Maddie, Molly and Hallie. They have 4 kids, and our kids right in between theirs. Justin and I also went sledding and we took videos, but I can never upload them onto my blog. But it was pretty steep and fun! We had a lot of fun playing card games as adults at night after the kids were down.<br />

My sisters, mom and I went to Vegas for a little girls trip at the end of February. We took this pic as we were taking off in the airplane. My mom was across the aisle ;)<br />

This was the special that day. Not sure if you can tell, but it's about the same amount as a can of spaghettios! It was yummy and you could tell it was homemade, but obviously Giada doesn't eat much! Ha! We all kinda agreed on that one. Serving size was tiny, just like Giada herself. (Famous chef, Giada de Laurentis in case you don't know who I'm talking about).<br />

We saw Donny and Marie at the Flamingo one night. It was a fun show, even if I was one of the youngest in the crowd :) But they were really funny and entertaining. Man, they can still move at their age! I don't look that good currently. My mom was the one who was looking forward to seeing them the most.<br />

We ate at a yummy breakfast place the day we flew out. I had the raspberry cream cheese french toast. It was really good and there was plenty to go around! The fun thing about our trip was ordering a few things and sharing. We did that at most places we went. Then we got to have a sampling of everything. It was a good way to go.</div>

Thanks to my mom and sisters for all the fun! We are sad Becky (our sil) didn't make it with us, but being pregnant and not feeling well, it was probably for the best. And yes, next time we are going to somewhere where it will be WARM! (Chicago last time was cold and rainy and Vegas was rainy too...darn)</div>

My sister Emily came out in January for a month and we had fun with her and her kiddos! I had a couple of free passes to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden and we had never been, so we invited Emily to come with her kids.<br />

Now that I'm on instagram, I don't check out blogs very often or update my own! I saw the cutest mantle from tadahomedecor (found on ig). They sell home decor sets for each holiday and they are really cute! I loved the winter mantle they made, but I wasn't interested in spending around $100 for it when I knew I could reproduce it myself!<br />
<br />
So that's what I set out to do.<br />
<br />
The cute flags in the pic above are from an artist that I've bought stuff from before. I decided I couldn't duplicate these, so I bought some from her to add to the rest of my things. My mom gave me the little white stand and my mil gave me the blue and white ornaments!<br />

When we were in WY making the big snowflakes, I had the boys make me this small one. I had the blue mason jar from the Super Saturday our RS did this past summer.<br />

I really loved how my mantle turned out! I got the lantern on the left at a Xmas party exchange, the deer I already had from Xmas decor and the candles and candlesticks I've had since we got married as a wedding gift. My mom bought me the cute star garland from a Dillard's sale on New Year's Day this year.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I've ever had a winter mantle after Xmas. I am happy that I didn't have to buy that many additional things.<br />
<br />
Of course I put all of my Valentine stuff out after and now I have St. Patrick's decor out! It never gets old to me changing out from season to season! And Justin's a pretty good sport about it ;)Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12209025319812894625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173363221506795817.post-43567268045047330322015-02-24T16:14:00.001-07:002015-02-24T16:14:19.471-07:00Learning to Ski<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year we decided to get our girls ski passes and learn to ski! Snowbasin Ski Resort only charges $10, so we figured it was worth it (Even if they hated it!)!<br />
<br />
Their cute cousin Emery came with us as well as my sister Natalie.<br />

I couldn't have done it without my sister! She helped Ali while I helped Molly. Emery is a great little skier and can go by herself. She would usually lead us all and we would follow her to the bottom!<br />

Me and my girls!<br />
<br />
I have to say when I first put Ali in her skis she was freaking out and I was thinking I made a really bad mistake trying to teach her! But she got the hang of things and we figured it out. I handed Ali over to Natalie and that was a wise choice. She couldn't freak out as much with her as she would have with me I'm sure!! It was amazing how much they learned in just a couple of hours. We have had such a mild winter that it's been hard to get up since this first time. We have only gone one other time. We haven't gotten a lot of snow. Last weekend looked really cold, and I need ideal conditions for these girls just learning.<br />
<br />
The second time we went, they did even better. We ran into a neighbor who was an excellent teacher and by the end of their 2nd day on skis, they both could ski down the bunny hill without an arm or ski pole to hold onto. I'm hoping we can go a few more times before the season is over!Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12209025319812894625noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173363221506795817.post-17336956571466410192015-02-11T11:52:00.002-07:002015-02-11T11:52:52.377-07:00Alison's 5th Birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We celebrated Ali's birthday with the Pendleton side when we were up in WY after Christmas. Ali got a glow pad (that didn't end up working so we had to return it) and a mermaid barbie. She was thrilled!<br />
<br />
Dear Ali,<br />
<br />
We love having you in our family and you can be the sweetest girl! You love to cuddle in the mornings. You love to draw and do creative projects. You are a bit of a hoarder and like to put all your things and papers on your bed! We are trying to get you out of that habit ;) You can be really stubborn on things and only want to do things your way sometimes. But we've seen you be a really nice sister and friend to others. We just got your kindergarten shots and you were really not happy about it! But you are excited to go to kindergarten next year. You enjoy going to preschool and tumbling. You are very observant and ask very smart questions! We can tell you are always thinking. We love you so much!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

We drove up to Wyoming on Christmas Eve to be with all of Justin's family. This is the last year where everyone was going to be all together. We came earlier than expected and surprised everyone. It was a good idea because the weather was supposed to be bad on Christmas day.<br />
<br />
We had a really fun Christmas Eve together. The grandkids all sang a favorite song for grandma and grandpa. It was a surprise and they loved it! I tried loading the video, but I couldn't get it to work. They sang "Little Toy Trains."<br />

Ali had a cute Christmas performance. I was really proud of her for being up in front of everyone and actually singing and doing all the actions. She can be shy when she wants to be!<br />

December is always a whirlwind, right? Actually, it didn't seem overly crazy, which was nice. My parents did something a little different this year. They gave us 4 sets of Christmas gifts at the first of December and we were to open up the gifts each week leading up to Christmas. It was really fun. We opened them on Sunday nights and the kids really looked forward to it each week!<br />

And Alison took this pic of me addressing Christmas cards! We have a new stamp and it was pretty wet, so that's why they are all hanging out on the floor ;)<br />

Ok you guys. I'm not sure if there is even a "guys" to be included here since I don't even look at my blog anymore! Sheesh. Just can't decide what to do about it. But since I have a minute, I thought I would update the holidays here.<br />
<br />
Since I love to decorate, I threw in some of those pics too.<br />
<br />
We had Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house with Nat and her family, Todd, Ryan and his family and then a couple of cute gals from my dad's singles ward came as well.<br />

After dinner we played a fun game. Can't remember the name, but we essentially traded gift cards around. It was really fun!<br />

We had a lot of fun with Halloween this year. These pictures are all mixed up, so I'll just include the captions, even if they are out of order.<br />
<br />
We had sugar cookies one night with the kids.<br />

Justin and I dressed up as Mary and Bert from Mary Poppins. Just for the record, I don't usually dress up, but Justin's work has a big Halloween party with trick or treating, so he always encourages me to dress up. However, it can be pretty fun :)<br />

Molly was Elsa, Ali was Anna and Jackson was an elephant. I made the girls these dress ups several months ago and decided they should get their use for Halloween too. This was the year of Frozen, for sure, but that's ok!<br />

We had a fun family Halloween party one Saturday. They kids all dressed up (minus Jackson who would not dress up until Halloween day when we went to the neighbors and I let him pick out a costume--the elephant).<br />
<br />
We had Halloween food, played some games and had a fun time.<br />

They had a free event one night that we went to with our kids. It was at the Utah State Botanical Center in Kaysville. They had a bunch of free things to do as well as a few other things you could pay for. Playing the needle in the haystack game above.<br />

I made this fun pallet sign for my porch. It says When witches go riding and black cats are seen, tis __ days until Halloween. The kids like helping me change the number each day.<br />

Last year I think we had one person come trick or treating to our door. This year we ended up putting our bowl out so we could go around with our kids all together. We didn't stay out too long, but I had about 4 bags of candy and we ran out! Our neighbor had the corn dog truck parked at their house on our street. My neighbor said they sold 400 hotdogs on Halloween! It was fun to hang out with friends before we all went out. We have a great neighborhood!Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12209025319812894625noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173363221506795817.post-57002872933755430402014-11-09T13:33:00.000-07:002014-11-09T13:33:00.410-07:00Trip to WY <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We went to Wyoming last month over fall break for the weekend. We had lots of fun! Justin's brother Mark, and his family came as well as his brother Brad.<br />

We always have great food! Some of our family's favorites were eaten this time. Marshmallow popcorn is Justin's grandma Betty's signature snack/dessert I would say. I love it! So addictive :) She knows I love it, so often if she's around when we are she will make some up.<br />

Jackson's cousin Paxton is 5 months older and this trip they were old enough to play together. They were so cute! They would push each other and fall down laughing, taking turns. We saw them sword fighting with their forks at dinner and running and jumping on the couches together. Such fun friends!<br />

It was a beautiful weekend to be there. Molly lost another tooth while there too! Although she was in complete hysterics until we pulled it. Ha, silly girl!<br />

For those who don't know, I really love to decorate for the holidays. Halloween is one of my favorites to decorate for! Last year we had just moved in and I think I finally put out some Halloween decorations, but I didn't really get a full fix. This year I had some projects I wanted completed.<br />
<br />
First off, I finally finished this table runner. I've been working on it for 2-3 years I think. I had just enough scrap fabric left to put the border on, I pieced together fabrics for the back and with about 2 inches left bound it. Phew! It was nice not having to go to the store to get anything for that project.<br />
<br />

I first saw this wreath on the blog <a href="http://tatertotsandjello.com/">Tatertots and Jello</a>. I have always liked it and since I finally have a front door, I had to make it. My neighbor has a silhouette and kindly let me use it to make the bats. This project cost about $13, so I would say it was a win!<br />

Here is my shelf as you first walk into the entry. The door is on the left. The white plates I found at Secret Haven a few years ago. I made the banner last year with my mom (or 2 years ago?) and the piece of driftwood I got when I was in WY in August. I love it here!<br />

I got a few crows from the dollar store. I found the idea for this silly crow from <a href="http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2014/09/spooky-elizabethan-crows.html">here</a>. The block below I had in raw form and I painted it and put the scrapbook paper on.<br />

Here is my mantel. I pulled out what I had first, but had to add a few things to make it more Halloween. I made the garland at the bottom with some pop poms I bought at JoAnn, then above that I have some lace and above that a beaded chain (made with dollar store necklaces). I stole the ribbon from my mom as well as the bats. Thanks mom! I used some scrapbook paper on the candles and crepe paper that I gathered to go on top of the paper on the candles. I found some doilies my mom gave me to put under the pumpkins. I would never have thought doilies would work with Halloween, but I'm kind of liking how it all turned out!<br />
<br />
<br />
For FHE this week we went over to Pack's Pumpkin Patch, here in Farmington. It was our first time here and it was fun. They had a giant field with pumpkins, a maze, props to take pics with, tractors, the whole thing.<br />

$27 later we headed out with our pumpkins and squash. Of course I had to use them to decorate my porch!

This girl had her golden birthday this year--7 years old on October 7th! We had a great time on her birthday. We stayed at my parent's time share at the Marriott Mountainside in Park City the night before her birthday. Some friends came up for the night and stayed over with us. They had to head early the next morning. We had Molly open gifts on the morning of her birthday.<br />

I got the kids to indulge me and come shopping for a bit but then we went back and they wanted to swim. The pool was like 85 degrees. Too hot for my taste! But the kids loved it and had fun.<br />

This was late, but I ordered a shutterfly book for Molly. I made one for Jackson for his birthday and the girls have wanted one for them. I had a coupon code for a free book so I just paid shipping! She loved it and I think it turned out really cute.<br />

Her cake. This wasn't a year for a big friends party, but she was off track and really wanted to have a "late night". So I said she could invite 2 friends. She chose her friends from her class at school, Macey and Sienna.<br />

I was attempting a barbie cake, but the real barbie ended up being too tall for this and since she only had a couple friends, I didn't want to make a giant cake. So I found a little Elsa doll that worked perfectly. I think it turned out pretty well considering I have never made a cake like this before! A big thanks to my neighbor Erika for letting me borrow her cake baking supplies.<br />

We got to celebrate cousin Laney and Molly's birthdays when Grandma and Grandpa Pendleton came down for the weekend. We got together on Sunday night and had dinner, cake, ice cream and gifts of course!<br />

Grandma and Grandpa even spoiled everyone with Cold Stone ice cream and an ice cream cake! Yummy.<br />

We love seeing the leaves change and decided to go for a drive to a pretty place we've been before. We went during General Conference sessions on Sunday.<br />

Ali started preschool in September. She was anxiously looking forward to going since Molly started year round school at the end of July. She kept asking, "When am I going to school?"!<br />
<br />
Her teacher is Miss Vanessa and she goes M, W, F from 9:30 to 12:00 pm. She has loved it so far! This will be her only year of preschool and next year she will go to kindergarten. Her teacher has a preschool in her basement and we can choose to walk or drive her! It's nice having it so close. There are 4 other girls and 1 boy in her class. Nice and small. We are excited for all the fun things she will learn this year!Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12209025319812894625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173363221506795817.post-81791777425209594922014-08-19T13:32:00.002-06:002014-08-19T13:32:15.271-06:00Wildflower Pedalfest 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My sister Natalie talked me into doing a race in her little hometown of Mountain Green, UT. She's about 30 mins northeast of me. We signed up to ride 35 miles.<br />
<br />

It was quite the eventful day for me. When I was pumping up my tires on my bike the morning of the race, my back tire was flat. Justin came home 30 minutes late and I was nervous I wasn't gonna have enough time to fix my tire and get my packet for the race.<br />
<br />
Well I made it up the canyon and to the race in record time and luckily there was a tent with guys helping out with bikes. I gave them my new tire and they put it on for me. I grabbed my packet, met my sister and we started.<br />
<br />
After the first 12 miles or so, my back tire felt wobbly. I got off and sure enough, it was flat AGAIN! I couldn't believe my bad luck. A truck drove by about 30 seconds after and picked up me and my bike and took me to the feed stop, which was only about a mile or so away from where we were.<br />
<br />
Once again, there was a tent set-up and they had a tire they gave me and the nice guy fixed my 2nd flat!<br />

Here I am waiting my turn to get my bike fixed. I couldn't believe that this was the first time I had ever had a flat and then it happened again!<br />

I'm so glad they had support at each feed stop. Otherwise I would have been done unless another rider knew how to help and had an extra tire. I don't even know how to fix a flat! Bad!<br />

All in all, it was really fun and we had a great ride. We just went slow and steady and chatted while we went! After the race they had a yummy catered lunch and frozen yogurt bar! Every detail was thought of and it was a really fun time.

They even got to milk a cow! We went to the rodeo on Saturday night as well. We stayed until 9:30 pm when Ali had fallen asleep on Justin's lap and we figured we should get our kids to bed. Too bad we missed the bull riding. But we did see mutton busting, kids chasing cows with money on them, barrel racing, calf roping and a few other events.</div>

We went to Star Valley a couple of weekends ago for a family reunion. We arrived on a Thursday night before most of Justin's siblings arrived. On Friday, Molly was anxious to pull her tooth out! </div>

After! Nice gap :) We tied floss around her tooth and Justin yanked it out! We have a video and it's pretty funny. Molly looks terrified and it hurts for a second, but then she's fine. The tooth fairy found her and she got $2! The WY tooth fairy pays big!</div>

Justin's uncle David and his whole family were also there. Two other sets of aunts and uncles came for one night as well. It wasn't the entire extended family, but we got to see a bunch of family we don't always get to see. We had a fun time!<br />

Uncle David brought the karaoke machine up. Everyone had a fun time singing their hearts out!<br />

Ali had to get a boot on after her brother pushed her off the barstool and she landed on the tile floor. This happened at the end of July. She was in it for about 3 1/2 weeks. She was a good sport and didn't really complain. She could take it off at night. Although for the first week she wouldn't walk on it and she would crawl around in it. We finally forced her to walk on it and then she was fine.<br />

We stopped in at the county fair on Saturday afternoon. This is Molly, Ali and cousin Laney. They were having elephant rides, but at $20 a person, we said they could just look at them instead!<br />

We rode the short train and it was a 20 minute ride. They have 2 larger trains, but this one was the most fun and the longest ride. It was so fun! They have done such a good job. There are tunnels, waterfalls, train cars to see, farm equipment, etc. </div>
