My Little Singer

McKenna sang at our Ward Christmas party a couple of weeks ago and did soooo good. I love when she sings. The video isn't the best quality but hey you get the idea. Oh and please ignore the GIANT pregnant lady in it. She wasn't supposed to be captured in the video. Oh well I guess, I really wanted you to see McKenna sing though. You might have to turn your computer up to hear it very good. Anywho, I was so proud of her, she has no fear at all! You will want to go to the bottom of the page and turn off the music player first before you try to listen. Enjoy!

Fun FHE!

Last night for FHE we had a really fun treat! A friend of our invited us out to his house to ride a train that he has spent the last 4 years building! It was great. He has this super cute little depot you go through to get on the train. It's kind of dark but you get the idea. It was adorable!


Then once we were all on the train, he was playing the Polar Express while we were riding in a toasty warm train car. You can see the little fireplace in the corner that keeps it warm.
And of course McKenna found a little friend right off the bat. This little boy was a son of our friend who owns it.

Here is the girls with our conductor Shane! Thanks again soooo much for the fun night!

I'm the worst blogger ever!!!

So I have been the absolute worst blogger as of late so here is a post of our Thanksgiving weekend. Travis brother Shane came up from Utah and he and McKenna were fast friends.


We had tons of yummy food over at Travis' parents house. We ate a ton and just hang out. It was great.

And of course we had to do a little clay pigeon shooting. It's not Thanksgiving without it!
Then on Saturday we went up to the hills to get our tree! We found the perfect one and had fun doing a little snowmobiling at the same time.

4th of July

So on the 4th we just had a fun just the four of us day. We took the girls to the zoo in the morning and then went to lunch and went and bought some fireworks. We just got on the ground ones and sparklers so that we didn't start a field on fire or something. It was a fun day.

Then we just sat on our front yard and watched the fireworls that were all over. It was perfect up on our hill because you could see everywhere.

Then these are the girls on Easter Sunday. I couldn't pay them to look at me. I wanted to a picture but we had to hurry so we weren't late for church. Maddie especially wouldn't look at me. So in the two minutes I had this is what I got.
