How can you not love the holidays, making cookies, decorating the house, holidays dresses, and the spirit of giving, and my favorite two excited little girls!

Holidays 2009
Visiting Santa
If this doesn't look like the real Santa, I don't know who does. This was the sweetest Mr. and Mrs. Claus. They didn't make us feel rushed and really listened to what the girls wanted for Christmas, Stuffed Dogs and Vet kits. They posed for several pictures and gave the girls really neat candy canes. My favorite was it didn't cost and dime and the girls got to enjoy the Ogden christmas village, and roast smores. This was such a fun night to get the family in the spirit of the season.
A great day for a Snowman!
I was so impressed that Skye made this snowman all by herself! It actually was quite sturdy and lasted for several days. Too bad the dog ate the carrot nose shortly after.
Twin Permissionals
Is it bad to say that I'm a little jealous of the relationship these two adorable girls have? I have to laugh because at times they like to dress and look alike and when they do, they call it "Twin Permissionals", whatever that means exactly I am uncertain. Skye did both their hair the same, I am surprised at how long it was. This was taken at the beginning of the holiday season in their matching Christmas PJ's.
Basketball
Skye had such a good time this winter playing Jr. Jazz. She was the only girl on her team, actually out of all the games she played there was only one other girl on a different team, and let's just say she was an extreme tomboy. Who knew that girls didn't jump at the opportunity to play basketball. Skye had such a great time and she had a very supportive team. I'm certain she will try it again next season. She also got tickets to go see a actual Jazz game. Her dad was suppose to take her, but he unfortunately was suffering, literally, from the swine flu. I didn't mind filling in, I love a good Jazz game. Hopefully she and her dad will have another opportunity in the future.

Another Day Away
Like I said before I am spoiled that my husband takes the girls so I can spend time away. For my birthday my friend Dannie took me to one of my most favorite places, American Fork Canyon. It was so beautiful and a little cold with the first snow. Fall is my favorite time of the year and seriously I could not have asked for a better birthday!
Charli starts Preschool
Charli was really excited about Preschool this year, and has such a wonderful and sweet teacher, Ms. Diamond. I have been really happy with the school we chose for her and it's been fun to see how she has blossomed. There is no one quite like Charli, she never seizes to amaze us with her large personality. I honestly never know what she is going to say, and literally cannot be shocked with the attitude and whit she displays. She brings such spice to the family. I asked her teacher how her large personality is in school and she says she teases with her teacher and is always upbeat, but never acts out or is disrespectful. I still sometimes can't believe what a little spitfire she is, she was the most easy going, quiet little infant and toddler, I would have never suspected her to be how she is now.
First day of First Grade!
I was so sad to send my little girl to school for a full day. If I could keep them little I think I would. I cannot believe how much she has grown this year alone. I have not been able to keep her in clothes that fit for the first time in her life. She has become quite the little reader and writer. She has matured so much and really helps when it comes to her family. She is rather shy and had a hard time feeling comfortable and making friends. Well, her best friend is a little boy named Isaac. He is a good head shorter than her, and she talks about him constantly. I joke with her and tell her to stay away from boys named Isaac, they are trouble. I am happy to see she has made such a good friend and has grown to love school this year.
Summer of 2009
I think this was one of the most enjoyable summers to date with the girls. We spent many mornings at the pool for swimming lessons, and lazy afternoons in the backyard enjoying watermelon. It really doesn't get much better than this!
A moment in Yellowstone
The summer of 2009 was crazy busy around our house. Isaac and I literally had to pencil in on the calendar time to see each other and spend quality family time. Luckily we were able to get a few days together last minute and headed to Yellowstone. We were able to get last minute reservations through my parents timeshare, which is pretty unheard of during the month of August. Yellowstone was busy, but we were able to get away from the crowds and take a beautiful hike. I cannot recall the name of the trail we took, but it was really fun, and I love that our girls enjoy the outdoors just as much as we do. We were even able to see Old Faithful go off from a distance on our hike to this particular waterfall. It was even more nice just spending a few days as a family. Let us hope that this summer allows for us to see more of one another.
Running
In May I took on this crazy idea of running. I never had ran for enjoyment before, and surprisingly I really enjoyed it. Isaac was really excited and started putting us in 5k's. Well come late summer I couldn't figure out why my runs kept getting harder and harder instead of easier. Surprise to me baby three was brewing.

Baby Cravings
This was such a fun night. I am so fortunate to have such life long friends. I still have friendships with the girls I played with as far back as five years old. All of us got together and had dinner, with the exception of Jenny, she had more important things to do, like give birth! After dinner a few of us couldn't resist going to see Jenny and the new baby. Can I just tell you this made me so baby hungary. I pretty much had giving up on the possibility of number three, little did I know the fortune that was heading my way. I like to think of baby Eli as a little good luck charm.
Charli Turns Four
This was such a fun party. Charli wanted a Shark birthday and once again at the water park. The party started out with beautiful weather and before long we could see the black cloud rolling in. We decided to push things along and we barely completed the cake eating in time for the massive down poor we all got stuck in. We frantically cleaned up as best we could. Let just say this was a birthday Charli most likely won't forget. Sadly in the mist of the frantic clean up my camera was dropped in large running puddle and has never been the same since.
