What's wrong with this picture?

This is my mother in law's Christmas card. She printed it then realized there was something in the wrong place. Can you find it? Luckily she got another card printed with a different picture.

I need your help with Boy and Girl names!

Yes, I did this to myself not knowing the sex. I am getting a little panicked. So I want to know your best boy and girl names.

Polar Express

Every year Matt and my dad have inventory (they work together). As a wife you start to understand when to leave your husband alone because you know he will be grumpy until INVENTORY is over. So this year I told my mom we should leave town and go to the polar express and leave the grumps behind. She agreed in a second. We this year of all years Matt was done by 2:00 on Friday (usually he is there all night). On Saturday they were done by 10:00 am and are usually there all day. Oh well. Matt got some time to himself and we got to go to the Polar Express.

My mom, Pamela (sister-in-law), Kim (sil) Madi, Ellie (nieces), Shea and Carson went. We didn't tell the kids where we were going. I pick Shea up early from school and she had no idea what was going on. They kept guessing. We meet at my mom's house and took her new car which can hold eight. BTW the car did not have a DVD player and I was nervous that the kids would go nuts. They did pretty good. On the way up my mom read the Polar Express to them and they guessed where we were going. They were so excited. I told them who ever fell asleep first would get a prize. Mainly because I wanted Shea to sleep. Well the other two girls fell asleep and Shea stayed awake.

We ate at a little country restaurant right by the train station. The food was good. Side note: my mom used her American Express card there and someone stool her card number and has been trying to buy stuff from all over the world. She never uses that card and this is the last place she used it. Jerks!! But AE is investigating and my mom hasn't been charged for anything they bought.

At the train station. Getting ready to get on the train.



On the train. The train rides in one direction for 30 min. They pass out cookies and hot chocolate. They also read the Polar Express book.



Then we get to the north pole. As you can see it is so cheesy but the kids love it.


Santa gets on the train and hands all the kids a bell. On the way back everyone sings Christmas carols.

After the train we drove back to Flagstaff and stayed at Tutu and Papa's house. It is still weird for them not to be around but I can still feel them there. I had bought the kids trains and Carson figured out that his made noise. He wouldn't stop pressing the song. It drove us all nuts and he just kept laughing (I took the batteries out as soon as we got to Flagstaff!) We got up the next morning and went to Bashas for some doughnuts. My great Aunt Jessie is in a rehab hospital up there so my mom wanted to go visit her. On the way home the kids were really good. Except for when Carson got a little bored and started throwing his toys and calling everyone STUPID and spitting. We are working on that!

November Pictures (I am getting caught up!)

Random events from November.
We told our dog a couple months back that he better settle down or we would have to get rid of him. I told Matt that we would give him till the baby comes. Well he has been really good lately so I think he got the message. I captured a rare moment between Shea and the dog playing together without her getting mad at him.




Shea had a head ache after school and refused to eat unless the lights were turned off or she had sunglasses on.

Shea had a turkey trot at her school. She did so good. She would run for a while and then walk. She never gave up. We were able to eat lunch with her after that. I am glad I brought our lunch because the line for the "turkey dinner" was huge and I heard it was not that good. Carson loved being there with her.

It is December 10th do you know where your Halloween pictures are?

These are pictures from our ward trunk or treat. Shea was Alice in Wonderland this year and Carson finally decided to be Hanny Manny. Every time we asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween he said "NOTHING!" So when we saw this costume at Target he was all over it. They enjoyed the cupcake walk and Carson later threw up all over his costume and our blanket. I think he ate a carmel candy bar and he chocked on it. oops!






Matt and Shea carved the pumpkins this year. Carson wanted nothing to do with it. Matt loves doing this so I just step back and let him go with it. He gets really into it!





Halloween night I had to work so we took the kids around the neighborhood fast. I ran back to the house and left for work while Matt finished up. He said the kids had fun getting candy and passing it out at home.



I found this picture when I got home. My brothers and sisters and I used to do this and trade candy or steal each others candy!
