Wild Wednesday

We had quite a busy day on Wednesday.  The kids went to the dentist for their 6 month cleaning and then we went to Disney on Ice that night.  The kids LOVED the show and can't wait to go again!

 I know all the food and toys are ridiculously over priced but it's only once a year so we got the popcorn and snow cone, $45 (just teasing but that's what it felt like).

 Taylor loved seeing the princesses, the problem was she thought she was allowed to go down and see them and kept trying to leave our seats to get to them.  At Disneyland you wait in line to see the princesses and then you go down in this amphitheater area and get to take pictures with them and hug them.  She was really confused that she had to sit there and not see them up close.

 Minnie and Micky started the show by exploding out of this huge present, it was really fun.  The place went wild when they saw them.

 Tyson's favorite part of course was Jack and the villains.  He is really into being the "bad" guy right now when he plays.  Villains are more fun so I can't blame him :)

 Hayden was enthralled with the show and was waving her arms and legs wildly.  Everyone thought she was hysterical (especially the guy next to Jason).  She was so tired by intermission, it made the second half a little crazy.
Here are Tyson and Taylor in the lobby of the dentist's office.

Tyson has no fear of the dentist which is odd because he's scared of everything else!  He laid right down on the table and was ready to go. 

Taylor had to be bribed into laying down.  She was told she could have a princesses toothbrush if she laid down and  she was very agreeable after that!

Tyson doing awesome!  This picture makes me so happy, being obsessed with teeth and all :)

Taylor showing off her finished product, look at those pearly whites!

I also had the dentist check Hayden's teeth out.  Her front tooth is coming in crooked and being a tooth crazy I told them I would pay for baby braces.  I don't know why more babies don't have them.  These things need to be nipped in the bud.  She can't walk yet but she could do braces, right?  The dentist looked at me a little oddly and said he would reassess her in 6 months and there isn't much to do about it.  I think I need a second opinion!

Snowmageddon

On Monday it snowed in Vegas!  This is our back yard Sunday night around 10:30pm.  Jason ran outside and took these lovely photos.

 The guys had their annual eye appointment at 9am on Monday morning and it was horrible driving in the stuff!

 I lived in Utah for a few years and that was enough snow to last me a lifetime! This makes me so sad, I love Vegas for it's lack of snow.

Happy Snowmageddon!

Christmas 2010

Christmas!!! Finally I am blogging about it.  A week late but here they are nevertheless :)   

Hayden has the craziest hair right now.  It sticks out all over.  I can't wait til it gets long enough to do things with.

Here are Christmas Eve PJ's.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa DeMille.

Christmas morning!!!  The present bonanza!  Don't you just love Christmas morning?  It's just the most awesome morning of the entire year!  As a kid it's the presents and the Santa excitement, then when you're an adult it's the culmination of all your hard work.  I love it!!  Look at those faces!

Tyson was hilarious this year!  He opens his first gift and didn't know what to do with it.  He states, "This wasn't on my list".  We convinced him he could keep it even though it wasn't on his list.  He was so serious about his Christmas wish list.  He asked for tons of legos!

When we weren't laughing about Tyson's seriousness, we were dying over Hayden's excitement!  She got a mini kitchen that sings and when the song is turned on she sits and waves her arms like crazy.  It made her so happy, I have to give myself a big pat on the back for that purchase :)

Nickel of course was in the middle of everything.  She just turned 6 years old!  We can't believe it, we thought for sure we would have killed her by now, especially after she ate Jason's ipod, or the time she chewed up our visitors digital camera, or the time she jumped over the back fence and we were driving the streets looking for her after midnight...wow I think I am going to be applying for sainthood soon just for not killing that dang dog :)

Taylor got a laptop from Grandma and Hayden loved her busy ball.

Taylor is such a girly girl and she got tons of jewelery for Christmas.  She loved opening presents and was so excited for princess gifts, shoes, and chapstick!

I could not resist getting the girls matching outfits.  Aren't they the cutest?

Hayden's official first word is "Go".  She says it everytime the dog comes around.  I guess we say it a little too much to poor old Nickel.  Hayden LOVES the dog!  I complain about how annoying the dog is but I love that the kids are growing up with an animal. 

Princess Taylor.  I love that the kids will wear whatever craziness I put them in.  Taylor got a ballerina outfit and Tyson got a soldier and fireman outfit.

Isn't she a doll?  Grandma DeMille sent these darling hair poofs.

Christmas was pretty low key this year.  We had just the family, guys and Grandma here.  We opened gifts had a wonderful breakfast made by Jason and then went to a movie.  I really tried to enjoy how excited the kids were this year.  I love how excited they got over their gifts and how fun it has been to do all the great holiday traditions with them.  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!!
