this week of december
i feel like i sat home in my workout clothes all week, but then i really think about it we have actually been doing a lot...
- we went to the temple lights
- we went and saw santa twice.... when he asks berkeley what she wants she says presents, then he asks what kind, she says toys, then he asks what kind of toys and she says a striped toy.....{no idea}
- we went and saw princess and the frog
- we made a gingerbread house
- we went to our stake christmas concert
- we have watched mickey's twice upon a christmas 18 times
- i managed to lose 5 pounds then quickly gain it back again
- i'm pretty sure i partially tore my acl at my soccer game on monday night. i heard the pop, and i felt the tear and pop. now i have a swollen painful knee that really isn't getting any better considering i have been over dosing on motrin.
- todd finished his semester. he is half way done with law school!!!!!!!
- beckham has managed to cry more now then he did when he was a wee little baby...i really cannot explain why but i have been reminding myself that this is only a phase {i hope}
- i got moved up from nursery to sunbeams. oh how i love my life just a little bit more.
and... i stayed in my workout clothes all day 3 times this week. wow. im not going to lie...i felt like a failure those days.
i love it all though because its part of the christmas season, and i really just cant get enough of it!

my kids make me smile
i love when berkeley says things to me like...
"mom...i love christmas time. thank you so much for christmas time"
or
" im going to get striped presents from santa!"
or
"tomorrow when we wake up we go to disneyland today! oh it be so fun!"
thanks to my sister whitney for taking our 2009 family pictures in my parents amazing backyard

cold days make for happy kids
i don't know why but we have not been going to the park lately. its like prime
time park going season right now
and i have just not been doing it. so today we had nothing to do {besides boring lame cleaning}
so we decided to go to the park. it was really cold today....55 degrees....i was dying.....
but the kids did not seem to mind. they were both in heaven. berkeley ran around
with so much excitement she didn't know how to handle herself, and beckham
was mr. grins the entire time. i need to do this more often.....just go to the park me and the kids.
it was a nice treat to play with them and push them on the swings and not be distracted
with anything else.

i enjoyed all their company this last week and i really felt like i got to hang out with each sibling in different ways

wow....i really love thanksgiving
we went to my parents house this year in california for thanksgiving. every one of my siblings also were with my parents this year so it was extra fun to have everyone there this year. berkeley loved it the entire time because she had cousins around her constantly.
my parents house was a tad bit crowded considering there were 14 people staying there at one
time, but we had fun being with everyone. thanksgiving day we played soccer in the morning, then had some play time in the afternoon, and dinner around 5. our meal was amazing thanks to my mom and my 3 sisters. probably the best thanksgiving meal i have ever had! then that night we played cards then went to a late movie with some of my siblings.
friday we started off with family pictures at the park, then we had my grandmas 90th birthday party. friday afternoon everyone kind of ended up at my parents again, so we played cards again and then went to see the movie new moon with my sisters.
saturday night all of my siblings and spouses got to go out to dinner with no kids which
is always an extra treat. with 22 grandkids it kind of gets exhausting having kids around all the time. then sunday was my cousin katie's mission farewell, with a lovely brunch to follow.
it was a packed weekend with lots of activities and i had so much fun. i was sad to see it end but yet so excited knowing that it is now the christmas season!
everyone hanging out at my parents house
thanksgiving day we always play soccer....so here everyone is after a day of soccer. we only had one injury and then of course i got taken out once by my 11 year old nephew and then againby my 9 year old niece.
the beautiful thanksgiving table my mom put together.
playing on the tire swing at the neighbors across the street. i grew up playing on this swing so it was fun to take berkeley on it for the first time.
berkeley and clay playing outside in the backyard on the swing while jensen was pushing them. im pretty sure she was having the time of her life.
the kids put together this soccer goal in the back yard for the CONSTANT soccer that was going on the whole weekend.
on friday we celebrated my grandmas 90th birthday. all my 6 siblings were there, as well as some of my out of state cousins and out of state aunts and uncles. it was a really
all of her great grandkids minus 5
