Temple Square

As a child I loved going to Temple Square to look at the lights! And this year Mae has been so excited to see all the lights on peoples house's. It has been so fun! So we decided to take her up to Temple Square. It was a little bit chilly, and extremely crowded, but it was still really fun!

This year they added quite a few little nativity scenes, all pretty different from the typical nativity! I really loved this little Japanese looking one, it was so adorable!

Disney Princess's on Ice

We were able to go to Disney Princess's on Ice with a few of Cody's cousin and their little ones, it was so fun for Mae! She was so cute, and I think she might have enjoyed riding Trax just as much as the Princess show!

She also enjoyed the chocolate ice cream

Karlee was a little afraid of the train at first, it was so sad!

Mae & I on the Train

Captivated!

Halloween

Little Raggedy Anne, Mae was so cute this year! She was so shy at the doorstep and wouldn't say a word until she got her candy, but once it was safely in the bag they got quite an enthusiastic "THANK YOU!"

Our New Digs!

Just thought I'd share some pics of where I'm spending all my time theses days! The walls were already blue and I thought the purple went very nicely!

Little Moments

Last night my mom had us over for dinner, today I've been tired and so for dinner I reheated the meal my mom made us last night, super ambitious I know! So I set down Mae's and she takes a big bite.
"Mmmmm, Mom so good! Give you big hug and kiss!"
I got the kind of hug that only a three year old can give and a big wet smooch, all for reheating a dinner I didn't make.
She is what I live for

I can't believe she's 3!

I can't believe that 3 years have already passed us by! To celebrate Saturday evening we went to Cornbellys with Mae's little cousin/friend Karlie, her parents Wes & Angee, and Aunt Kylee & Uncle Spencer. It was a little expensive but the girls had so much fun!! They jumped, went on slides, played in a corn box(like a sandbox but with corn), rode a cow train, raced ducks, listened to creepy singing chickens, did a corn maze and all sorts of fun things! I think they were both exhausted by the time we were through!

Then on Sunday we got up and had a big birthday girl breakfast!

That afternoon we went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 3D, She really liked it but I'm not sure how she could tell what was going on because she took her 3D glasses off about half way in and when I took mine off it was awfully blurry! Then we had the fams over for some birthday desert and presents! Thanks everyone for making it such a great day!

Summer Happenings

So its been quite some time since I've posted anything new so I thought I'd just do a little recap of the last few months. Mae recently started dance class!! So cute! She is the youngest in her class by at least six months and I'm not sure if its her age or her personality but she doesn't follow instructions very well so we'll see how she does the next two weeks and we might wait and start again in the spring, but she is so cute!

Every year I go with my Mom, sister, aunts and grandma up to Swiss days! It is so much fun! There is so many fun things to look at and buy, and my favorite part is the Scones! They are huge and delicious!

The other day while cleaning I had the little potty in the front room, I came out to find Mae reading a book doing her business, it was pretty funny!

We went up American Fork Canyon to camp overnight with Kylee Spencer and Michelle, Mae was pretty excited until it got dark, then she kept saying "Getting dark, go home now?" And then when we went to go to sleep in the tent she started crying and asking for "Mae's bed?" So needless to say it wasn't that great of a trip. But she must remember it differently because whenever she sees the mountains she'll say "Mountains! Mae sleep in tent, fun!" ha ha shes so cute!

Harry Potter Palooza!

I'm sorry Everyone this is a long post! But for any of you that don't know I'm a huge Harry Potter fan! So this year I decided to throw a little party before we headed out to the Midnight Movie!

We had "rock cakes" courtesy of Michelle

I made Licorice Wands

Acid Pops

Aunt Petunia's Pudding

Chocolate Frogs

Canary Creams & Treacle Tarts

My mom made "Pumpkin Pasties" and My aunt Kimmie made some delicious "Onion Oddity" And here is the "Desert in the Great Hall"

We also made t-shirts to wear! Here is Cayden sporting his shirt

My Sister & Brother in law are such good sports! Spencer & Kylee, thanks for putting up with my insanity! and I guess that goes for the rest of everyone else to!

Here is Tasha & Cayden, I'm not sure what happened but Tasha was acting bad so Cayden was helping her out.

Here is the back of Cody's shirt, I'm not sure how I got him to wear it but he really acted pretty good about it! He also deserves some thanks, i know he thinks I'm crazy! But I guess that's love for ya!

Ya I look like a goof, but i was already tired! But here is my shirt!

My fun aunt Kim! In her very classic looking shirt!

And my mom!

If any of you know her, this shirt is so fitting, after the 6th book she would argue with anyone that Dumbledore was not, could not be dead! This was a very hard movie for her.

Somehow I didn't get any pics of us at the theater! But we had a blast! Even though the movie wasn't what we wanted it to be!
