4 BEAUTIFUL KIDS AMONGST THE BEAUTIFUL ROCKS

Are you sure it's safe? It looks questionable to me?

A couple of the things that Cyrie says lately:

She always says she needs 29 bucks for things. "Mom, I need 29 bucks!"

She also talks about her boyfriend Trey and her girlfriend Dazy and Lacy.

Don't know where they came from but they are involved in everything in her life.

Her girlfriend did that, or goes there, or has that, you name it one of her girlfriends has done it or it's her girlfriends favorite.

When asked where her shoes are- "They are at my boyfriends house."

"Where is your boyfriends house?"

"By Lances , do you want to go there?"

WHILE HIKING, WE FOUND THIS FUN TREE!

WE NAMED IT THE KISSING TREE-

BECAUSE WE SCARED AWAY A LITTLE COUPLE THAT WAS KISSING IN IT!

WAKEN UP IN VEGAS

ONE OF CYRIE'S FAVORITE SONGS IS BY KATIE PERRY -

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR WAKE'N UP IN VEGAS.

SHE ALWAYS SINGS IT WHEN WE ARE GOING THERE.

HELENA AND CARSON WANTED A PICTURE OF THE ROLLER COASTER

AT NEW YORK NEW YORK.

THEY WENT ON IT THE LAST TIME WE WERE THERE!

Mmmm Mmmmm M&M's

Every color under the sun!

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

When we went to Las Vegas to take Helena to the airport we stopped at the MGM Grand. We were at the Lions Den watching when the guys came out to feed them. We were right by the glass and they threw hamburger on the glass right in front of Cyrie and Cambria. Cyrie was fine, Cambria was a little uncomfortable. One of the Lions walked right above us and peed on the glass bridge just above our heads. EWE! Good thing it was leak proof glass!

CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE

SPRINKLING REINDEER FOOD

a Riddle Christmas Eve Tradition

SANTA GOT COOKIES AND CHOCOLATE MILK AND THE REINDEER GOT AN APPLE

Cyrie says that we need to go get our presents cuz Santa is a busy man.

SANTA'S A BUSY MAN!

When we were on our way to Grandma and Grandpa's we were driving at night, and in the middle of no where off in the distance, in a vacant field appeared a factory. It was all lit up with lights everywhere with smoke bellowing out of the top of it. I said, "Cyrie look! what is that?" She replied, "Is it a Castle?" I proceeded to tell her that it was Santa's Workshop. Her eyes lit up and she got a huge smile on her face as only an Innocent 3 year old can have and said,"Dad pull over we need to go there!" I told her that Santa was busy making toys and that if she watched close Santa's Castle would disappear right before her eyes. As we drove by, the shadow of the mountain slowly covered the factory from left to right until it was gone and all that was left was darkness. MAGIC!
I'm pretty sure that Cambria even bought it! It was the highlight of Christmas this year and so every time we talked about Santa Cyrie would pipe up that "He is a busy man!"

THE SEARCH IS ON

CARSON WOKE UP THIS CHRISTMAS MORNING TO NOTHING BUT AN ENVELOPE WITH A LETTER FROM SANTA.

HE HAD TO GO ON A TREASURE HUNT FOR HIS SANTA GIFT!

FOR THE BOY WHO SAYS " I HEAR EVERYTHING ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT!", HE

WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT HIS SANTA GIFT WAS RIGHT UNDER

HIS OWN BED!

HE HAS BEEN ASKING FOR A PLAYSTATION 3 FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS, GUESS HE WAS A GOOD BOY THIS LAST YEAR!

LIFE ACCORDING TO CAMBRIA:

Aaron gave us gifts for Christmas and told us not to open them until Christmas day. That about killed the kids especially Cambria. She would hold them and shake them every day. One day she said, "Mom, I'm pretty sure that Aaron gave us French Fries!" Wanting to know just how she came to that brilliant conclusion, I asked how she knew that. Her response is classic Cambria, "The box is shaped just like a french fry box, and when I shake it it sounds like French Fries." Just for giggles, I asked her if it smelled like French Fries.

"Mom, he's smarter than that! I'm sure he put perfume on it!"

WOW!

CHRISTMAS CHAOS, WRAPPING PAPER, BOXES, AND FUN!

WE HAVE TRULY BEEN BLESSED THIS PAST YEAR.

IT WAS SO FUN TO HEAR FROM FRIENDS, SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY, AND

ENJOY BEING HEALTHY AND HAPPY!

WE WISH EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HOPE YOUR NEW YEAR IS A HAPPY ONE!

SLEDDING AT GRANDMA SCOTT'S

Cyrie sledding with Uncle Nate.

She wouldn't take her Dora hat and gloves off for days.

HOLD ON HOLD ON



On the return home from Ogden, we were dropping down into St. George and Cambria stated very loudly from the back seat, "MOM, IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M IN A BOX! CAN YOU HEAR ME!" (Loud and Clear)
"HEY MOM! IT REALLY SOUNDS LIKE I'M IN A BOX!"
(Um, Heard Ya!)
I gave her some Magic gum and miraculously she was cured. Go Figure!
