Polar Express Goes BANG!

My family went on the Polar Express tonight in Heber. It was so fun. Kam thought it was so great!

He LOVED playing in the snow while waiting to get on the train.

Good thing he was wearing his "Chirstmas Story" snow suit.

All aboard! We were told that you really had to bundle up so I obviously wasn't taking any chances with Kam.

(No children suffered from heat stroke during the making of this memory.)

Papa & GG with Kam & Paiz
I'm pretty sure that look on Jon's face was intentional.

We sang Christmas carols and then read The Polar Express.

Kamden loved that part.

The Elves were so fun with all the kids.

Man, I have such good timing with pictures.

Jeff & Kam look so good, huh?!

Santa came and Kam was saying "HO, HO". (only 2 ho's, no more)

Overall, the Polar Express was pretty fun. The kids loved it.

Thanks Mom & Dad for such a fun Christmas!

The BANG part...yep, Rachel cut bangs on me. I feel like I look so different but they're fun.

This Thursday

This Thursday I'm having a little open house for my Hats & Snaps business from 5:00-8:00. My friends that make family Christmas cards will also be there.

There is going to be lots of cute stuff that will be perfect for Christmas gifts.

Great stocking stuffers too!

I've started something...

hatsandsnaps.blogspot.com

Yep, that's right, I've started something. A little business endeavour one might say.

I love crocheting and bringing things together.

Jeff seems to think I'm pretty good at it, so I thought I'd give it a shot.For the last few months I've been working on starting my own little home business.

I've made:

Hats, bows, bow boards, and bow ties(boys need love too)!

Here's a sneak peak as to what I've been doing.
I've been working really hard and loving making myself become more creative.
I love finding things that are unique, custom made, and no one else has.

Happy Halloween!!!

We were M&M's (obviously)

Kamden & his friends Isaac and Lincoln

Trunk or Treat

Kamden & Malea
Our Friends the Gillespie'sWe carved pumpkins the day before Halloween.

Talk about waiting till the last minute, but hey, at least we did it.

Matchy Matchy

Kamden and Paisley have matching Halloween pj's. They looked so cute in them, we wanted to get a picture.

Here are a few of our attempts.

Now, I don't want to say that Paisley was all over the place... but just look at Kam in the last few pics. Did he move?
He had his "B", life was good.

I call this one "Success!"

Family Pictures

I've been taking a photography class the last little while and so last weekend we went up to Vivian Park and took some fun pics. By the end, Kam was so done. His hands were so black and dirty from the train and train tracks but I got some good pics so it was all worth it.

I'll see if I can get a slide show up of some of the pics.

Reunited and it feels so good...

Well, we never did find the original "B". I think I drove away with it on top of the trunk! (That's a whole other blog entry.) A few weeks ago my mom found more of the same material and bought it. What luck?! So, she was in the process of making a mini "B" square for Kam to take with him outside and for play. We got the mini one just a few days after the tragedy of losing the original.

I didn't check the mail on Saturday and Jeff brought in the package Sunday morning before church. I pulled out the corner of the "B" and Kamden started saying, "B,B,B!" He was so happy, he was beside himself. It was like he was being reunited with a long lost friend. It had only been 2 DEVISTATINGLY LONG days. He just kept smothering it against his face.

Being the good G.G. that she is, my mom immediately began work on a big replacement. (So lucky that she had found the same material just a few weeks before.)

Now, Kamden has 2 "B"s. One for bed and one for everything else. However, now he thinks he needs 2, one for each shoulder.

I don't think any long term effects will be suffered by him but I have for sure learned my lesson.

ALWAYS HAVE A BACK-UP!
