Surprise party 2010

This year we decided to attend the city of Surprise "Surprise Party". I've heard about it, but we have never gone in the past. Some friends of our invited us to go with their family so we went:0)
I had no idea it would be so awesome! They had about 10 hot air balloons that they blew up, sky divers jump it at night, and then fireworks at the end. They also had tons of vendors and of course my favorite...funnel cakes!
We had so much fun!

That's my boy!

I don't have a picture for this one...but just had to share!
This past week the boys decided that they wanted to earn their own money to spend on Christmas gifts. One night they asked me if they could find things that they could sell and post them on craigslist.
I decided it wouldn't do any harm just as long as it was all done in my name and I had to do all the comuniating with other people.

They ended up making $92.00!!! I was pretty proud of them :0) They both have quiet the bussiness mind.

Preschool stuff...

I hate to post too much about preschool stuff, but this past week this was a big part of my life!
On Monday and Tuesday I did a polar Express party for the kids...as you can see I was the train conductor, and then we had Mrs. Clause come to visit.
On Wednesday and Thursday and I did a "Preschool Cafe" for the parents to come and see their kids. I am personally pretty proud of it and I thought that it went very well.

Halle's gingerbread girl

Halle was given the project at school to make her own gingerbread person. She did it all by herself and was very proud. I found this video on my camera (she made it while I was scouts). She would die if she knew I posted it, but it's just too darn cute!

My newest project

I made this just recently for Christmas...I thought it turned out cute :0)

Jay's actual birthday

Jayden's birthday was on the 30th. We all did our tradition chocolate chip pancake breakfast and presents.
Tyler picked Jay up a little early and took him for his birthday. Jay really wore Tyler completely out! They went to lunch, the mall, bowling, Cabella's, and then Peter Piper Pizza for lunch. They both had a lot of fun :0)

Here comes Santa!

After our Thanksgiving celebration, we had a special visitor come. The kids all truly LOVE this Santa. It's sort of become our Gordon family tradition now :0)

Thanksgiving Week

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were able to have it at Brett and Heather's so we didn't have to go anywhere :0) We had my parents come down as well as have Natalie and Tim's family stay with us.

We had lots of fun. Heather and Brett did a great job! We even had a jump house for the kids to play in. Heather bought the ugliest sweaters she could find for everyone and wrapped them up for us to unwrap. Here are some fun pictures.

Natalie and I also had a fun time that night of doing our annual black Friday night. This time we started at 10pm and stayed out all night waiting for deals.
