Curly Q...
I bought a new curling iron and LOVE it! Its the one where you wrap the hair around the funnel! Its the BEST!! I can curl each girls head of hair in 25 mins or less, and when you have 3 girls, oh man that is WONDERFUL!!! So now I dont dread having to curl their hair. Funny story....both E and ES would lock their knees while I was curling their hair and they almost passed out(k...maybe not that funny). They said they didnt feel good all the sudden and got all pale and sweaty. Note to self...sitting while getting hair curled is a must! Live and learn...

Man..how would it be to be 7 and be this pretty!? When I was 7...yah....not so much!
Just one of the little people in my life that make me sooo happy! This girl is me in so many ways...
One way is big eyes! Kirk calls us his big eyed girls! She loves this and reminds me often!

"Who" dat....

We had our ward family Christmas party last weekend! All I have to say is wow!! It was so fun and so well done! Kirks Aunt was in charge and her and her helpers sure out did themselves. It was a Whoville theme. Our cultural hall never looked so good! So fun!! Everyone came dressed up like a Who. Except Kirk. His Aunt asked him if he would be the Grinch. My hubby being the nice guy/good sport that he is, went way out of his comfort zone and said yes! He did a great job too! They did a little program and he sang the Grinch song!

His sister Angelle came over and made him all green! Fake eyebrows and everything.... Thats like the worst, most brightest wig ever!!!
Gel even did E's hair. She put a hanger in it and braided around it! Shes a genius!!
Love this family in our ward!! The most adorable kids! I just want to eat them up...so mushy!! Most of the little kids were afraid of Kirk.
In character. Thats his wonderful/talented/creative Aunt!
Ooops....he broke character! Didnt know the Grinch liked to give kisses!?

Cute Who kids!
Couldnt help but laugh a little when I looked at Kirk! He looks different green!

Oh Christmas tree...

We had a night where we were all home! Cant tell you how hard that is lately! No meetings, no working late, kids had nothing...so we put up our tree! Kids had been on us(me really) to do it! On like the 1st day of Dec AT says to me...I cant believe we dont have our Christmas stuff up! Im all dude, its only Dec 1st...cut me some slack! So the next day I put the lights on the house and got all the decorations out. While we were putting the tree up AT says out loud...its about time we got in the Christmas spirit! We got the spirit now!!!Its wicked hard to get the ribbon distributed evenly...
This girl cant take a normal picture.




Taken a break..
Ta daaaa!!!

Talk to the hand....

Yes, that is a severed hand(its fake no worries....haha) This hand belongs to my good funny friend Melanie! I went to a weight lifting class last week and when I came home, I found the hand on my porch sticking out from the mat! Oh Melanie....haha! Love it! I told her thanks for giving me a hand that morning..haha!! So since Im all about being silly, we have had fun with the hand this week! I put in on Kirks side of the bed under his covers. Totally got him, but couldnt enjoy it cause I fell asleep...lame! I put it in his lunch bag. He put it in my cabinet in the bathroom. I put it in the fridge. He put it in the snack cupboard. The kids have put it everywhere. Got me a few times! As you can see...good times!! Anyhoo....cant take life too seriously right? Gotta have some fun!Just some pics messing around with the hand...


My thinking face. Hope I really dont look like this when I think...
Ahhh!!! Theres a hand on my shoulder!!
I like AT's expression better..
Yah....you knew this was coming! Are you really surprised?

What can you do in 24 hours..?

How about a road trip and an NFL game!?
A friend I know through Stef had tickets she needed to be used to the Broncos game on Thanksgiving Day. The Broncos are my fav so of course I was interested, but didnt know if I could pull it off being Thanksgiving and all. So did!! I have the best family in the world and they were all cool with it! Woo hoo! So it was me and Kirk and we invited my nephew JC to go and still had one more ticket so my brother in law Ruston(who has the coolest wife ever) wanted to come with. Kirk wanted to be back for his families T-day dinner the next day, so it was a quick trip. We left Thursday moring at 6am and got back Friday morning a little after 6am. Did it all in 24 hours! Woo wee!! Didnt get much sleep, but it was so worth it! That the Broncos won and broke their 4 game losing streak was the icing on the cake!! Go Bronocs!!! So much fun!! So gonna do that again!!! Thanks Anna!!!

We were watching Star Trek and JC had to explain a confusing part to me. 1- It was my first time seeing it, and B- It was way to early in the morning! JC's happy Im not confused anymore! Good movie!
Streching the legs....
Road trip buddies...Me, Kirk and too cool JC in the background.
Me and Ruston. I only distracted him from driving for a second...
Bored. Forgot palying cards! Who forgets playing cards on a road trip!? So we had a stare down..
Hes 15. Need I say more....
Looks painful!
Got freshened up(just me really) and got our tickets from my friend. Getting something to eat before the game. Hard Rock was pretty busy. Guess everyone goes there before a Broncos game. Lots of Gaint fans there too!

JC and I messing around waiting to eat.
Still waiting...
We're in...
After the 2 1/2 mile walk(seriously)...we finally made it to the Stadium! So exciting!! It is huge!! Can seat 75,000 people! Night started out pretty warm, but by the end it was cold!
Waiting for the game to start! Woo hoo!!!
Bronco Cheerleaders. The men I was with favorite part....typical!

Ruston wasnt to happy having his Cheerleader watching interrupted...haha! ;)
Wanted one with the field behind me...

Bronco head caoch Josh McDaniels in the orange shirt in the middle there... Hes just a little guy compared to those big football players.
Giants taking the field. Boo!!

Broncos taking the field...YAY!!!

Coin toss.
Bronco sideline. Does there really need to be that many people there?
Kick off!
Broncos first possession....I think?



All of us! The guy behind me standing with the orange hat...hes my new friend. High fiving me and everything. Even hailed the hot chocolate guy for me who kept ignoring me. Had a nice wad of chew in his mouth most of the time. Yah...thats attractive! Even more attactive was him spitting it into a bottle...gross! Kiss your mother with that mouth! Haha....movie?


When we got to Denver we stopped at Kirks cousins house to drop something off and chill for a bit. So to pass the time, Ruston decided to bench press me. Takes total trust from the bench press...ee of the presser...The ugly noise you hear in the video, yah...that would be me!

Mind the gap...

So I forgot to take a before pic, but heres the after...or almost after widening this kids pallet! We have 12 more days(=24 times) of widening to go. He had no gap when we started 2 weeks ago! This thing really does its job. Totally changing the look of his face too!Went to the ortho yesterday and got this fun little contraption! Yes....its a head gear, but called a face mask now. I am so thankful they dont look like they used to anymore! Though still looks like something from Silence of the Lambs! He has to wear this everyday for 12 hours for 6 months. SHEESH!!!! He only wears it at night thank goodness! Puts it on after dinner and takes it off when he wakes up. He is still being a really good sport about it! Its me that has a hard time. I feel so bad for my boy having to do all this! It is for the best though...

The workin man....

Kirk doesnt have the kind of job(hes a dental technician) where when it hits a certain time he gets to go home. He leaves at 7am every morning, and has no idea when he will be home. I call him everyday at 5 oclock( have done this for almost 13 years now) to see what his ETA is, and 90% of the time his reply is....not sure...its going to be a while. Im so not a fan of that answer!!! So since he works so long, he doesnt get to go with us to a lot of things and isnt in a lot of the pictures and I just wanted to get one on here of him to say yes....my husband does exsist!!! Thanks for working so long and hard for us!!
