Tristan has been dying to make these! Today before the party she made enough for all the kids to have a few.
She did the whole thing on her own. Esher was her personal assistant.
We just love this girl!!!
We were not in charge of this party but we were asked to take a few pictures. We had a wonderful turn out!
Every party we have ever had you can always count on Brent to make a goofy face. My love had a whole section in the Christmas video he made of Brent's Many Faces throughout the last three years.
Brent and his beautiful wife Tammy
Collette was asked to be an angel in the Manger Scene.
Esher was a sheep.
Asher was a Wiseman.
Santa came to tell them the story of Christ’s Birth
The finale was the video my Sweet Love worked on all day-it turned out Awesome!! Jared and I had tears at one point.
This is Brent & Tammy’s reaction to the section of Brent’s goofy faces.
It was a wonderful party!! We do love our ward so much!!
For weeks she has wanted to take Sebastian to school for Show & Tell. Since he loves kids, and the more they squeal and squirm the more he wants to lick them, he turned out to be quite the handful! Okay, HE WAS TERRIBLE!! He wouldn’t stay, he kept trying to lick all the kids, and would only listen when Tristan had a treat in her hands. Despite all this, everyone loved him and kept talking about how beautiful he is. I have video of Tristan trying to get him to do his tricks, but only these two pictures. She really wants to bring him again. I think next time My Love should come since Sebastian listens to him much much better.
Our beautiful princess wakes up at 7 am every Tuesday and Thursday to make it to choir practice. Once she gets there she is happy she went but before we leave the house all she does is complains. One of the main reasons she loves it is that her best friend Emma is also in choir.
Jannette, our friend, is one of the pianist-she is amazing!!!
Zoe sat with us during the performance. She and Tristan are such wonderful friends!
Tristan was so excited to see some of her old classmates. She misses them all so much now that she is in a new school. I joked with her and told her she could switch back if she wanted. She thought about it all night-I didn’t know it. Hours later she said “But Mom if I switch, all of my new friends will really miss me.” She really does love her new school.
Paris is thinking about quitting for next semester. She does so many other things it would really make my life a lot easier,not exactly what being a stay at home mom is all about,but I will definitely miss hearing her sing.
My Wonderful Love has been working extra jobs this year for us to pay for Christmas. He is working for Kaleidoscope Pictures on a photo-shoot. He is loving it. He did all the work on the computers that hold the software they are using for the shoot. We are VERY blessed to have such a wonderful provider for our family and the opportunity for this extra money!!!
My Love went to school with Paris this morning to have a 1 hour Read A Thon. My Love said that every student had someone to read with that morning. The Provo Mayor and news crew even showed up.
HE IS SUCH A WONERFUL DADDY & HANDSOME!!!!!
My Love has been working long crazy hours for the last week& a half, so when he came home early (7:30pm- I know, that’s no where near most people’s “early”) the kids and I were ecstatic! They all played a quick game o f Jr. Yatzee while I marveled at the incredible blessing of this amazing family we have!!!!
Today is the day that our living room couches finally all match-yeah!
It has been 8 years since Jo Ann wanted us to buy new furniture for the living and now it has finally happened. Our first new set of couches went up to the theater. That was our main TV so I really wanted comfy couches there. A couple years later we bought new couches for the downstairs family room-our new TV place. Jo Ann was not very happy about that at all. She wanted our front room to look beautiful, but we never sit in the front room. I told her that if people are coming over and judging us from our front room décor those are the kind of people I don’t want coming over to our home.
I put this extra chair in our kitchen. I have wanted something her in this corner for-ever,but I couldn’t figure out what I could put here. Everyone sits in it while I am cooking dinner to talk to me- I just love it!!!
So now, the living room is complete and Jo Ann will be so excited because we finally have a presentable living room!!!
I hope this next year is the year for new carpet!!! 2 years ago we were suppose to get it but my Love got his pay cut. I’m hoping this next year we can use our tax money to get it and then it will REALLY be complete!!!
When we got home from church today, Sebastian was nowhere to be found. He usually runs up to us so excited to see us. Not today. This was why. He waited at the top of the stairs until we called for him. Even then, it took him a minute to build up his courage to slowly crawl down the stairs. He knew he was going to get it from dad. He has never done anything like this before. He must be going through his rebellious teenage years.
When everyone went out on poop patrol his punishment was to stay inside. He really wasn’t happy about that one. He whimpered and cried the whole time.
The kids are surprisingly good about cleaning up Sebastian's poop. My Love always tries to help. He is SUCH A GREAT DAD!!!!
Esher loves to lay on Sebastian while he watches TV. Sebastian is so good about it! Yes, I do love this dog!
