Rileigh's is playing basketball

Rileigh has been playing basketball. Her team is doing really well. They have played 4 games and are undefeated. They are all very tall. Nice to have that advantage.

Basketball Game!

The kids were so cute. They all did the dance really well. When Carly got out on the floor, she took her cheer shirt off and handed it to her cheerleader. Carly asked me the whole 2nd half of the game if she could do her dance again. It was so cute and fun.

Cheer Camp at Dixie High

Carly, McKell, and Maesi had so much fun at Cheer camp. They were so cute! They always made sure that they stayed by their Cheerleader, Abby.

27 Dresses

What a fun night. Thanks to the guys, we had a great girls night out. We went to 27 Dresses. What a cute chick flick. I loved it. James Marsden is very handsome, and Katherine Heigl is a hoot. Rileigh, of course, came with us. It wasn't a naughty show, thank goodness. I am glad that we can do that every once in a while.

Happy 11th Birthday Rileigh!!

Happy Birthday Rileigh! I can't believe that she is 11. She had a slumber/spa party Friday night. Those girl's are a handful. They did pedicure's, manicures, facials, and their American Girl dolls, got to come to. Red rover, indoor volleyball. knocking a few pictures off the wall, farting contests, and lots of screaming. WOW! We were so glad that McKenna could come up from Vegas with her mom, sister, and new baby brother. What a great time.

Happy New Year!

Long time , no blog. I hope that everyone had a Happy New Year. We had a great time New Year's Eve. We went to First night with the Poulson's. After, We played games with the Wallis'. Everyone stayed up to see the new year, even Carly!

A puppy for Christmas!

I know, I know. I am always making fun of dogs being pushed around in strollers, and Chiuahuas in matching sweaters. We got a puppy for Christmas. Colby wanted to surprise the kids, and they were. He went to the pound and adopted Nana. She is a one year old hound dog, and they all love her. Welcome to the family Nana.

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas. Santa Claus found us, thank heavens. Garrett was sure to leave him milk and cookies, and a thank you note. He was very excited. They all were excited. Merry Christmas.

Christmas Eve at the Turner's

We had a great Christmas Eve party at the Turner's. The Christmas Elf of course came. We all got PJ's. We had a great dinner. Each family made a ginger bread house. We really missed you Susie!! Merry Christmas!

Let it Snow, Let it snow,Let it snow!!!

For Christmas Eve we went up to Pine Valley sledding. We went with Annie, Chad, Luke, and Hallie. It was so fun, and the weather was perfect. We had to take off our coats, we got so hot. I don't know who had more fun, Chad and Colby or Luke and Garrett. They went down the hill so many times. Carly and Rileigh had a blast building snowmen and having snow ball fights. What a great way to spend Christmas Eve.

Christmas Sunday

Everyone look so nice dressed up in their Christmas dress clothes. Carly especially liked her "Big dress". She loved how it touched the floor.

The Nutcracker

Monday night, we had a girls night out. Mom took Heather, Annie, Rileigh, Carly, and I to the Nutcracker Ballet. First we had a tea party at her house. (She served her special hot chocolate.) She bought each of us a scarf to wear. Very cute. Carly takes ballet and loves it, but she had never been to see a live ballet. She was enthralled. By the end she was dancing in the isles, leaping off the stars, crying for their costumes,and twirling in circles. What a hoot!!

Christmas Card

Hopefully you have received my Christmas card by now. I was very excited with Malea's work. Here it is. It didn't have the red on the right side. That is just for printing purposes. The card is square.

Alvin and the Chipmunks

We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks today. My kids were so excited to see it. They have been quoting the commercials for weeks. It was very cute. I highly recommend it!!

We went to see Santa Claus with Luke and Hallie. Kaden and Rileigh are too big to sit on his lap. I did talk them into being in the pictures with the little ones.

Family Pics

We got our family pictures taken. They turned out so cute. Thanks Malea.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving with the Wallis family. We had it at our house. I got to cook the turkey. It was only my second time. I was really worried, but it turned out good.

Baby Ogre

Carly had been obsessing over Shrek and Fiona the last couple of weeks because Shrek the Third was coming out on DVD. Well today I came up from down stairs to find that she had climbed up on the counter and found a paint brush, then on the other side of the kitchen to find the green food coloring. Then, she tried to paint herself green. She started with her neck. She is as bad as those baby ogres. Afterwards, she cleaned herself up in the toilet. NICE!!

My Girly Girls

Malea took these cute pictures of my girls. She is so good.
