Happy Birthday Peyton!!

Peyton is a decade old, WOW I can't believe

he is getting so grown up.

What a good boy we have, he is so such

a fun person who can't be alone ever!!! He loves to

be with people just like his Dad.

We love you Peyton and hope you had a great Bday!!

Since his BDay was on Sunday, Friday we took

him to see the new Chipmunk movie then off

to dinner at Iggy's. I love how embarrassed he gets

when they sing (but he made sure we told them)

Sunday Morning!!

I told Peyton that if he ever shot anyone that

1st I would shoot him so he knew how if felt

and 2nd the guns would be mine.

Skee, being curious of how bad it really would hurt

 asked Peyton to shoot him, so he did. 

I think it hurt a little bit

more than he thought it would!! But after seeing

that it really did hurt Peyton felt bad all day

and kept apologizing that he really had shot his dad!!

 I say Lesson Learned!!

I think he scored pretty big....a visor, air soft guns,

Braves blanket , Oregon pancakes and lots of bullets.

He did tell us this was his BEST birthday so far!!

His cousin Brashton shares a B-day with him,

 they are such good buds and have so much in common

except for 1 thing.......He is a BYU fan.

So I thought I'd make a fun cake for them!!

We love you so much Peyton and are so 

blessed that you are our son.

You are so kind and considerate

to everyone around you. You are such a good

example to your siblings.

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Preschool Christmas Program

Berklie has the BEST teacher ever!! I have been so 

lucky to get to help out with these super cute kiddos!!

We made reindeer cupcakes and dressed the kids

up like Rudolph.

 For their Christmas program we went to an old

folks home and sang some songs.

They each had a joke to tell.

Berklie's was Why does Santa have 3 gardens.....

So he can HO HO HO!!!

She did so great and smiled so big when

everyone laughed!!

 After they sang they walked around a gave hugs and 

candy canes to everyone that was there.

Thanks Gpa Ma Fox and Gpa B (who snuck

out early before pictures) for coming. You made

Berklies day!!

Legacy Dance Christmas 2011

Legacy Dance had their Christmas recital

where the girls performed their dances for 

parents and any family members who wanted to see.

Berklie and her little Tots did so darn awesome!!

 (I got lucky enough to be Frosty)

What a fun group of girls, it will be fun to see the new

costumes and dances in January!

Thanks Miss MO!!

Football 2011

We had an amazing parent who offered to 

take pictures of the boys.

I love them all!!

Champions 2011

Peyton and his Championship Braves

Gremlins team had their team party and received

their awesome trophies.

They did the party at Kangaroo Zoo, which was perfect

for all the crazy, energetic boys!!

Congrats to all the boys and the Coaches.

Thanks for all your hard work!!!

Until next year!!

Temple Party/Nana Party

Every year my in-laws decorate for their Temple 

party. Which means we spend hours and hours hanging

out, laughing and decorating for this occasion.

This year was crazy with all the people coming to take

pictures and see the decorations in person.

These pictures don't do it justice, but here is a

sneak peak.

During the middle of our Christmas party a group

heading to the Christmas dance stopped by for pictures

with their dates.....crazy!!

We love Nana so much and are so Thankful for her

and grateful that she is our only living Great Grandparent.

This years party was a lot different and it was kind of sad,

we usually go out to eat and talk for hours with all

the cousins and the kids play, but we needed to put

away the Temple party stuff so we ate and then put

decorations away.

Not my idea of a Christmas party, but you do what you

 gotta do right.....We love ya Nana!!!
