Utah vs. Utah St

So I have taken Melia to a football game about a year ago when she was 2. She did ok but was a bit restless. I decided the other night to take her to a Utah basketball game. She was a hoot she was cheering the whole game s loud as she could. As you can tell in this video how serious she was. She was asking a lot of questions about what was going on.

Princesses on ice

On Friday we took Melia to see Princesses on Ice! It was so fun to have the night all about her. Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Mark watched Cooper so we could all go enjoy the night! I loved being able to do that it really gave me chance to just enjoy her. She is so fun! She loved the show! I think she was a perfect age for it, who knows soon it may night be so real. She kept asking me "Is her face the same as in the movie" My answer was always "Of course!" I just never want her to lose the magic! Here she is waiting for the show so excited.
During the show she would stop to show us her own moves. She also asked Daddy if he would teach her how to spin fast on ice skates like the princesses did.
A fun night with just her Mom and Dad!
The princesses all together.

Embracing the cold...

So last time it snowed we hid in our house watching movies...yesterday we decided to go out and embrace the snow. It really took some effort to get out of the house with all the gear on but it felt good. Cooper was pretty happy about going "ousi" but he did have a hard time walking in his new boots so he kept falling over. Plus he didn't want to put on his gloves so his hands were freezing. But he sure is cute all bundled up!Melia's first snow angel of the year!

We had to end the day with some hot chocolate and oreos! Who doesn't end every day like that? I seriously have to confess my love for oreos, I think I could eat a whole pack by myself!
Melia discovered that our tub has jets! The bubbles just kept coming and coming, but I'm sure it felt so good after a cold day in the snow! I guess winter won't be so bad after all!

Little trip

This past weekend we took a little trip to St.George. It's always nice to not have to go very far but still have some warm weather, we love it there! We went with Kemery, McCall and their kids Bowen, Avery and Bennett. The kids had a blast! They were up at the crack of dawn and didn't go to sleep till almost midnight every day. We visited an old "Ghost town" it was used for mining silver. It was neat to see and a little spooky because the graves all said "Unknown". Some even had flowers on them so we wondered who came to visit these unknown graves. We also went to the splash park and the kids loved the fountains. They were soaked! After we went to the eat at Bear Paw Cafe. And let me just tell you it is the BEST breakfast ever!!! Michelle had told me it was good but I didn't realize just how good it would be. I got the french toast stuffed with vanilla creme bu le( not sure how to spell that), eggs, sausage and the home fries. If you are going to St.George you have to eat there. The weekends always go quick but it was a nice little get away!

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! Melia was a witch... a scary witch she would say and Cooper was a lion. We went to Breakfast with the witches at Gardner Village. It was early but yummy and fun to see all those witches, they were great! After we went home and carved some oranges, and Pumpkins with Grandma Sheila. When Dad got home it was time for some yummy mummy's and Trick-or-treating of course. This was the first year that Melia was really into it. She would run to each house and wanted lots of candy. She told me a couple days ago that she would need 2 buckets to fill up. haha Cooper also really enjoyed people giving him candy, he didn't quite learn how to say"trick-or-treat" but he did say lots of "tank to's". (thank you) We got home and enjoyed the candy and Melia even let me have a big one someone gave her, she was so nice to share. After her tub that turned black from her hair it was off to bed! Happy Halloween hope you all had fun.
