Student of the Month !

I can't begin to tell you how proud we are of our sweet girl. Presley was awarded student of the month for the whole kindergarten (8 kindergarten classes) at her school. The character trait of the month was "self discipline". I asked her what she had to do to earn that award and she told me "I just do a good job of keeping my hands to myself"...lol. We sure do love this peanut and she is growing up too fast.

Knox's new hair cut...

Knox's hair was getting rather wild so I decided I would try and trim it up. Not such a good idea, but I stopped before it would be really bad and we would have to shave it. So friday I was home with all the kids and my car had a flat tire so I called a good friend to see if she would take Knox to get his hair cut at the barber that her husband goes to. I wanted it fixed before church on sunday. He came back looking so handsome, though looking like a mini me of my friends husband with the same haircut...lol. So funny. So yesterday knox went to the bathroom and took a little longer than usual. I wasn't concerned until I went in to have a shower and saw hair on the floor. After I got out he came in and had "added" to his hair cut...lol. He had climbed up and gotten Bry's beard trimmer and hacked away. Love that kid :)

The handsome before :)

And the addition...

Snow Storm 2011 !

We had out first snow fall of 2011. It was actually a significant snow fall for the south. We got about 8 inches ! Everyone was excited about the snow and we did lots of sledding and 4 wheeling. Presley was out of school for the whole week...which was fun but hard to find things to entertain her. We did lots of reading stuff for school :). Maryn really enjoyed the snow. She was tiny last winter in Utah so this is the first one that she has been able to enjoy.

Presley did this all by herself...

Our snow angel...haha

Happy New Year !

Well we didn't do much this new years eve. We wanted to do something with the kids so we stayed in. We had gotten some party things for them and let them stay up as late as they wanted. They lasted until 10:30 :). Its okay though since we went to a New Years party at the Creative Discovery Museum with them at noon to have an early party with a bunch of other kids. It was too packed so we left early and went and had lunch at the Mellow mushroom, ice cream from coldstone, and played on a play ground by the river. They had lots of fun and so did we :)

New Sweaters...

The kids did Christmas at my good friend Shelly's house this year on the 23rd. She was so sweet and got them a ton of stuff. They were so happy. So here they are modeling their new sweaters from "Aunt" Shelly :).

Oh Knox !

What are we going to do with this wild man ?! He makes us laugh everyday ! I had told him no candy for today. he hadn't complained, my niece was over and busy playing school with Pres in the other room and Knox was missing from my sight for about 10 minutes. I assumed he was playig school. He walked back into the living room and had chocolate all over his face. I mean nose to chin all over :)

Me "Knox is that chocolate all over your face ?"

Knox " What this chocolate ?" (pointing to his face)..."oh this is from a longtime ago"

I could not stop laughing. He is crazy !

30 !

WHAT ! I turned 30 ! I am surprisingly not as depressed as I thought I would be :)...I am super optimistic of what I can accomplish in my 30's and have no regrets of the things that I did in my

20's. So here's to a new decade full of fun and maturity...lol...ok ok maybe not the maturity part but lots of fun :) Love you all !
