THIS is what happens when the dad is in charge of the hair cut!

Notice anything different? Like, maybe the blonde boy has turned brunette (well, except his eyebrows . . . .). I too was quite surprised at the dramatic change in Conner's hair color. I was forewarned however, it still took me by surprise. If Conner had asked ME if he could color his hair my response would have been: "Ummm, no, ten year olds don't get their hair colored!" Does that make me a bad mom?


By the way, he loves it.

Happy Heart Day and a Survey . . . .

Happy Valentine's Day! This is one of my favorite holidays. Although some (including Ryan) think it's a stupid made up holiday, I like having a designated day to let my loved ones know how much I love them - - -even though I already tell them often. I love hearts and pink and flowers and chocolate and love songs and chick flicks and all that other gooey Valentine stuff. SO, here is the survey part: I want to know, what's your favorite Valentine candy? Leave me a comment. Personally, I love the cinnamon lips - -especially if they are covered in chocolate. I also LOVE the chocolate marshmallow hearts but they are sometimes hard to find. How about you?

Another month has escaped me!!

It looks like this once a month blogging has become a habit for me. December was pretty busy, of course. Then, we went to Disney Land right after Christmas and two days after we got back I went to Florida for work.

I am working on posting some Disney Land pics (in my spare time). In the mean time, here are some others:

We got tons of snow a few weeks ago so we decided to go sledding. It was cold and windy so we were the only ones on the hill.

The Polar Express

Well, it looks like another entire month has gone by since I have blogged! I can't believe how busy things have become and how time has flown by. Sine I started my new job, it is hard to fit everything in (yes, in case you haven't heard, I am working at Stamin' Up now).

My ONE goal for this weekend was to post on my blog, so YAY I did it!

We took the kids up to Heber a few weeks ago to ride the Polar Express. They had such a good time. On the way to the "North Pole", we had cookies and cocoa and read the story of the Polar Express. There was even a cute little conductor who punched our tickets after we got on the train. When we arrived at the North Pole we picked up Santa and headed back to Heber. On the way back he visited with all of the children and gave them a special gift - -a silver bell, just like in the book! This was our second time on the Polar Express (Cambria's first) and it was tons of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone who has young children.

Fall

It's been a while since I've posted, but here are a few pages I made from a few weeks ago when the kids and I stopped to play in the leaves on the way home from a fun afternoon outing.

Glamorous

I love watching all the neighbor girls play together. Cambria just sits and lets them paint her nails and put make up on her.

Ready for Halloween??

I LOVE these pics. They were from 2 years ago but I'm just now getting around to scrapping them. **For those of you who think I am so efficient with scrap booking, this proves I am SO NOT! If you ask Cambria what a witch says she'll tell you: "You ha ha"
Everything on the LO is from Heidi Larsen's new kit, Hootfest October - -available at Little Dreamer Designs.

Fall Fun

I absolutely love Fall - -I think it might even be my favorite season. The weather is just right, not too hot and not too cold (usually). I love the changing leaves, caramel apples, pumpkins and of course Halloween!

We had a busy day on Saturday. First we went to Conner's football game where my brother Robert got some fabulous pictures. I especially love the bottom right picture. They didn't win the game, it was 7-0 but at least they didn't get creamed!


After the game we went to lunch with Grandma and Papa and Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Adam and Gavin. Then we headed to the pumpkin patch. There were a lot of fun things to do. We went down the "hay bale" slides, went through the corn mazes and then on a tractor ride out to the field to pick our own pumpkins. Other than the mosquitoes eating us alive, it was so much fun!

Football season is officially here!!

After weeks of practice and the stress of having to loose weight (I KNOW!), Conner finally had his very first ever tackle football game. It was so much fun to watch. They even won, 21-0! Conner got the first touch down of the game. He was so excited.

As if THAT weren't enough fun for one day, he and Ryan went to the BYU football game later that afternoon and then came home to play football on the PlayStation!!

Visit with Grandma and Poppy Cox

Ryan's parents cam for a short visit last weekend and stayed with us. It was fun having them here. I wish they lived closer so that the kid could get to know them better. Cambria cried when they left. It was very sad. Thanks for coming guys, we had a great time!

Golfing at Boondocks with G&G Cox, Chalyce and Coaltin. It was SO HOT!!
