Update...

l Pictures, Images and Photos24 Redemption Pictures, Images and Photos

There hasn't been too many things to write about lately, our lives have been pretty uneventful....the most exciting past times have been the big screen or the tube...
We went and saw Twilight on Saturday, and I loved it. I expected to be disappointed, and in a few minor ways, I was, but overall, I actually really liked it. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, and I will definitely buy it. Last night, we watched the season "peek"/ movie of "24." It has been off for so long with the writers strike, they were smart to suck us all back in...and now we have to wait until January for the actual season to start. Good thing we have PrisonBreak to keep us going for now. (That and The Biggest Loser).

Tomorrow we are heading to Missouri for Turkey Day. We leave for a week to visit Tyler and his family. A bunch of the Cluffs are going, it will so a bunch of fun and chaos.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Christmas at our house!


This year I was so anxious to put up our Christmas tree and decorations, I am not sure why, but nevertheless. Although I still have pumpkins on my porch that need to be hauled away....Christmas is everywhere else. :) In Jayda's Kindergarten class, they have an elephant mascot named "Eddy." The kids get picked to take him home, and Jayda got to bring him home on the day we set up our tree. Lucky for her! Eddy has a journal, so the kids write in it what they did with Eddy and draw pictures. So there you have it. All of us, plus Eddy had a great time putting up our tree! :) Woohoo! Bring on the Holidays!

There's only one!


Maybe next time!!!! :)

Oh Blessed Snow!

I have to say, although it gets tiring by the end of winter, I do love the snow! Today we woke up to white everywhere! It has been snowing all day, so we went out and played and built a snowman. Then we came in, listened to Christmas music and had hot chocolate. It has been a fun day!

Happy Halloween!!!!

What a fun filled day Halloween is! It started with us going to Jayda's school to watch the costume parade. It was fun to see all the kids and their different costumes and how creative they were. Jayda looked cute as a pirate of course! After the parade, I went to her class to help with their Halloween party. I dressed up like a Halloween Fairy....at least that is what I called it. The kids thought I looked like a bat...okay, that works too!
After her party, we all went home and got ready in our costumes for Halloween. Halle dressed up as a BYU Cheerleader, Mia was tinkerbell, and Sienna was a little Indian. Nelson and I decided to dress up as Senator McCain and Sarah Palin. (A suggestion from a friend!) It worked out rather well, except Nelson had a little too much hair on top, and without me next to him, people thought he might be Bill Clinton instead of John McCain. Haha. I guess that made me Monica? Anyhow, we had fun walking around dressed up, and the girls had fun. We went to Nick and Corie's for dinner and trick or treating in their neighborhood. We stopped at a house with a McCain/ Palin sign in their yard and thanked them for their support! :) :)It was fun! There was a house in their neighborhood that had the yummiest doughnuts in their garage, and you had to play musical chairs to get one. :) Everyone had fun. Little Sienna had a blast too. She is the perfect age and she couldn't stop laughing and giggling as she walked up to the door, took her own candy out of the bowl, and waved "bye bye" as her thankyou to the homeowner. She just laughed and smiled and was having so much fun, she couldn't stand it. :) It was so cute. We had a great Halloween. The girls are still hyped up on candy and I suppose they will be for another day or two until it is all gone! Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Don't forget to Vote on Tuesday!!!

Pumpkin Painting

Last year we started this tradition at Maile's house of painting pumpkins, so this year we did it too, but at our house. We had Camille and Griffin come over and we had a good time. The girls enjoyed painting them, and lets face it, it is less messy than carving. :) They had fun.

Pumpkins 'O Plenty!

Today we took pictures on our porch with our home grown pumpkins. :) We had to hurry and get a picture so we can carve them and decorate them! Happy Halloween!
