Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum

This past Christmas my mom and dad gave us all City Passes.  They allow us to do a bunch of stuff around Salt Lake for FREE.  Yesterday we decided to go to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point.  The kids had a lot of fun running around looking at everything and playing with everything.  After we were done we headed next door for some ice cream cones.  We are looking forward to doing a lot of fun things with our City Passes!

Super Bowl 2011

A few weeks ago we celebrated the Super Bowl.  Dan happened to be in St George that weekend so he missed all the fun.  I wish he could have been there with us.  We decided this year that we would root for Green Bay.  We had all the kids make up some shirts and had a lot of great food including a nacho bar, brawts, and Amber's yummy funeral potatoes. 

All the silly kids

Funny Hannah

Sometimes I don't know what to blog about when I feel like nothing overly exciting is going on.  Dan is currently in St George for the next few weeks so that means extra mommy and girls time, and we are also getting ready to have a fun party for the Super Bowl this coming weekend.  We are rooting for Green Bay (because, no one REALLY wants to root for the Steelers) so the party will be full of cheese and fun.  I'll get some pictures of that up afterwards.  Not much else is going on right now so I guess I'll just let you hear about a few of the funny things Hannah has said lately.



Me:  Hannah, we really need to clean moms car.

Hannah:  Why?

Me:  Because it's filthily and that is embarrassing to me.

Hannah:  It's ok mommy, everyone already knows your car is filthy.


and . . .


Hannah:  Mom I had the weirdest dream last night!

Me:  You did

Hannah:  Yes it was back back baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack in the 70's!



So there you have it!  My girls are always making me laugh over here.

Oh, and on a side note, I've been doing a bit of microblogging of the day to day stuff on Tumblr.  You can find my page HERE if you are bored.  HAHA!

Happy Christmas!

We had a great time this Christmas. We spend a lot of fun times with family and friends. The only bad part is that our poor little Hannah spent four days straight being sick. She was even so sick on Christmas morning that she really didn't care at all for her presents. It was really sad to see. I'm very glad that she has finally gotten better and she is her silly smiling self again.

On Christmas eve we went to visit Dan's family at his sister's house.  Little Hannah was pretty sick that morning so we weren't sure if we would make it or not, but she started feeling better so we were glad to be able to make it. 

Someone squashed the cupcakes in the car on the way to their house.  I won't say who it was, but I will say that me and cupcakes don't get along.

Emma and Hannah took my camera for a while and took some silly pictures

Hannah told me to pose with her bear and close my eyes.  She then accidentally put her little finger over the flash and made me look all red.  Too cute!

Hannah had to chase Emma to get her picture

Little Andrew was being cute

Then we acted out the nativity.  Hannah was an angel.

Emma was a shepard

I think Dan was a wiseman.  He was trying to look ridiculous in this pic.

The we opened presents.  We were all excited with what we got.

Hannah and Sydnee playing with their playdoh

When we got home they got to open their Christmas jammies

Then they each got to open one thing they got for each other.  The both got the other one a singamajig.

On Christmas day Hannah was still pretty sick.  The picture with the stuffed animals was about the happiest she got opening presents.  The rest of the time she stayed on my lap as I opened her presents for her.  After presents we headed down to my moms for breakfast and presents. 

One of the things I got Dan for Christmas was I finally changed my name.  Yep, after 9+ years for marriage you can officially call me Mrs Angela Taylor Hastings.  (I never had a middle name so now Taylor is my new official middle name)  Or you can still call me Angie, I probably wouldn't answer to Angela anyway.  

Hannah tried to be happy

My two cute girls.  They got a couple of tutu's for Christmas and they never want to take them off.

Hannah got this makeup kit.  She LOVES it!
