Our visit with Nanny

Hannah and Payton had a visitor this week yes it was Nanny. We enjoyed our visit so much we were able to set up the Christmas tree, go to the movies and build a gingerbread house (FUN FUN FUN). Hannah had so much fun reading and just spending time with Nanny. Payton always has a good time doing puzzles and playing with Nanny she also likes to make Nanny smell her stinky feet (LOL) what a silly girl she is.

Daddy's Vacation

Chris was on vacation last week and he was able to complete his honey do list. Paint paint and more paint . We decided to change some color around the house and spruce things up a bit. The living room down stairs was dark green and after 3 coats of primer now its cottage cream (LOVE IT) and the TV room down stairs was dark burgundy and after 3 coats of primer now its meadow hills (sage green). Thanks honey the rooms look great I had no idea Chris was such a good painter.

"Look at the Lights"

This year is the first year Payton really remembers what having lights on the house really means, No we are not like the Griswold's however very close. Her first reaction was priceless all she could say was "Look at the Lights I can't believe it ". We spent all day putting up the lights and boy was that a project (Thanks Honey they look GREAT!!). I'm so excited about the holidays I love this time of year. Hannah was floating on cloud 9 because she was asked to memorize a verse for our church Christmas eve service I think she will do great I just hope she isn't too shy we will have to work on that .

Thankful Treasures

This is a time of year for all of us to stop the chaos called life and be thankful for all our blessings. My most wonderful blessing are as follows my family , I would not be who I am today if I wasn't for each and everyone of you. My friends are incredible so loving and supportive. My husband growing with you is and has been such an experience I look forward to growing old and sharing our dreams together I love you with all my heart. My babies , My little angels I love you both so much and cherish every smile, giggle, kiss and hug. You both bring me so much joy. And last but by no means least because I would not have all of these things without him I thank God for all of my Blessings. I wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

What A Silly Girl !!!

Today was a day of beauty for us girls. Hannah decided to cut her hair because she wanted to have hair like Kit Kittredge (Her favorite American Girl doll). I just couldn't bring myself to make an appointment for Payton yet she still lets me brush her hair without a owe here and an owe there LOL. I love taking pictures of Hannah because she is such a HAM :)

Suncadia and Papa What more could you ask for ?

This week we took a short trip to Suncadia Lodge. The Girls were able to visit with Papa (little did he know it would be overnight) The tree musketeers went out to dinner , rented some movies and ended up falling asleep thank god for king size beds, Payton is a wild sleeper LOL. Chris and I spent the evening at a dinner held for BNSF employees and hung out with friends. While Dad and Chris spent the day at a staff meeting I took the girls out for a nature walk . We enjoyed and appreciate all of Gods beautiful creations.

FUN with Uncle B-Bet

Last weekend the girls were able to spend some time with Uncle B-Bet . Its so funny they can talk him into doing just about anything.

The Best of Buddies

Payton loves spending her time with Baylee (her BFF) . One day last week they ended up wearing the same outfit and looked like two peas in a pod LOL (those of you who don't know Payton's nickname is Little Pea). I love watching both of these girls play they love each other so much.

Halloween !!!!!!

The girls had so much FUN on Halloween . We went over to Mike and Katy's house for a Halloween party . Hannah bobbed for apples for the first time ever and did great . The star of the night was the nice witch (Katy's mom) Payton wasn't too sure of her at first but then followed her around all night. Thank you so much Mike , Katy and Family for making this Halloween so memorable for us. Payton changed her mind at the last minute and decided to be a black cat instead of Dora. Hannah was a High School Musical cheerleader.

Carving Pumpkins

Last night we carved pumpkins with the girls. We actually let Hannah carve her own little pumpkin this year and she did a very good job. Payton didn't like the yucky stuff inside.

6th folder 6th picture

I'm new to blogging but I must say I really enjoy it. My good friend Katy introduced me to this blog world and has taught me so many new things (Thank you Katy). I thought I would share my 6th picture in my 6th folder. The picture was taken at my mom's house about 4 years ago on Easter, those of you who don't know this my mom lives on the west side of the mountains where it rains 3 weeks out of every month LOL . We were ready to hide the eggs for our hunt and it started pouring down rain, indoors was the only option at this point . There were about 300+ eggs and we started to run out of hiding places . I thought "Grandmas hair" nobody would ever look there. HAHAHA

All the eggs were found and a good time was had by all.

Hannah the dog trainer

One of Hannah's favorite things to do is training Rusty, she has taught him to give her a high five ( I'm still working on getting him to even listen to me). I'm not sure how she does it but he is learning quite a bit. The girls opened a package from their Papa last week and modeled the out fits for the camera (aren't they adorable)

More Pumkin Patch

Haystack Pyramid

Petting farm

Pumkin Patch

Last sunday we took the girls to the pumkin patch (Payton's favorite place) we had such a good time . Hannah picked out her pumkin first and Payton (like her daddy) serched and serched for the perfect pumkin. After we finished with the hay ride we went to the petting farm and played on the hay stack pyramids Hannah talked us into a pony ride.
