A LONG recap of our last 2 weeks...

Where do I even begin?! I guess right from the beginning...
The day Wall-E came out we were at Wal-Mart at 8:45 to get our copy!! Here is the Happy Wall-E owner in the car after we got it! I took this with my cell phone, so not the best picture, but the expression on his face says it all!!

I don't know how many times we've watched it!! We're watching it right now as I do this entry!!

Next, Brian, Kernan and I were off to Salt Lake to watch Carrie Underwood LIVE in concert... We went out to dinner with Jessica Whitaker who was a missionary in our ward in AZ. It was fun to see her and meet her family!
Carrie was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! I've seen a lot of country performers live but she was by far the best! She sounds better live then on her CD!! Amazing, we will defiantly be going to see her again and again!! No pictures though.. They don't allow professional cameras into concerts! Oh well, she was awesome!!
Then it was onto Arizona!! We were all so excited to go see everyone!

We pulled up at around 9ish on Friday night and my brother had my car all parked cute in the driveway! I was so excited to see it! And so far I LOVE IT!! I knew I would though!! :)

On Saturday morning Christtina and I went and saw Twilight. I thought it was good but the book was of course better!! A few parts weren't what I pictured in my head, but still good nonetheless!

While we were at the movie Brian was in charge of the boys at home, here they are going for a ride on the quad! Trevor wanted his Mom the entire time we were gone, notice the sad face!! Also, the other two are all decked out in their University of Utah stuff for the big game that night! In which Utah stomped BYU!! Utah is 12-0 undefeated!! Go Utes!!

On Sunday we went to Brian's parents house for dinner! His cousin Amber was in town and we hadn't gotten to meet her little girl Madi. She is a doll! Brian's other cousin Andy came over with her little girl who is a day older then Amber's. It was fun to see everyone! We got a picture of all the little cousins that were there... I didn't take one, I snagged this from Amber's blog.. :)

On Tuesday Christtina and I went out together, first it was to her doctor's appointment to hear the baby's heartbeat. Then we asked if they could squeeze her in to get an ultrasound and possibly find out what she was having... She was only a little over 15 weeks so they said not to get our hopes up but they would try... So we went in and it was obvious!! Her and Phil are having another boy!! During the ultrasound he gave us all a high five... That was Maci's favorite picture!! :)

Now... What's his name?!? Just kidding Chris!!
We then went to Last Chance where we were both very disapointed! Not much there!

That night my family went out to watch Jaxin's volleyball game... She did good! They lost but hey, that's why you practice!! :)

Wednesday, the girls and Kernan headed to Arizona Mills for a day of shopping! Kernan got tuckered out and fell asleep, while he was asleep I went into the disney store where they had SO many Wall-E toys!! I got him this stuffed Wall-E and he had a good nap on him!! :)

Thanksgiving morning we headed out to Babyland to decorate Broc's christmas tree for him.

Then it was back to my parent's for good food and off to Brian's parents for some desert... I didn't take any pictures... How sad!!

Friday we all headed to Arrowhead to get our annual cousin's Santa picture.

Brian and Maci drove home on Sunday so that Maci could get back to school and Brian had some work up here to do... Kernan and I stayed to wait for an extra key for my car that we bought off eBay. We actually didn't get home until Thursday afternoon...

So Monday, Mom, Christtina, the boys and I headed out to Anthem... I love that place!! Christtina wanted to take Trevor to see Santa, I told her that because I didn't have my camera with me Kernan was going to like him... Which I was right, thankfully Chris took some pictures so I snagged them off her blog!
Trevor loved Santa! He ran right to him and Santa put him on his lap, it was the cutest thing!!
Photobucket

So I guess because Trevor liked him Kernan thought he was ok as well... When we first went into Santa's house Kernan didn't want me to even unbuckle him out of his stoller but I did anyway! Then he wanted his blanket and had to take it to sit on Santa's lap with him. He was rubbing his tag the entire time! But he sat on his lap!!
Photobucket

Even without Trevor!! He had to make sure I was still right there though! I'm so glad Christtina got these pictures!!

Tuesday I had a photoshoot, this was the sunset as we were wrapping up!! So pretty!

I also went over to Jason and Natalie's house Tuesday night to get one last fill of them and their kids!! When we went and saw them for the first time that first Saturday we got there, Kolsen and Kernan ran and gave each other the biggest hug ever!! It was the sweetest thing, I wished I had my camera but instead I was holding Callie! :) On Tuesday, Kolsen and Kernan were dancing to their snowman in the front entryway, they were so funny!! Natalie has video that she'll put up on her blog!! Here is a picture of those two about to get their "groove" on...

And Kernan was being so sweet with Callie, here he is sharing his toy with her.

My key finally made it on Wednesday, so I took it to the dealership to have it cut and programmed and Kernan and I headed home on Thursday morning! It was such a fun trip, weird being the out of town company!! But still fun! My parents will be up here next weekend for Logan's farewell and then we'll be back down there the next weekend for Christmas!! I'm looking forward to it!!
We're decorating for Christmas today and then going to watch a character parade on Main St this afternoon and after the parade we're going up the mountain to cut down a REAL Christmas tree!! Ya!! So exciting!! I'm sure I'll have pictures to post of all that really soon!!

That picture of Kernan holding his movie is priceless... Poor little Trevor!! LOL. It's sad but cute. I love your cousins Christmas picture..

hahahha, the picture of the boys on the quad was priceless. I couldn't stop laughing. Email that to me. I'm glad you did a huge post of the week. The Santa picture of all the cousins turned out good. I was thinking about your cousin and his mission yesterday at church. I would be so scared to go all the way over there, not speaking the same language, and certainly not eating the same food. I hope he does well and has a wonderful time.
