My camera!

What happens whenever I let Aaron take my digital camera to a cage fight? It comes home broken. I've gone through 2 cameras in the past 2 years. It's ok.....because Aaron always goes up in quality when he buys me a new one! So, no camera = no blog posts.

Disneyland!

Oh yeah...Jax just loved being in his stroller
all day!


Met with Santa and saw all his reindeer.

Of course I can't figure out how to rotate it!

Perfect picture

Meeting Goofy right when we walked through

the gates!

Right before Christmas, me, the kids, and my mom went to Disneyland! We had soooo much fun! Lots of long lines, saw some celebrities, waited in more lines, ate lots of goodies, went on everything but Space Mountain and Matterhorn! Nellie and I waited in line for 1 hour to meet the Princesses. Well, we only got to meet Cinderella, Snow White, and Minnie Mouse, but it was so exciting to see Nellie talk to them. She got to talk to them alone for about 5 minutes each and have pictures taken. Well, right after the photo session, all the princesses came out for Courtney Cox and David Arquett's kid. Their kids about knocked me over, and Courtney Cox told me sorry. I just stood there like a nerd, being all star struck....but it was pretty cool. They were heading to Pixie Hollow after the princesses...so I decided to follow them. We just followed like we were with them. Oh well, it was funny! We also saw that giant guy from Happy Gilmore, the guy who gets shot in the head with a nail gun. He had a whole entourage with him. I'm missing my famous people and Pixie Hollow pics, but i'll put them up when I find them!

Some Disneyland pics.

Waiting in line


Riding the tram to Disneyland.

Jax was not digging the hat! But he's still a

cutie!

Enough pictures....let's go on some

rides!

In Toon Town. Dad would be proud of his

little jail birds.

Just some random pics..

He's just growing up too fast.


He looks cute, but he's really throwing a fit.



Crazy Brodey and the little elf.

Up to no good, probably.

Part of his fit....smiling because the cameras out!

Live Nativity...

Joseph, Mary, and the Angel


Here comes the shepherd....beating baby Jesus
and the Christmas tree.


Comic relief

Brodey and Nellie practiced their lines for me

all day.

Mary, baby Jesus, and the proud Joseph.

After the fashion show, the cousins performed

the Nativity for us. They did a great job! And Wednesday

they will be "performing" again at the ward Christmas party.

Nellie will be Mary and Brodey will be a shepherd. Jax will not

be carrying a shepherd's crook in public!

Fashion show...

Nellie, Brodey, Brooklee, and Jax! These cousins
really love each other.


Brodey and his girls.

Jax and Brooklee parading out.

On Sunday, Aaron's parents had us all over for a Christmas family home evening. These are some of the pics from the annual Grandkid Christmas fashion show. Aaron's mom made Nellie and Brooklee beautiful dresses and made bow ties for Brodey and Jax. So adorable!

Aaron and kids all dressed up.

Saturday, Aaron and the kids went to his cousins funeral in Holbrook. His cousin, Jim Mitchell was a police officer for Holbrook, so Aaron had to wear his dress uniform. He looked pretty cute in it. I especially like the Dudley Do Right hat! The kids are all about anything that includes dressing up and hanging out with Grandma and Papa for the day.

Glasses for Brodey!

A couple of weeks ago, the school said Brodey might need an eye exam! Boy were they right! His eyes are horrible!! Poor thing...his glasses are thicker than mine....but it can only help right! When he was having his exam, he got excited because he "could see!" Yep, that is pretty exciting! He was a little mad when I wouldn't get him the most expensive, Nike glasses, but he had fun trying on every pair. We decided on the most flexible, blue pair we could find. He loves cleaning them with the special cloth they gave us. By the way...I am taking bets on when these lovely glasses will break......any takers??!!

Halloween pics...

We had lots of fun for Halloween. We had Ironman, Belle, and Pirate "Jax" Sparrow! It was a busy day....trickortreating, trunk ortreating, carnival, and visiting family! Nanny was here and sure was scary! She said she dressed up as an Old Hag for Aaron! At the trunkortreating, one of the cars had a real tarantula in the candy bowl......what kind of sicko's think that is funny!?? I sure didn't!!! The kids thought it was cool though.

Nanny's visit!

We had lots of fun when Nanny came to visit us during Halloween! Here are some pics of cookie decorating and pumpkin carving. And I have no idea why my pictures did this...I'm done trying to figure out my computer!!!!!

The big game!

Guess who did the art work?

Such a cutie!

Two good lookin' guys.

That red head in the back is Tyler....the cutie
cousin!


Round Valley played Show Low last Friday....and let me say...it was a tense game. I think Show Low brought the refs with them. Anyways...the kids had fun! Let me just say that I'm glad RV has a dome...because it was a cold night. I don't think Jax would have lasted in the cold!!

Homecoming parade

On the way to the parade

Searching for candy

Nevermind watching the parade, where is the
candy??


Football team
Last Friday was the homecoming parade here in town. The kids love parades because parades mean CANDY!! I love parades because they bring back memories of me being in every single parade from 1992-1998 in Chandler, Arizona. Well, more than Chandler...but anyways! The kids had a blast....we got to see Aaron in his police car in the parade....and did I say CANDY!

Brodey's field trip

Look at this cute guy! Just waiting to leave
for the field trip!

My little group of guys!

Kade and Brodey searching for treasures.

Brodey digging in the dirt.

Gathering up for a picture.






Last week I went with Brodey on his field trip to Greer. We had a lot of fun! I was put in charge of four little guys...Brodey, Kade, Gary, and Garrett. They were so good! We hiked on the Butler Nature Trail, looked for certain trees and leaves, and then we ate lunch by a little stream. When we got to the lunch spot, the teachers told the kids to stay away from the water. Yah right! No one fell in...but there were lots of wet shoes. I'm glad I got to go !
