Ten on Tuesday

1. We celebrated Daniel's birthday on Friday. It was a bit of a busy day with Seminary, changes at work, and school that night. But he made it home in time for cake with the girls. Happy Birthday Daniel...we love you!

2. Our Thanksgiving was wonderful but uneventful...no pictures and very little accomplished but Daniel did let me go shopping on Black Friday...loved it!

3. QOTD: I was finishing up Lydia's stocking when I said; "Girls did you know that Santa is going to come on Christmas and fill your stockings with toys and presents?"
Liesel: "Oooooooh, that's so nice!"

4. I have been up to my neck in projects...making pajamas for the girls and their babies, working frantically on our gift for the lucky member(s) of my family who's name we drew, finishing stockings, shopping, finishing my Christmas cards (sorry for the delay...our printer broke), and it seems like more are added everyday. I think I over book myself at Christmas.

5. Daniel's job title changed again on Friday. He is now a Sales Associate at the Bluffs. Anyone you know looking for a town home in Colorado Springs? We are really grateful to still be employed and are so grateful for the Lord's kindness to us.

6. We got our Christmas tree on Saturday and the girls are thrilled. Our candy canes only made it two days and only the top half of the tree is decorated (Lydia can't keep away) but we love the sent it brings and the girls love to plug in the lights.

7. Daniel now only has a week and a half of school and we are thrilled. He has worked so hard and has been so consistent through the past year and a half. He deserves a great vacation.

8. Vacation you say...coming right up. We head for Andrew's wedding and a visit to Disney Land as soon as class is over on the 17ht! Any Disneyland survival tips?

9. We were so grateful to watch the Christmas Devotional on Sunday. You can watch it here.

10. Neglected to lock up my craft closet today and now have embossing powder and stamp pad ink dotting my bedroom carpet. Does anyone have any bright ideas of removing that?

Goooooo COUGARS!

We went to the BYU vs. Air Force football game on Saturday (thanks again Brian & Rachel for the great tickets!) The girls did pretty well. Liesel spent most of the time pretending to giggle...and kicking everyone around her trying to decide where to sit.

Eliza wanted to go home until we snatched her friend Hailey from a few rows behind and had her sit with us...Thanks for being such a great cheer partner Hailey!Lydia was by far the happiest of the bunch...she was a perfect angle to whole game.It was great to see our Cougars pull out another win. We had a few mistakes but overall they played well. We are hoping and cheering them on to another win this weekend against Utah...COME ON COUGARS...YOU CAN DO IT!

Excuse the delay but...

Happy Halloween!
We've been distracted at our house with voting and designing our Christmas Card and with this... A little book for my sister of the pictures I took at her reception (sorry Jen that it is so late).

Here are a few pictures from our Halloween. We went to a couple of different parties so the girls were a Snowman, Bee, and Ladybug for one and Cheerleaders for the other. They loved the fun.

The girls favorite part of the whole holiday was handing out Candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. Daniel had school and I wasn't about to take them by myself. Eliza loved holding the bowl and telling the high schoolers to say Happy Halloween before they got a treat. Fun times.

On another note...my Christmas card is turning out super cute...if you want one in the mail send along your address!

Ten on Tuesday--Pictures

Welcome to our new blog! Daniel helped me get some pictures of the girls the other day and I want to know which is your favorite. Take a look at my new watermarks too. What do you think?

PS Daniel actually designed the watermarks...isn't he great?

Our Day

We're teething today...we'll try to post again soon.

Ten on Tuesday

1. Did you know there is a Prophet on the earth today. President Thomas S. Monson spoke to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Saturday and Sunday. You can listen to him and other leaders here.

2. I ran across this picture of Liesel the other day. I just love it.

3. QOTD: (Which is actually the quote of everyday) Eliza: When Andrew gets married, I get to see Princesses! Can you tell we are excited to go to California?

4. Lydia is working on getting her second tooth. She has also decided she will not eat another spoonful of baby food. Only the good stuff now. Sometimes when she knows that we are eating something that she doesn't have she'll start to yell at us. She is learning from her sisters really quickly.

5. We built a fort the other day and the girls loved it. Even Lydia wanted to get in on the fun. She would crawl in and look around and then get distracted by something else. As soon as Eliza and Liesel would start giggling though...she was right back to the fun.

6. Looking for some fun Halloween crafts and treats? We loved looking here.

7. Did you know that Sleeping Beauty came out today? I am so excited to go get our copy. Eliza and I were dancing and singing all morning.

8. My sweet neighbor Peggy came over today with my birthday present...a new plant. It is so cute and I already re potted it and have a spot picked out. Oh how a plant can liven up a place.

9. Book Review: Have all of you heard about the new Nursery Manuel put out by the church? It is fantastic. We have been using the lessons for Family Home Evening and the girls love them. We don't have to ask them to sit and be quiet. It truly is a blessing from heaven. You can download all the lessons and picture here.

10. We had our very own football party last Friday Night. BYU was playing Utah State and we watched over the Internet. To celebrate the occasion we decorated and I made these.

The party was a huge hit and the Cougars Won! It was a great night for all.
