oops forgot Thanksgiving and other happenings!

I got to paint ALL my little girls toes, it was so fun! They love getting nails painted!



We got all the Christmas decorations up and the tree. Tori got to put the star on this year (good thing Steve's been working out! She is about... what 40 pounds now????!)


Reese is getting big too fast! She has only one tooth and isnt crawling yet, but she still manages to scoot and roll around to where she wants to go.


Steve finally got a car that wasnt a thousand years old or issues. He is SOOO happy and loves his car. Perfect for commuting to Boise everyday!





We had our own little family Thanksgiving this year because Steve always has to work Wed. and Friday. It was a lot of fun and Steve and I have always wanted to have our own Thanksgiving. We love being with family and friends but its nice to have these times to start new traditions and grow closer. It was fun! Its so funny because I always think Im going to have to cook all this stuff, but Steve always come on in and starts cooking like he owns the joint. JK! He loves helping me and I love him helping me...that way if something doesnt turn out he cant blame it all on me ;). Ha!

Tori's 3rd Birthday!

Tori's birthday was on a Wednesday this year so both Sydney and Steven went to school (unwillingly....they thought since it was Tori's birthday they should have the day off....haha YEAH RIGHT!) But we did let her open her present before they left. Then I needed to get my hair cut so we all went and Steve took the little girls next store and got hot chocolate and cookies. Then we went and picked up Tori's PINK cake (because everything HAS to be PINK these days...she even asked if we could make her skin pink......hmm) So then we took her down the street to Jumpin' Jungle. She LOVED all the one on one attention from both of us. And it was pretty nice just to focus on her for half the day. When it was time to go get the kids from school we picked them up and headed to Texas Roadhouse (Tori's birthday dinner request). After dinner we came home sang Happy Birthday and ate cake. Tori was so tired that night that she went straight to sleep!

Snow Day!

It snowed here the other day about 8 inches!! It was so awesome. They even canceled school which is rare around here. The kids and I went outside (except Tori and Reese) and built a snowman. Steve still had to work. It took him an hour and a half to get work which usually only takes 30 min. We had lots of FUN!
