Celebrating Scott's birthday with Santa

Scott's birthday was last Saturday (Happy Birthday Hon!), and unfortunately his birthday fell on a busy Saturday right before Christmas. We had a busy day planned which mainly centered around 'the big guy' (no, not Scott). We started our morning off (in a blizzard mind you), with 'Breakfast with Santa' at Millenial Falls. Scott especially loved getting called up on stage with Santa (and some other birthday kids) for a birthday gift (a reindeer nose!). We then headed to Scott's office where one of "Santa's Helpers" was getting pictures with some patients and families. Lastly, to finish off our busy day, Scott and I went to Tuscany for a great italian dinner---without Santa!

Kensley's first photo shoot

"Are we done yet? I'm bored!"

A look of concern

So peaceful

Here are just a few of the many pictures of Kensley. She slept during most of the photo shoot except for the ones with all 3 of them, where she decided to scream! The Christmas card this year should be interesting...

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving with Scott's family this year! Scott's mom did a great job (like always)! Kensley got to meet some second cousins, as well as her great-grandpa Vincent. She pretty much slept through most of the dinner, and the boys were too busy playing that they didn't eat much of the meal, but did eat the pies very well! Thanksgiving morning Scott and 18 friends got together for his annual Turkey Bowl, and was sore for the remainder of the weekend. I was able to get most of the Christmas decorations done here at home as well as Scott's office. It's still hard to believe that Christmas is only a little over 3 weeks away!! We also were able to get some Christmas shopping done just the two of us while Scott's parents watched the boys for us! It's amazing how much you can get accomplished when you don't have kids with you! Here are some pictures taken on Thanksgiving...

Best Buds!

Here's some more pictures taken of the two boys! It's amazing how they can love each other so much and enjoy each other, and than the next minute will be fighting with each other!

The many faces of Maddox

We went to get professional pictures taken at Faces Photography a little over a week ago of the boys and Kensley. To get Maddox to loosen up a bit, he asked Maddox to make some funny faces. Here are some of the pictures he took of him! Too cute!

Go UTES!

I know, I'm a little behind!! I just wanted to post some pic's from the big Utah/BYU Rival game. We all dressed up in some Utah gear (thanks to Scott who went on a shopping spree for all of us), and had some friends over for the game. Though I didn't get to see much of it since (like always) I was either too busy gabbing away or watching the kids, I heard it was a great game! One thing I know is that we came out victorious!! Yah---now we will get to play in a bowl game! Kensley looked so cute dressed up in her Utah cheerleading outfit (thanks to Shokie), and the boys loved their new beanies ("Just like Daddy!" they kept saying). It was a fun night, though at the end, I came down with Mastitis...ouch!!! Luckily I had it before and knew what the beginning signs were, so was able to get a prescription quick and felt better by the next day!

Kensley's 4 weeks old---already!

I can't believe it's been 4 weeks already! What a great baby she has been so far---an angel! I want time to slow down! She already can't fit in her newborn size clothes! How fun it is to dress her up and put bracelets, and hair bows in her hair. It reminds me of when I used to play with dolls when I was little! Who knew a little girl could be such fun!

Visit from Aunt Nina

My sister, Nina, came to visit us last week from Las Vegas. It was great that she was able to take time off of school and work to come up and meet Kensley. We pretty much just hung out at here at home, but we were able to sneak away to the mall, just us girls, for one morning. Nina even took a picture as we were walking in of Kensleys first trip to the mall :) ! The boys of course LOVE their aunt Nina and every morning since she has left, Parker has asked where "nana" is. I just wish she lived here in Salt Lake since we all love her and she is a great nanny for all the kids! Thanks Nina for another fun visit! Hopefully we will get to Vegas soon!!

Halloween 2008

The moment we stepped out on our porch to go trick or treating, it started raining of course! It didn't put a damper on the boys excitement though! They were already on a sugar high from the earlier Halloween parties at school. We just bundled Kensley in her Baby Bjorn under Scott's jacket, and off we went. We have the best circle to go trick or treating though. One house served us parents some hot cider and bourban (something I had never tried before...and could only tolerate a sip or two) that we took with us from house to house, and another gave us some beer!! The boys loved getting all the candy and would race from one door to the next. Parker kept insisting at every house that "it's not scawy (scary) right?! It's just pretent (pretend)...it's silly!" But knew that deep down inside, he really was scared about the blow up Halloween figures, and scary music, etc. For whatever reason, we had more trick or treaters than we ever had before which was fun! We were all lucky to have such mild weather this year too (despite the rain). It could have been like today with the snow!
