What We've Been Up To Lately

Man this time of year gets crazy. As prepared as I try to be, I still seem to be running around like a crazy woman sometimes. I wanted to post this stuff before Christmas because I am sure I will have alot to post after Christmas.

Emily recently figured out how to crawl out of her crib, so she has been impossible to get to sleep latelly. I was greatful she fell asleep in this chair watching Elmo until Darin decided to move her to her bed and she woke up. Note to self, never touch a sleeping Emily.

We attempted to decorate our Christmas tree. I was looking throught the pictures and saw that Abigail got her hands on the camera and she took this picture of the tree. I think the tree has about 10 ornaments left on it now. Every time an ornament comes off the tree, I just pack it away for the year that my kids can look and not touch.

It has been a cold and dry winter, which means alot of static electricity. Elizabeth seems to be a carrier of static because her hair frequently looks like this. Yes, she is still wearing her Halloween P.J.'s. Halloween must be her favorite holiday because everytime she sees something that is orange and black she says "pumpkin!"

We went to our ward Christmas dinner. I was pretty proud of these coordinating outfits. The girls were so cute, but of course I didn't get a good picture of them because no one would sit still long enough.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
