Letters to Santa

We wrote letters to Santa today:

Dear Santa,
I love the presents. I like going to your shop. I like you. We are going to be in Oregon and you have to know we are going to be in Oregon. I have a dinosaur book and our grandma's name is Kaaren and she has a tree house. There are no such things as monsters. You have to come soon. I want a remote control toy airplane and dinosaur. I like when you come. I have birds and clouds in my room. Birds wearing glasses.
-Eli Bryce Pixton

Dear Santa,
I wish to get a boy flower, pink flower, purple flower and a black flower. I also wish for a real bird that is not scared of me.

Love,
Olivia

Dear Santa,
We are going to be in Oregon this year but first we will have to pack. I want a pretend cake and remember I said I want a princess dress. I also want my own stickers. I want a pretend play Christmas tree too. I want lots of presents but remember Owa wanted a flower and I want a butterfly. And make sure you give mommy and daddy something too. Give her a ring and him a tie. Remember my name is Addison.
Love,
Addison (thanks to Addison)

All about Owa

Mommy on Owa-
This little girl is just a treasure! She is into everything and very ornery. All the "good" underwear were disappearing and I kept finding them under the bed. I didn't think much of it until one day Olivia came out of her room with Mermaid Panties on and I hadn't noticed them in the drawer. I put it together and realized Olivia had been stockpiling all the princess underwear under the bed so she didn't have to share with Addi! She loves to read and can play independently as well as with others really well.

She is into anything "fancy" and can't wait to get her ears pierced or "holed" as she calls it. Her nickname is "OWA" because when the triplets were little they left the entire middle part of her name out-LIVI and only could prounce the beginning and end O A. I think she will forever be Owa. Especially after I heard her soccer coach shout Owa from the sideline.

Below is a picture she drew of Clayton and I getting married in the temple. I love my lashes and Clayton's really long arms!

Halloween Love Affair

I can't get the kids to dress in "theme" costumes any more (The 3 bears) so Clayton and I partnered up this year with Christy as a police officer, a donut and an escaped convict! Christy joined us last minute. She was meant to go with her baby Chander- He being a Pea and she a carrot- thus her orange convict suit but she never got the carrot top together.

Christy and Darsh hosted the best halloween party ever. The Indian Summer we have been enjoying made Halloween just perfect.

End of Soccer

Soccer season has ended. Here are some photos of the Giants' last game.





Eli still chose to sit out most of the time at games. He says he'll play when he's five.

Very 1st Soccer Game Ever in This Life

You can imagine, if you haven't seen one before, a soccer game played by four-year-olds. Overall it was a good experience and we hope it will teach them something about life. Eli chose to sit out this time around, despite much encouragement and a candy bribe by his parents.


For some reason Addi was the one who had all the confidence on game day.

Kansas City Air Show

We had an awesome Saturday at the air show. Here are just a few pics and video. After 9 years of marriage I learned something new about Clayton- His favorite airplane is the P 38 Lighting (a more correct statement would be one if his favorite airplanes)!




The Oracle Challenger was one of my favorites! The pilot get scaring me. The video is bad but you get the idea. It was really hard to film with the camera and the kids on our laps!

Parent Watch Week

Addi and Owa have been taking a 6 week "princess dance class" at the Merriam Community Center. Parents are not allowed into the classroom until the last one. It was fun to watch the girls get into it and see what they have been doing.
