I don't know where Scott picked this up, but he is a natural riverdancer. He picked up the robot dance from the movie 'Robots' (appropriate, huh?). You decide which style he should pursue.

Full moon over Mesa
For Marc's birthday I decided to send him to Canada to visit his family. I found a really good deal on airline tickets, and the last couple of years he has said he missed the winter season. So I thought this would be perfect. He flew out of a smaller airport in south mesa on the morning of the 11th. I thought this was kind of a cool airport. It is a lot like airports used to be. You walk out on the tarmac to get on the plane and you can stand next to the runway and watch the plane take off. They even have a little grassy area with a BBQ and picnic tables next to the runway.
So Marc checked in and the kids and I went out to watch him get on the plane. We were all excited when we saw Marc walk out onto the runway, so I told the kids to wave at daddy. The girls started waving and yelling to Marc, then I noticed Scott wasn't standing with the other 2. So I glanced back and he was standing back from me just a little and to the right, just out of sight. He had decided that instead of waving to daddy it would be more fun to moon him instead. I WAS SO MAD! I told him that better not ever happen again and if it did he would not be having fun for a very long time, he would go to school and come home and stay in his room except to eat until I forgot what he did. All I can say though, is that he definitely acts more like his dad every day.

Mesa Temple lights
We went to the Mesa temple lights as a family this year. They were so pretty this year. And the kids loved all the lights and the little recreations of the nativity story. After we saw the lights, we stopped at Starbucks for hot chocolate on the way home. We drank as we were driving and all of a sudden we heard a lot of slurping and smacking and when we turned around all of the noise was coming from Kassi. The big kids had fallen asleep, and Kassi was not letting a drop of her hot chocolate go to waste. She ended up drinking 2 cups. Now she wont pass up a cup even if she thinks there is only a chance that there is hot chocolate in it.
Oil Changing Fun
One day while Marc was at work I decided to change the oil in the truck, and the girls decided to help me.
It was kind of a messy job with 2 little girls sticking their hands in everything and trying to use the tools. But with all of their help we got done pretty quickly with only minimal mess.
Kassi had a little grease on her face and Katie ended up rolling around and playing under the truck until her hair ended up in the used oil container that I had just finished filling to the top. She looked kind of funny with one long black streak on the left side of her hair.

Our little girl is not a baby anymore
On October 27th our little "tassi woo" turned 2. For those of you who don't know our kids couldn't say some of their letters when Kassi was born and they kept calling her Tassi and stuck and we added a woo. She is so big now I can't believe how fast time flies. On a side note there are good things about them getting older, for instance Kassi potty trained herself 2 1/2 months before her second birthday. Yeah for us, no more diapers.
She really loves presents, so ripping all that paper was very exciting for her. She got 2 Dogs which are her favorite things right now. She also got her very own princess crown, hopefully she will stop trying to steal her sisters crown.
Halloween
Halloween was alot of fun we carved pumpkins. Scott didn't want to get his hands gooey.
The girls had no problems with this though,
they were both in to their armpits and smiled the whole time. The kids picked their costumes and Katie of course chose to be a princess, Scott wanted to be an army guy so that he could carry his little cap rifle. Kassie is a different story though, since she wont talk still and would just grunt in her little language I decided that she would be a fairy this year, which must have been what she was trying to tell us, because she loved i
t. We got to go trick or treating a couple of times this year. Our ward had a trunk- or-treat and then the next night we got to trick- or-treat in our neighborhood. The kids made quite a haul. They are still trying to finish the last of the halloween candy and it is only a week until Christmas. I think our kids favorite part of halloween is when we went to Uncle Greg and Aunt Michelles house. They got to play with Ashley, and uncle Greg teased them and then he even let them play with the little dog Lucy. On Monday when I took the kids to school the first thing they both told their teachers was about playing with Lucy.
