It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I just have to post on how excited I am for Christmas this year. I just love Christmastime. I always have but now that I have kids and even more that this year they both are excited and comprehend alittle more about it this year makes it even better. We have been watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music in the car (gotta love xmas stations) and the Brooke has already started talking about what santa is bringing her.(so cute) Last night we drove around to look at lights and both the girls were looking out their windows saying mommy look at this or look at that it made me giddy with excitement about how happy they are and how I love the Christmas spirit and how everyone is just a little more kinder and happier this time of year. So I hope everyone can enjoy the excitement leading up to Christmas day.

Happy Birthday Michael

Today is Michael's 33rd birthday and he is off flying but coming home late tonight just in time for turkey day which he hates thanksgiving food so Friday we will celebrate his birthday with whatever food he wants. I just wanted to post how much me and the girls love him and are so proud of him and hopes he has a wonderful day and can't wait to see you soon. Since I do this on everyone's birthday I just wanted to say a few special traits about him.
- Has the most georgeous blue eyes
- Has a great sense of humor (he can make anyone laugh)
-Is the best father I know (he is so good with the girls)
-Is a great pilot (he loves his job and it shows)
-Is my best friend.

Happy Birthday! We love you!

I look pretty.

On Sunday before church I was coming down the stairs and Brooke told me to take her picture cause she was pretty. I had told her about two minutes earlier that she looked pretty in her dress so I guess she thought it was a picture moment of course once I got my camera out it was hard to snap a picture she was already preoccupied. Figures... These will do. I love my girls

Time to go night night

This whole week someone has been sick in our house. It started with Brooke then Sydney and now me. So someone has always been under the weather . Brooke today is better but I think the week has caught up with her and so a little on the whiney side. She was argueing with me about something she wanted and started to whine when Sydney looked up at her and said Book (is what she calls her) if don't stop you go bed and go night night. (translation stop whining or go to bed)
Then brooke proceded to say No Sydney you behave or I give you a spanking. She tells me that too if i tell her no. Just to set it straight we don't give her spankings but she will tell you that she will give you one if you do something she doesn't like.
Sydney then proceeded to tell brooke to be nice and went over and took her toy and pulled her hair. She can be kind of a bully at times. (Even to her bigger sister, we are working on that)
This is just a typical day sometimes between two sisters. But they did hug and makeup, now they are laughing at each other and playing with blocks so all is good.

Getting ready for Halloween and enjoying the rest of Fall

This week has been so beautiful here in Utah we couldn't have asked for better weather so me and the girls did all we could to stay outside and enjoy the rest of Fall cause they are calling for colder weather starting next week. Yesterday the girls had a pre halloween dress up for Brooke's preschool that me and some friends do for our kids. It was so fun for the girls. We also got a little pumkin carving done early in the week while Mike was home.

I love being a mom

I love October

I just love October I love the changing of the trees and mountain out here in Utah, I love the weather, I love the first snow fall especially on Timp (mount timpinogas) and I love taking the girls to the pumkin patch every year. And of course Halloween. I am very excited about that this year with the girls. Aren't all holidays more fun now with kids.
