Misc Pics

Here are a bunch of miscellaneous pictures from the last couple months. Enjoy!

Merry Christas 2011

This year, we spent Christmas in Logan. That means that we got to see a WHOLE lot of family. We spent Christmas with my mom then cruised on over to visit my dad. I even got to spend my birthday with my family this year!

This is a Christmas tree the girls made all on their own. They found this tall weed outside and thought it would make a beautiful Christmas tree. The sat down and made all of their own decorations.

The girls got pretty competitive playing air hockey.

For my birthday we went ice skating. I haven't been ice skating since I was a kid. It was fun and the girls had a great time! In this picture is Lance (Nikki's hubby), Nikki, Kylee, Bruce (Lances brother), Maddie, Jake, Sierra and Me all holding hands! Good times!

My mom made me a snowflake cake!

A few days later, we got to spend a day with Jake's family. We went to the Natural History Museum in SLC. Here are all the Schall cousins.



Then we went to see the Zoolights at Hogle zoo. If you live in the SLC area and haven't seen the Zoolights, I suggest checking it out! I thought it was fun, but I am a sucker for Christmas lights!

broken

fyi

sorry its been a while since i have posted. our computer broke and has been in the shop since before christmas. well, the conclusion they came to is that our computer is broken for good. so i probably wont post until we get ourselves a new computer... who knows when that will be. i guess check back from time to time to see if we are back up and running. i have lots of pics i want to share..hopefully, eventually, i will get them loaded up.

Same Outfit, Different Girl!

Autumn

4 Months and Halloween!

Autumn has been sqwaking and talking a ton lately. Here is a video that pretty much shows a day in the life of Autumn.... minus the hungry and sleepy cries.

This year for Halloween Sierra was a Monster High Girl (aka scary teenager). Maddie was Rapunzel. Autumn was a spider and I was a spider web, and Jake was a lumber jack. Fun Times!

Lunch At The Park

This years school schedule is a little bit hectic. Sierra has been going to kindergarten half day, afternoon, 5 days a week. Maddie goes to pre-school, half day, mornings, Mondays and Wednesdays. On the two days that Maddie has school, we need to squeeze in some lunch inbetween the time that Maddie gets out from school and when Sierras school begins. This time is about 45 minutes.

Well, considering it takes about 20-25 minutes one way to/from the schools, there is not enough time to pick up Maddie, go home, eat lunch, then take Sierra to school. So the girls and I have been picnic-ing twice a week. :) This has actually been fun! We eat lunch real quick, then play until it is time to take Sierra to school. The time frame that we have is actually the perfect amount of time to get in a little play time (not too much

where I am bored to death), and I have a good reason to get them to leave right when I tell them (no lolly gagging :)). Well, as luck would have it, Sierra is starting full day kindergarten on Monday.. right when the weather has been too cold to picnic (we ate lunch in the car this week, then the girls still went out and played). Today was our last picnic at the park. It has been fun and not something I tend to do a lot in the summer, so I was really glad that the last two months provided me lots of picnic time with my girls.

I am very grateful for the bus as well! It comes right to our house and Sierra LOVES riding the bus. She waves good-bye to all of her bus friends every day. She comes home everyday with some gum that the girls give her on the bus. I'm looking forward to next year when Sierra will get to show Maddie how fun it is to ride the bus!

Happy Birthday Sierra!

Sierra turned 6! I think she felt pretty special on her special day! Here are some pics from her day!

Maddie anxiously waiting to help decorate the cake!

The cake! She wanted a scary cake, so we decided on a girly scary cake!

She really wanted to grill for her Birthday! Gotta love that girl!

3 Months

Autumn is now three months old! I can't believe it! Where has the time gone? I feel like she has grown so much! She loves to be where all of the action is and does not like to be left alone. She is a little smiley girl and starting to laugh! We just can't imagine our family without her!
