Disneyland

For Christmas my parents got us Annual Passes to Disneyland! Best present ever! We waited a total of 2 weeks before going! It was really busy, but the nice thing about those passes is your not in such a panic to get every ride in because your now you'll be back soon.
One of my favorite pictures of all time

My 3 little pumpkins
Grandpa Jim and Grandma Kayleen met us for half the day. The kids were really surprised!


The face paint kind of melted after they got soaked on Splash Mountain

Bedroom Revamping

The twins' got some new bedding for their birthdays from Grandma Terri and so I took this opportunity to change somethings around. Originally the girls had bunk beds and shared a room well the bunk beds were very exciting at first and then once the newness wore off they started fighting over who got to sleep on the bottom because they were to lazy to climb up to the top. I know right? Their room was just too small to have two beds in so we moved Jax into the guest room and now the girls share the jack & jill bedrooms. It has been fantastic because all their toys finally fit in each room!


New Year's

New Years Eve we had breakfast at The M and then Brock and I went out with some friends to dinner and were in bed before midnight. I think we've only stayed up one time since we've been married! Yep we're pretty boring!

Oh Peyton

So Christmas Break must of been a little too boring for Peyton because she decided she needed a change of hairstyle by cutting one side of her hair in very short choppy layers. Yes I was furious, devastated and just plain didn't know how to fix it. So I called on my good friend Bre to help me out and she ended up need some very heavy bangs but at least she looked like a normal little girl again and everyone actually has been telling me that they love them on her and how it's so much easier to tell the twins apart. Too bad they've already grown out enough that I can pull them back! haha! I guess I'm just not a bang girl. Thanks again Bre!

Christmas Twenty-Ten

We started a new tradition this year well actually its kind of a renewed tradition. We had Christmas Family Home Evening. It derives from Brock's side of the family. Every year his grandma and grandpa would have the whole family over and make sloppy joes, potato salad and red & green rice krispie treats. That has always been a favorite tradition of Brock's so we started our own this year. We also had Santa surprise the kids and join us. They loved it!
The Twins' had a fun Christmas Program at school. They are each in a different class and are doing fantastic! Their teachers tell me all the time how quiet and well mannered they are I threaten to bring a home video just so they can see what they put me through at home!


Santa Came!

Dancing With The Stars 2010

So early last year Brock landscaped the owners' of the dance studio's that Dancing With The Stars uses for their rehearsals. Brock failed to tell me until about six months later that Wayne Eng (the owner) had offered him tickets to the show several times. Well once I heard this I made Brock call him immediately and get us tickets and I invited my favorite ladies to come along. My mom was kind enough to let us use her plane to fly down to LA for an overnight trip.
We stayed at The SLS Hotel (where Khloe & Lamar lived after getting married.) My brother and I have been dying to stay there since it looked really cool, but it was a nightmare definitely do not recommend staying there.
We ate at The Grove and saw Anthony Geary from General Hospital and we were even interviewed by Mario Lopez for EXTRA!
Dang it I totally forgot to take pictures of us all dressed up for the show and we weren't allowed to bring cameras in the studio. But, it was really fun we were lucky enough to get to see the Semi Finals and got really great seats.

At Toast on 3rd the next morning.

Before we headed home we stopped by The Grove one last time and guess who was there! Derek Hough! He was so nice and even chatted with us about the show the night before.

Brock's 30th Birthday

For Brock's 30th we took him to a family fav Pole Position. Guys love go cart racing! We kept it pretty small with most of it just being family. Then the next night I threw him a surprise party. Unfortunately I didn't take one picture of that party! Dang it! It was a fun evening filled with fun people and even funnier stories!




Halloween 2010

I know once again I've not been keeping up on blogging. I went back and forth on whether I should try and catch up or just start with current events. Well I've decided to try and catch up so I don't have any big gaps in my blogging, but I'm probably just going to do a lot of pictures and let the titles say it all since obviously I'm missing a lot!

Carnival

When we found out the carnival was in town and just down the road we jumped at the opportunity to take the kids.

The Dragon Ride
I think the giant slides were the favorite the kids must of went up and down a hundred times!
And then on our way out we found out there were pony rides so of course the girls had to do that.
Peyton
Hailey
And poor Jax just wasn't as thrilled as his sisters...

Jax Turns 2! (Part I)

My precious little boy turned 2 on September 24 which also happened to be a race weekend in Surprise, AZ so we did both! My parents were kind enough to let us fly there on their jet and Jax's favorite thing lately is planes so he was more then thrilled to get to see one up close! He spots them in the sky and yells PANE MOM PANE! So cute!
When we got there Bryce came and picked the girls up on the moped. They love their Uncle Bryce!
Hailey and Peyton's favorite thing to do at the races is to help Sparky groove tires
That night we threw Jax a little Birthday Party. My mom got lots of SpongeBob decorations and I brought a Spongebob cake all the way from Vegas! He loves loves loves Spongebob so he was very excited! It was his first of 2 parties since all the family couldn't be there.



Our favorite friends from AZ came out for the day on Saturday with their kids and as you can see they had a blast! Thanks Liles' Family for always supporting us!
Bryce got two 3rds that weekend it was amazing!! I'm so proud of him!
Love this family photo of us! Just wish my dad was in it!
Some of things about Jax:
He loves playing with Cars
Planes
Balls
Legos
His sisters (who are his favorite people)
He loves riding his bicycle which he his getting pretty good at
Some of his favorite phrases are:
Where'd it go? I don't know?
Hi
Love you
NO
Mommy (he calls Brock that too)!
Thank You
See Ya
Vroom Vroom
He likes watching:
SpongeBob
Umi Zoomi
Scoob (Scooby Doo)
Bryce's race video's ( he will watch them for hours on the computer)

How different it has been to have a boy! Things are much more relaxed with him. He is night and day compared to the twins'. He does have a temper but at the same time is much more content. We are so blessed to have him in our family and love watching him grow and change everyday! Can't believe two years has gone by! Love you Jax!
