So by some miracle there was one on craigslist and we got it. I don't think they even sell them in stores or if they do its 3 times as much as we paid for it. I am brushing like 5 Rapunzel's hair all the time. Grandma and Papa Chappell gave her the baby one she is holding. Carli wears her nightgown almost everyday:)

Emily made these snowflakes for our wedding and we did some this year. They are 2 feet big and 3D. I got on a tall ladder and put them up. I was like 15 feet in the air. They take like 6 pieces of white paper and you put them together.

Eric loves his Christmas 45s and we all love dancing to the juke box.

Monday we got our real traditional tree. I love the smell. The kids put up their ornaments for FHE. We have so many we didn't put up Eric or mine. I have ones from all the years when I was little. I love this tradition because when the kids grow up they can take their ornaments with them!

Carli loves Cassie's barbie ones:)

I love my animated Mickey and Minnie. I have had these decorations for over 14 years now. The snowglobe is Ariel and Carli loves it!

My reindeer Callie:)

This is Peaches 1st Christmas with us. She was just laying on my lap and so we put a bow on her. We have had her for a year now:) She is so good!!

Muppets from Intel!

2011-12-01T06:29:00.000-08:00

Intel is awesome! They always pay for family events and do drawings for shows. We have won like 4 times now! Intel rented out Harkins on Sat morning and we got to see the Muppets moving and they took pictures and had crafts. Radio Disney hosted it! The movie was awesome. Eric showed up on his break but then had to go back to work. We left Callie with Ashley so we could enjoy the movie. Carli did great!

I use to have Miss Piggy sheets in the 80's. It was a cute movie!!

Carli is pointing the the Tangle: Rapunzel and can't wait until Santa brings it to her. She has gone through 3 adds now and carried it everywhere. It is like she thinks Christmas is tomorrow. It is so cute to have Christmas this year when Carli gets so excited!! She also wanted the mermaid barbie doll:)

Chandler Center for arts where we saw Star Trek Live.

Eric won 4 tickets from his work and so we had fun going to this Star Trek Drama. They had TV screen of the last Star Trek movie and played out like it was really happening and used kids from the audience.

We will miss you Wally Macias!

2011-11-21T17:00:00.000-08:00

Cami and Wally were my friends from Mesa High School. I grew up and danced with Cami on Bunnies and Taylor Pom. I even named my daughter after her. They dated in high school and got married and have 2 children. Cami is glad they are sealed together forever because Wally passed away so soon. Our prayers are with their family! Wally was a great guy!!

Our Thankful Tree!

2011-11-21T13:06:00.000-08:00

For FHE we traced our hands and wrote the things we were thankful for. I will hang it up every year. It will be fun to see Callie and Carli's little hands.

My Turkeys!

2011-11-15T14:21:00.000-08:00

Carli and Callie's old VT Hokie shirts were Cami and Cassie's old ones. Cami and Cassie are wearing their VT Hokie- Turkey shirts! My 4 girls are my turkeys. Carli is so fun making the Turkey sound! Callie doesn't say that many words but makes animal sounds which is so cute. She just started kissing Carli and it is so cute!

These are Carli's old gold shoes that I love. It is fun having Callie wear all of Carli's old clothes.

Cami's Cookie Sales!

2011-11-14T16:10:00.000-08:00

Cami was so awesome at selling cookie dough for her school. She went out to our neighbors by herself and sold 18 boxes to get this Justin Bieber stand up poster. It is a foot and a half taller then her. Way to go Cami!

Carli's Preschool and the letter I!

2011-11-04T14:33:00.000-07:00

I is for Indians! We made headbands and teepees. We talked about Thanksgiving and how Cami and Cassie- Carli's older sisters are real Indians and belong to the Umpqua Indian Tribe in Oregon. Jackson was sick and we missed him this week.

I is for Ice and Ice cream. We have Hershey and Australian(island) shaped ice cubes. They loved the Ice Cream cones!

I is for Instruments. we watched an awesome Baby Einstein moving which showed all the band and orchestra instruments. I told them that I play the violin and I found this real cute violin at a garage sell and it just their size. We played musical instruments and sang songs.

They got to take home Instruments and insects and flashcards.

I is for Insects. I hid the toy insects in the backyard and they hunted for them. Mackay brought real dead insects like this beetle and scorpions.

We ending up playing at Harmony park right after and it was fun. The weather is finally getting cool.

Our prayers are with you!

Can I have one day of peace:)

2011-10-27T12:22:00.000-07:00

I was so mad at first because for 2 mins they were in the bathroom. I didn't know that Carli could do the safety lock to get to the red lipstick! I had to laugh when I saw her lips were perfect. She put some on her hands and her sisters to make hand prints on the door. She colored her polly pocket and my rug. I guess she will be an artist like Cami. This is the one day I can have peace and wow! Luckily oxyclean has helped with my clothes and the rug!

See the lipstick on the animals:)

Who knew she could do this in 2 mins when I was in the next room just 3 feet away. She is a sneaky one!

OK- I have to admit I did get my peace after this craziness when they both took naps at the same time!!!
