before and after school

Emma came home today from school covered in orange marker!! I had to laugh because this is so her! She loves to feel pretty and cute and all dressed up! But at the same time she loves to have fun and nothing gets in her way!! So here is my hard work to send her off to school all perfect......






And this is how she came home!!! LOL









Snow day

Dan took Dallin out of school a couple of fridays ago to take him sking! He LOVED it!! They had gone last year and had a great time! They planned a little better this time though and Dallin had a sking lesson which was great! It ended up being one on one, so Dan even got some adult sking in! Dallin and Dad had a great time and can't wait till next time! Emma even wants to come next time because Dallin had sooo much fun!!!























wacky hair day!

Dallin had wacky hair day at school! He was excited to do his hair in crazy spikes! He is in desperate need for a hiar cut! and I just haven't taken the time to do it! But we could easily do wacky hair day!! We came up with this fo-hawk and he loved it! Which is funny because any time you do his hair he has to "fix" it because it has to be certian way! Emma was just a bonus!!







guitar lessons

Dan decided to start teaching the kids guitar lessons after they started strumming his one day! Emma decided to go first! He started with the basics! strumming and the G chord! She loved it!!! Dan decided not to quite his day job!!!






















































teeth!

I forgot to post about Lilly's teeth! She has had them for about 3 months now but they are the cutest teeth!! Her smile shows them off! We love to see them! They are adorable!!! I love the two teeth grin!!






Exercise

Dallin has decided that he needs to beat this kid that is the fastest in his class! It is his determination to be the fastest! Dan and I could not stop laughing when he got on the eliptical and then did jumping jacks, then jogging in place, then sit ups, and our favorite had to have been when he did his push ups! We had to cover our mouths because it was hysterical!!
I thought this was a one time thing but he got on the next night and did the same thing! So here is to wanting things and working hard to achieve them!! GO DALLIN!!!





We'll let you know how he does!!

Rachel visit!

We loved having Aunt Rachel come and visit! The kids ( well Dallin!) loved playing the wii with her! Aliya and Emma fought over who would sleep with her downstairs and who she would snuggle with! She was awesome in taking our pictures which turned out great!! I know I take advantage of her because she is constantly helping the kids and They love to be with her! We decided on her last night here we would do something fun! So the whole family went to PF Changs! It is not a kid friendly resturant but we have been teaching the kids about etiquette! We thought it would be a great challenge for them and great food for us! I have to say the kids did great!!! The tried one bite of at least everything! the only problem was they had to go the the bathroom A LOT! After we left the resturant we all felt great so we decided to walk around the mall and look at the great stores! Mom's favorite pottery barn!! But I think the one that we all loved was the kids book store! we sat down and loved the books! It reminded us that we need to go to the library!! we were sad to see her go but glad she came to visit!!!
