Bryanna in December

This December Bryanna was pretty busy. She had a dance recital and
a singing performance at the school. Above is her dance recital. It is
so much fun to watch her. I can't believe she is getting so big
and she is developing some fun talents.

This is what she wore for her dance recital. They were
dancing to Santa Baby.

Bryanna singing with her class.

Here they are again. Kyle loved it so much that he
went to sleep. It was such a busy day for him

Temple square

At the first part of December we took the kids to Temple Square. It
was so much fun to watch around and see all the beautiful lights. My
favorite thing is to see all the different things that they put up.
It always amazing me in the things they can do.

Having fun together and trying not to freeze it was really cold.

Kyle and Bryanna together.

Watching the Christmas show. Bryanna loves to pose.

There was a nice couple there that

took our picture. I love the lights behind. It was
so much fun and then we ended up going to McDonalds
for dinner which the kids thought was the best.

Disneyland 2011 Part 2

Here is our Family outside the castle at Disneyland. We had so much fun that I was really bad at taking pictures. Bryanna got cute princess ears and Kyle got Kermit ears. He thought they were more fun to play with. The weather at Disneyland was so nice and warm. I remember coming to Disneyland when I was older and I don't remember it being this much fun. It was so fun to take my kids.

Kyle and Bryanna meeting Mickey Mouse. Kyle tried to give me knuckles. My Friend recently taught him how to do it. I laugh so hard. Kyle was also trying to figure him out. I was so suprised that he didn't cry.

Our friend's the Perry's also came on vacation with us. It was so fun to be with them. Bryanna loves her friend McCall and was so surprised to see her. It is so nice to have such great friends to do stuff with. It was great hang out with them.

Bryanna with her cousins at the house in Toon Town. They had a roller coaster that Bryanna loved. She is such a dare devil. I could get her to go on about any ride. I even got her to go with me on Splash Mountain. She is so good to humor me. Bryanna and her cousin Evan had so much fun tickling each other every minute they go get. What funny little kids they are.

Here Bryanna is riding the go - carts. she loved it that she could drive the car all by her self. It was fun to ride with her. What a big girl is getting to be. She was so good about waiting in line.

Disneyland 2011

This year for Thanksgiving we decided to do something different. We surprised our kids and took them to Disneyland for the week. My brother and his family and my sister and her family and also our friends went. We decided to take a plane because since Bryan is The Bishop we are in the middle of Tithing Settlements and he has to be here for that. On Tuesday morning I woke Bryanna up and told her we were going on surprise vacation. I gave her a mystery bag and she had to figure it out. She was so excited her face was priceless. I had been planning this trip for months. I had all the bags packed and I hide them in my closet. The above picture is us waiting for a flight out of Salt Lake. The vacation was a much needed family time. Everybody always tells me that Disneyland is so magical and I agree now. I didn't want to come home. Everybody is so nice and it is so fun to see your child's eyes light up. Kyle had so much fun too. I was so surprised that he could ride most of the rides. This is truly a vacation I want to take again. I dd miss all the turkey stuffing and shopping black Friday. But these memories I made will last forever.

Here is Bryanna and Kyle outside Snow White's House. You will notice all Bryanna's smiles are chessey grins. Oh well !

Here are my crazy monkeys riding the trains. Kyle loved all the trains and wanted to keep going and going......

Here is Bryanna with one of her favorite Princess Ariel. I loved how these princess made each girl feel like they are so special and wonderful. They really made my daughter's day.

My Sister Lindsey was so sweet and stood in line for us. We got to meet 3 princesses at this time. Yes we got to see Ariel again. Bryanna was in awe at her. Kennedy my cute niece was so cute around them. I am so glad for family and for helping us plan this trip. What an amazing time we had I am so grateful for them.

Halloween

This year we had a Halloween Party with our friends. We got together and had pizza and took the kids trick or treating. Our kids have so much fun together. Bryanna wanted to be a mermaid this year. Kyle is our cute little monkey. Kyle thought it was great fun that he got so much candy. I took Bryanna and her friend McCall up and down a few streets. They had so much fun running from house to house. I am so glad that we have such great friends that will do things with us.

We are getting ready for Halloween night by carving pumpkins. Kyle is drawing on his pumpkin.

Bryanna is getting the face ready to carve. She loves Halloween and she was so excited for Halloween this year.


Our cute mermaid we even sprayed her hair read. It is still a little orange. I guess that is what you get when you have a blonde daughter and you try to turn it red. She thought it was fun to have it a different color but she hated the smell of the spray. What a girl.


Our cute little monkey running around. I was so proud of him for leaving his costume on. I thought he would get mad and take it off. Holidays are so much fun and I love watching the kids faces when it is a holiday.

Ward Carnival

This year our ward did a carnival. The kids had so much fun. Bryan got to help too. They threw water sponges at the bishopric. The kids thought it was great fun. At first Bryanna thought that was mean to throw them at her dad but then she was ok with it. They did face painting too. Bryanna loved it so much that she wanted to wear it to church we had to talk her into washing it off. It was such a great activity and everybody had so much fun.

Here is Bryan having so much fun. They were such a great sport.


Here comes Brother Trent waiting for his turn.

Before the carnival Bryanna's friend McCall came over to play. They decided to make a tent under the trampoline. They were so cute and even let Kyle play with them. I couldn't get Kyle to stay in the picture.

Camping and Fishing

At the end of July we went camping with Bryan's family. They have this great pond where everybody goes fishing. Bryanna loves it because she can catch so many fish. This year they didn't catch as many because we weren't able to be there the whole time. This year I had surgery on my hand the same week. So we had to take it really slow. Everybody had a good time for the time that we did spend there. Kyle thought it was great to fish with his dad.


Here is my model queen lately she really like to pose whenever I bring out the camera. I think it is really funny. She is getting quite good at fishing. My Grandmom would be so proud of her.

Having a good time with dad. Even though her face tells otherwise.


Getting ready to cast.



Kyle and Abby loved the wagon. They would just there and eat snacks. Sometimes even share them with each other. I am so glad we brought the wagon. It was such a big help. Since I only had one arm.
