Snow Day

Today is the first day it snowed for this year. The last time that Jaylee saw snow was when she was about 6 months old. So this is kind of like her first time seeing snow. I got her all bundled up and took her out side. When I first opened the door she just stood there staring outside. Normally she is booking it to get out. So I carried her down the stairs and put her on the side walk. She stood there for a minute and then started trying to grab it off the ground. The snow didn't last very long because it didn't stick, plus it melted away by the next day. It was fun awhile it lasted.

Penguins Of Madagascar

There is a new movie in theaters for the Penguins of Madagascar. We wanted to go see a movie with my family so we picked that one so that Jaylee could come. It will be her first movie in the theaters. I was nervous that she was going to be to wiggly but as long as we gave her snacks through out the movie she did really well. A little more than half way my mom stood with her by the doors because she didn't want to sit anymore. Over all though I think she did a great job for her first time. We saw a commercial for the new Minion movie. Jaylee laughed pretty hard at it so we really want to take her to see that one. She sits and watches the Despicable Me movies so I think she will do a good job at that one as well.

Kangaroo Zoo

Our friends Josh and Kassi Nelson invited us to go to the kangaroo zoo with them. They have a daughter that is a month younger than Jaylee. We were so excited to have a play date and do something fun! The kangaroo zoo is a play place were they have a ton of bouncy houses and bouncy slides. Jaylee had so much fun and she had absolutly no fear. She loved the slides. We were there for about an hour and a half. Then we went to the Pizza Factory for diner! So nice to see our friends!

Aubri's Day

We went down to Highland to watch Aubri's dance recital. It was cute to see all of the little girls dance. Aubri's song was the second one but when all the girls walked on stage Aubri ran off crying. Tara was on the side trying to get her to stay but she really didn't want to. Poor girl, is so shy. After the performances was over we went to Tara and Austins house to celebrate Aubri's 3rd birthday. The theme was Tangled. Tara and Dave made waffles. They were so good. Tara made Aubri and Tangled cake, it turned out so cute! After we ate and sang happy birthday we watched Aubri open her presents.  Her cute face was in ahhh at ever gift that she opened. Chris and I got her a princess cup filled with starburst, Frozen jellybeans, pencils, and a princess notebook with stickers. However we left it at our house so Chris is going to give it to them when he sees Austin at work. Jaylee wanted to get into all the gifts too. It was hard to contain those two girls. Aubri seemed to have a good birthday party and it was fun to see everyone!

Ward Christmas Party

Our ward did soups for diner, had the primary kids sing christmas songs, had deserts, and then Santa came. The line was really long so we helped clean up awhile we waited. Jaylee was one of the last kids to sit on Santa's lap. She stared at him for awhile and then he gave her a candy cane and she just stared at it. She was so cute, didn't cry or anything. Loved talking with some of our neighbors. We need to spend more time with them.

Work Christmas Party

My mom and dad came out to our place to watch Jaylee awhile we went to the work party. It was nice to get a little dressed up and go have a nice diner. The food was great, we had ham, and turkey with lots of sides. They had foamy drinks too which I loved. We sat at the same table as Tara and Austin plus the Tookes. His work gave out awards and had a raffle. We didn't get anything which was a bummer but it was still fun to go out. His work also gave us a blanket with the Fishbowl logo on the corner. When we got home Jaylee was still up being spoiled by grandma and grandpa. She was running around in her jammies just playing. My dad had taught her the word scary because the book they were reading had a big bad wolf in it. Sounds like everyone had to much fun without us.

Thanksgiving Day

Today is thanksgiving, it is always a busy day. We headed to my parents so that Chris could play football with Stockton. First they played with the guys from the ward, then they played with a group of Stocktons friends. Another year and Chris came home safe. Then we went out to Bobby and Stephanies house at one so that we could have thanksgiving with the extended family, The food was great like it always is Chris's family is full of great cooks. After we ate they put markers and paper on the table so that everyone could write a letter to the two missionaries we have out, Sam, and Taylor. I love Chris's whole family and Jaylee enjoyed playing with Elisa. After we left we went back to my parents. They weren't doing anything special but it is probably Stocktons last thanksgiving with us. We went over to my grandparent Rentfro's house too awhile Jaylee and Chris took a nap. :) My dad said he feels like this might be his dads last thanksgiving. My grandpa seems to be losing it a little, he said some pretty funny things. When we went back home we watched the new Transformers and then headed home. I love being with family.

5 Year Anniversary

Today is our five year anniversary! I can't believe it, it has gone by so fast yet at the same time I feel like I have known him forever! We wanted to get away for the night so we had Jaylee sleep over at my parents house. We dropped her off at about 4 and like always she couldn't care less when we walked out the door. First we went out to eat, Chris had a great idea and we went to the Cheesecake Factory. It was so good, we think we will come her for tradition on our anniversary. They had every kind of food. We even finished it off sharing an oreo cheesecake. Yummy!!! As soon as we were done eating we checked into the hotel and then headed to Deseret Star. We got tickets to see "How the Grouch Stole Christmas". It was pretty funny, even Chris liked it, well until we got half way through it then he started falling asleep. At the end of the show they talked about birthdays and anniversaries. When they asked about anniversaries I cheered. Our anniversary was the exact same day and year as another couple there. That was pretty funny! We got back to the hotel and I gave Chris a gift. It was a board that said "Chris & Sam" on the back and across the front it said "God Gave Me You" Then we had glasses with the yummy bubbly drink. It was so nice get away together. The next day we went down and got breakfast. Then headed to the movies, we went to see "the Hunger Games Catching Fire Part 1" It has been a long time since we saw a movie in theatres. I'm glad that we picked to go see that one. That was the end of our get away, Happy 5 Year anniversary!
