The Perfect Shoe Tie

So, Reese has been working on learning to tie her shoes for awhile now, but she couldn't quite get the pull through step. Well, tonight while Adam and Noah were returning Wall-E and Tinkerbell (both excellent movies), I thought it would be a good time to practice. The proof is in the video!!

Yea Reese!! We are so proud of you and we love you!!

West Side Story

Adam, the kids, and I made a journey down to Payson yesterday to see Adam's little sister Anne (aka Bananas) in West Side Story. She was one the "The Jets" girls. Adam was in lots of plays and muscials when he was in high school, so he was excited to see the legacy continued on by his sister, even if it was at a different high school (they just built Salem Hills High School that half of Payson and half of Spanish Fork now go to). Our favorite character, besides Anne of course, was the sister Anita, she was very funny.






S0, this last picture is my favorite. It was freezing last night, so I had my coat and scarf, but Adam had nothing, so I told him to wear my scarf out to the car :) Then, I was getting ready to unlock the car, so I asked him to hold my purse...the result is priceless...

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Barnett (aka Mom and Dad) for watching the kids so we could have a night out at the "theater"! We love you!! And great job Bananas!!

Disney on Ice

About a week and a half ago we went to see Disney on Ice. It was so fun to see the kids reactions. Reese dressed up like Sleeping Beauty and I gave her "Sleeping Beauty hair". Noah got pretty restless by the second half, but he made it through it, wearing his Mickey Mouse hat the whole time.





It was so fun to have my mom, Kathy, John, and Baby Ryan with us. By the end of the night we were all exhausted, but we had a great time!

Leaves!

It has been so nice to have a backyard that the kids can play in now. For those of you who don't know, we completely tore up and remodeled our backyard this year. So, the kids have been playing outside in the leaves. They rake them all up in a pile by themselves and jump in them. I don't mind as long as I'm not the one who has to keep raking them!!





They play so wonderful together, with the exception of the occasional hair-pulling by Noah. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful children.

This really is my favorite time of year. I had a great Halloween, birthday, and now we are into the Holiday Season! On I school note, I am offically registered for my last semester of school. I can't believe it! I never thought this day would come. Only 5 months to graduation!

We hope everyone is keeping warm in this cold weather!
