Austin Man turns 2!

My little baby turned 2 on January 22! (And yes he is still my baby even though he's not quite a baby, and rather a crazy toddler!) We started out the day with his favorite- pancakes. Then we made a cake and celebrated real quick before Aaron had to head off to school! The next day we had a big family party with Aaron's side with Statlen in St. George, UT. (They are 8 hours apart!)
Austin has such a funny personality and especially LOVES to make the wierdest faces as you can see! I just love my little man to pieces!

Disney on Ice!

Sienna and I went on a little date to Disney on Ice in January. She loved every second of it! She begged me to get her a snow cone (which was freaking $12!!) but I just had to give in! I love this little girl and I am so glad to have one! (Hopefully one day she will get a sister but if not, it's ok- i just love her!)

Best Friends

I really don't know where I would be without these two crazies in my life! They drive me crazy but I love them even more!

Temple Square

While we were in Utah we got all bundled up and went to see the Temple Square lights. There was lots of whining and complaining from the boys of the family but we made them go!! (Brothers and dad....enjoy your sisters for those of you who have them!!) It was FREEZING! I think it was about 15 degress that night but it was still fun to go see the beautiful lights and temple grounds!

Christmas 2009

So I know I am WAY late with this post but better late than never, right? Things have been a little crazy around here to say it mildly! My cousin Brittany moved in with us at the beginning of the year, Aaron is NEVER home, my kids have had to adjust to sharing a room , I have had to adjust to A LOT of things, and i just have had NO desire to blog! My free time is spent sitting on the couch exhausted! I better get caught up so I can not have any gaps in my book! For Christmas this year we headed up to my parents house in Springville, UT. My kids loved the snow and it was a nice change for it to actually feel like Christmas! We stayed up there for a whole week and did lots of FUN things as a family! Santa helped Sienna's grandpa Bruce build her a barbie house for Christmas. Due to the size of it he delivered it the night before we left! =)

She loves it and plays with it ALL the time! I think it is so special her grandpa built it for her.

CHRISTMAS EVE:

We hung out with my dad's side of the family. We had lunch at Tucano's. (DELICIOUS!)and then headed over to my grandma & grandpa Callister's new house in Mapleton. They had a program which they do every year and Sienna sang for the whole family. (close to 30 people I would say) We had to finally pull her off that microphone after 3 songs. haha- I don't know where she gets her performing abiulities!;D I have a feeling she is going to be like her cousins on the Albright side! Watch out signature productions!

My kids LOVE these girls!

Grandpa was sure entertained during the program..haha!

CHRISTMAS DAY:

WAY too spoiled!!

When grandma & grandpa get you a bike on Christmas , it is too cold to go outside so you ride it inside...=)
My mom and I took Sienna to her FIRST movie in the theatre. Alvin & the Chipmunks. She did pretty good!

Once it heated up a bit (to a whole 20 degrees) they went out to ride! My kids had serious whining issues over "snow clothes" but they got over it!
Overall Christmas was a success and really fun to spend time as a family! Onto the next post when I get some more energy!

Merry Christmas!!

This is what I get when I tell them to say cheese!! Hilarious! We are off to Utah tomorrow morning to be with my family. (After this we will be staying HOME for the holidays!!) Such a pain! We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas & a Happy New Year!!

Sienna's Christmas Program

Last week Sienna had her Joy School Christmas Program. It was really cute! We had dinner with the families and then the girls acted out the Nativity and sang their songs for us. Sienna loves going to school and I must say I love her going to!!=) The girls all did a wonderful job! They also went and sang at an old folks home and the ladies LOVED it! Sienna is SUCH a performer and I won't be surprised if she isn't the star of some play some day or up singing somewhere!
