BYU Creamery

We love the Creamery on 9th! When we need a treat or want to take the kids out to eat for a special occasion, it's generally the Creamery. On this occasion, Mike had finished his last final and we were celebrating one more semester down and only one more to go! I feel like we've tried to really create a BYU experience for our kids, and the Creamery is definitely part of BYU!




After taking this picture, Tanner said, "Mom, was my smile the biggest?" He's such a cutie!

I love days like this!

I love days when I don't rush my children. They dress, brush teeth, make beds, and we happily head out the door to a fun MBASA activity (music and dancing at a church gym)! We love when we get to meet our favorite daddy at our favorite university for lunch, the candy counter, mail a package, and a run through the WILK. Then home for some bike riding in the driveway. Days like this are much better than days when Andrew asks if I have a baby in my tummy ("because it looks like there's a baby in there") and my Bosch walks off the counter and the bowl breaks.

I've been gone from the blog, which is really a log of we've done this and that. I've got some updating to do and I'm hoping to stay more on top of it. Wish me luck!

Cousin Christmas Party

We're in our last semester and I know this will all end soon, so I try to enjoy every opportunity to be with family. Our cousin Christmas party was another gathering that was just so fun and it will be so sad when we won't have this next year!

All the kids were playing in the basement and Amelia and I went to call them up for the party dressed like this. I think I'm pretty funny.

We started with a classic game of pass the candy cane, so cute to see these kids try to figure this out. We made Rudolph by tracing our hands and feet. It was an easy and cute project!

Then, we ended with a talent show and sang a few Christmas songs together. I guess I used my video camera more than my still frame. It was a great party, we love our cousins and only wish the Thayn and McCauley cousins could have been there too!
