Olivia's 6th Birthday Party

12/29/15

Our beautiful Livy Loo turned 6 this year!  My how time flies!  She got to have her first birthday party with friends and she was so so excited!  She still LOVES Frozen, so we arranged to have Elsa make a surprise appearance at her party.  The girls were playing a game when Elsa snuck down the stairs.  Livy was jumping up and down with excitement when she saw her and couldn't stop touching her beautiful dress!  Elsa told them a story, played games with them and painted snowflakes on their faces!  Livy was in heaven and couldn't stop talking about it for days!! 

We are so grateful for this little ray of sunshine!

Merry Go Round

January 31, 2015

This cute boy was so excited to ride the little Merry Go Round today!

McDonalds Break!

These two cuties love their life on the run! We are always speeding from one place to the next and very rarely take the time for a lunch break at McDonalds. So it was a special treat when I suggested we do it today. They were so excited they could hardly stand it! Liv, of course, made s new friend and Davis was her little shadow!

Dance Party!

One of our favorite games is dancing and then playing back our dances in slow motion! We are all rolling on the floor as we watch them!

Playing with Daddy!

Daddy always comes up with all kinds of fun games for us to play! Tonight we all took turns sitting on him while he shook our arms and made is dance, while the kids lip synced the songs he was singing!

Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day

Today was a big day!  We have reached a big milestone in our family.

Today mom took all four kids to the movie... alone... And it was... Fun!  All four kids can now officially sit through a movie and enjoy it! And it wasn't even a cartoon! We decided it would be fun to go to the Kaysville Theater and see Alenxander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.  It was so fun! Hunter still hates the part before the movie where everyone says "eeeewwwwwweeee", and mom still yells ut the loudest! It was a funny movie, the popcorn was amazing the the kids were even better! GREAT way to spend a Saturday!

Potty Time

Potty time is a special time!

First we sit on the potty.

Then we pee on the floor..

... Then we point it down and finish!

Then we dump it in the big potty! Yay!

Then, of course, we have to do the potty dance!

Davis knows what to do, and every day we get a little bit closer! I got him some Buzz Lightyear underwear and he was so sad when he peed on Buzz that he went to his drawer pulled out the rest of his new undies and took them straight to the garbage! 

We'll get there one day!

4th Grade Natural History Museum

Thursday January 22, 2015

Today was Hunts turn for the natural history museum field trip. We had so much fun! We loved checking out a. The dinosaurs that loved in Utah, all the "cool" bugs, and designing our own earthquake proof building. Of course there was not a serious moment with these goofballs, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Soakin up Rays!

It may be the middle of winter, and it may only be 39 degrees out. But with this beautiful sunshine it may as well be 75!!! We were soakin up the Rays today!!! In fact I ran in the house to grab my camera and came back to find Davos laying out on the front steps! It's never too early in the season for a tan!

Piano Recital

Monday January 19, 2015

The kids had their end of semester piano recital tonight. They have practiced hard on each of their pieces and did a great job! Hunter played "Dance in F" and "The Return" and Sami played "Arabesque" and "I'm a Little Tea Pot" 

This coming semester is Hunts last semester in group lessons, then he graduates to private lessons! Yahoo!!!

Carnival makeovers

No school today! So the girls decided to do "carnival" makeovers: butterflies and other makeup designs on their faces! They did a great job!

Best Sisters!

These girls, just like most sisters, tend tone best friends or worst enemies! I love moments like these when they are besties! Sunday night when we were having a card night, they were being so cute! They were hugging, and dancing and holding hands!bae had school off on Monday so they even had a "sleepover" in Sami's bed!  I love it!!! 

Uno!

When Sami had her baptism meeting with the primary president she was asked what her favorite thing to do with her family was... It was hands down UNI! Why? Because she "always wins!" Lol she does win an aweful lot! We LOVE playing games together especially  Uno!

Sami and Davis

These cute kids are two peas in a pod! They have the same spunky personality and I love it! Saturday, Sami was playing with Davis and taking funny pictures and making videos of him. Davis, Of course, was eating up the attention! 

Hill Airplane Museum

Saturday January 17, 2015

Today we went to the Hill Air Forcs Base airplane museum with our neighbors, the DeFays. It was really cool!  Hunter especially loved all the videos of old footage from World War II. He would be running around crazy looking at all the awesome planes and then he would freeze when he came upon a video and he would sit and watch it and would not make a sound! He was really cute with Davis too! They were buddies. He walked him around and would lift him up to show him things! The girls thought it was cool at first, but it didn't take too long for them to be ready to go back home to painting nails and other "girl stuff"! It was a nice outing though and much better than being trapped at home!

Sleepy boy

This is how Davis usually falls asleep... Watching the "Woody Buzz" on the iPad!

Movie night

After Sami's night out, we all settled down for a late night movie... Apparently too late night! Liv and Jackson didn't make it! After the movie we couldn't wake Jackson up! All of the sudden he woke with a start and sat straight up! We were laughing so hard!

Sami's birthday night out!

January 10, 2015

When our kids turn 8, their baptism is considered their birthday party. So to celebrate on their birthday they get a night out with Mom and Dad.

For Sami's night out we did a girls night out with Mommy and Sami! First we took her baptism pictures at the Salt Lake Temple. For dinner she chose Pizza Factory! We had so much much fun being silly and stuffing our faces with pizza and giant breadsticks! We were laughing so hard Sami fell off her seat! Which only made us laugh harder! After that she decided she wanted a new pair of boots, so we went boot shopping. Then off for a manicure! Then we made a quick stop to pick out a toy ( she chose makeup, Ever   High hair stuff and a mirror that she could decorate). Then we picked up cousins Halle and Lexi for a late night movie! Such a fun day and so much fun to have some one on one time with my princess that is growing up too fast!!

What cake batter?
