Mid March, we all took the weekend off to play down south. The Fords, us, and my parents and Jon, all went to St. George for some hot tubbing, hiking, museum time, and park playing. As always, it was a great trip and fun was had by all…</div>
<div class="p1">
The pool wasn't heated yet, but that didn't stop my kids from jumping in the ice cold water! We took them to the hot tub, but they would jump from one to the other. We even got the baby pool out for Clara and Adelyn and mixed the pool and hot tub water together for the perfect temperature of water for these babies.</div>

We hiked up in Snow Canyon at perfect temperatures. Aaahhh. We did the Butterfly trail again since the Ford's had never been. I love that my kids are such troopers on all of our hikes. Now they know that it's just part of our St. George routine and they actually get excited.</div>

Cheri and Cody got each other ski passes for Christmas and when they realized they weren't going to be able to use them all, Cheri asked me to go! I hadn't skied in 15 years, but I wasn't going to turn down a free day of skiing up at Sundance. Jon had a season's pass so he met up with us as well.</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
I was anxious and excited! I made it down the first run okay, but my legs were a burnin'! I kept at it and by the third run i was feeling better. I ended up getting my groove back by the end of the day and it really was a blast! I loved being up in the mountains, hangin' with my brother and sister, and eating our enormous hamburgers midday. Such a gorgeous day...</div>

The house is ready, now let's party! Face paint is a favorite in our house, especially with my girls. I found the most incredible face painter, Kat, and she got started as soon as the girls arrived. </div>

As she was painting each girl, the rest of the group did their own painting. They each had a canvas to create a rainbow masterpiece. They painted and then glued cotton balls on for the clouds. It was fun to see what these cute girls came up with!</div>

Up next were the rainbow necklaces. With rainbow colored pony beads, the girls came up with their own patterns and colors to construct darling necklaces they could wear home.</div>
<div>
Once we were all done crafting, it was cake time! But this wasn't any old birthday cake, it was the most incredible rainbow cake creation anyone has ever seen!!! My amazingly talented neighbor Amber made it and I couldn't believe how well it turned out. We were all blown away with the 5-layer cake that was frosted with perfection. Each layer was a color to create the rainbow on the inside to make things that much cooler! We topped it off with rainbow candles that burned flames in color-crazy!</div>

Seeing how happy she was with her best buddies made it all worth it. Karoline is such a good friend to everyone around her. She loves to explore, create, craft, engineer, and play, play, play. She is always on the hunt for a good box, special paper, normal paper, sticks, or anything else that she might need for her next project. And I love that she calls them projects. Karoline talks like an adult, talks a lot, and talks with some kind of trucker accent. She is very curious and that drives a lot of the talking and questioning. She is one smart cookie and is already reading, I am so proud! Karoline is so very sweet, sensitive, and is always trying to be brave. I love this girl so much and can't believe I am so lucky to be her mom. It's been such a wonderful 5 years and I can't wait to see what lies ahead for this mini-me of mine. </div>

A few things to note this month.</div>
<div class="p1">
Very exciting day for Capri-she got her ears pierced! And so did I! I had always told Capri that when she turned 8 she could get her ears pierced. Her birthday was right around the corner and we just happened to be at the mall with both grandmas so it just had to be the day! I hadn't worn earrings in years so mine had completely grown in. I went ahead and took the plunge with her. So fun to share something simple but special with this sweet daughter of mine!</div>

Karoline came in and asked if I had any old hats. This girl loves her crafts and projects and I was so curious what she was going to come up with. Not too long after I handed her an old hat of mine, she came back into the bathroom with her newest creation/invention. It was a "Snack Hat!" "See mom, when you go to the zoo and you need some treats, you just grab them from here!" She is my creative genius!</div>

<div class="p1">
Remember back when Karoline was in the ER for possibly taking my grandma's pills? Well now it was Clara's turn! We were at my parent's house (again), and Clara had wondered into my parent's room. What she was doing in there, we didn't know. I had brought her home and put her down for a nap when my mom comes in, pills in hand. They had been spread over the carpet in her room and one was wet. It looked like Clara had gotten into my dad's nightstand drawer where he kept a Ziploc baggie of medicine he took on trips. It usually contained Tylenol and that was what the wet pill was. I called Poison Control and sure enough, they asked me to bring her into the ER. I was in tears at this point. How could I have let this happen again! Too, I was almost positive that she hadn't actually eaten any of them. I bet she put it in her mouth, realized it was bitter, and spit it out. Unfortunately, there was no way to be sure so in to the ER we went. My dad felt so awful and so he came with me.</div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
With Karoline being as amazingly tough as she was in getting her shots and blood drawn (didn't ever shed a tear), I didn't think it possible to have another daughter as tough. I was wrong. Clara had an IV put in without crying a single tear! I couldn't believe it and nor could the doctor or nurses. That made me feel a little bit better at least! A few hours later, the results showed that nothing had been ingested. Thank goodness! It was so nice to know we wouldn't have to stick around overnight like we had with Karoline. Clara got her IV removed and we got out of there...</div>

We had 25 kids there to party! Kind of nuts, but the staff was great in keeping them entertained, busy, and under control. In fact, the only ones that got in trouble were Cheri and I for jumping on the super bouncy tramp...I guess we weren't allowed!<br />
There were obstacle courses set up, the foam pits open, and plenty of jumping and tumbling...<br />

We took full advantage of the sunshine and temperatures near 70.<br />
First up, one of our favorite hikes at Red Cliffs near Leads. I never tire of this hike because of the gorgeous red rock, plenty of nooks and crannies for the kids to find, and the pools at the end are the perfect destination.<br />

We got home from our hike and the kids were still rearing to go so away we went on a bike ride. The condo is near the perfect biking/running trail and it's so nice to know that we don't have to worry about cars as we pedal around. The twins are getting to be stronger bikers every trip...<br />

Wow, another great St. George trip for the books!Alyshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00343807910281759067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817045043370483351.post-63718200515868263892015-08-30T15:31:00.000-07:002015-08-30T15:31:35.826-07:00Roman and Capri are Baptized...<div class="p1">
Roman and Capri had an extra special birthday this year. They got to be baptized on their birthday, February 21st, 2015. I am so happy that they made this decision to be baptized. Both have grown up and learned so much this past year and I knew they were ready. The way they talk about their Primary or Sunday School lessons tells me that they really do believe in becoming a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Tucker and I explained to them that although the baptism ordinance is a cleansing of one's sins, that they are already clean because they haven't been held responsible for their choices. However, we know that Jesus Christ, as perfect as he was, was also baptized and it is important for us to follow his example. Now that they are at the age of accountability, they will need to remember to make the right choice and repent if they make the wrong choice. It was amazing to see them grasp this concept and be so eager to be baptized.</div>
<div class="p1">
As we approached the day of their baptism, I was in such a panic to get everything ready and have everything go according to planned. The day came, however, and I let it all go. I was so overcome with a sense of peace and the Spirit was so strong. We hurried to get pictures done before the meeting started and then it was time.</div>
<div class="p1">
Bishop Badger conducted the meeting and I have to mention how much we all love him. He is so dear, so humble, but he can also be funny and very outgoing. So glad he was able to be apart of this special day! Tucker was up first and he spoke on baptism. I think everyone got teary as he bore his testimony, speaking directly to his children. He wanted them to know how proud of them he was that they were following Christ's example. That if they ever needed help knowing what choice to make, that they could look back at their baptism and see that they followed Christ's example then, and that they could follow his example now in making that choice. He also said he was so happy to finally get to baptize someone seeing as how he never accomplished that on his mission. Two points on the scoreboard for Tucker!</div>
<div class="p1">
After Tucker spoke, all of the grandkids and friends got up to sing "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus." It followed Tucker's talk perfectly and the kids were angels as they sang. We hadn't practiced at all and yet it turned out wonderfully! I have always loved that song and was so glad we worked it into the program last minute.</div>
<div class="p1">
Next it was time for the actual baptism. As Tucker took Roman down into the font, with Capri and I on the other side, I felt the spirit so strong. It continued as he then baptized Capri right after. Everything was right with the world at that moment. I was so overjoyed and my testimony strengthened. I knew now more than ever that this was the true church and that baptism was the first saving ordinance to return to our Heavenly Father. A forever family we will be!</div>
<div class="p1">
While Tucker and I got the kids ready, Cheri had everyone write down their thoughts and feelings on slips of paper for Roman and Capri. This was the best idea! The slips were all compiled into books for Roman and Capri to keep and read through. They have both done this several times since.</div>
<div class="p1">
Once we came back in with the twins, Keith spoke on the Holy Ghost. He did such good job and let them know that everyone can have the Spirit with them, but now they will be given the constant companion of the Holy Ghost as long as they choose to listen. They were then given the most beautiful blessings along with their confirmations by Tucker. I was never so proud to have a husband worthy of the Priesthood. He will continue to be a strength to them and the rest of our family and for that I am so very grateful.</div>
<div class="p1">
Cheri, as their aunt and their Primary President, got to welcome them as the newest members of our Church. She told them that they are going to be "fighting the army (or ninjas!) of Satan" and so they need to always remember to Choose the Right! </div>
<div class="p1">
It was the perfect program and the fact that it was all just for my twins made it that much more special.</div>
<div class="p1">
I wanted to document everyone that came and supported the twins. Unfortunately, the photo conditions were less than ideal so we got a lot of squints! Too, I am sad we didn't have time to get pictures of our friends that came, the Bonds, Ross', and our Bishop and his wife Kim Badger.</div>

Everyone came over to our home after for Waffluv, my absolute favorite, a game truck to celebrate the twins' birthday, and to hang out and visit. The kids were beyond excited about the game truck (we really didn't see them while it was here!), and the adults were just as excited about the waffles. It was a happy day for all!</div>

How did they grow up so fast?! I was in denial, but I had to face the music and start getting ready for the big day. Elizabeth was the best and offered to take their pictures for the invitations. They were the most darling pictures of the two at "our temple" here in Daybreak. I will cherish them because not only are the pictures depicting their upcoming baptism, they show the sweet bond these two share...<br />

Our sweet and beautiful Lexy performed with BYU Ballet Theater Co and we all went down to see her. It was all about princesses and fairy tales so we took the girls. They even got to dress up, however, Karoline has decided she doesn't like princesses so she refused. Totally ok by me! Lexy was just gorgeous on stage. It is so much fun to see her dance. I was in awe every time she came on! The girls loved it, especially because they were able to go on stage with the ballerinas and danced away. Lexy and her cute friend were so darling with them and the girls felt so special! I was getting a bit teary with it all!</div>

Grammy gave the kids another great round of ski lessons for Christmas this year. Even Karoline started up there at Alta Ski School and had a great season! Roman and Capri only do the lifts now which is just awesome. They gained a lot of confidence which allowed them to progress that much faster. Karoline was such a champ and never complained. She has mastered the Magic Carpet so hopefully will make it on the lift next year. They all did awesome for only 5 lessons.</div>

One quick story for the books. Getting 3 kids ready in snow gear, everything packed, and up the canyon (a good 45 minutes away) can be tough. Thank goodness my kids were troopers and happy to help. Well on our third day up, I had just parked the car when Karoline mentioned that she wasn't feeling good. I told her that she had probably gotten a bit car sick and that we just need to get her out of the car. Unfortunately, we weren't fast enough. I am just about to get her out when she throws up all over…twice. I don't think I will ever be able to eat bananas and peanut butter again. It was all over her fleece and sweat pants, car seat, and car. What to do?! I only had 20 minutes before they needed to be checked in and we still needed to rent their skis! I was about to turn around, but I had put so much effort into getting them there and she was feeling fine. So, I decided to give it a go. I figured she could just wear her thermals. Oops, her thermals had also gotten soaked through. To the ski shop we go! I threw on everyone's snow pants and coats and raced over. I quickly found some thermal bottoms and a fleece and, despite the ridiculous price tag, was so relieved. We got her dressed and headed over to the equipment. I had gotten to know the guys there and so I felt like I could fill them in on the situation so they could be quick and get us all outfitted in time for our lesson. They were awesome! We had all three in boots with skis in hand in 5 minutes! The kids made it to their lessons and they all had a great time! Karoline made sure to tell everyone she came in contact with about how she threw up bananas and peanut butter all over the car…twice. </div>

My husband spoiled me rotten with a trip to Hawaii with my girlfriends. We had enough miles for me to fly free and my sister and friends got super cheap tickets so away we went!</div>
<div class="p1">
Jenn got really sick a couple of days before and we were worried she might not make it. She plowed through, however, and after a ridiculously long day of traveling (3 layovers coming from New York!) made it to Hawaii right before I did. Cheri and Annelise had arrived earlier that day and had fallen asleep. I called Cheri, woke her up, and she came racing to pick us up. It was 11:30PM but much later our time. Funny thing is, that after all that, we stayed up for another 2 hours grocery shopping and talking. It had been so long since I had seen Jenn and I guess we were just really eager to catch up! </div>
<div class="p1">
We all woke up early the next morning despite our lack of sleep. We were ready to get to the beach pronto and I literally couldn't wait! Lanikai is a dream. It is my heaven. It is absolute paradise and that day was absolutely perfect. To be at the beach, sun shining, no kids to worry about, talking nonstop with my best of friends, and even taking a nap if I wanted-what can I say? I was loving it!</div>

When it was time to eat, we splurged and ate at Duke's for lunch. Eating on Waikiki Beach is a must once in your life! We also got matching headbands...because that's what you do when you are mothers...</div>

The next day was Sunday and so to church we went. I love that many of our conversations throughout the weekend were on spiritual church related topics. These girls are such good examples for me! Going to church was well worth it and we all loved hearing the sweet messages. As soon as we got out…double rainbow! </div>

It was such a great trip and I will always love these ladies. I love them for their kindness, their listening ear, their encouragement and support, and their willingness to make our friendship a lasting one. We are all so busy in this stage of life and Jenn lives clear across the country, and yet with the effort made, we continue on as such good friends…and sister!</div>

Martin Luther King Day was upon us so why not take advantage of a three day weekend and head to St. George for some sunshine. The kids loved getting out their EZRollers they got for Christmas and had so much fun zipping around on the tennis courts. We made a trip to Thomas Judds for some ice cream on a beautiful afternoon for some yummy ice cream and treats. The weather was perfect for a day of hiking up Snow Canyon. We hiked to the arch and then on to the big cavern. Love getting outside in the middle of January!</div>

Let the sledding continue! New Year's Day was the perfect day for some more sledding at our park right down the street. Karoline and Roman were speed demons going down head first and trying to figure out how to tackle the running start. Capri had a blast as well, just a bit more cautious like her mom! She even found a friend. Cousins, Grandparents, Uncle Jon, and friends…it doesn't get any better than that!</div>

Mindy and Tyler were spending the holiday at their family home in Lake Tahoe and invited us to join them. Tanner and Drew were there along with Keith and Susie. We spent a lot of time sledding and being outside in the beautiful mountains. Their home is incredible and perfectly cozy for such days. </div>
<div class="p1">
The first day we sent to a sledding hill close by and the kids had a blast! There wasn't a lot of snow but we found a great little hill and had parents standing by to prevent any bad spills. Clara loved being in the snow…until she got her bare foot in it! She was a trooper though and we all had fun!</div>
<div class="p1">
We spent one day driving to Reno for some fun at Circus Circus and a movie. Circus Circus was just that-a complete circus…and a dirty one! The movies were all sold out so we ended up going to another town to see Into the Woods and grabbed some grub. The next day we went to the ski resort and took the tram to the tippy top. We had a spectacular view up there! Everyone was feeling adventurous and decided to go ice skating on the rink up on the top. I thought it might be too windy…and it was…but the kids had a great time while they were out for those 25 minutes. Tucker was a champ and took turns with each of them. Never again will they be able to skate in such an amazing place so that is pretty cool!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="p1">
Overall, the kids loved being with their cousins and grandparents. It was nights like our last one that I loved, the adults talking for hours once the littles were in bed!</div>
<div class="p1">
The kids playing right outside our door of the Allred's home...</div>

Christmas Eve is my favorite holiday of the year and this year was no exception. We had the day packed from beginning to "and to all a good night." Lots of games, Christmas movies, and, of course, puzzling throughout the day made it a Curtis Christmas!</div>

As soon as us moms got most of the food prep done, we got the kids started on their gingerbread houses. Many of us adults participated as well…it gets to be somewhat of a competition! </div>

After our delicious dinner, we orchestrated our annual Nativity. It seems to be getting better and better every year. Capri even wrote her part down to then read for the audience. To clarify the parts each child played, London was Mary, Kaleb was Joseph, Roman was a shepherd, Karoline the star, Capri the angel, and Spencer and Eli as Wise Men. I love this tradition. It brings the spirit as we look to the true meaning of Christmas while getting in a few laughs for all of us!</div>

We then made sure to bake some cookies for Santa with all of the cousins taking part. With that done, it was time for these kiddos to get to bed. When we got home, we saw that Elfie our Elf had left to go back to the North Pole, but left some presents for the kids. Christmas Jammies! Capri was so upset that she had gone, but her Clara-style nightgown made her feel a bit better.</div>

Christmas Morning came and we finally got our White Christmas! It had snowed a ton and was still going strong when we woke up. Perfection! Nothing better than kids opening presents in their cozy jammies with snow falling all around! The kids loved all of their gifts and then it was time to go to Grandma's for our traditional cinnamon roll breakfast. Yum.</div>

With Karoline in Capri's old dress, and Clara in a dress both older sisters wore, I was hit with a bit of nostalgia. I just love my kids and wished they would stop growing!</div>

Time to endure the traditional trip downtown to see the lights at Temple Square. I love this tradition, and though many of my family members don't, they are willing to join in every year. Love them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year, however, no one could complain. It was incredibly warm and Temple Square was empty! Now we know to go on a weekday at the beginning of December!</div>

I had never done the Live Nativity, but heard such wonderful things and thought we should give it a try. Especially with how weirdly warm it was for December, it seemed like the perfect time to go...and we were right! This nativity is so incredibly popular, many people came only to wait in line for over two hours, and then have to go home. Fortunately, we were there right at 5:00 and it doesn't even start until 6! We knew we would be waiting for the hour so we brought some yummy snacks from Great Harvest. There were lots of animals to watch while we were waiting and the kids couldn't believe that they were seeing a real camel! There were also parts of "Bethlehem" that we could see getting set up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Funny enough, we were ready and rearing to go as soon as it started and yet the husbands weren't there! They had taken their sweet time, stopping for food on the way no less. Thank goodness they allowed us to sit and wait at the front of the line until they got there.</div>

I was a little worried to be managing these kids on my own for an hour in line, but even Clara was a champ and it turned out great.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As soon as we walked through the gate, we watched Mary on the donkey and Joseph by her side begin their walk to Bethlehem. From then on, we were more and more amazed with this nativity. The costumes, the sets, the animals, and every other detail you can think of. When you go in Bethlehem, you feel like you are back in time. Then you come upon Mary and Joseph in the stable and a newborn Jesus in his manger. We all had tears in our eyes! Such an incredible event that so many volunteer for.</div>

We split the day between the Nielsons and the Curtis' and so we could maximize cousin and family time. We started at the Nielsons and it was just us, Tanner and Drew, Grammy and Grampy, Great Grandma, and our favorite Lexy! After eating an exorbitant amount of food, (Grammy makes amazing stuffing-my favorite!) we hung out, let the kids play with Alfie, and relaxed.<br />

With our tummies still full, we headed to my parent's house for round two! There we ate some more, this time dessert, hung out some more, and put on our annual talent show. Capri showed us her kickover, Karoline did the splits, and we watched video footage of Roman playing tennis. With such booming talent in our family ;), I didn't feel the need to do anything myself. That was, however, until Richard started to sing Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." I love that song and had to get up to play backup. We are horrible singers. The fact that Cheri filmed us and put it on Facebook kills me a little, but it's all good!<br />
Before everyone left, we promised the kids we would play Hide N Seek. It was so fun to get in on the action. With such a big house and the lights out, it turned into quite the game!<br />

<b>Primary Program:</b><br />
I love being in Primary and the Primary Program is the best! I loved hearing my kids at the pulpit and singing my favorite Primary songs. It was Karoline's first time and she was asked about reading scriptures. She said, "I like reading scriptures with my family because we get to hang out." Totally in her own words, I loved it!<br />

<b>Pumpkin Patch</b><br />
It's tradition. We have gone to our neighborhood pumpkin patch every year and I don't see us changing our venue anytime soon! The kids love picking out their favorite pumpkins, playing on the haystacks, and visiting the petting zoo. This year was unseasonably warm which made it that much nicer...<br />

<b>Running Scared</b><br />
Cheri and Cody's triathlon company puts on a Halloween race every year. Tucker thought it would be a great service project for his scouts (and Roman!) to hand out waters along the way. With everyone helping out at the race, I decided to take the girls for a run! Capri and Karoline took turns in Big Red and sometimes I was pushing all three of them. Let's just say that I did not complete the 10k. The kids loved seeing everyone dressed up and I got a bit of a workout so I think it was worth it!<br />

I am thrilled to have one of my best friends, Nicole Maughan, as Karoline's ballet teacher. Karoline is so happy to be in her class along with London, Sarah, and Nicole's daughter Naomi. To celebrate Halloween, Nicole let them dress up and they all performed for the parents. So darling!<br />

<b>Karoline's School Halloween Party</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
South Jordan Montessori's Annual Halloween Parade and Party is always a hit. This year was particularly funny. I have to set the stage for you. Susie goes all out with my kids costumes and let's them pick our whatever they want from the Chasing Fireflies catalogue. These costumes are so extravagant and fabulous that, as my dad put it, "I feel so bad for these other moms!" So, not only is Karoline looking amazing in her butterfly costume, those wings are huge and covering up the other poor kids! My parents were dying laughing as Karoline kept wiping out the boys next to her with her giant, and sparkly, wingspan. It was so fun though and the twins got to join us since they were off track!</div>

Cheri, my mom and I all decided to meet at Cornbelly's for the afternoon. It was kind of an ordeal without husbands to help, but the kids had plenty of fun. They loved the corn kernel "beach," the jumpy platforms, the princess stage (Karoline was dancing up a storm!), all of the play equipments, the train ride, and Roman had fun on the tractor bikes...</div>

<b>Halloween!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Halloween was finally here in all its glory. We headed out with our crew including Zorro, Miss Musketeer, our Monarch Butterfly, and what I like to call Halloween Spirit (aka mom not wanting to dress up the little one!). Trick-or-treating in such warm weather was a treat itself and made for tons of candy collecting. I love that everyone congregates at my house after for soup, rolls, and visiting. The kids favorite part of the night? Passing out candy! Karoline and Sarah were cheering/yelling for everyone to come to our door. They all love it!</div>

Clara had taken a step or two here and there, but had never done more than that. Well as the kids were watching the show in the store, Clara decides to get up and start walking! It was so all of a sudden! She would take multiple steps, stumble, get right back up and walk some more. I couldn't believe it! It was as if she just decided to go ahead and walk...the day before I was set to leave...I was going to miss this and it didn't make leaving any easier. That being said, she was still that adorable and awkward toddler when we got back.<br />
A baby's (or 17 month old's!) first steps...nothing better...<br />
