The Polar Express

On Dec. 16, we went on the Polar Express. It was so much fun. This is the third year that we have gone. The kids love it. We drive up to Heber, and ride the train for about an hour and a half. While your on the train, they give you hot chocolate, and chocolate chip cookies. And then they read the Polar Express book. Then you get to the North pole, and see santa. Then the train heads back, and Santa comes around and talks to all the kids. It's fun. I hope that next year Camden will be able to come, cause I think he'll love it. There was a little boy on there that was probably around Camden's age, and towards the end he started having a meltdown. That's when we remembered why we didn't bring him. Anyway, here are a few pix of the kids with Ryan, and then with Santa.

Christmas!

So our Christmas this year was a good one. Santa brought all the kids what they wanted. Even if some of the stuff didn't work;(. Conner got Rock band, which is totally awesome! I love it. He also got a Nintendo DS, and some games to go with it. Chelsea got a Nintendo DS, as well. So there wouldn't be fights over it. And then she got Biscuit, the dog thats suppose to be like a real dog. Which would have been good, if, it had worked. Ryan woke me up at 1:30 am, to get me to help him get it to work. So on Christmas morning, it wouldn't work. We were really upset. We even exchanged it for a different one, and still, nothing. Now she has a littler dog, that works. She loves it more anyway, cause it's more her size. Camden got musical toys. He is a singer, and a dancer, so he was pretty excited. He got Backyardigans DVD's, cause he sings and dances with the songs they sing. Totally cute! And Cambree got a bunch of noisy chewy toys, and a big plaything that she lays on, and plays with. She seems happy with it. I got a few new things, too. Ryan got me an Ipod touch, which Rocks! And a cute new red purse, cause everyone knows how much I love purses. And some perfume. I got him some running shoes, and a coat, and a few movies. All in all it was a pretty good day. We got snowed in, so we didn't go anywhere, and we got to stay home and play rockband. I only wish I had someone older to play rock band with. My kids are cute and all, but I want to win:) Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody. Enjoy the few pictures I have.

Camden Playing the Piano

I figured out how to post video on here. And I was looking through the videos I have, to find cute ones. I came across a really cute one where camden plays the piano. I have to say, he is very musical. He is always singing, and dancing. In nursery on sunday, he even layed his head on my lap, and sang along with the childrens songs they were playing. And in the car, we were listening to Christmas music, and if there was a song he liked, he'd sing it really loud. Which is cute, cause he doesnt' actually talk, he just kind of sings. It's hard to describe, but very cute to listen to. We were listening to a song called "There's something in the Chimney". If only I knew how to post songs. Then you could hear it. Anyway, after the song was over, you knew he liked it, cause he did his little "uhuhuh" thing he does when he wants something. So I turned the song back on, and he started laughing. It's pretty darn cute. But, once again, I am biased, cause i'm his mom. So, here's the video, hope you like it:)

Isn't he just so good? For Christmas, he's getting alot of musical toys. He's gonna have a blast. I can hardly wait.

Chelsea Learns to Ride Her Bike

So, when Conner learned to ride his bike, he was 6 years old, and he taught himself. He didn't want help, cause he was scared he'd fall off, even though Ryan was there right behind him all the way. He was pretty good, too. He'd ride in the backyard down the hill we had back there. So, this summer when Chelsea was learning to ride her bike, he was there to help her. I, of course, didn't get to see it, cause I was working. But, the next day when I didn't have to work, I recorded it. So, I'm gonna try to put the video on here. It's not very clear. I'm not sure why, but you can get the idea. Try to ignore the narrator.:) She sounds funny on the video. Hope you enjoy.

Isn't she good? Okay, so I'm her mom, I'm biased. Oh well. She does ride her bike pretty good.
