White Christmas (hopefully)

Even though, I don't really like snow it was nice to wake up this morning to snow and it has snowed all day. Hopefully, it doesn't rain or all of a sudden get warm and melt before Christmas day. Kaleigh, Hagen, and Sidney went and played in it for a while and had a ton of fun. Until they got too cold. Friday, the 17th, was the last day of school until next year and they had their Christmas sing program. Hagen was a cute reindeer singing Rudolph.
Kaleigh's class sang the perfect song. "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth". Kaleigh had just lost the first of her two front teeth.

For family home evening we made a Lowes build and grow project and it was really cute watching the kids get all dressed up to put together their Kaleidoscopes. Sid, especially since she had her goggles up side down and wouldn't let us fix it for her.

You can tell I haven't blogged in a while, I am usually better at posting on a regular basis. Here is the pix of my cute kiddo's in front of the Christmas tree that they had decorated the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Jazz Game Suprise

So, on Monday we were given tickets by Nuskin to go to the Jazz game. I wasn't so excited to go but was willing since it would be a night with out any kids and a good date. To our suprise, when we got the ticket we found out that is was a club 100 ticket. At that time I had no idea what that meant. We got to eat at the Club 100 buffet (the food was amazing) and during half time we got to go into the club 100 half time room for drinks and all kinds of snacks. I think the best part of it was that we were sitting 2 rows from the court next to the basket. You could see the sweat dripping from the players. It was a lot of fun, thanks NuSkin!
This was our view of the court from our seats

Snow!!

So this is Kaleigh's creation, her snowman. He is probably one foot tall. On Saturday night it snowed, this isn't from the supposed blizzard that we were supposed to get and didn't. She we so excited to get home from church and eat lunch so that she could go outside and build her first snowman for the year. Sidney was a good helper!
This pix is a little more blury than I thought. Kaleigh had a Thanksgiving program in her class. She was super cute and did great reading her lines.

Operation Dry Wall

Tonight we started the process of replacing the drywall in Hagen's room. When a thumb tack falls out of the wall, you start to realize something is wrong. We have been meaning to do it for awhile but now that Sheldon and Julie have moved out, now is perfect since the room is already empty. The kids made every effort to make sure they helped. The kept saying that the needed to work hard so that dad wouldn't give up (not that he would).

Sidney was helping Jared push the mattresses up the stairs or at least she thought she was. kaleigh and Hagen helped take the drywall pieces to the garage. Kaleigh wanted to get the biggest piece every chance she could.
I think that all that pushing on the mattress wore this little one out. She made a bed for herself and her baby and very quickly fell asleep.

Hagen helping vacuum all the small pieces left on the floor.

A little clean up and then on Saturday we can start hanging dry wall. I am looking forward to having this room back together so that I can get Hagen in his own room and most the toys out of the family room.

BYU vs. UNLV

Jared was given 3 tickets to the BYU game this last Saturday. I am not a football fan, so I didn't want to go. I told him he could go and I would watch the kids. Jared was an awesome dad and wanted to take his kids instead of inviting friends. The kids loved it. Kaleigh came home singing cheers and songs and asking when they get to go again. Hagen was a little bored. He had fun, but was definately ok with going home at half time.

Halloween 2010

We had a fun halloween this year. First we went to a ward fall party where we ate chili, pie, and had a trunkertreat for the kids. Then we went tricker treating with Grandma and Grandpa Sylvester and Sheldon, Julie and Jace. The kids got too much candy. I think I gained 5 pounds this past week with all the soda and candy I have consumed. The kids are still as skinny as can be and they have eaten more candy than I. After we finished tricker treating we went to a party at a friends house in their barn. It was a fun night, but we were so tired the next day.

Extremely Busy Week

So, here it is. We finally had our 20 week ultrasound. Seems like it took forever to finally get to this point, and now it is here I hope the next five months go really really fast. This little BOY was quite the poser for us. We got some great pictures and he is measuring exactly where he needs to and looks quite healthy. Hagen told the technician doing the ultrasound the baby's name is Wolverine. We got a kick out of that. Still working on a name.Gotta love school Halloween parties. Today was the day. I signed up to be the room mom in Kaleigh's class this year, since Sidney is finally old enough to be somewhat behaved when we go into the school. It was a lot of work, as if I needed something else to do this week, but really a lot of fun and I also enjoy being able to get to know the kids in the class.

Hagen is Bumble Bee and Kaleigh is Hannah Montana
We also carved pumpkins. Kids had a ton of fun. Didn't really like getting dirty but they love being able to see their pumpkins lit on the front steps.
