Here is some Merry Christmas Cheer to brighten up your work day or for those facing nasty finals. Notice Brielle laying down in the background, she didn't feel like participating. Enjoy!

Frosty the Snowman

Aha! I figured it out. Bryce would be so proud of me for being what he calls, "a problem solver". Teigan is the cute one shaking her booty. (the very best booty shaker I might add) Everyone should know where she gets those fine booty skills....... No, not from Bryce!!!!

Wait,...Should I actually be happy about her being a good booty shaker?

I also realized that there is no video of Brielle Baby. Although she is definitely not a baby anymore she is very cute and very film worthy. I will work on that. Oh the poor second child. Merry Christmas!

To whom it may concern: I have tried numerous times to update this blog but without success. I apologize for all those that are waiting for news. So here it is finally after figuring a few things out on this blog thing.
We are having a great Christmas season so far. We are pretty much done with our shopping and so now we are simply enjoying the parties and the spirit of the season. Teigan has performed in two dance recitals presented at the Festival of Trees. Her dance costume is Frosty the Snowman. If I can I will post it, but it is too long. How do I shorten the film???
Also, Brielle has started coming to school with me. She is now my student. It is awkward to be both Mother and Teacher simultaneously. She is very bright though and can keep up with the older kids. Teigan attends at the same time but is in another class. I get to teach her during music because it is combined. The only downside is that Teigan calls me Crystal at home now. We have a good time at school because it is a break from home.
Bryce just took part one of the HUGE CFA exams. It was a killer. We don't know until February if he passes. He is very busy with school and work and being the fun dad.
We all look forward to a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Time just flies doesn't it?

Remember, remember the fifth of November!
It's snowing! We have about six inches and it is still coming down hard.

The kids woke up and were so excited. They asked me if it was Christmas. There is just something real spiritual in the air when it snows. Everything is so quiet and clean. Happy snowday!

Congratulations to all those Obama supporters. Bryce and I are so excited, we finally feel like our vote counted (almost). It was a long two,well, eight years. What an amazing time to be alive and be apart of history! It was also great to see the amendment pass in California. It's so vital to protect our precious families.

Witches!

We are a family of witches this year. Teigan says even Dad is a "daddy witch" too. We'll see if he actually dresses up for that one.

This is Halloween!

This is Teigan's school Halloween program. It is one of those times as a parent that you realize how rewarding life can be as a mom. I am also a preschool teacher at her school. I don't teach her class but I am learning a lot and love my students. It is such a fun age, they love to learn and have fun. Just like me!
