It's been awhile...

Things finally settled down a bit around here, but then it was catch up time on all the things put off in October. The kids are growing like weeds! Seriously Katelyn's legs are getting so long, she's still skinny as ever - lucky girl:) They are gearing up for the Christmas recital at dance class and she's excited about that. School is a little challenging for her right now, as she is such a social creature she just can't stop talking. It seems to be a dilemma the entire class is struggling with according to her teacher. I swear he has to be a saint to put up with 20 something chatterboxes all day long, I can barely handle one.


Brody is not a baby anymore I am sad to say. The teeth finally came in all snaggletoothed, I love it! He's got 2 fangs on top and one full tooth on the bottom + one bottom tip barely poking out. I cannot help laughing at him and he thinks he's so handsome grinning from ear to ear. He took his first steps about 2 weeks ago!! He is way off balance but has no fear and will turn, let go and waddle about 6 or 7 steps at a time before plopping down on his bum. He thinks he can feed himself too, which is really just more work for me-lol!

So Twilight came out too! A few girls from my ward went to the midnight showing the first night, it was fun to get out as a grown-up for a change. The movie was um, interesting to say the least. I had high hopes and low expectations so in all wasn't too bad. There were a few really cheesy moments and Edward should be so much hotter. But once he smiled and doesn't want to eat Bella (or throw up,I'm not sure) he warms up and doesn't do too bad. Bella did better than I thought she would from looking at the trailers, and I have no idea what was up with Jasper? anywho, hopefully with a bigger budget for any future films things will improve!

Thanksgiving was much more relaxing this year than in the past! We started off with a little Turkey Bowl with the Elder's Quorum. It rained HARD the night before so it was a very messy game. The kids had a blast playing in the mud and were just as messy as the guys I think. Then we went to Dave's Mom's for some yummy eats. I brought the homemade stuffing, a buttermilk pecan pie and a pumpkin roll but had it all made the day before, so no work for me. Except kids!


Then Black Friday!!I drug my friend Megan out of bed before the sun came up and we stood in the cold at Toys R Us with all the other fools. But my shopping is done,yay! ok maybe a few more things, but kids are done for sure. And we had a good time chatting without being interrupted 5 million times. Same time next year girl!


Now we're just trying to get the Christmas decorations up and enjoy the season with those we love
