Here are a few pics of the kiddos Christmas programs at school. Taylor is so much fun to watch at these types of things. She just gets into a groove, and literally rocks out to the beat of the music. Music and art are definitely her "thing". She loves them both. Cole....well, not so much. He despises music this year. He was a trooper and sang his whole 2 songs with enthusiasm. Gotta love 9 year olds. Sorry the picture quality isn't very good. Something about those dark auditoriums.
This year, Taylor has joined a Daisy Scout troop with some girls from school. The funniest part of it all, I am the co-leader. She has really enjoyed it, and loves knowing that she gets to sell Girl Scout Cookies.....get ready, we will be hitting you up in January. The girls have already earned all their Daisy patches, and are working their way through the Girl Scout Journey guide. We only meet 2 times a month but it is always a lot of fun. On December 3rd, Taylor, her friend Ella, Erin (Ella's mom and our troop leader) and I went to a Holiday Mini Camp at Trefoil Ranch. It was a lot of fun, and Taylor & Ella loved that we got to stay the night. They did lots of fun holiday crafts, and learned a lot of new games. It was great to get to spend that time with Taylor. I feel like I rarely get one on one time with her, and she is always so good about getting carted around to all of Cole's soccer stuff. She is always such a little trooper. Thanks Taylor for sharing Girl Scouts with me...there are many more camps to come. Also, sorry for the TON of pictures....it was just a really fun day with lots of cute pics. I just love how Ella & Taylor are the best of friends. and I think that the pictures at camp show how much they love each other. If you look close, you will see that they even have their hair the same.....we call them the "Bobsie twins". Such sweet girls!!!
Oh the many perks of having your in laws work for Real Salt Lake. Since RSL won the MLS Cup Final, the organization put together a champions V.I.P. dinner for staff, family and friends in the Hundred Lions Club at Rio Tinto Stadium. If my kiddos only knew how lucky they were....this was a "invite only" event, and my in laws chose to take the kids. I wish I could explain how amazing it is when the players actually know your kids names and take the time to carry on conversations with them. I can't even begin to tell you how my heart melts when I see Taylor chatting with Kyle, or Cole carrying on a conversation with Nick Rimando. It just shows what class acts they are.

I can't believe I am just now posting about our oh so eventful Halloween Festivities. I seriously am so over the holidays by the time they get here, that I can't even bring myself to post about them. I guess that comes with having kids in Elementary School, and myself working & volunteering at the school all the time. It just seems to drag out forever!! Oh well here goes the pics....not much commentary!!!
You see it right....Cole was a Hooters Waitress!! He made for one hot chick!!
Taylor was the most beautiful Dorothy in all of Oz!!!
