Happy Birthday!

My Grandma Bonnie LOVES Ellen Degeneres more than can be described she is always telling someone about the amazing things she does for others, the funny games on her show, the dancing, and basically anything else that happens on the ellen show. This year for my Grandma's birthday we all went in on a little trip to Burbank CA and Long Beach CA we will be attending the Ellen show and Time out for Women conference. This picture is of us telling my Grandma she is crying her eyes out. I am very excited to spend a weekend with the best aunts, grandma, mom and little sister in the world :))))

Bridal Veil falls

We packed a picnic and head to Bridal Veil falls with Janine, Jenny, and Julie last week, the weather was great and the falls were beautiful. Ava enjoyed being near the water but after touching it she realized how cold it was and wanted nothing to do with it. Libby loved being outdoors anywhere other than any bug that came near her she freaked out. We had a relaxing little lunch and had fun being outdoors the weather has been amazing.

Toy Story 3 on ice

We took our girls to Disney on Ice last week, we all had such a good time. Ava did good for the first hour, after that she wanted to run and play. Libby loved everything about it, she was saying the cutesy things the whole time. I am so glad we are able to do these fun things with our kids.

Creativity art studio

We took the girls to a little art studio in Orem to paint ceramics, Libby loved it and Ava was a disaster story of our lives these days. Libby choose to paint a elephant bank it's super cute and she was so precise and careful to paint it perfect. Ava made a little tile with her hand print, it was a very smeared handprint but still cute. I wasn't able to get a picture of Ava since she was a wild girl, we got a couple cute ones of Libby Lou though.

San Francisco & the NINERS!!

We had such a good time on our weekend getaway to San Francisco to see the 49ers playoff game. We have some of the best friends out there Dani and I have been friends for our whole lives and are so lucky our husbands have such a good time together while entertaining us the whole time. Scott and Steve had the time of their lives what an amazing game to be at and see the 49ers win in the last seconds of the game. We spent a little time wandering around San Francisco, eating good food, laughing, shopping and of course the game we had such a great time and are grateful that we have such fun good friends to spend it with. (florida keys 2013 (;)

New year

2011 brought lots of good and some bad.
I am excited for a new year and a new start it's so refreshing!

To start my new year off right I have a few resolutions
-GRATITUDE- I am going to start being more grateful for everything around me
- EXERCISE- I started a little before the new year and was doing great but fell off track with the crazy busy schedule.
- TIME- need to better manage my time and what I am doing with it
- HEALTH- I need to work on the health of my little family
These are a few that I think are very simple that I know I can make happen.
I am also working on a bucket list for 2012 things that I want to learn, experience, visit, read or see.

*for 2012 I started a Facebook album called 2012 I am going to post a picture each day, I think it will be fun to look back and see what I was doing that day Saturday nights I am going to post all seven pictures in one post on my blog.

Christmas Morning

We had such a good Christmas spoiled as always! My girls had so much fun Ava loved tearing through all the wrapping paper. Libberty was so grateful and excited for everything she got and that makes it all worth it. I wish so badly I would have got a picture of my cutie pies and all their loot man were they ever spoiled.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we did our normal Grandma Bonnie's house with all of our fun traditions and a yummy dinner. Some of our traditions are the fish pond. Nativity, singing silent night and of course opening fun Christmas eve jammers. I got a few pictures of my girls but Ava is a disaster with pictures these days so I posted the best I could get :(

Little Elf

We have had all kinds of elf fun around our house since the beginning of December. Our elf fun started when Jingle a special elf came to live with our family and watch over Libby and Ava very carefully. Jingle did all kinds of crazy things he made snow angels in flour, brought homemade orange/raspberry rolls right from Mrs clause's kitchen, cut snowflakes out, and hide in all kinds of places. we can't wait for him to come again next year, Libby especially she was so sad and cried because she missed him and he hadn't even left yet. Our next Elf fun was when Libby's class had a little elf party and sang rudolph to the WHOLE school in an assembly. She makes a pretty cute elf don't you think?

Crystal : My sweet girls, My amazing husband, My home, Scott's good job, the gospel, and GOOD friends.

Scott: My family, Gold (if there wasn't gold in the ground I wouldn't have a job), Our home, Friends and the 49ers

Libby: My family, Lucy, and Clothes

Ava: anything she can make a mess with, her blankies, food and bottles

Happy Halloween

How in the world did I manage to forget to blog our Halloween???? For Halloween Ava bug was a lady bug how fitting and Miss Libby was Dorothy she loves puppies and the sparkly shoes made the costume perfect. For years I have wanted to be Jack and Sally from nightmare before Christmas and finally did it this year.

Carving Pumpkins

We waited till sunday night before Halloween to carve pumpkins it was the only night we were able to make work to be able to have Scott be with us. Libby had so much fun choosing which each of our pumpkins would have carved on them. Ava sat in her high chair and pretty much laughed and yelled at us the whole time.

Pumpkinland

Every year during October we visit Pumpkinland in Orem they have lots to do and see but it's the perfect size for little ones here are a few pictures from our visit this year.
