I have a 3 year old?

Aurora's birthday finally came and she was so excited she could hardly stand it.
Eating her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake, that is her new favorite show and there was no doubt that Minnie was one of her favorite presents. She had so much fun with all her cousins there and her favorite part was blowing out her candles!

Aurora with her new Minnie and her cute new baby we asked her what she wanted to name her baby and she came up with "Baby Galore." She loves to be a little mom and she takes such good care of them.

I asked her what she wanted to do on her birthday and she begged to go and feed the ducks and since it happened to be a beautiful day it worked out perfect, although she decided to eat some of the hamburger buns when I wasn't looking. She had such a fun day and its so amazing how fast 3 years have gone by.

Christmas 2008

Christmas morning Aurora was so excited and thrilled she just wanted to play with all the toys at once, it was fun to see her opening the presents and really "getting" the whole Christmas thing this year.

Cousin Karyson and Aurora playing the wii that they got for Christmas, well trying the best they could Karyson was cute if she didn't win she would just sit back on the couch and say I don't want to play anymore, but of course she did. And just so you know if theirs anyone that wants to play me in wii bowling I will kick your ace my top score is 266 that's right I got 7 strikes in a row, don't even worry about it OK.

Aurora got some cute dress up clothes from Santa and she had a ball dressing up with everyone so she could look just like Cinderella.

Playing games at Grandma's house

Opening presents with the family!

We couldn't find Aurora and Devon for a while then we finally found them watching Seinfeld of all the things in the corner of the room.

Aurora loves making all kinds of "dinners" for us with her new kitchen from Grandma Shorty and as you can see she is very serious about it.

Santa also brought her a big girl bed she actually loves it and has done really good in it as far as staying in at night.

Gotta love playing games my brother and his huge glasses the funny part is that we were playing Settlers not even poker. One night we had a Settlers marathon until about 2 in the morning I can't remember but I think my brother Ben won and we all know its only because he cheats.

We had such a fun Christmas this year my other sister from Washington also came and spend Christmas with us too. I love love Christmas time and I'm always sad when its over but thanks to everyone that made it so special and fun!

Sledding with all kinds of cousins!

About a week before Christmas my sister and family came to visit us it was a surprise nobody knew that they were coming until they showed up at the house, it was a lot of fun though and Aurora still asks for "Karyson and Emigh to come play at my house."

The day after they came we went sledding at the golf course with all of the kids and then after that Trint took the boys snowmobiling.

Aurora loved sledding at first she whined and then once she started to go she couldn't stop laughing.

This is Brooklyn and Aurora on the sled in Grandpa's field they did it the easy way by using the 4-wheeler to pull them around. I really love the snow sometimes and then again I hate it sometimes too.

Santa Claus

This was Aurora at the mall riding the train around Santa Claus she was so excited to see him and tell him what she wanted but little did we know it was all talk. Once it was her turn she freaked out and started crying but afterwards she told everyone she did sit on his lap... what a little fibber!

After the incident at the mall her and Grandpa had a plan and they were going to "sit on his lap and touch his beard" in her words, so we tried...

There was no way it was going to happen no matter how hard we tried to brib her with candy

And so we just made her I am sure she will be scard for life. Even on Christmas morning I went to her room to wake her up and I told her that Santa had came and she brust into tears and said "no I don't want him" but then I said no he's not here he just brought you presents and then she was happy.

Lets start with Thankgiving!

Grandma is such a pushover because it didn't take much for the kids to talk her into letting them open one of their presents on Thanksgiving. It doesn't look like Parker was to thrill about his jammers though.

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Trint's mom and dad house and had all the family there including my brother and sister-in-law and their kids. It was a lot of fun to have so many people there and visit and of course eat!

I am a Child of God

Thriller again!

So the Saturday after Halloween we went to Thriller again with some friends it was a lot of fun and Trint was really not that thrilled about going but after he saw it he said it was way better than he thought it would be and rated it a 8 out of 10. Other than that we haven't been up to a whole lot, trying to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas but it always comes and goes way to fast.

Aurora is finally 100% potty trained and now thinks she has to do everything by herself she even makes Trint and I leave the bathroom when she's going she says "You go in and sit on the couch mom" its kinda funny. As I am writing this she is saying "Mom you leaving me nuts" which means I am driving her nuts. Her new thing to tell Trint is "Just leave-va-me alone!!!" Can you say attitude!

Happy Halloween!

So for Halloween as you can tell Aurora was Ariel. We had such a fun time this year too because she finally understood the "Trick or Treating" part and when I ask her "What do you say "(when I want her to say please) and she says "Trick or Treat" still.

This is me and Aurora at Skyler and Chelsea's Halloween party, they had some yum food and treats and Aurora's favorite the root beer that she managed to spill down the front of her by the end of the night.

Getting ready to get more candy! She loved putting on make-up and getting ready and even liked me spraying the red stuff in her hair, at first when she saw it in the mirror she was a little worried and then she thought it was cool.

This is her friend Kennedy that was a Ariel too they had a lot of fun together trick or treating at the mall! They were both the cutest Mermaids I saw.

Cousins and Aurora at the mall getting ready to run!

We had a church party the day before Halloween and they had games and prizes and fun stuff Aurora loved it except when she saw scary people dressed up then she stayed close to me. We had such a fun year dressing up and still tons of candy left even though she was eating it every chance she got.

Thriller!!!

This past weekend my sister and some friends went to Thriller at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake. We went last year and loved it and this year it was even better! I love all the dancers and it defiantly makes me wish that I could dance but I can't.

In front of Thriller the only thing I kinda don't like are the weird people that come right up to your face.....their gross and in Kimberly's words need a breath mint.

Becky, Kimberly, Bree and me!

It was so much fun that I even talked Trint into going this weekend with some others friends, its gonna be fun!

Happy Birthday to me!

For my birthday this year Trint surprised me with a weekend getaway to St. George! It was a lot of fun except that it was suppose to be warm and it wasn't but at least it was warmer than it was here. He had planned to play golf on Saturday but it was way to cold, so we just went shopping instead and for once Trint was a good sport about it, he didn't whine about having "shopping legs" which he usually does. Then we went to a movie. We tried to remember the last one we went to and for me it was "Horton hears a Who" with kids and for him we really couldn't remember. Then of course we went to one of my favorite place's on earth, Outback. He also got me an hour massage while we were there and I couldn't have asked for a better weekend! What a great husband I have!
For the past 2 weeks Aurora has been so excited about my birthday. She finds little papers or toys or anything and brings them to me and tells me they are my birthday cake then she puts a bow on them. She was so excited for the real birthday cake she could hardly stand herself and did such a good job of singing "Happy Birthday."
I can't believe that I'm 26 I guess its true...... time flies when your having fun!
