Emma's dance recital

Emma has been in a tap dance class for the last few months, and we just had her first dance recital. She did so awesome!!! She had all the dance moves memorized, and she was right on beat the whole time. It was so adorable seeing all those little girls on stage dancing.
This is her on the big stage:
And these next few are from the previous night on a smaller stage:

Just like Daddy!

The other day I looked over, and Briallen had propped herself right next to randy in the same position he was in. I love it when they do things like this! It was so cute. When I got out the camera and told her to say "cheese", this is what I got! Her new smile in front of a camera. lol.

34 weeks

This post is a little over a week late, but this is me at 34 weeks. The pictures are horrible, but I like to show my kids how big I get when they are in my tummy. :) I am now 35 weeks; only 5 more weeks till my due date!! Which means most likely I will have her in 7 weeks! The time has actually flown by for me this time. I am glad I still have a little while, because I have a lot to do before she gets here.

From Fall to Winter...

One day we are all playing in the leaves, and the next day we have a thin coat of snow covering everything. The kids are having a blast in this cold weather! Randy gathered up leaves so they could jump in them, and they loved it! The next day when it snowed they all ran out and made snow angels and ate the fresh snow. I love this time of year!

Santa's bad list

Emma gave me this list that she made last night while she was supposed to be sleeping. She said that it is a list of bad things that she wants to give to Santa so he can add it to his bad list. I LOVE this stage when kids spell out words how they sound! It is definitely a stinkin' cute bad list!!

Starting from the top, this is what the list says, and what she explained to me:

Baby: a bad, mean baby doll. one that pushes

spiders

lions

tigers

bad guys

wolves

ghosts

coyotes

no one knows what this one says

bumble bees

mosquitoes

wasps

owes (how do you spell that?) owee? hmm

poison

poison spiders

jumping spiders

My little performer

Every year Lins grocery store has a holiday event with entertainment, games, and prizes. Usually every year Randy's sister, Bea puts together some dances and musical numbers and I sing with them. This year my girls wanted to sing Jingle Bells, which surprised me because they are SO shy! But they practiced over and over again with the karaoke tape. Especially Emma. She had it perfected. Naomi, however would only practice a couple times, and said that she didn't want to sing. When we got to Lins, Emma refused to even go up to the mic, and when Natalie got up there and realized that Emma wasn't going to sing, she wouldn't either. Naomi was excited to get her own microphone, and stood there and sang the whole song by herself! It was so adorable! This picture isn't very good, but Randy only took one, so it's my only option. I was so proud of my little singer, and happy that at least one of them sang so we didn't make too big of a scene.

Some cute moments...

I am sure that most of you will not think these are funny, or they wont make any sense to you, but I had to journal them so that I would remember, so you can skip this post if you want.

The other day Emma and Natalie decided they wanted to make a Christmas list. They were asking me for help on how to spell things. When they got to the end of their list, they both decided to ask for $100! Man, I hope they get it, and maybe I will ask for money too!

A few days later, Katie's kids came to play while she ran some errands in St.George. She had bought her kids some donuts to eat on the way because they left so early, but Daniel is the only one who will eat donuts, so they had a bunch left over. Katie brought them in to share with my kids. Emma decided that she had wanted one, but Leah had warned her that they were "NOT good". I told her that she could try one and decide if she liked them or not. She took it outside where they were playing, and not long after, came in and said "mom, Leah said that if I eat this then I am not American"..... I was trying so hard not to laugh, but where do kids come up with these things?? lol

Today Briallen was climbing all over me and moving all around, and I was trying to pay a few bills, so I told her to play with my hair. She started playing with it, left the room, and then came back to play with it some more. It wasn't long before I realized that she had caked the top of my head with conditioner! I guess that is her way of telling me that I need to shower or something!

I love doing Temple work!!

A couple weeks ago, some of us in Randy's family were able to go to the temple and do some family sealings. It was such and awesome experience! The spirit was so strong there. Both Randy's Mom and Dad were able to be sealed to thier parents. I am so glad I was able to be there.

Late Halloween post

This year for Halloween Natalie and Naomi both wanted to be princesses, and Emma wanted to be a witch. Naomi dressed herself, and wouldn't let me pick out her outfit, but she was a cutie anyway. And Briallen was a little Teddy Bear, but every time I turned around there were parts of her bear costume spread out all over, so she wasn't into the dressing up this year! We took the kids to the mall and trick or treated there where it was warm, and then we came home. It was a lot of fun.

Fun times with cousins!!!

Yesterday Katie's kids got to come over and play. They had so much fun together, and they were all so good!!! They decided to play dress-up, and be princesses...... and a bear. :) I'm glad they got to spend some time with us!

Picture Day

The other day was picture day at school for Emma. Since I couldn't afford the school's pictures, and I don't really care for them much anyway, I got all the kids ready and we had our own picture day.

Emma and Natalie love doing a "funny face" picture

Briallen was so fun to photograph

These two are such good friends, I am so glad

Naomi insisted on having the map in the picture with her!

Emma

Natalie

Naomi

and Briallen.

It was so much fun taking their pictures. They are growing so fast, and I want to keep these memories of them. I don't know what I would do without my girls!!!

A fun-filled, crazy weekend!

This weekend was Bailey and Josh's wedding. I can't believe how fast time flies!! It was such a great weekend. Bailey looked so beautiful, and Josh couldn't keep the smile off of his face. He is going to be a great addition to our family... A few of these pictures are in the wrong order:

This is all the grandkids that were at the temple.
These are my two beautiful Grandmas: Grandma Bundy and Grandma Turner. I love getting to spend time with them and learn from them. It was so good to see them both. I love my grandmas!!

All of the grandkids rushed up to them as soon as they walked out of the temple. It was so cute. These are Mel and Brianna's girls.

This is the Daddy daughter dance

and I don't know why I am putting this cheesy picture of me on here, but all the kids' faces looked like Briallen's. They all enjoyed the refreshments!

The fun thing about Bundy receptions, is they are so relaxed. Everyone goes there to dance and visit and have a good time. And everyone stays the whole time too. It was a lot of fun to dance with all of the family again!

On Saturday, Dave and Marylynn baptized Brett. Molly and John also blessed Ella, and Ryan and Angie blessed Chloe. I love all of the family get-togethers. It was a lot of fun getting to see everyone, and having all those ordinances performed in one weekend.

23 weeks

Do you know when you are pregnant, and you all the sudden get bigger over night? The other night I went to bed and my garments totally covered my tummy. When I woke up, they were up to my belly button! I am getting bigger and bigger every day. Sometimes I feel like I am not getting that big this time, but then I see people I know that are due any day, and they look about like I do now. Crazy stuff!!

Just a few pictures...

Here are some pictures that I took the other day because we all had our hair done! I really enjoy my girls, they make me so happy!

Play-Dough Hawaii

Today, while I was getting Briallen to sleep, I let the girls play with play dough. This is what they created: They said "Look, Mom! It's Hawaii!!"
Natalie made these: A girl laying out in the water, and some coconut trees (it's kinda blurry).

And Emma made these: Some banana trees, a girl laying out in the water, and a car.

I don't think I was ever that creative when I was thier age! They have never even seen Hawaii, but I think they did a pretty good job guessing what it would be like. I love the little things kids do.

And our baby is a.......

GIRL!!!! An adorable, precious, perfect little girl. The ultrasound was the best one I have ever had, and I could see everything about her. I didn't really want to find out, but Randy and all the kids had different ideas, so we did, and I am glad. She is so precious, and we are so excited to bring her into our home full of beautiful little girls!!!

Emma is old enough for school already!!!

I can't believe how fast time flies!! My baby is in school, it's so crazy. It's all a new experience for us, but she absolutely loves her teacher, and the new friends she has made. It has been really good for all of us.

She is such a poser. She had me take so many different poses of her....haha, I love her!

Dirty Laundry

The other day while I was doing some daily cleaning, I walked into the Laundry room, and this is what I saw:

A bunch of dirty little rug rats hangin' out in the laudry baskets. Kids are so stinkin' fun, I tell ya! It's moments like these that help you enjoy being a mother.
