No Supervision

Something is so wrong with riding the animals in the Nativity...Really wrong climbing on baby Jesus...Really, Really wrong taking pictures of all of this.  I was not the adult who was supervising...but the supervising adult does get some pretty good pics!

Brody must be excited that this is the place where all the magic started...

New Thanksgiving Tradition

 We have only had this tradition for 2 years...but I think it will be fun in a couple of years to look back.  It was fun just to see what we wrote last year.  We take a white table cloth and at Thanksgiving we draw or write with sharpies what we are thankful for...including our name and year.  Eventually, it is supposed to be used as a Thanksgiving Table cloth and a great conversation starter.

Brody...I am thankful for Mom.  The brown thing coming out of my head is my ponytail and the two circles under my chin is my bra.  Don't act like this won't be a funny table conversation in a few years. 

Sydney....I am thankful for my family.  She is holding hands with Brody which is very humorous since they have the hardest time getting along.

 Carly...Basically grateful for everything and all we do for her.

Taylor...Grateful for some teenage things.  I am glad she is grateful for Justin Bieber and not Mom and Dad.  He has done so much for her in 2012.

Scott...I guess trying to convince himself to be grateful to be old.

 Me...grateful my parent teacher conferences are pleasant.

This is how full it is after 2 years...space for many more years.

Halloween

Thor...I had to bribe him to wear a "girls" wig.

(Ward award-winning) 80's girl with my New Kids on the Block t-shirt.

 Stole a couple of walkers from my Dad's nursing home for these Grandma's.

 Their favorite part was their big booty...It is funny until that booty is real.

Syd needed some oxygen and a quick rest after shaking her booty.

Halloween 2012 

Political Pumpkin

Scott's political pumpkin this year.

BYU @ Notre Dame

They made it and no missiles were released during their flight.

I wondered why the game tickets were a little expensive...now I know why.  I just thought inflation.  No...He wanted front row seats.  I guess he has a little more money to spend than he did 20 years ago on student tickets.  

  I have to apologize to the Cougs...they did not get spanked.  Just barely lost to a great team.  

Missiles

Brody is going on his first airplane ride today.  He asked me how many missiles his plane will have. 

Where is he going?   BYU football game with Dad

In Utah?  Nope...all the way to Notre Dame in Indiana.   

Go Cougs...or maybe Go Irish because I think the Cougs are going to get spanked.

Sock Bun

My girls are obsessed with the sock bun.  Taylor probably wears it the most, but everyone loves it.  I have at least one girl wear one each day.  People don't believe that it is really a sock...it is.

Here's Carly rockin' the sock bun.

We are even going to use it for some Halloween costumes this year...old ladies.
