Catching up on some random things ...

I kept thinking that I didn't have much to post the last week or two, but when I downloaded some other pictures from my camera this morning, I realized there were a few I hadn't remembered taking and in order to get caught up on everything, I figured I'd do one big post of all these small random pictures I have.

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to do a movie night for family home evening. The kids have been wanting to see UP for quite a while and when it came out on video, Jeremiah hunted it down at a Redbox and we went and rented it. The kids brought their beanbag chairs down from upstairs and we had a fun time watching the movie, eating popcorn, and snuggling under our blankets. What a few family home evening!


I know I recently posted about Hailey's pink obsession and showed her hairstyle that day - a ponytail. Well, a week or so ago she decided she wanted to do pigtails instead. So after a little work getting them in, we just had to take a few pictures to show them off. I couldn't believe how long her hair was getting!


She loved the pigtails and ran around all day swishing them from side to side. It was so funny!


On Saturday we decided to divide up and getting some Christmas/birthday shopping done. Hailey went with her Dad and Zach went with me. While we were already one-on-one with each of them, we decided we'd also find a place to have a little treat. Unknown to us at the time was the fact that there are very few places in Lehi that actually sell donuts! So Jeremiah opted for a small bakery in the center of town, but had to bring their donuts home due to there being no place to sit and eat them in the bakery. He said that watching Hailey eat her donut was one of the cutest things, so he just had to take some pictures of her. After getting her an apron and pulling her hair back, he gave her the donut she chose - a maple bar.


He said she dug into the donut right in the middle (like she does everything else) and started eating it like a piece of corn on the cob.


He said she got about as much frosting on her face as she did in her mouth - too cute! Zach and I ended up at the same bakery, but he wanted to eat his donut in the car before we headed home, so I didn't get any pictures of his donut eating. His didn't have any frosting, but it was still cute to watch him enjoy it.


What a fun time we had with just one of the kids - we've decided to do more of these little "mini-dates" more often.

By the way, you can see we got Hailey's hair cut right before these last pictures were taken - it's so cute and she just loves it! It's cut just to her chin and very fun and bubbly - just like she is.
