Temple Square

I have a lot of catching up to do, but for now here is one post. We have a tradition of going to see the lights at Temple Square every year with our friends Jimmy and Sara. This year mom had to bring Nicole, a previous foreign exchange student, to the airport to fly back home. So they ended up going with us on a freezing cold Sunday night. We didn't stay as very long because Ayla and Sara's little girl, Charlotte, were getting too cold. I got a new camera for my birthday and found this awesome function on it where you can choose a color in the shot that you want to be the only color in the picture and the rest goes black and white. I got Jordan to get this awesome pic of the temple and a tree with red lights by it. I just love it. I think I might get it blown up to hang in my house. The others are some pics of all of us and some of the lights.

Random pics

Lily likes to rub her head, maybe because her hair is finally starting to come in. She loves to pull hair, hence the reason I just chopped mine off. I figure that is why she does it to herself because she finally feel her hair. Anyway, Ayla thought she had hurt her head. I was busy doing something and then all of a sudden I hear Ayla say, "There, all better." I turned around to find this.
Pics at Heather's house. Hunter and Ayla love playing together.

Happy 1st B-day Lily!

I can't believe my baby is already 1. The year just flew by. I made her a ladybug cake, but only had neon dye for the frosting. Ayla had been calling it a Lilybug so that is what we decided it was. I was afraid she would eat way too much of it because she loves food and will eat almost anything. Almost anything, but cake. She didn't care at all for the cake. Oh well. We had Jord's family over for dinner and cake. She got some new toys and pajamas to wear. We would have had more pics, but had the video camera going instead. Lily is such a cutie and we love her all. Happy birthday sweetheart.

Halloween

Here are some pics of my cute little girls. This year Ayla was a vampire and Lily was a bat. We would have taken more pics, but the camera batteries died.

Football

So last night Jord and I were sitting down to watch some tv and relax. We turned the tv on and sunday night football was on. Ayla said that she wanted to watch football. She thinks every football team that plays is the wildcats. We told her we weren't going to watch football. She was pretty adamant about it. So she went in to our bedroom, turned on the tv, and proceeded to watch football by herself on my bed. I can't believe a 3-year-old would choose to watch football by herself. I went in to check on her at one point and they were reviewing a play. She looks at me and says, "That was a touchdown." She is such a character.

Time on the road is tough

So I've been on the road for about 9 days with about 9 days to go. I'm missing Jenn and the girls really bad. I love playing music for a living, but it is a really, really hard thing to be away from my sweet girls. I come to this blog each day to see their cute faces. Jenn sends me picture txt's as well so I can keep up. But nothing is the same as being with the people you love.

Keeley Jo

Keeley came into town yesterday. She called when they were leaving the airport. She hadn't met Lily yet and could not wait until Thursday to see them. I wish I could say it was me she couldn't wait to see, but I understand. Once you have kids you are always the last to get a hi and a hug. Can't wait to hang out with you on Thursday Keeley Jo!
