TaVaci Performance

Cooper is in a singing/performing arts group that he loves. They had their Christmas program this past weekend. He could not contain his excitement!

Ballet Recital

Brooklyn had a little recital. She was so excited and didn't even get nervous. All of my pictures turned out dark. Sad. But she was dang cute!

Visiting Andrea and Thanksgiving

I went to Colorado with my sister, Jenny, to visit my sis, Andrea and see her new little baby! It was so much fun but I forgot my camera. We mostly just hung around her apartment and took turns holding Aliyah. I loved being there without any responsibility! We did go to dinner and to see Twilight on the last night! It was so good. I'm so thankful that I have a super husband and mom who took care of the kids and even had the house clean when I got back!

Then we left the next day for Boise for Thanksgiving at Troy's aunt's house. His whole family was there so the kids were thrilled to see their cousins. I really didn't get many pictures but here are a few.

Now my children are obsessed with the Wii. They thought Rock Band was awesome. So did Troy. I'm in trouble because it's all they want for Christmas now!

The MTC

We took my brother Jed to the MTC a couple weeks ago. I really hate that place. Jed is one of Troy's best friends and my childrens' too! Because we live next to my parents', we are all extremely close and see my family daily. The kids adore their aunts and uncles and are especially attached to Jed because he always made an effort to come play with them. I miss him coming over to say "Hey Baby" to Brooklyn and Camden and asking if Cooper can come out and play soccer.

Buddies. Camden learned to say "Jed" the week before he left. It is so adorable.

The only pictures of me at the MTC are on my parents' camera and I doubt you want to see me with puffy red eyes anyway. I'm one of those sobbing people. We miss him like crazy!
