One week to go, christmas is almost here!! I dont know about you, but this whole santa thing is HARD!! Nick is older now and i am not a very good secret keeper.
The expectations, "santa's" wrapping paper, hiding the presents, all the surprises, trying to shop without kids, awwww!! This year Nick is so interested in the whole thing, not just getting gifts but giving, sweet little guy!! He is so concerned if santa is real, he is only 5!!
Jorja loves santa, when she sat on his lap (once at the mall and once at the Argyle family christmas party) she was in amazment, she laughed at him and tipped her head, like wow look at this guy! We are pretty much done christmas shopping, just a few odds and ends left, christmas dinner with the girls, cookie exchange party saturday, lots of fun!!
Our Wedding Day
sundance
After all the halloween fun with the kids was all over, we went up to sundance to watch nathan and two and a half white guys play, it was packed, they rocked!! Holly, Brad, Brooke, Maria, Roger and Zach sneaking in the picture. I needed a night out!!
halloween
This year we dressed up as the Dalmatians (try not to laugh too hard)
Bugga was Cruella De Vil, she looked so good!
nick was a good sport to wear the dog costume with all of us but he wanted to tricker treat in his black spiderman costume that he also wore to school. we went to joe and jeanettes for dinner and then out for a little tricker treating with the family, it was fun!!

UEA weekend
It is rare that Nathan has a weekend off from his bands, so we took advantage of the long weekend for UEA. Nick and Nathan were both off of school, i took a few days off and we headed to st george for a long weekend, we were originally headed to Disneyland but decided to save some money and just stay in st george. Disneyland will be better when jorja is older. We had a lot of fun, it was beautiful weather high 80's, we swam, we hiked, went to the dinosaur museum, we shopped and ate too much. It was really good time and glad we went!
Finished
The skateboard ramp is done! this picture sums it up, you can barley see Nick up there,
the ramp is so big! I am proud of my husband, he can build just about anything! This is something he has always wanted, we have a big enough yard that it is perfect.
too bad it wasnt a new kitchen, haha That will be the next big project!
Our little girl turns 1 !!
Happy Birthday Jorja!!
September twelveth she turned one, wow this year has flown by!
she is so much fun, girls are defiently harder then boys, she is emotional and moody
where nick at her age was wild! She is not walking yet but close, she chatters, mommy, dada, nick, thank you, and she signs a few things too! she knows all her features, she waves and claps but the cutest thing..... she sings happy birthday!
what fun, she is such a joy! There is nothing more rewarding then my great kids!
We had her party, lots of people came, she did not like her hands in the cake at all! so cute!
Thank you everybody for coming over and spoiling our little girl, fun day!!!
1st day of school
Today was the big day.... Nicks first day of kindergarten!
Lets back up a little bit, If you know me, you know that i have a schedule, so last night in preparation of school, both kids bathed, new school clothes ironed and sat out for morning, backpack ready by the door and kids a sleep by 8:20, nick was so excited, he was excited to ride the bus? poor kid we don't have a bus, i will be taking him. He wanted to wear a red shirt, his teacher assigned colors for each day to wear for the first week, i was a little disappointed only because he has such cute clothes and he wore the red "Ben 10" shirt, he still looked cute. we dropped Jorji off first and then to the madness of elementary school mornings, there were kids, cars, bikes everywhere, we got out and i walked in, but i embarrassed him taken pictures the whole way, so was every other mom too! he found his class room, he was so excited and nervous i could tell, we were the first ones there, his sweet little teacher remembered his name, he was so good, he is such an easy going little guy, and then i left.......
proud of him but sad only because he is growing up too fast!

Nick is excited to start Kindergarten, we are all done school shopping, next he has back to school night to meet his teacher and then assessment testing. I drove to Phoenix last friday and drove back home on saturday, to pick up a good friend, that was a fast road trip!!! we go to the pool every chance we get, the kids love the water. we have a new renter in the basement, ty moved out and nick is so sad! we had 2 very, very large branches break in our yard, taking out the entire city blocks power, that was fun, no! we went boating on sunday, it was so much fun! nick asked me "why havent we gotten a boat yet" ha ha funny kid! he was great, he loved the tube and he even wanted to try wakeboarding, brave little guy, of course i didnt let him try it just yet!

Arts Festival
Nathan played at the arts festival this year, every chance we get, we take nick to watch dad play, Bugga watched jorja and we went to the arts festival. he is getting older now he is starting to understand that his dad is in a band and people actually come to see HIM play. Sitting backstage, listening to dad sing, watching the crowd all dance, everybody buying cd's, nate signing autographs, nick said "so i guess my dad IS cool"
we laughed so hard! I am very proud of my musican husband!
