Radio City Rockettes

Today my family had a girls day and went to see the Radio City Rockettes. All the girls in my family came, except the babies. Soon they will be big enough to come too.
Some of us went to lunch at Chili's before the show. Yummy! I always love their food. We then met the others at the Maverick Center. It was my mom, Stacie, Suzie, my nieces- Angelina, Sabriya, Olivia, Anna and myself. It was a wonderful show. I have always wanted to see them. I am so excited that they had a touring company that came to Salt Lake City this year. What a festive and wonderful way to start the holiday season!

Sitters, Megamind and Snow

Today is the day that I can say both of my girls are official sitters. Yahoo! Emrie has pretty much been sitting since October 30 and she is just getting more and more stable. Eva sat today for quite a while. She wasn't sitting before because she is so wiggly and wouldn't stop moving her legs. Today she actually kept them still and sat so good. I have always said that I think it will be easier to have twins when they can sit, play with toys and entertain each other. I am getting really close to that step.
Cute little sitters!
On Sunday, we took Lucas to go see Megamind. Thanks to McDonalds Happy Meals, he had been asking us about the movie for a long time. I figured since we didn't know anything about it, we should probably go. Ron looked up the movie time and accidentally found us the 3-D movie. I was worried. I thought Lucas would have a hard time with the glasses, but he did awesome. I am not sure what kind of faces he was pulling in each of these pictures. ;) Thanks to Shawn and Suzie for watching the girls!
That same day, we woke up to this. I was really surprised that there was so much snow, considering that it was the first snow fall of the season. Tonight there is a blizzard warning and it is supposed to dump inches and inches on us. I think that I will stay inside and cozy up with my slippers and some hot chocolate!

Jungle Jim's Playland

Last Friday, we went to Jungle Jim's Playland for the first time. We went for Riley's birthday party. He is a little friend from playgroup.
Lucas had a blast riding all the rides. We ate yummy pizza and Riley's mom, Sandi, made a delicious cake for the occasion.
The girls had so much fun taking in all the colors and noises of the rides. Emrie got a little scared of the roller coaster. It was really loud. They got so exhausted that they took a nap while we ate lunch. I can't wait until they get big enough to start doing fun things like this.

Real Life Pizza Planet

Last Tuesday night, Ron and I took Lucas on a date night to Incredible Pizza. That place is so much fun! Lucas is so cute, he calls it Pizza Planet. What a smart little guy to see the similarities between the two. (If you know anything about Toy Story, then you know Pizza Planet.)
We had so much fun riding the Go-Karts, Mini Bowling, playing fun arcade games, letting Lucas ride the small rides and eating the yummy buffet.
I think it's important for Lucas to have Mommy and Daddy time without the girls. He really enjoyed the evening. We can't wait for our next little date.

Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the babies.

Too Young to Date?

My cousin Courtney is a nanny for this cute little girl named Ally. She is 3. We decided to set Lucas and Ally up on a date. A play date that is! We met at the Living Planet Aquarium yesterday.
The kids got along really well and had so much fun. The babies also loved the aquarium. They hung out in their stroller and looked around. One of my favorite exhibits was the penguins. I could sit and watch them all day. After the aquarium, we went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. I always love eating there. Yum! I especially love that they have the peppermint chocolate chip shake for the holidays. If you haven't tried it, I strongly suggest it.
Eva decided that she wanted to try and feed herself. She stole the spoon from me and was doing it herself. She loved it and actually did a pretty good job.
Emrie is always smiling. She even likes to smile when her mouth is full of green beans and rice cereal.

Congratulations Damon and Sarah

Last Wednesday on November 10, my nephew, Damon, got married to his cute girlfriend, Sarah.
The newly married couple.
It was a wonderful day. We started out waiting outside the temple for them to be married. We hung out for pictures. After that, my sister and brother-in-law hosted a yummy luncheon at The Athenian restaurant. The food was delicious! We had either cheese stuffed chicken or chicken kabobs with a salad, lemon rice and pita bread. The dessert was baklava.

Their reception was at the Davis Conference Center in Layton. It was beautiful. I am SO mad at myself for not getting a picture of my little family in our change of clothes. We all looked adorable and matched the wedding. I am hoping to get a copy from someone else that might have gotten our picture. When I do, I will post it.

Damon and Sarah were so cute and loving. They were so happy to be married and just kept hugging each other and kissing. I am so happy for them to start their life long journey together!

Out of Pocket already fulfilled? Whew!

We spent the evening in the ER tonight. I was hoping that I wouldn't ever have to go there for this reason. While I was in the kitchen feeding the babies, Lucas came in. He had his fingers in his mouth and had throw up on his shirt. I asked what was wrong. He told me that he had a penny in his mouth and now it was in his throat. We had just been working on what coins are what type this week. So I knew that he was for sure it was a penny. We hurried to the ER at IMC.Here he is in comfy clothes waiting for the Dr to come in.
Here are the pictures from the x-ray. As soon as the x-ray tech took the first picture, he said, "Yep, there it is!"

Luckily it is not stuck in his esophagus and is now in his stomach. The Dr informed us that he will eventually pass it. Yucky!
