My Cute Sister!

I called my sister in early November and told her she HAD to come down to AZ and visit, and she DID!! I was so stinkin excited to have her. We had such a super time together and I so badly wish that we could live closer. I LOVE MY SISTER CONNIE!!
Come on you know me better than that!

I can't believe my kids stayed awake until midnight

My mom and dad also made the 7 hour trek up from Yuma, AZ to visit for a few days, it was so much fun!

My sister and I have fun no matter where we go, that's how awesome we are.

Ward Christmas Party

Alli played Mary

Porter was a not so happy donkey




It is so fun to see them do stuff like this, it just makes me giggle.

Quick Rundown

My little Porter turned 4 on November 28. He got a super great bounce back racer and a big dinosaur that growled from Grandma. He is just the greatest.
We spent Thanksgiving with my parents at the senior retirment park in Yuma, AZ and you know what that means. BINGO BABY!!! I played and had a blast.

On the way to Thanksgiving we checked out the Phoenix zoo with some of our friends.

Of course we went to the opening of New Moon. Ahhh Jacob you are so lovely!!

We are people who get the tree done fast and early, before Thanksgiving. We even cut down our own this year and the kids loved it.

Went flying up to northern Utah for Halloween where of course our family was The Wizard of Oz theme. I thought we were pretty stinkin cute and my husband was a great sport.

Flying Monkey, Dorothy, and the Lion

Pumpking Patch in Snowflake

My scary little creatures.

We have 11 kids that live at the Sunrise Park Ski Resort with us so of course we had a Halloween party. Cookie decorating, Hocus Pocus, and dancing to strobe light.

Crafty Kathy

If it wasn't for church Super Saturday I would never have anything crafty in my house. Our ward made these cute magnet boards this past month and I just LOVE them. I will probably hang up schoolwork, church coloring papers, or jobs on these boards. It is just a piece of pressed board with 4 1/2 inch scrapbook paper squares modge podge around and a piece of sheet metal in the middle. Pretty easy I think, even though I showed up and most of the prep work was already done for me. I am proud of myself. WATCH OUT MARTHA STEWART!!

My Must-Have!!

For the past 3 months I have been FRANTIC!! This wonderful product Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cream has been missing from all the pharmacy shelves in my town. I checked Wal-mart, Walgreens, K-mart and even drove to a remote drug store to find it but it was nowhere to be found. I finally ordered it online at drugstore.com. I LOVE this product. I still get acne and if I use just an acne moisturizer it is too drying and makes my wrinkles show. If I use a wrinkle moisturizer it is WAY too greasy and it gives me zits and so this stuff is the best!! If I am ever out of it I always break out. It's my favorite thing and I wanted to share my joy. I sure hope that it doesn't get discontinued because I might freak out!!

Ryker's First Job

Yep, he's not quite 18 months old but he's gotta earn his keep. Ryker is now in charge of feeding our dog "Fat Boy". MY first job was putting the empty milk bottles on the front porch (that tells you how old I am)

Porter's Haircut

This is what happens when I left Porter alone with scissors, he took a HUGE chunk out of the front of his hair and well.... therefore its all gotta come off!
He never usually cries when getting his hair cut but this time he was in trouble so it was a different story.

Ending on a high note we cut his hair on the front porch and human hair keeps away skunks (yep thats a tip from me to you)
