...so be good for goodness sake!

Lexi has been begging me for the past week to take her to see Santa. We went yesterday and she was so excited. Caden, as you can see, wasn't too thrilled. He was fine sitting by the snowman, but sitting on Santa's lap was too much for him. Lexi told Santa that she wants a jump rope. As soon as she was done sitting on his lap, she told me every present that she forgot to tell Santa she wanted. She now wants to go back and tell Santa all that she forgot to say. I'm sure that we'll be back to see him again soon. Aren't the holidays fun?

Temple Lights

On Friday night we went to see the temple lights. The kids had a lot of fun. Lexi was really interested in the nativity story and kept asking questions the whole time. It is fun to see her start to understand the story and understand why we celebrate Christmas. Caden had fun running around and having mommy or daddy try and keep up with him.

With the holidays getting nearer, that means christmas cards will be sent out soon! If you have moved or for some reason I may not have you on my list, leave me a comment with your address if you want our family to send you a card!

Bachelor Blowout!

Okay, so I'll admit I'm a Bachelor fan. I thought Brad was the best bachelor yet. He seems to have it all right? Wrong! If anyone saw the finale last night they know what I'm talking about. So he had two beautiful women to choose from, which he said he had strong feelings for both, and yet it comes down to the "final" rose ceremony and he disses both Dianna & Jenny. I am so mad! He could have at least chosen one for the fans sake, even if he didn't propose and just chose one to date! I mean come on. I'm so disappointed. I liked him so much until last night. Well, I guess I'll have to watch the after the final rose tonight to see what he has to say for himself. I feel so bad for the sweet girls. Well I guess we know now why Brad is still a bachelor and probably always will be.

So Much Fun!!!

Okay, so I've been given some grief because I like changing my blog template pretty frequently. Well, I figured out how to create my own template and it is actually a lot of fun. It took me a few tries, but I figured it out and it's not to difficult. If anyone wants to create their own template go to http://sjhblogdesign.blogspot.com/ She gives fairly easy step-by-step directions. Thanks to shabbyprincess.com for my papers. So if I continue to change up my blog every so often, don't be surprised. What fun would life be if we didn't change things once in a while anyways?

So Long...

Yesterday it was a bitter sweet day. Clint sold one of the loves of his life...his jeep. For months he's been talking about how excited he was to get rid of it and we've been waiting for the weather to cool down to sell it. It wasn't until it was actually gone last night that it hit him. He wouldn't have anymore late night rides with the top down and no more "dirt road" rides with Lexi. (She would always ask daddy to take her in the jeep with the windows down. She loved it almost as much as he did.) I keep telling him that maybe some day he can buy himself another Jeep!

Trick or Treat!

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Our kids had a fantastic time. Lexi was a witch. If you asked her what she was going to be she was always sure to tell you a GOOD witch. Caden was a pirate. The cutest pirate I've ever seen (even cuter than Jack Sparrow, and that's saying something!)

Lexi had to have the princess bucket and Caden had a skull that went right along with his costume. Aren't they cute?

Caden caught on to the hang of Trick or Treating really fast. As soon as he realized that people were giving him candy, he'd walk right up to anyone with a large bowl and try to grab a handful right from them. Most of them thought he was too cute and they let him have whatever he wanted. Which meant we ended up with a LOT of candy at our house!

This picture was taken on Saturday at our ward Trunk or Treat. The kids had a lot of fun.
