Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas and it was so nice to be so close to both Matt's parents and mine. We were expecting our Delta Christmas this year to be cold....but the weather was so warm and sunny. It was great because Max and Ava got scooters and Isaac got a bike and they were able to take them to Grandma and Grandpa's and play outside on Christmas day. We had fun spending time with Liz and Ben and cute little Reid. Phil and Kristina were there too and all that was missing was Jon and Mel and kids. We went down to St. George to spend time with my family after Christmas ( forgot my camera) and we had so much fun playing Rock Band with Grandma and Grandpa Evans and Aunt Erin. It was great holiday break and it was truly heavenly to have so much time together.

A big thanks to Scott and Claudia for such a fun Christmas

Throw Pillows

My goal for this weekend was to finish 3 new throw pillows for my living room.

I almost made it......

I got 2 done and they were really quite fun to make. I found some great tutorials on PiLLoWs here. I plan on making more pillows but I'm going to leave that for another weekend.





The pillows match the projects I worked on this past summer with Staci! I know, I know, the yellow is bright....... but I love it!!

P.S. I will try and remember to post the other pillows when they are done.

Hallo ween

Halloween was a little different this year for the kids because they actually got to go door-to-door and trick or treat. In St. George we always went to our ward's trunk or treat. So How was TRICK-OR-TREATING???
Max never wanted to stop. He could've gone all night long. Ava and Isaac thought it was fun but were "tired" after one block. Zoey handed out candy with Mom and then Dad. ( Mom had to drive Max over to a bigger neighborhood so he could fill up his sack)
Grandma and Grandpa Bassett gave the kids regular size candy bars. They were pretty happy about that. They also had a Halloween carnival for the kids a couple of nights before Halloween. The kids bobbed for apples, had a cupcake walk, and painted faces. It was such a fun time!!

Max is still obsessed with Harry.....so for the 2nd year , he is dressed as HP

Ava went as a LA LA LOOPSY doll and unless you have one or have seen the commercials you probably have no idea what a la la loopsy doll is. I made sure to take a picture of Ava holding her doll. She looked super adorable in her costume.

In case you wanted to know....2 year olds don't always want to "dress up" for Halloween. So CHEF ISAAC was pretty ticked at mom and dad when they made him anyways. He looked so stinking cute. The reason he was a Chef is because he is famous for getting into the fridge ( hence the new fridge lock) and getting all the pots and pans out and trying to cook us some things.

I was going to borrow my friends costume to dress up Zoey in, but we didn't end up seeing them because of the flu that's been going around so I have no Halloween pictures of Zoey. Don't worry. I'll dress her up eventually and take a few pictures.:)

randomness

Here are some random pictures of life in the past month......

Some days...( not every day) I get motivated to try new hairstyles on Ava. She loves getting her done done up all cute for school.

My wonderful cousin Missy sent up her Bumbo and this is a picture of Zoey trying it out. Can you believe she is already 5 months old???

and another one in the car seat getting ready to go pick up the kids from school......

What happens when your best friend is also your older sister ? Isaac could tell you! He gets to be her guinea pig:)

The kids get so excited to get dressed up in their DELTA red t shirts and go watch the football games. Here are some pictures right before the game.

just a cute picture of Max holding Zoey before bedtime....

I love his sweet smile.
