it was much to my surprise when I basically became a shop-a-holic over a period of a couple of days and he didn't make me return one thing!!! Hobby Lobby and Tai Pan are my new best friends!! This just says one of two things, either my house really looked horrible and needed redecorating or my husband is going through a mid-life crisis and has just completely lost his mind!!! I like to tell people it is the second option!!!!:) Thanks Lance for letting me have a once in a lifetime shopping spree (and I really mean it when I say once in a lifetime, who knows when this will ever happen again)!!!!!!!

The Tooth Fairy is Coming!!!!!

Carlie lost her first tooth tonight!! It didn't come without a lot of tears!! She was worried about her tooth coming out at first and wanted to do whatever she could to keep it from coming out! After a lot of reassuring that is was a good thing for her tooth to come out and that the Tooth Fairy would come she decided it was okay. It took us about 7 hours to get the tooth to finally come out, it was so loose I thought it would be much faster!! I think I could easily wait another 5 years to experience the drama we had to go through to get to this point!!! I was looking on the internet to find a picture of what the Tooth Fairy looks like because Carlie was very concerned about that! It was harder than I thought to find a good picture. I came across a cute website though for all of you that are waiting for this fun experience for the first time, http://www.toothfairyland.com/ You can get a free letter from the Tooth Fairy with your childs name on it!! I am just glad it is out now so that she can eat and drink again (she was so worried she would swallow it)!! Hopefully the next time is a little smoother because I do not even want to think about the next time for a long time!!:)
