The afternoon before their flights left we went to The District to have lunch, do some shopping and ride the caresoul (which we didn't do because all the babies were asleep)

So here we are waiting for our table at the Cheese Cake Factory

Here is Krew drinking the ranch out of the little pitcher thing.

I sat by cute little Ty, who just cracks me up. I kinda look like I am crying in this picture... but I was laughing... kinda.
I had so much fun with all the girls, even if there were more kids than adults! I love you all and can't wait to do another girls vacation.

Here we are trying to play a game....

The little girls wanted to give massages...

Meika decided she wanted her feet massaged.

Meika was helping Kim stretch, Kim and I went and worked out both mornings and it was so fun... I miss having my big sister around so I was soaking in every second I had with her. ( Meggan did join us one morning, she was fully dressed so she pretended to lift weights and showed us some of her kick-boxing)

Last week all but one of my sisters &my mom came to town for a little girl vacation.... but mainliy because I am always bugging them about coming to visit me! I had so much fun, I love all my sister and sister-in-laws so much and felt so blessed to have them come for those few days to hang out with us! We did a lot of eating and spent lots of time at town sqaure enjoying the playground and the yummy yogurt at yogurtland.

Here are all the kids on the catepillar, all the little girls are wearing matching shirts.

Bath Time! Krew was already in his PJ's but wanted to be in the picture so is there sitting on the ground.

One night we tried to play a game but the kids were being a little wild, Reagan was trying to escape.....

Ty Found Sienna's tutu and was putting on a show... we were all dying laughing.

My First VERY Complicated Shopping Trip

I am sorry that I am so boring and keep posting about my grocery shopping trips, but every time I go I am just so amazed. I was really nervous for this shopping trip because it was a bit confusing and I knew it would take me a while at the cash register. But it really wasn't TOO bad, it started off actually really fun, the lady checking me out kept saying how proud she was of me!:) I was warned to left people know if they got in line behind you that you would be a while and to maybe go to a different line... so I did... and the first few people did go to a different line....but then for some reason some girl decided not to listen to me and stayed in line behind me and so I did start getting a little frazzled and started feeling rushed. All together though I would say the trip was a success... thanks to Liz for watching my girls so I didn't have to chase them around!
So for the totals....drum roll please.....

Total Grocery Value: $252.49
Total Paid: $63.73

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!!?!!

One Of My Little Monkeys

Yesterday I was doing something and heard Sienna saying "mom................mom..........mom....." She wasn't yelling she was just saying it. So I ignored it thinking she was just talking, but she kept doing it. So I went to go find her and this is where I found her... stuck on top of the dresser! She had been there for maybe 8 minutes! I laughed so hard when I found her, because she knows she is not suppose to climb up there, but I didn't realize she didn't know how to get down, Meika must have been helping her down those other times! But I really thought this was so funny and told her if she climbed up there again she was have to stay up there all day... she didn't like that idea!

Christmas Continued

This picture is so funny, the little kids go tin the bath after skating (or something that made us all really cold) and while all of them were in the bath Ty Peed on Meika and Sienna. Kim, Meggan & I were dying Laughing!
Sienna, Krew, Meika & Ty

Here are the little ones running the the hall in the hotel singing something. ( the neighbors complained ALOT, but what can you do? They were having fun!)

Here are Meika & Sienna in their Christmas Dresses that Nana & Papa sent them... so cute!

This picture reminds me of a picture of me when I was little, she was whining about something. Mom do you know what picture I am talking about?

Christmas Summary

We had such a great Christmas and the main reason was that Daddy was with us! He is so busy going to school full time and working full time that we rarely get to see him, so we tried to enjoy every minute of being with him.

We had fun staying a couple nights in Salt Lake with my family, we went ice skating, to movies, to eat (love the Pie), and to Temple Square.

Here are the little kids on Christmas Eve they all got new pajamas and a teddy rexben (sp?)
