Visiting the lights display at the Layton Park. Totally cheesy and fun.
Can you spot the 'Angel Moroni? Laura did!

December 17th, 2009*Ryan is getting several new teeth. He's been super clingy and kind of fussy today, but that was a little nice too because he wants to cuddle and sit on my lap. When my visiting teachers came over today he sat on my lap for a full half an hour. He's so sweet right now, I just love his little pudgy hands and his little dimple on his chin and the way he says 'Mama! Mama!'
*Today he tackled me on the floor and I smacked my head on the corner of our stepstool in my mock fall. I have a lot more sympathy for my kids when they hit their heads now!
*Eden loves to play with the King boys while I'm at Laura's school. I love to have such wonderful down to earth friends.
Laura has one more day of school before winter break. I volunteered in her class again today. She's learning to write her last name and is doing addition on the computer. She also loves music class.
*I volunteered in Laura's class again today. Just one more day until Winter Break. She's learning how to write her last name, is doing addition on the computer, and loves music time. She's a really good friend and I can tell she tries to be nice to everyone, even the boys:)
*I went and delivered a book and a Christmas message to the women we visit teach. Some of them have such heavy burdens right now. I came home to a warm home, a loving husband, and three healthy energetic children. What more could I want for Christmas.

The Staffords came down from Idaho to visit Temple Square and see the lights. They were kind enough to invite us to come with them. It was sooo cold, but we had a great time anyway. We parked at the Gateway and rode the Trolley over. While we were visiting one of the visitor centers we were lucky to catch a pilgrim era show chorus perform Christmas songs in the lobby. The lights were beautiful, and the temple was radiant. But it was almost too cold to enjoy any of the outdoor sights. We came back after eating dinner in the food court, and had birthday cake and presents for Bailey's 8th birthday. 
Unfortunately we tried to let the girls sleep in the same room. Disaster. At about 11:00pm we finally split them up. It was really fun to have them come visit us though, we're always down in Idaho, so it was a nice change to have them in our neck of the woods.
December 5th-9th
*Ryan has started this little quick-step-in-place dance, it's absolutely adorable,
especially with his little grin.
*Laura took Eden up with her to sing a Christmas song during Sacrament Meeting.
It was so sweet, but E came back and told me, "They sang the wrong song!"
She hadn't been in primary when they practiced!
*When E gives me kisses at night she goes
(KISS) 'ONE'
(KISS) 'TWO'
(KISS) 'THREE'...
and sometimes holds up her fingers behind my neck to help her keep track.
She loves the number 3
*Tonight L came downstairs in one of my dresses. I got upset, but Brent quietly
told me, "Be patient, she just wants to be like her mommy."
*We're doing something where if they get their jobs done by 11:15
they get a button to save for the Mommy and Daddy store.
They have to get dressed, brush their hair, make their beds, L also does her
homework and practices piano.
*Christmas is almost here, time keeps sneaking up on me!
*We're mostly healthy right now, and I'm trying to make healtier meals, one small
baby step at a time.
*We've had a big snowstorm and Brent brought the snow in for the girls
on Saturday.

December 1st, 2009
I'm sitting and writing in my journal by the light of the Christmas tree with the kids finally all asleep and Brent on his way home from taking his final.
Ryan has started coming up and sitting on my lap with a book and pointing at the pictures. Love it!
When Brent came through the door today Eden looked at him and said, "Woah, it's a big one!"
Laura's famous catch phrase right now is, "You're the best (insert: mommy, daddy, friend, piano teacher, ) in the whole world!" Her eyes just light up when she says it too. She really wants to make everyone around her feel good.
I can't remember what she had just done in this picture but I happened to be holding my camera and caught her face:
