Gardner Village

I took the kids on a little outing to Gardner Village. We needed to get a Christmas present for uncle Brandon. We posed for a couple pictures on the way.

Creepy elf! Cute kids! We were going to get hot chocolate, but the crazy kids wanted milkshakes! So we headed to chick fil a for peppermint shakes. Love my kids!

Choir Christmas Concert

 Abbie is in the school choir this year. She is finally in 3rd grade and she can join. She has wanted to do it for years because of her big sisters. She never complains about having to get up early.

 Abbie and her friend Kinley.

  Singing away!

Savannah, Kinley, Campbell and Abbie.

Abbie's bday party!

 For Abbie's birthday we went for makeovers! Here she is with her friends Savannah, Campbell, and Kezia.

They got their hair done and their nails done.

Abbie getting worked on! I couldn't get an after shot, because my camera died!!! Of course. They had a great time and they looked beautiful at the end. Abbie has some really fun friends and had been looking forward to this birthday party for years, because Hallie did it when she was 9!

Abbie is 9!

 My Abbie Kate is 9 years old!! She has more energy than anyone I have ever known. She is always happy and loud. She loves the color blue right now, but it will change next week. She loves to get  her nails done and to wear skirts. She is a darling girly girl who is always on the move. Really she can't sit still or calm down to save her life. Hopefully she can learn to channel all this energy for good!

Money and a twix from the Listons!

And the desired password journal! How has she lived 9 years without it? We have a happy girl!

It is fun to have family that will come and celebrate our special days with us! Happy Birthday Abbie! We love you!

Fun Run

 The elementary school had a Hollywood theme for their fun run this year. The kids could choose from a bunch of dress ups and get their picture taken on the red carpet.

Don't they look marvelous?

 We got lucky and came at the same time as Leo the Lion!!! Go Real Salt Lake!

 And the blaze.

 And the bee! We were able to get pictures with them all without any lines. Jace was feeling pretty special!

 We took a couple pictures out on the field. It is only the second year for Herriman High.

 Go Mustangs!

Crazy Hair Day

 Jace and his blue double mowhawk. Or horns. However you want to look at it!

 Abbie and a few braids. She didn't want to be too crazy for some reason this year, but we did a little someting.

Labor Day

 For the first time in the history of our family, Shane had Labor Day off! I still don't know how that worked. So, we went to Silverlake for a day of Nature, then to Sugarhouse park for a picnic.

We tried to go see a movie too, but it was sold out! Lame. We still made the most of our day with dad and had a great time!
