Christmas Eve

Well I am way excited for Christmas eve, Brant's brother Tevin thought it would be cool if some of the boys sang Silent Night for the Christmas Eve party at Grandma Sautter's in all the different languages that they know. Blair in Japanese. Tevin in German, Brant in Tagalog, and Aaron in Spanish. They will each take a turn by themselves and then the last verse they will sing together in all the languages. So last night we went over to Brant's mom and dad's for them to practice and they sounded awesome. It was really neat to listen to all the different languages singing that song. So I took my camera and took some pics while they were practicing. Tevin goes first then blair then brant and then aaron. Anyway we are very excitied for Christmas and my kids are so off the wall crazy about Santa coming in three days. It will be really fun this year all of our kids are at that age that it will be really fun to watch them open presents.

LOVE THE HOLIDAYS

Well last night for family home evening we decided to make gingerbread houses. The kids were way excited to make them and eat the candy. Brant and I decided to make the houses for the kids and then let them decorate them how they wanted too. Brant let the boys just share one so Isaac had the marshmellow side of the house and Hunter chose the chocolate chip side for his. I helped Laney get started and then let her do whatever she wanted. To say the least there was frosting everywhere but we had a great time. My mom and sisters April and Katelyn came along with my niece Lily, Grandpa had to study for a final so he couldn't make it. Brant and I made ours later and Brant stayed up until 11:00 making his and he said he still isn't done with it. That makes me laugh. Anyway we are having fun enjoying the holidays. We also decided this year to get a present for someone in need. Our ward has an angel tree so we decided to take an ornament and get a gift for a teenage girl. That has made this Christmas season much more enjoyable and really feel the true meaning of Christmas. I read the book "The Message", and I just feel like that had made me really be grateful for all that we have and instead of feeling sorry for myself I am trying to do better at serving and thinking of others this season.

Well we all had a great Thanksgiving and we are super excited for Christmas to come. Today we took our family Christmas picture today and they turned out pretty good for having four kids and a dog in one picture. Anyway we hope that you like the picture and hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

BYU Game weekend

Well we had a great weekend with Brants family. All the adults went to the BYU vs. Airforce game on saturday. It was little cold but I think we all survived. On the way there the three biggest guys had to sit in the back seat of Aaron and Candace's van, lets just say they were all very close and personal with each other which was hillarious to listen to them saying they were hot or they were right next to each other. We had a great time driving down in the same car and laughing and some pretty interesting stories. Then after the game we celebrated Hillary's birthday and ate at the olive garden. The game was really good and they WON!!!! We got home pretty late but it was worth being able to go and enjoy are time together as adults.

WOW!!!!

WOW!!! That is all I have to say about last night. Not really girls night out was a blast. My sisters, mom and I decided to go to the theatre at 5:30. When we got there the line was almost around the corner. We found out that the theatre was showing Twilight at 9:15 and we could stay in that seat for new moon for 5 dollars more. So we decided to do it and was able to go in at 7:15. We only had to stay out in the cold for a couple hours.


I LOVED JACOB he was amazing and I was so into his character. When I read the book I didn't like him at all, lets just say I loved him. I still am team Edward all the way but I still really liked this movie. I still can't believe the way it ended. I am so ready for June to be here so I can see Eclipes. Its funny we know how it ends in the books but the way the movie ended just made me want more. I LOVED IT. I have to go see it again. Totally worth standing out in the cold and getting home at 3:30.

NEW MOON

I am so excited for this weekend to be here. NEW MOON !!!! My sisters and I have had the tickets since about july or August whenever you could first buy them and got the midnight showing I am so excited. My mom is not really into but we are dragging her into it anyway. I can't believe it is already here we have been anticipating it for so long. I can't decide if I should hurry and read the book again before I go see the movie or just go and enjoy it. I am sure I could read it in time for the movie but we will see. Well girls lets get ready we are going to party!!!!!!

On Sunday Brant and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversay. I can't believe it has already been six years. We have had a pretty good six years and I can't wait for even more. We went out on Saturday to the Olive Garden while Brant parents watched the kids. We had a great time, but it was a little weird for us to have no kids asking us to go to the bathroom, or have a bite of our food, climbing on us. To say the least it was pretty quite. Then we came home and watched GI Joe. We had a great time. Thanks honey for a great six years.

WoW 6 years...

Well I was so excited to get all the kids dressed up for Halloween all the kids knew exactly what they wanted to be this year and they were so excited. we went to the trunk or treat at the school and then went to grandmas and grandpas houses and had a great time. all the kids got tons of candy of course and wanted to eat it all before we got home. Maya kept asking for a treat it was so cute. But by the end of the night they were wiped out and ready for bed and so was mom and dad. We had a great halloween and can't wait for Thanksgiving.

Well I am finally taking the time to update our blog. Once school started we just got busy doing the school thing. Anyway it is Laney's second year of Pre-school at Mrs. Longs Little Chicks pre-school and of course Laney is loving it and doing a great job. The boys well they are boys what can I say they keep me on my toes. We are trying a new discipline technique with them and I think it is working. They are doing alot better then they were doing. I think twins feed off of each other and try to test me as much as they can. Maya is now 18 months old and will be going in to nursery Brant and I can't wait. We teach Laney's primary class so we have had to bring her with us and the class tends to watch and listen to her instead of us. I think she will have a hard time but her brothers will be in there with her so she should do okay I hope. Well Halloween is coming fast. Last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch where the kids could ride a train and pick out a pumpkin and go through a straw maze they had a great time. We went to my mom and dad's after and carved them. It our little tradition that we do is carve them all at my mom and dad's house. We are loving the fall weather at our house we have been still doing yard work. I think we will do hard work until we are shoveling snow. Anyway we can't wait for the holidays I love this time of year is just reminds me of all the things I am thankful for. My sweet hard working husband and my four healthy beautiful children. I am also thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween.
