happy birthday mom

Happy birthday Mom!!! You are a superb. Thanks for the wonderful meals every night, the festive birthday parties and holidays and special love and attention. I have extremely fond memories of my childhood. I love you and I hope your birthday was good. It will be better next year though when we are all there to celebrate with you!

cute monet pose

Just look at that face. She looks like a teenager. Hair parted down the middle and everything.

Yesterday morning after her bath we were in her room staring at her clothes. I asked, "Monet, what do you want to wear today?"

She says, "Ummmmmm......... well........ I want to wear something magical."

So she picked out her pink church dress. :)

santa

Monet and Katie had so much fun seeing Santa. Despite their uneasy smiles, they eagerly told him what they wanted and waved to him forever after. He was slightly creepy, but very nice.

funny monet

Monet has been too funny lately. I always think how I need to write down the funny things she does and says.

Just today she was putting on her 'dancing dress' (pink church dress) and having me button up the back and tie the bow. After I tied the bow, she felt it with her hands and said with a 'what do you think you are doing' look on her face, "Mom, that's not the right bow for a masquerade ball."

My mistake. :) I fixed it.

Every night before she goes to bed she asks Clayton or I if we are going to put a snack under her pillow. Clayton and Clayton's mom do this for Monet sometimes and lately she has been thinking it should be an every night event. So the other night she would not go to bed and was having too much fun playing. Finally she says to me, "Will you put a snack under my pillow mom?" So I'm like, "Ya Monet, I will. Be a good girl and go to bed and I'll put a snack under your pillow." She hops right in ben and goes right to sleep.

I just figured she would forget about it so I don't even think twice about it and I did not put a snack under her pillow.

So at 6:30 AM we are all still asleep and I hear a very angry Monet grunting in her bedroom. She comes stomping into our bedroom saying, "Mom!!!! You didn't put a snack under my pillow!!!!!!!" I actually felt bad because I did promise I would so we went downstairs, got a darn snack, she got back in bed, and I put the snack under her pillow. She then stayed in her room for a little while eating her snack.

Side note: snack to Monet means treat. She always calls treats snacks because I think she thinks it sounds less bad. Like I will giver her a snack more than a treat. Very clever.

good kind of bad joke

What is the difference between Tiger Woods and Santa Clause?

Santa stops after three Ho's.

glamour shot

I had to get ready the other night and the only thing to keep Monet occupied while I did that was to let her get ready too. She did such a good job with her makeup :). She was so proud of herself.

tiger

He makes me want to vomit. What is seriously wrong with people? Obviously I don't know all the details of his life or anything for that matter... but what the crap. Just don't get married. This kind of thing makes me like people like George Clooney more. I always wonder why George doesn't get married.... well maybe because he wants to hook it up with who ever he wants when ever he wants and therefore marriage is not the thing for him. I always knew Tiger was a tool.

halloween in utah

These are a little late. We celebrated Halloween in Utah with my family this year as we drove through to Canada. It was fun to see all my fam!

Here is a picture of Mallory's bomb cake. She took a cake decorating class and was showing off her skills for us.
Here is my little Foofa! She had her heart set on this costume for a long time. So darling. Foofa is a character on the kids show Yo Gabba Gabba.
Love this picture. Scarlett was already asleep. She can enjoy Halloween next year.
This house did not mess around. They had an entire table of candy choices. Monet was very cautious and only took two little things. It was pretty cute.

christmas wreath

I rescued my poor wreath a few hours after the snow storm started. My bad. I opened the front door and was like, crap. I whacked the snow out of the wreath and it recovered nicely. Thank goodness. That would have been sad.

teeth

So darling!!! Little Scarlett just got her first two teeth right at the same time. She was a little sad about it and woke up at night for a few days but other then that it was easy! She is such a happy baby. Always so pleasant to be around. As you can see in these pictures she was desperately trying to get the camera...
