Fun Times in December

Here are just a few random photos of fun things we've done this month. It's been a busy, but great, month!

Bryan took Tess & Miles to a U of U basketball game (and they won!!)

Tess had her school Christmas Concert. Here she is waving to us...

...and singing her heart out. She did a great job!

After Christmas we went to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square and the candy-windows at Macy's. (I highly recommend going after Christmas--the crowds are so tiny compared to before Christmas!) I loved seeing the candy-windows at ZCMI when I was young and I was sad when they stopped doing it. I was so happy when I heard that Macy's was bringing it back this year. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, they have holiday-themed window displays made entirely of candy pieces.) The theme was Christmas ornaments and they were very cool.

This Santa Claus was my favorite.

And, on New Year's Eve, we went to a Grizzlies Hockey game. (They won!) Here is a picture of the family: Miles was plugging his ears because it was so loud (which is unusual because he can be a super-duper loud kid when he wants to) and Bree is doing her typical cheesy grin when she realizes that a camera is on her. :)

"Kidisms" (things my kids say that I want to remember)

June 2019

I was chatting with Bryan and Miles, and Bryan happened to do the Dirty Harry line, "Go ahead, make my day." Miles was a little familiar with it, but not quite sure and he asked, "isn't that the cowboy...what's his name, Clive Eastman or something?"

April 2019

We were talking about the stupid name Heinz gave to their new fry sauce ("Mayochup"). I mentioned that I also saw "Mayocue" sauce in the store. Clever Bree said they should sell "Mayoturd." Hahaha!

January 2019

I was helping Bree with her piano song; she is just starting to learn about key signatures, sharps, and flats. She pointed to the sharp sign and wondered about the "hashtag."

Tonight we were chatting and Bryan joked about how he likes "livin' on the edge." Miles said, "Mom likes livin' on the edge too...as long as she has a good book." Haha, that boy knows his mama!

December 2018

We got some Ghirardelli chocolates for a gift and Tess wanted some, but she had a little bout of dyslexia and asked for "ger-da-helli" chocolates. So now when we are bugged with each other, we just say "Ger-da-helli!" to each other.

November 2018

Bryan took the kids to the church to play ball, and Miles was running in the parking lot and tripped right over his feet and biffed it. He stood up, exasperated, and yelled, "I hate these GIGANTIC feet!" Poor guy!

August 2018

Bree was making a "potion" with her friends and proudly came to show me her creation. She said she made "hansitizer" (hand sanitizer) and when I asked the ingredients she said "water, dish soap, poppy seeds, and sriracha!" I'm not so sure that hansitizer would get hands very clean!

July 2018

Bree was packing a bag for a sleepover at G&G T's house and tried to shove a big stuffed animal into her small backpack. It wouldn't fit, and she pulled it out, saying, "Hmmm, she has constipation. She doesn't like being in small, tight spaces." I guess she mixed up claustrophobia with constipation, hahahaha!
