Christmas Card
Things are a little tight around here this year, so we are cutting back on everything we can. Although I love sending and getting Christmas cards, it seemed like one of those expendable things. So I am posting a pseudo Christmas card on my blog, since almost everyone I would send one too, reads the blog! Merry Christmas everyone.
December so far
I only have one more final left in school, and I have noticed that I have a lot more free time on my hands. That being said, I have a lot to blog about. Livie is in a singing/performing group called TaVaci. They had their first concert last night. It was so darling! Livie is in the class with her cousin Denver and both of them did fantastic. They sang and did all of the actions. I wish I could upload the video on here. Dylan and Beckham sat in the audience and watched, but they were rewarded for their good behavior by going to get ice cream after.
We took the kids to see Santa, and Livie was so excited. Dylan was okay with it, he was more interested in getting his candy bag. It has been snowing here almost nonstop today. Jon and Dylan are outside building a snowman. Livie is more like me and still has her warm Vegas blood, so we are staying inside snuggling on the couch. But then her dad got the four wheeler to plow the driveway, and she changed her mind.
Dylan has also started building cars. He makes a new one almost every day out of Lego's, but this morning he made a life size one. He even added headlights and a pedal.

Artwork
My kids are little artists. They love to draw all of the time. These two are my latest favorites.
This first one is Livie's. She drew it after her friend Rebecca came to stay with us. She has had it hanging in her room ever since.
This one is Dylan's. He drew this stating that it was his favorite thing to do with his best friend Denver. I found a picture I took of them this summer, and Dylan's drawing is surprisingly accurate.

November Happenings
Well I am averaging about a post a month. That is pretty good right? A week ago my great friend Emily Bowman drove up from Vegas to go see New Moon with me. It was so wonderful and we had so much fun. Our kids loved seeing each other and they had a ball. The picture below is the four of them watching Dr. Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas on my bed. Jon said this was right before Livie and William freaked out and went running out of the room. It was so wonderful to see Emily and we already have our plans made for Eclipse.
The other picture is of a Lego car that Dylan made. He also made a Lego remote control to go with it. Every time he pushed the green button he pushed the car to pretend it was moving.
This last Saturday everyone in my family rode the front runner train to Salt Lake to see the lights. The kids loved the train, I think more than the lights. Temple square was absolutely beautiful and I just love the spirit that you feel in that holy place.

Halloween
Our Halloween was so much fun this year. We started it off by having a Halloween party at Jon's mom and dads. Friday night the grown ups had a How to Host a Murder party. Sadly I don't have any pictures of that. But it was great and I ended up being the murderer. Then on Saturday the kids had their Halloween party. They got to dress up, go on a pumpkin hunt, play Halloween bingo, and eat delicious food. Heidi was so sweet and wonderful to organize it all.
Then we headed back to Tremonton to eat delicious soup at my mom and dads. The kids loved showing each other their costumes. Dylan and Denver thought they were so spooky. We then made the rounds seeing relatives which was so much fun! We didn't do trunk or treat this year, but being around family that loves us was so much better. After that we went door to door with Gunner, Savannah and Maverick. It was a great Halloween.

I need to do better
I know, I have been horrible at blogging. I got a slight reprimand from my friend Tawni tonight, so I came straight home and started to download pictures. So, to catch up on the last month and a half:
We went camping up at my sister in laws cabin. It was so beautiful. We rode four wheelers, went fishing, where, Dylan and Livie both caught their first fish. In fact, all of the kids caught one. We tried to release them, but some of them didn't make it, so we took them back to camp and cooked them up. Surprisingly, Livie loved the fish and couldn't get enough of it. The two nights we stayed there was horrible weather during the night. It was windy the first night and poured the next. But we had so much fun.
Livie and Dylan both had sleepovers on the same night. Dylan slept over at Denver's house, and Savannah and Lexie stayed here. The girls were funny and darling, stayed up way too late and ate a lot of candy. But they had a fantastic time. Tangi was lucky and got both boys to sleep at 8:30.
Livie started dancing here. She loves it and dances for me all of the time.
Dylan started kindergarten this past Monday. He is doing so well and he loves his class. We had a little incident on Friday where he started a food fight in the cafeteria, but he was disciplined and he swears he will not do it again. The story is funny and it is hard not to laugh when you are telling him it was a bad choice.
