Christmas 2010

I can't believe 2010 is over! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Here are a few other picture of the month: Ethan's work Christmas party, the cookie train Zac and I made, playing in the snow and the Children's museum in Salt Lake. 

We did things a little different this year and stayed home for our own Christmas eve. We talked about the birth of Christ and opened a few presents. The boys LOVED Christmas morning so much! In fact Zac keeps asking me to put the tree back up so we can do it again.

Our Thanksgiving 2010

We had two Thanksgiving's this year. The first one was at the Abbott's house at 1:00 p.m.. Zac got to see his cousin Lincoln, that he hasn't seen in along time. It's so fun watching them play because they are the same age. (only two weeks apart). The next Thanksgiving meal was at 6:00 p.m. at my parents house in Utah.We watch Toy Story 3 and ate more food.

 The next day I got together with my Sister and Mom to do some shopping and have lunch at La Jolla Groves. It was a great day. 

 I'm thankful for so much in my life! I hope, I will always remember how lucky I am for all that I have. I count my many blessings everyday.

This is what I'm thankful for.

Our first date

It's important to me to have a good relationship with my kids. One of the things I struggle with is the one on one time with them. I haven't had much with Tyson, and I've noticed that he has been needing more time with just me. So today Tyson and I went on our first date. Zac went to go play with what he calls his "Best friend" and I went to the Dinosaur museum with Tyson. When we first got there Tyson was so happy and he kept clapping his hands and saying "YEAH,YEAH,YEAH!" It was so much fun to do things at his pace and see what he liked the best. It made my day and I hope we can do it again soon.

My little trick or treaters

I love Halloween! I don't know why, maybe it's because I love fall and it's that time of year. The biggest reason has to be the candy. This year Zac knew what he wanted to be 3 months before. It was Buzz. It was all he talked about so I gave in a got a Buzz costume. Then I was at Target and found the alien from Toy story and thought it would be prefect for Tyson. To bad Tyson wouldn't keep it on. Anyways our Halloween was wonderful and Zac got a ton of candy. Zac had so much fun that he keeps asking when he can do it again.

There is always a dance party at my house.

Photo shoot

Today we went up to Provo Canyon to see the fall colors and take a few pictures of the fam. All we had was a half broken point and shoot camera and the photographers were Ethan, I, Zac, and random guy. Well here are the results. Next time I will pay someone to do it.

Zac's first day of school!

A day with my boys.

I had a great Saturday with my boys. We went up to Salt Lake to Tracy Aviary. Zac loved it and Tyson loved chasing after the ducks. After that we went to Gateway to play in the water. My boys are growing up to fast!
