Train park

Since we were so close to the Train park we decided to take the kids to see the lights and ride the train. So we found some where to get some dinner then headed over to Scottsdale.  We didn't realize it was opening weekend so it was packed!  While Joe waited in the hour line to ride the train I took the kids to take pictures and ride the carousal.

 Finally on the train!!!!!

After a long fun filled day we were all ready to get some sleep!

Science center

we finally made it into the museum for the fun!

 Emma loves this thing so much when she got off she was so dizzy she fell over and hit her head on the wall.  Then she went back to it 5 minutes later.... crazy girl!

 Joe laying on a bed of nails.

So after a ward party, cleaning the back yard, playing in the leaves and the museum our fun still didn't end for the day...

LEAVES LEAVES LEAVES

Since this was the last saturday together as a family before christmas we packed everything in.  First the ward party then yard work then off the the science center.  There were lots of pretty yellow leaves on the ground so the kids had to stop and play with them before going in!

My new camera

Well I got a new camera and just wanted to play with it so here are a few pics of my kids in the back yard!

I just need to figure out all the different settings!  But I sure have cute kids to take pics of for practice!

Ward party

As you can see Reagan was not to happy about seeing Santa clause.  The only way I could get her near him is by doing a family picture.

Bath with cousins

Last week I watched Jaxon and Troy for a few days.  Reagan was in heaven having 2 friends to play with all day!

It's begining to look a lot like christmas!

The Sunday after thanksgiving Joe and the kids talked me into putting the tree up.  It was so fun to see their excitement as they decorated the tree!

3D FUN

The day after thanksgiving Nana treated us to a movie.  We went to see Tangled in 3D.  It was the kids first 3D movie and they loved it.  Reagan refused to wear the glasses but all the rest did great!

The girls at the end. they loved the movie!

there can be too much chocolate

the other day Reagan came in with a face like this and I asked her what was on her face.  she said chocolate and I instantly thought I don't have any chocolate in the house,  She brought me to Tyler's room to find this...

Later I went to feed the dog and found this....

It was so thick with chocolate!

Thanksgiving day!

I am Thankful for

A guy in our ward deep fries every ones turkey so we thought we would give it a shot this year.  so here is our lovely turkey...

 Then we headed over the Emily's for some family time.  The kids watched a movie while we finished the meal.

 We served up the kids
