MARILYN IS SO STINKIN NICE!

My friend Mar crochetted these cute hats. She is amazing and these hats are adorable!!

SLEEP OVERS

Haley and Loren had a sleepover. Not much sleepin was goin on but lots of giggling and fun!

It's nice that Jessi and McKenzie are sisters and are both best friends with Haley and Loren. It makes it easy and fun! We like easy and fun!

CHRISTMAS FUN!

Loving the season! We've enjoyed parties, family, friends and lots of neighbor treats! I think this is just a good time! I love the lights and cheer and really just the feeling! Brennan and I have lots of girls to share this with. I love it!, Love Brennan, and Love my girls!

Happy HO-HO-HOlidays!

Swine Flu Shots

Finally, I was able to get the swine flu shot for my girls! Ems got hers at the hospital at work but I was worried especially about Lyss because she has asthma so bad. They were all happy until we got right up to our turn!

That really hurt!

Loren was scared. It made me sad. but she was brave and let them do their thing!

Bad hair, honkin coldsores and a shot!

Ward Christmas Party

Last night we had our ward party. So much fun! Santa and his Elf were there. The elf kinda freaked Loren out. At least Santa didn't smell like smoke and beer like he did last year : )

THANKSGIVING

Playing Wii and with them all playing, it got tense and really loud!

Plum tuckered out

I love Thanksgiving! I love being all together and I love the food. (especially moms-and gramma's fruit salad)

Brannon came down from BYU and spent the wknd with us. We had a good time!

EMS IS HOME

Ems is home. Her roommate decided that she didn't like living in Salt Lake anymore and wanted to move home. The contract was in her name so that meant that Ems wouldn't have a place to live after the contract sold. She was sad and a little mad, but I think it will be good in the long run. It will give Ems the opportunity to pay off her car sooner. She will try to get a job a little closer to home. She wants to get on at McKaydee hospital and then go to Weber. I think she learned a lot in the short time she was away. I love my Ems!

SAIDIE HAWKINS DANCE

Lyssi went to the Saidie's Dance for Syracuse High. They had a lot of fun! Her and her friends had a progressive dinner. They ate salad at Sara's, pizza at our house and dessert at Taylors. They all looked so cute. They went to a motuary after the dance. Sara's brother lives at the mortuary in Ogden. He took them into the embalming room and they saw a few dead people. She said it was cool and a little creepy. She had a good time with her friends!

Getting Creative W/Halloween Candy

This weekend Loren was bored and spent about an hour sculpting her Halloween candy. It was fun for her and it kept her busy.

Party at the Soifua's! It was so much fun! We had lots of yummy soups and treat and fun people!

Isn't Halloween fun?!! cooky kids!

We played marshmellow shooting! it sure made a mess but lots and lots of fun!

Brennan has such poise and balance!

Up close and personal!

This is right before we all toppled over!

Ems Apartment

This is Ems apartment. She shares it with her friend Staci and another girl. It is so cute! I love it! It was so hard for me to let her go. She is only about 40 minutes away but she's not home. I hate locking the door at night w/her not here. But, she needs to spread her wings...so they say. She is working and loving it and going to school. I am so proud of her and how responsible she is. She is an angel and will always be my baby!

4TH OF JULY!

We went to the fireworks in Layton. It was fun! I love watching all of the people. It was packed, just like it always is. But, that makes it fun! It was nice to have all four girls with us. It's so hard with all of their work schedules. It was fun. Lyssi brought Justin and Ems brought Staci. My mom, dad, Shelly & Kasey came. Clint and Mindy came later just in time for the fireworks to start. Justin went and got a football and we played. I didn't realize how good of a tackler I am. I had Lyssi scared! It was fun just hanging out with all of us!
