Thanksgiving and BSU game!

We had a good Thanksgiving! I worked the night before and Aunt Vanessa drove down and played with the girls and spent the night. Thanksgiving day I slept in until noon and Zach played in the ward Turkey Bowl and had a blast! Vanessa watched cartoons with the girls. Then we drove down to Aunt Shabree's house for Dinner. It was delicious I love Eddy's stuffing and Val's rolls. (I forgot my camera) We played lots of games and had a good time visiting and Sydney played in the hot tub too! I woke up at 3:15 on Black Friday and went shopping at Walmart and got exactly what I needed for the girls and didn't even have to fight for it. I am now done with the girls christmas shopping! YEAH! Then I came home and slept in. Zach worked half a day and then we drove to Boise and went to the final BSU/FRESNO GAME!(Thank you Shabree for watching Mallory) It was fun but cold! We had lots of family at the game and Sydney even came and really got into it!!! After the game we went to Applebees for dessert with my sisters and our friends the Hawkley's. Saturday our friends the Sessions stopped by and we played and visited and then went to lunch. Back to real life now! I am so thankful for our good jobs and wonderful family and my sweet girls and for my party animal husband ZACH!

JOURNAL ENTRY NO PICTURES

The last two weeks have flown by! We relaxed last weekend and some friends over to play games and eat yummy food with us. I went to dinner with some girlfriends Monday without kids or hubbies and that was enjoyable. We had preschool at our house Tuesday and Thursday this week and I am glad my turn is over. The kids are so cute and well behaved except Sydney was awful. She wouldn't follow directions or do her work and just wanted to lay around or play with Mallory. I didn't know what to do with her. It is hard to do 8 crafts with the kids when they can't really cut yet or glue yet and so I do it all. When it was all over I locked the door and then I picked up vacuumed, moped and put a band aid on my hand where I snipped it making crafts. Maybe I don't know how to use scissors either. Thursday was busy after cleaning the house I taught a class at the hospital and then played city volleyball ......and then I drove to Burley with some friends and went to the midnight show of TWILIGHT!!!! IT WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE AND I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! I want to go see it again on a date with Zach. I almost have him convinced to read it. I am working this weekend but haven't worked very much lately and it has been nice. Our friend Anthony came down with his two girls to hang out with Zach while I worked. They have been playing Madden, and watching football and making yummy lasagna and fajitas to eat. PS I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT THANKSGIVING!

DISNEY ON ICE WEEKEND!

We went to Disney on Ice Saturday morning with the girls and they loved it! Their faces show that it was worth every penny! They had a little bit of everything and the girls really loved the princesses. Zach and Scott liked Pinochio jumping into gepetto's arms and the Lion King's very tight costumes! he he The ice skating was hard to capture clear pictures but we got a few. I really liked the it's a small world light effects and Rachelle liked the Avalanche effect from Mulan.
After the show the boys scalped cheap tickets and watched the 2nd half of the BSU game on the blue turf and had a blast! The girls headed over to the Hawkley's for a BBQ and the kids ran around and played. Then the girls and half the kids went to the Mall and spent over an hour in Forever 21!!! HEAVEN!!! Then we shopped a little more and the boys called and said they were enjoying watching all the Saturday football without us so they would get pizza and we should go to Olive Garden. YEAH! Perfect way to end a fun day! We went to pick up the boys and the games were finally over and they wanted to play the Wii for a while. So we drove home at about 10:30 that night but we were excited and talked all the way home about the fun time we had! Thanks Scott and Rachelle for letting us spend the night with you and the yummy breakfast! Thanks Hawkley's for the BBQ and letting us all chill at your house! Vanessa we had fun with you too!

Viva la Mexico!!!

It's is back to real life this week. Zach and I got back Saturday from a week of fun and relaxation in Cancun! We had a good time and celebrated our 8th anniversary! We haven't been on a vacation by ourselves since before we had kids!!! Thanks Shabree and family for all your help with the girls so we could go!!! We don't know how to repay you. Thanks Valerie and Eddie for the timeshare!


We ate twice a senor frogs. Once in the afternoon on the terrace and then one night in the dance club. We won the couples dance contest!!! We also did the electric slide which I still remembered from high school!

The view out of our balcony at the beach of our Resort. It was kind of rainy during the week but Friday we layed on the beach and played in the waves from 10am to 5pm! We finally relaxed,tanned,read our books and body surfed!


Monday we went to Xacaret a park and snorkled in the ocean and an underwater river. We got caught in a huge rainstorm and were soaked! We still had our swim suits on so it wasn't too bad. So we just hung out at a buffet and ate for about 2 hrs until it stopped raining. There were lots of animals at the park, including a butterfly sanctuary and huge sea turtles.





Here are a few pictures of the evening show of dancers from Mexico! I thought it was "Muy Fantastico!"



We rented a car Thursday and drove around to three different Mayan Ruin sites. Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum. We hiked alot and climbed to the top of Coba's Pyramid.







Where's Waldo can you see me?

PUMPKINS!!!!!

Sydney's preschool and some friends went on a field trip to a nursery where they had a cute pumpkin area. They had a hay tower to climb, a small hay maze, rides for the kids and games. The girls had a blast playing and I loved the pictures I got!
