Everyone loves to hold PaPa's bunnies (especially Nellie). Cute little things. The girls were begging me to get one of them. We have had one before and let's just say they poop a lot it stinks. It's not fun changing their cage. It is fun to watch them hop around the yard though.
For our annual Cousins Christmas Party we made ornaments, decorated cupcakes, made scarfs, went caroling to neighbors (Ron & Victoria Gindick & Glen & Barbara Huish) & to Bonnie working at Bashas and ate lots of pizza & doughnuts. It's always a super fun time together.
This was the picture I used for our Christmas card. We took the pictures at a park right by our house.
Haley turned 13! We have another teenager in the house. We took Haley to Texas Roadhouse where they have you ride a saddle and sing to you. Her birthday was on a Sunday so we had her go through the spanking line at Nana's.
Love this picture... My youngest and my oldest enjoying some milk & cookies. I love that Tyson is using the Dora cup, not Nellie. 
Haley tried out for cheer at CTJH (Chandler Traditional Junior High) and made it. She was so nervous. They have been cheering for the 7th and 8th grade boys basketball teams. I think she is really good. I love going to watch her cheer. The uniforms they wear are hammy downs from Chandler High school cheer. They brought back a lot of memories for Scott & I because we both graduated from that school. They are suppossed to get their own new uniforms soon.
What a beautiful sunset we had tonight. The weather has finally cooled down to feel like winter. 65 degrees during the day. I love it!!!
She was excited to find a dollar under the pillow the next morning. I am so glad the tooth fairy remembered. Nellie kept going to the bathroom mirror to look at the hole where her tooth was. It was cute.
Ellen (Chad's mom) bought all the food and I came up with some fun games. One game we did was dress the Mummy. The girls were all given one roll of toilet paper and tried to make the best mummy out of the boys. We carved pumpkins and did a few other games. I thought the party turned out great.
Our ward did a Trunk or Treat this year. A lot of people came. It was lots of fun. They served Hamburgers & Hot Dogs for dinner. Courtney was a jailbird and Sean was her Sheriff. Kristen was Mrs. Potato Head. Haley was Astrid from How to train your dragon. Nellie was Kai Lan. Sydney was working at the fair.
I am officially fired from carving pumpkins. haha. I tried to carve Nellie's into a Kia Lan. Didn't work, so it ended up being a big heart. As you can see in the picture she was happy with the heart. Nellie is my Love Bug. It was funny when Nellie started getting the seeds out, she was so excited then about the third time she put her hand in she started gagging. We always enjoy carving pumpkins together. In Arizona you can't carve them too early or they will be moldy & saggy on Halloween.
We celebrated Tyson's birthday by going to Los Favoritos for dinner then came home for cake & ice cream. Tyson's girlfriend Christina joined us. She is brave. haha.

We made homemade pizza tonight and the kids loved it. I used to make it more often and would just make 2 big pizzas. This time I made little ones and the girls fixed up their own piece. I even made a heart one, too bad I over cooked it. They turned out yummy.
We got hit by another big storm in Arizona. We don't get rain very often so when we do, we love it. I love the sound of rain & thunder. This storm split my favorite rose tree in half. I was driving home and saw part of it in the road thinking it was someones tree. I was sad when I saw the yellow roses on it. But look at all the rain we got. Fun!
I made her some icecream cake for her birthday. I messed up and bought fat free ice cream. Dang it. I didn't even realize I had done it until we started eating them. They are a pain to make too. Next time I will be sure to read the container of ice cream. :)
