I just love my little cookie monsters!!!

P.S. Yes, their hair is always this crazy. Not very easy to maintain.

More Videos

Jeff and I love to watch dancing shows and the new one we have been watching is Super Stars of Dance on NBC. I enjoy most of the dancing from each country, but my favorite is the Irish team. When Lord of the Dance first came out, my parents went to see it in SLC. They enjoyed it so much they bought the video. So me and my sisters (yes, I'm dragging you guys into it) would watch it a lot. Well when I saw the Irish team do their dances, it just brought it all back so I bought my own dvd. The very first time we put it on the girls were enthralled. So enjoy them dancing. Madi is the star of this video. Beware it is pretty loud. Remember to pause the music to listen. One note to share: we never really catch the great stuff. As soon as we move to grab the camera they stop. Before this, Madilynn was standing and stomping her feet like the real Irish dance. Oh well, you get what you can. And um, I guess I'm dork for liking this type of dance. Have any of you seen it? Maybe I'm not the only one?

The second video Jeff got while I was gone visiting teaching. They got the car for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Lau. They love it, but sometimes they fight for it. And then they'll give in and both get on. Gracie is on the front.

Over the Holidays

We really had a great time with our families over the holidays. When we planned to come we had 9 days. Well after getting there and having two travel days, we only got 3 1/2 days with both families. It definitely wasn't enough time. We miss everyone. Thanks for all the yummy food, diaper changes, and babysitting. We really loved the break. We played ping pong (a ton at both houses), cards, games, and we even got some people from my high school volleyball team together to play some volleyball. I don't think I went to bed any earlier than 1am every night. It was so fun and exhausting.

We did family pictures with both families. I'll try to get the ones with my family on here next. We took the ones of his family with our camera on a tripod so I had easy access to those. My mom got a photographer for our family and they were emailed to me and I can't get them larger to post. I'll keep working on it. And yes, you will see the same colors with all the family pictures. It was just easier to bring one outfit for each of us for pictures. Oh well!

P.S. Sorry about those who got cut out a bit on the collages. I didn't have time to resize the pictures before putting them in.

Catching Up

Hey everyone! Yes, yes I know. Slacker!! Anyway, I'm still here and doing great. Here is part of what we've been up to. Before we flew home for the holidays we had to go to the light festival at one of the state parks. As you can see it is ocean themed. It was really great. The girls enjoyed themselves even though it was cold. We then got them home to open up their presents from us and Santa. The next day is when we started our travels. Oh boy was it AWFUL! I won't go into detail, but lets just say that we could have driven home and gotten there close to the amount of time it took us to fly. I will get more pictures on here soon. (Oh yeah that is a little Christmas tree, but what do you do when you're not spending Christmas at home? We did our best with the decorations for a couple of days.)
