Just a touch of holiday cheer

Owen and i have been singing this song every morning while we eat breakfast! i think he will have the whole thing memorized by Christmas! I love his enthusiasm for life it is just so fun to watch.

Turkey how i love thee

Mom really out herself with this meal!!!! Everything was so Mm Mm Mm good!!!! Thanks mom and hope you had a great B-day too!!!
Although the turkey name tags were cute they were a little more labor intensive than any of us anticipated!
We went on an awesome little hike while we waited for the turkey to finish cooking at the end of the hike we went through this crazy tunnel Owen loved it it was slightly creepy though
owen and grandpa

dane looks like a ghost Ooooooo!

SYTYCD

If you know me at all you know I am obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance! This season has been so fun because Breanne's (who's husband works with Michael) cousin Ashleigh and her husband Ryan are on the show. She has been so kind as to call me up when she has extra tickets to the taping! It has been such a blast to go and watch the dancers and have the inside scoop! of course i don't have pics because they wont let you bring the camera in but after the taping one night we got back to Angela's car and the driver's side window was smashed and her purse stolen!!! It really sucked but we tried to make the best of it. This was our attempt to cover the window so it wouldn't be so cold. It lasted about three minutes and made the ride Very loud but at least we laughed really hard at ourselves!

Drew took two steps to me today!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how fast time flies!!

This past month and a half have been crazy!!!!! But also jam packed with a whole lot of fun! I have realized though that i might be the worst picture taker EVER!!!!!!! The silly thing is that I always have my camara, but I never ever take pictures! So the fun started by Tracie's wedding. The next day michael and I (it was Michael birthday) flew to Utah. Gesse stayed and watched the boys for us! thanks GIGI! That night the lovely Connors picked us up from the airprot and we went to dinner (sorry no picture). We had such a great time as always when with john and ash. I have to say though i was a little worried all night about Ashley becauseright before they came to pick us up she had fallen down a few stairs and hit the back of her head. i thought we might be heading to the hospital but turns out she was okay(I still think she might of had a slight concusion) Then the next morning we left with michael work for Lake Powell!!!! We had such a good time and really great weather except for the last night when it got really windy! I love lake powell and i love being on the boat! Thanks GPS for a great trip!!!!(again not a single picture!) Then I decided to take the boys with me to Arizona. By this time Kade was seven weeks old and I couldn't stand it ANY LONGER!!!!!!! I needed to hold that sweet baby! I was so proud of myself for pulling of a road trip just me and the kids! It was sooooo worth it though just to see Owen and Austin together! They love each other so much it melts my heart. They would leave eachothers side they had to do everything together including all their trips to the bathroom. I think Owen even offered to wipe Austins bum so karalee wouldn't have to! Ha ha ha i dont think so bud!! We hung out, went to the zoo, went to storytime, trunk or treated and played played played!!!!! It was so fun and i am so grateful Scott and karalee tolerated me and my choas! Thanks Lifferths love you and miss you everyday!!!! We came home the morning of halloween. We got to hang out with all the Bryan cousins and all go trick or treating together. we had a blast!!!!! Then the next thursday tracie took Michael and i to the airport and tracie and dane had the kids for the weekend while we went to NYC!!!!!!!!! We loved every minute of it! We tried to do as much as we could but there is just to much to see to do it in 2 and a half days!!!! Looks like we just might have to go back again!!!! We are stay in Cali for Thanksgiving and the it's off to utah for Christmas!!!!!!!!! We will be there for three weeks and boy are we excited!!!!!

This kid can rock

I think i might be the worst mom ever but owen loves tattoos and we found a bunch in the cupboard one day so i decided to give him a sleeve. he thought he was so cool and i think he is a stud!

The Boyz

these two love to hang out anything owen is doing drew has to do to! i love watching them
everyone tried to convince me that drew was going to be the calm one... not so much... with his high energy and crazy curiosity he doesn't stop getting into things... i am in for it!
owen loves to climb this tree in the back yard
owen likes to be a helper to his little bro
can you believe that face? oooo i love to kiss it!

This is a video i took today and it made me laugh so hard usually if owen knows he is saying a naughty word he has this look on he face like, i know i am not supposed to say this word but i dont care! sometimes we add er to the end of a word to be silly for example instead of saying," silly goose" i will say, "You silly gooser!" ( i cant remember if i made that up or owen did) so he really just thought he came up with a cute little nick name for halloween by adding the er! i am just glad i caught it on tape... Happy Halloweener!!!!!!!!!

Tracie Got Married!!!!!!!!!!

my mom looked so hot in her little outfit!
we danced... and danced! it was a party!
look at those girls aren't they so cute!
bridesmaids... not all of them ( we are missing four)
Dane's family. we met them for the first time the night before. they are so great i just loved them
we had to hike ( i mean hike in three inch heels) dane is kind enough to wipe tracie's sweat!
this was the best the boys looked all night! the hike in the woods not so great with a three year old in a white dress shirt!
they were very kind feeding cake to each other!
yes we hand made all those tissue balls! but i think it turned out sooooo cute!
Doesn't tracie look amazing in that dress! right when she sat down in the car to leave Owen ran up to give her a hug he said," i wove (love) you twacie... what's a honeymoon?" tracie laughed and told him to go ask his mom! i don't know where he got that but it was pretty cute!
Also Owen was sooooo excited for this wedding about two weeks before he asked "are jaden and alex coming down?
me " no, not until tracies wedding... and then you can hang out with them ALL DAY LONG!"
owen,"... and show them my moves?"
me " excuse me what?"
owen, " you know... my dance moves!"
i laughed really hard but he was not kidding around! as soon as that dance music started he was out on that floor dancing his heart out. i don't know what i was thinking i didn't get any footage of it! it was hilarious! wow that kid makes me laugh! love you tracie and dane!!!!! thanks for a great party!
