Fits

 A few months ago, Brooklyn went through a faze where she threw major fits! They always involved her throwing herself on the ground. We would just laugh, because she was too cute to take seriously!

Christmas Eve at the Zoo

 My posts are a little out of order but, here you go...

Ryan's family has a tradition every Christmas Eve of going to the zoo. It wasn't too cold this year so that made it even more fun. The kids of course, loved seeing all of the animals, and I loved that it wasn't very crowded.

They had a bunch of games and projects going on, and The Grinch was even there. Hayden gets nervous about things and I like to get her out of her comfort zone a little bit. She did not want anything to do with the Grinch, even though I explained to her that it was just a guy in a costume. So, I bribed her with $5 to get her picture taken with him. She agreed, but made me stand next to him :)

The "Y"

Once it warmed up and the snow all melted, we were ready to head outside and enjoy some fresh air. So, we decided to hike the "Y". Ryan took me once when I was 8 months pregnant with Hayden. I made it about 5 minutes and then called it quits. this time we took all 3 kids and made it to the top! It is crazy steep, and there was whining from the kids and me, but we made it and enjoyed the beautiful view from the top!

For Christmas Natalie's family gave us passes to go tubing at Soldier Hollow. We headed up in February and had a BLAST! It was so fun. We can't wait to go again next year.

Ryan loves skiing and wants the kids to love it, too. He took them a couple of times in 2012, and then we decided to put them in ski school this year. They loved it and did a great job! Brooklyn was too little, but she loved playing in the snow while we waited. There will definitely be more skiing in their future!

Say Cheese!

My sweet baby girls first grade pictures!

Isn't she the cutest? 

Her best friends in first grade were Eden and Haylie.

She had two teachers this year, too. 

Her Chinese teacher- Mrs. Acherson and her English teacher- Mrs. Helm
