Winter Olympics

Today at Pre-School Ayden and her class participated in the Winter Olympics. She said they had lots of fun, but could only remember the sledding part of their day.

Ayden enjoys Pre-School so much, she loves all the kids in her class and she loves her teachers. I am so impressed with Ayden, she can recite the Pledge of Allegiance on her own. Her favorite past time at home, is to play school.

She also thought it was so cool that they got to wear all of their "snow gear" to school and wore it the whole day... she is so easy to please:)

Sad day

Today, we got a sad email from my sister in law. The email was to tell us that their wonderful dog, Tasia died yesterday. Their kids were/are so heart broken. They buried her and had a funeral for her.

I told Ayden that our dog, Oakley, now has a friend in heaven. She said, "howcome?" I told her that Tasia died and went to Heaven, now Tasia and Oakley can play together. Ayden said, " that's good, because we need friends in heaven."

Kids are so sweet! And that's the truth, we all will want and need friends in heaven!

Stuff..!

We hope everyone had a fun holiday season! The time went by quickly, but I am very happy to have our "normal" life start again.

Our Christmas was fun, Jon was at the F.D. Ayden and Addi were lucky to have Santa deliever their presents at G-ma and G-pa Leavitt's house this year.

During the holiday we were so busy (wasn't everyone?), it was crazy but a ton of fun! We went to movies, sledding, hung out with family and friends and played games and of course watched football (GO UTES)!!

On New Year's eve, we hung out with our friends. Ate and played games..good times as always, thanks Whitney's! Jon had to miss out on that night too, he was working.

Ayden goes back to school tomorrow, she has been asking everyday when it is time to see Miss Jan and Miss Lori??

We hope 2009 is a wonderful year for everyone!!

Classic Christmas Party

My Mom and Dad planned a Christmas party at Classic Skating for us. We went yesterday from 2:30-6:00. Classic was crazy busy. Although when we were leaving around 6:00 it had cleared out. We ate pizza, ice cream, breadsticks, candy. We had a Karoake contest ( My sister in law and I won), roller skated, played in the bounce houses. We had a great time! The kids were in heaven, they had a blast doing everything! After Classic we went to my Mom's and ate yummy sandwiches and chili and more treats.

Game Night

Last month, Jon and I hosted a game night with a group of our friends. It was a Blast! It is always fun to hang out but adding our husbands to the mix, takes it to another level!!!
I really hope we can keep this up (hint hint)!
Jon was in charge of taking pictures:

J looks totally thrilled!

Disneyland!

Wow, our Disneyland trip is over! Time sure flies by. I didn't blog on my trip, due to our hotel charged to use the internet and it was not cheap. I actually was too tired each night to blog anyway.

The weather was pretty good, it was a little chilly, but not bad, as long as you had a jacket. There was more people there this year than last. Still can't complain, we didn't have to wait too long for the rides.

Ayden was so great driving!! She didn't complain or whine once. (I was impressed). Addi did pretty good, on the way to CA. she was whiny, on the way home she did really well. We were happy that G-ma Judy and G-pa Al got to come with us. Ayden sure loved having her G-parents there.
BEWARE: a ton of pictures!
