Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

Oh yes, I am lame and you can call me that! I know it is only Nov. 9, 2012 but Yes I did decide to put my Christmas Tree up today!  I thought that we would have a fun day since my kids were out of school, but no....we did not have a very good day.  I got all ready and got the kids all ready and we were out the door by 10:15. We had to buy a present for Marissa's friend for her Birthday Party that was later. We then had to go to the Grocery Store....2 might I add.  Taking 3 kids with you....really gets you in a bad mood. They were bugging each other and talking back to me and finally I had, had it! They were driving me crazy. So when we got home they sat at the table and thought about what they did wrong and then I made them do their homework. (what a mean mom I am)!  I at least wanted to do something to bright up my day so Jaci and I put up our Christmas Tree!  Blake was playing with a friend and Marissa was at a Birthday Party.  jaci kept telling me..."You know it's not Christmas yet, right?"  'I know, Jaci"!  It was fun to be with her! She had fun with me!
Here are some pictures!

 Jaci Put most of the Ornaments on herself!

Happy Halloween 2012

This was our first year Trick or Treating in our New neighborhood!  It was fun and actually a little warmer this year! not too shabby! Our ward does a "Trunk or Treat" and so we attended.  We had soup before hand and then the cars that wanted to got ready and the kids headed out. We actually had quite a few cars and it was fun to see all the kids dressed up and much of the adults also! We have never done a trunk or treat, but it was fun.  This year....as you can see, Blake was a Hunter. Jaci was a Butterfly and Marissa....as always......a CAT!  They had fun going out with their friends! They got a lot of candy and I am glad it is almost gone! 
This year, I actually had to work upstairs in Pediatrics with Dr. Evan's. They always dress up and so this year they wanted to be Smurf's.  So of course.....I dressed up! Luckily I we were just in for the morning and I didn't have to wear it all day! It was fun and I am glad I worked that morning.
Here are some fun pictures from our fun Halloween 2012!

Jaci turns 5

Jaci, is our youngest child. She is 16 mos younger than Marissa and people often come up to me and ask if they are twins! Jaci is very strong willed. She is fun loving and loves to be around people and make friends! She often gives in to her sister and does what she say's. She was ans is super excited to be 5. She said when she turns 5 she will eat Strawberries and Raspberries and peas........that has yet to come. She is making progress on eating. Some day's are better than others. She already has gotten her Kindergarten shots so she is ready to go next year! She is way excited to go and wishes she could go now, but she still has some progress she needs to do.  Learn to write her name, eat better, know all her sounds (almost there). Marissa try's to teach her things that she needs to learn. Sometimes it works....sometimes not!  Jaci is 35# and is about 42 in. Her and Marissa right now weight the same....which is sad on Marissa's part! 
We are glad Jaci is in our family and she is very much loved!
This year was her first "Birthday Friend Party" so we decided to make it a "Princess" Party and invited the girls her age in the ward.  There are not a lot.....compared to marissa's age, but we had fun!  Here are some pictures to show from it! Jaci turned 5 on Sept 29th.  She shares her birthday with her Uncle Kyle!

 Jaci and all her friends!

 These are the Princess cupcakes that I made for her friend party

 Here is the "Barbie" "Princess" Cake that I attempted to make. It doesn't look as good as the ones my sister makes!
