Christmas

Christmas was so much fun this year. Sheridyn was so excited for Santa to come. We stayed at my parents house Christmas Eve and my Dad had her so wired! Every hour or so, they would run outside and see if Santa was on the roof. She loved every minute of it. She even sang Jingle Bells to all of us by herself. She is turning into a little performer. We had all my family together for Christmas, it was so fun. We played games, ate good food, opened presents and watched Christmas Vacation. It was just like when we all lived at home!

Elder Colton Worthen Returned With Honor

My little brother Colton came home on Tuesday! He is reporting his mission at the Cedar Stake Center at 9:00 tomorrow morning! I am so proud of my little bro! He went on an LDS mission to San Jose, California. He is doing so good, he looks great and he has the same great personality. I love him so much and we have all pretty much smothered him since he got home. Sheridyn even loves him and has wanted to see him everyday. She thought it was so cool to see him fly in on a plane. Colton got to meet Jaylee for the first time and Danielle's husband Dave. It is so great to have him home just in time for Christmas!!

The Best Day

Yesterday was seriously one of the funnest days we've had in a while! The last 3 years Sheridyn has been scared to death of Santa. She hasn't wanted anything to do with him and screams her head off if Santa gets to close. Even when she was only 1 month old she screamed when we handed her to Santa!! This year was a whole different story. It is like she is a whole different kid! We started the day with having breakfast with Santa at the Heritage Center. The minute we walked in she saw Santa and wanted to go over to him. He was walking around the room saying hi to all the kids and she shook his hand and told him she wanted a dolly for Christmas. Then the minute that Santa went and sat down in his chair she wanted to go sit on his lap! So we went over there and sat on his lap and told him she wanted a Barbie. It was so cute. Later that afternoon we went to the Storybook Parade. I have never been to this parade and it was so cute! It is seriously a parade that could be on TV. Cedar has really went all out on this parade. Sheridyn loved every minute of it and it was so much fun. They have so many fun characters and elaborate floats. Right after that we went to Santa Land and got to have pictures taken with the princesses. They had so many beautiful trees and decorations. I bet it has taken them all year to set this up. Then we got to have a picture on Santa's lap. After the picture Sheridyn even gave Santa a hug! It was a great day.

I found this on my sister-in-law's blog and thought it was pretty funny. So I had to make one for myself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERIDYN

Sheridyn turned 3 years old yesterday! I can't believe it has been 3 years. She is growing up fast. We had a little party for her yesterday we invited family and her best friend Lainey. She was so excited all day for her party. We made her cake together that morning. Then when everyone came we made our own personal pizza's, played pin the tail on the donkey, opened presents and then we watched the new Tinkerbell movie. She loved every minute of it, it was a good day.

Laughing

Jaylee is laughing!! She did her first laugh last week, I was playing with her with a stuffed monkey and she giggled. It was so cute! Then this week I got her second laugh on video!! It was first thing in the morning and Sheridyn's hair was wild! So she was saying "rarrr" to Jaylee and she thought it was so funny. You have to listen really close and you might have to turn up your volume but you can hear Jaylee laugh at the end.

3 months

Jaylee turned 3 months old yesterday! I wish time would just slow down! I took these pictures today mostly for my website www.babyblossom.biz to show the two different sizes of beanies, but it just turned out so cute! I think this is the best picture I have got of the two of them together!

Hugs from Jesus

I was reading the Ensign this morning and Sheridyn saw a picture of Jesus and she said, "Jesus love me, he gives me big hugs in the temple." How cute is that. That is definitely one of the cutest things she has ever said.

Halloween Fun

My sweet little pumpkin!

This is Sheridyn and her friend Lainey. They went to the carnival at East Elementary. They held hands the whole time. They were so cute and had a blast playing all the fun games. They are the cutest little friends.

For Family night we carved pumpkins and decorated cookies. Sheridyn loved it!

James and I had a little Halloween party at our house this year. We all dressed up as couples and played games and ate yummy food. We all had a blast. Danielle and Dave dressed up as Emo's. Mary and Casey were little red riding hood and a lumber jack and James and I were Polygamists.

My birthday this year was pretty crazy. First I wake up to about 3-4 inches of snow on the ground! Not my favorite thing. Then some friends took me to lunch and on my way there my car was pulling a little, but I thought it was just all the snow and water on the road. Well when I got to the restaurant I was getting the girls out of the car and saw that I had a flat tire! Come to find out at the tire place that they can not fix the tire because I drove on it. I was so mad my tires are $170 a piece. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Later I went to dinner with my family and when we were getting ready to leave I dumped my drink all over the baby car seat! Thank heavens I had her canopy on or it would have been all over Jaylee. So we head out to the car and we start driving off and here comes my leftover food down the windshield! I had forgot and left it on top of the car. So James pulled over and I was about to get out and get it and the windshield wipers got it and smashed my Costa Vida salad all over the window! James and I were laughing so hard we were crying. It was a pretty amazing day. Oh well, i guess it just happens all at once. I did have fun with my friends and family and I got some sweet presents so it was all good!

Pumpkin Fest

This weekend we went to the Pumpkin Fest, it was so much fun. Sheridyn loved every minute of it. She bowled with pumpkins, played in leaves, decorated a cookie, face painting, pumpkin decorating, ate donuts off a string and more! It was only $5 it was a blast. Then right after we were done we watched some of the parade and then went to PF for lunch. Sheridyn was so exhausted she fell asleep on the way home. James and I even had a nap! It was a great Saturday.

Eating Donuts with "Papa".

Pumpkin Decorating

Every year my work has a pumpkin decorating contest. So this year we made a beaded pumpkin with cute little beaded spiders. Sheridyn loved putting beads on the wires, she sat there for over an hour doing it. I was pretty impressed that she could put the little hole on the bead through the wire. She has some awesome fine motor skills. I tried to get my 4-5 year olds in my primary class to bead bracelets once and some of them couldn't even do it. She loves to do little detailed things like that though.

Fall Photos

New family pictures with the baby! It was crazy to try and get Sheridyn and Jaylee to look at the camera at the same time. We tried to get one with Ty in it but that was a lost cause! I love this time of year it is so beautiful!
