Annie ballet

Annie takes a ballet class at Westside studio. Yesterday her class was open to parents. She had alot of fun and did a great job. Here are some pictures of the event.

Snow Canyon

We had a fun weekend. We decided to take our kids to snow canyon. We went on a hike and went in the Lava caves. Our kids had so much fun. I was a little freaked out with the Lava caves because it was a big deep hole to get in them and only a little steep path you follow to get down. I thought my kids were going to fall and kill themselves. We made it out alive though and had lots of fun.

Brad and I have found a lot that we love in Villa Bonita. It is in our ward that we just moved from in Santa Clara. Its actually a block away and across the street so it's still close to the school and close to all our friends. It's in a really nice gated community ( most of the houses back up to the sunbrook golf course) and the lot that we want has a 2 acre grassy area and tennis courts off the back. We are hoping that we can make it happen. The houses in Villa Bonita are the mediterranian style homes. I've noticed those house plans are hard to find. We did find one that we love but it's 5800 square feet. The smallest house in their is 4800 square feet and the largest is 7000. We are looking to build the minimum size you can build in their which is 3500 square feet. Anyway, this is a picture of the house I love. It's cool because the house is kinda H shaped and has an inside courtyard in the front and a courtyard in the back but we have to somehow cut down the square footage.

Braces almost off!

I just got back from the orthodontist this morning and found out that I'm getting my braces off next wednesday ( a week from today. ) Finally after a year of these things I'm finally getting them off. So, if anyone knows where I can get my teeth cleaned and whitened where they will put me totally asleep let me know because I'm such a baby.

Halloween!

Our Halloween was pretty fun. Avrie had a Halloween party at preschool and my other kids had a Halloween parade. Brad, me , Annie and Avrie went to Ruby River for lunch and Avrie ended up throwing up. She wasn't even sick and she said she was going to throw up. I immediately grabbed a bowl from the table and luckily she got it all in the bowl. Nobody was by us so we were glad for that. We ended up covering the bowl with a napkin. Just then the waitress came by and Brad told her what had happened and What we should do with the bowl. She just said to chuck it and then bolted off. So we chucked it. Well, Avrie hasn't thrown up since. I hate it when those kind of things happen in public. We had a good day after that though.They got tons of candy

All the kids. Annie wouldn't cooperate with me that's why I don't have a picture of her by herself. She was totally pouting before I snapped this picture. She gave a smile for the picture then continued pouting. What a little stinker.

Having fun


Hope you all had a fun Halloween!

Happy Birthday Katie bug!

Happy Birthday Katelyn. I can't believe your 10.

Story Telling Festival!

Yesterday Katelyn and Tyler participated in their school story telling festival. They had to pick a book of their choice, memorize it, add actions and tell the story in front of parents and judges. They both picked a mystery book because my kids like scary things like me. :) The judges picked two people to go to the finals. Tyler was picked as an alternate which means if someone is unable to do it, Tyler fills in for them. They both did such a good job and I'm very proud of them.
