Naughty or Nice???

We decided to take Mason and Carly to see Santa this year. It took them a few minutes to figure out what was going on. They may not be smiling, but at least they are not in tears! I think that it turned out pretty good. About ten seconds after they took this picture Mason burst out into tears!

Family of FIVE!

No, I am not pregnant! We got a kitty. And if you know me at all, I am NOT a cat person! I don't have anything against them, I just never wanted to own one! Well after alot of begging and begging, and some more begging from Scott; I finally caved in. Lucky for us it is already potty trained, declawed and fixed. My kids absolutely love it too! Which is good and bad. Mason is pulling wrestling moves on it and has him pinned down most the time and Carly always pulls his tail. But the cat just keeps coming back for more. I am trying to teach them how to be soft with the kitty, but it is not working so well.

As of right now, the kitty is still un-named. We just can't come up with anything that we like very much. I know, we better hurry and decided before this cat has an identity disorder! So if you have any great cat names, let me know!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I absolutely love this time of year! We had such a great Thanksgiving! Scott's parents came over to our house for breakfast on Thursday morning. It was nice to have them over. I am so lucky to have such great in-laws! And Mason and Carly love them so much! They were showing off for them the whole time! Mason has recently learned how to make silly faces, and Carly just laughs hysterically at him! They are so cute together!

Scott was supposed to work in the afternoon, but someone was nice enough to offer to take his shift! I was so excited! We had Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house. It was delicious
of course! I ate way too much food and probably sampled three kinds of pie! In case I didn't eat enough on Thursday, we are having Thanksgiving dinner again at the Francis' on Sunday! Here are some pictures from the day.

There are so many things that I am grateful for this year! I am so grateful for my sweet babies. They are so fun and make me laugh every single day! I am grateful for my amazing husband! He is so good to me and he's the greatest father that I know! I am grateful for all of our family and how close we are with all of them. It's especially nice to have family around during the holidays. And I am so grateful for my heavenly father and the peace he brings to my life. I don't know where I would be without the gospel in my life! I could go on and on, but I'm sure it will get boring. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I love you all!

The Russo Family

Today we had the opprutunity to go to the sealing of our friends Steve and Alesha Russo and their little boy Trip. It was such a special day and such a wonderful sealing! After Steve and Alesha had been sealed to each other, they brought in their handsome little boy all dressed in white. I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a dry eye in the room! I am truly so greatful for the temple and that I am sealed to my amazing husband and sweet babies!

What a great day! Thanks Steve and Alesha for letting us be apart of it! We are so excited for you guys!

Did you say COWS on the runway???

Scott and I got to spend last weekend in Vegas. We had so much fun! Scotts parents were nice enough to watch the babies for us! We went and see Howie Mandel at the MGM and stayed one night at the beautiful Venetian. Our room was amazing! We decided that everytime we go, we need to stay there now! (at least we wish we could) We flew home on Monday afternoon. I was a little nervous about the flight, since I don't always do good in little planes. Lucky for me, I had a great pilot (for those of you who don't know, I'm talking about my husband!) and it was a smooth flight the whole way home!

Last time Scott and I flew into Spanish Fork we had an interesting situation. As we were coming in to land another pilot came on the radio and told us to be advised of COWS on the runway! I thought that I had just heard him wrong or that he was playing a joke on us. He then came on a second time to tell us again that there were cows on the runway! Scott decided that he would probably just have to buzz the runway and hope that they would move. As we came in closer, sure enough there were three or four cows at the very end of the runway! We were laughing so hard!! Only in Spanish Fork would you find cattle wondering there way onto the runway!

Here is a picture of us coming into Utah Valley and then a picture of Scott flying.

Fall Pictures

These are pictures from a couple weeks ago. I really wanted to get some fall pictures of the babies, so we loaded them up and went for a Sunday drive up Provo Canyon. Scott and I both had our cameras, but I didn't think to check the batteries. I got one picture of each of the babies when my camera died! I went and got Scotts and his was dead too! What a pain! So these are the only pictures I got. Carly is so funny, she kept trying to eat the leaves! Not like it is anything out of the ordinary for them to put EVERYTHING straight into their mouths!
