Santa Clause

We took the kids this week to get pictures with Santa Clause, Madison was so excited to tell Santa all the things she wanted. Hunter couldn't stop staring at him, and would never look at the camera. After the picture was taken, Madison kinda got shy and started twirling her hair, but she manage to tell him that she wanted Strawberry Shortcake Makeover Doll, Coraline and for Hunter cars or trucks.

Madison twirling her hair, telling Santa what she wants.

After Santa we went to eat and in South Towne Mall they have a carousal that Madison had to go on, while we were eating and watching it go around and around, Madison keep saying that's the one I want to ride on, no this one, she just couldn't make up her mind. The kids had a blast.

Ginger Bread House

Last night when we were at my mom's for Sunday dinner, and we made our ginger bread house. Madison and Hunter had a blast, Hunter I think loved eating and the pieces for the house though!! Ashley and I were talking and we think that the picture the put on the box shouldn't be made by a professional it should be done by and average Joe, so when your done making yours you don't feel so bad. Anyways we had fun and we think it turn out great!! Here's are finished product.

Then they got naked and dance around the Christmas tree!!

Pettey Christmas Party

Kay(Steve's mom) was in charge of the annual Pettey Christmas Party. It was very nice, we had yummy soups and salads, and the desert was delicious. Steve couldn't make it though because he had to work :( Madison loved playing with all the kids her age, her and Aubree play together great. Hunter loved it as well, he loved running wild through the church. Kay had fun games for the kids, and she a fun musical at the end. When we were cleaning up, Jill got out the big church vacuum and was giving the kids rides Madison loved it, my camera died then and I didn't get pictures. It was very nice to see all extended family that we only see twice a year.

Disney On Ice

This past weekend we took Madison to Disney Princess on ice. Her little eyes were glued to the ice skaters. She loved it all, but her favorites were when Mickey, Minnie and Tinkerbell when they would come out between the scenes. The Little Mermaid, they had all the fish glowing and she loved the sea witch. Snow white and the dwarfs, she thought the little men were so cute. And of course Cinderella which was the main show. The only thing was that my camera wasn't taking very good pictures :( but it was alot of fun and she said she can't wait to go again.

Happy Halloween

Madison was so excited to go treat or tricking this year that's all she could talk about. We usually hit a few friends houses and then hand out candy, but she wanted to trick or treat. We went around are neighborhood and had done a few blocks, Hunter was done so him and daddy went home to answer the door for the trick or treaters. Madison and I went 20 more minutes and then she was saying her bag was to full to carry and she had enough candy, so we went back home. She still had so much fun opening the door and handing out the candy. She would get so excited seeing all the kids dress up, and would run tell daddy what all the kids were.

Our cute little pirate and little pirate monkey!

Mommy's little monkey man!!

Miss Pirate

We went and did the annual Hutch's Parade walk. What it is for you who don't know, all the stores on main street give out candy and the kids walk down it going in and out of the stores. So Lehi has a tattoo place and earlier that day I bought Madison some stick on tattoos, so when we walked in the guy handing candy had a full sleeve of tattoos, and so told him,"look I have tattoos just like you," he laugh. I just though it was pretty funny!

Mommy and the kids!

Early that day we went to Aunt Ashley and did Carmel apples. Madison was such a good little helper. It was alot of fun!!

Madison started eating the apple before we got to dip it she thought it was pretty cool with a stick on it, and she said that it was easier to eat that way! :)

Our finished apples yummy!!

Preschool Party

So today Madison had her Preschool Halloween Party. She was so excited to see what all the other kids were going to be. I was excited, I got to help out with a Halloween game, pin the face on Frankenstein. The other two mothers read Halloween stories and made a popcorn witch hand. The kids had so much fun and are so cute.

Here are the kids in Madison's class.

Aspen, Madilyn, Madison, Lola, Cole, Lucy, Ryker E, Cade and Ryker P

These are Madison's best friends! Lola and Aspen, she is always talking about them!

My cute little pirate!!

Hunter was just so stinking cute in this picture, with his pumpkin hat playing with Madison's kitchen.

Carving Pumpkins

So these were the pumpkins we carved!! Of course, our pumpkins are, Scooby Doo and Sponge Bob. Ashley carved the headless horseman and Jack. Madison the whole time before we started carving keep saying how she wanted to help, as soon as she started pulling the pumpkin guts out she didn't want to help any more saying "I don't like how slimy it feels." So Ashley and I carved all the pumpkins by ourselves.

Happy Birthday Uncle Brett

Last Sunday we went over to my mom and dad's for dinner, and Brett's Birthday. My sister Ashley did such a great job on the cake!! We made the cake more for the kids than my brother I think. Madison loved it and loved helping Uncle Brett blow out the candles, (just fyi if you have a birthday cake plan on Madison blowing out the candles for you!) Uncle Brett and Madison

Gardner Village

We went last week to Gardner Village for are annual girls day, plus Hunter to see the witches. Madison loves it and thinks that she has to take pictures next to all the witches, which we almost did. Hunter is now official walking, so that was fun when he didn't want to say in the stroller and wanted to walk the whole time. So he did, and had to see and touch all the pumpkins they had. Madison got to meet the main witch and dance with her, she also got her face painted with the witch glitter.




After all the fun and eating at Archibald's, we headed back to my moms car, we got in and it wouldn't start, so thinking it was just the battery we had my Aunt jump the car, it worked. So off we went we are about 20 minutes from home and the car goes from 60 to 0, so we pulled off the freeway and then waited for my dad to bring a new battery. The kids actually did very good, Madison thought this was pretty cool watching all the cars fly by. My dad gets there and changes the battery. When we got home Madison reminded me that she didn't get to ride the horses and feed the animals and when I take her back to do that not to ride in Nana's car.

Hunter's Cozy Coupe

We finally got the Cozy Coupe put together, or should I say Steve finally got it together, either way Hunter loves it. Are driveway has a slight hill just enough for it to roll down by its self, so we put him in and down he rolled, he was laughing the whole time. I love how it has a handle on the back of it so easy to push him. That first day of being in it forever, when we got him out he was kicking and crying and grabbing for it to get back in. He sees it every time we get in the car and starts pointing and making trunk noises and wiggles trying to get out of my arms to get in. Thank you Aunts for such a cute toy.
