Meeting Santa 2011.

The girls saw Santa 3 times this year! We saw him at the mall, he came to our house one night and then at the annual Zobrist Christmas Eve Party.
Kate would talk his ear off every time. She was so excited and didn't want him to forget anything on her list. Lucy was a little hesitant, but warmed up most of the time because she saw how comfortable Kate was.
Kate did ask a couple time why he was wearing different outfits and why sometimes his beard was longer... Well, what did we say? He has different outfits for different occasions/days, just like you and i... and about the beard, we must have seen it right after he got it cut.




I love the magic of Christmas.
We believe!

Flashback :: Christmas Program.

Kate had a little preschool Christmas program.
It was the cutest thing ever.
I may have gotten a little teary eyed thinking of how big she is getting and that next school year she will be in Kindergarten.
Anyway, Ms. Jamie does such a good job with these kids.
And the kids just adore her!

Halloween 2011

Kate was dying to be Ariel this year for Halloween. So after looking at a bunch of different ariel costumes, she settled for this one. She loved all the sparkles and the purple and green. She said it looked exactly like Ariel.
Lucy, she wants to do anything Kate does. So she content being Ariel's sister, (Arista, i think?).
We went to mimi and papa's to take a few photos before heading over to our Ward Trunk or Treat. Love these cute girls.













Friends at Trunk or Treat.
Kate and Lucy were so excited to finally go trick or treating... actually Lucy couldn't believe people were just giving her candy.




As for Daniel and I, we thought about keeping the theme of little mermaid... Me being Ursula and Daniel being King Triton... but the shirtless mer-king was not a convincing costume. So we settled on Cowboys and Indians. (P.S. 24 weeks pregnant)

Love this cowboy.

A tooth.

On October 9th, Kate lost her very first tooth.
Can you believe it?
She's 4.
A very mature 4, might i add.
She noticed it was a bit wiggly about a week before.
I didn't believe her until i checked for myself.
And sure enough, it was loose.
I do remember (at her last dental apt) that her dentist told me it would be soon that that tooth would come out, but i guess i didn't believe him either.
She likes her new look.



That night, she put her tooth and a note under her pillow and anticipated the infamous tooth fairy.
And when she woke up she found $5 and a note.
She was thrilled!
The tooth fairy was good to her.

Preschool Grad.

The days are long... but the years are short.
-Gretchen Rubin

How true is this quote? I feel like just yesterday was Kate's first day of school. And now she graduated her 1st year of Preschool. She absolutely loves school, who wouldn't with Ms. Jamie and Ms. Holly as her teachers. They are awesome and i can't thank them enough for all the effort they put into teaching my baby (ahem, big girl).
Back in May (yes, i'm really behind) Kate had her Graduation, complete with the cap and gown. The program was so cute and included the pledge, songs, kid interviews (when asked 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' kate said "A PRINCESS!"), and receiving their diploma.
I may have cried a bit during the program. So proud of my girl. She did awesome!

Views of an iPhone {vol. 4}

My blogging has been pretty weak. Yes, i know. So i'll try to catch you up on the past month. It might be a pretty lengthy update with a slight photo overload from the trusty iphone. So enjoy... here's to updating more often with better photos!

1. Oven Pancakes. My kids love them (including the Mr.) I love when they come out perfect and plump! This isn't a very good photo, but let me tel you they were pouring over the pan! Yum! (twice in a row!)




2. Perk of living in the middle of the desert... Hot Air balloons launching and landing, constantly. We love it. Such a pretty sight.



3. Kate, {fake} being asleep. She think she can trick me. Hilarious!



4. A trip to Utah resulted in a much needed retail therapy session at IKEA.
Purchased a sofa bed for the loft, 3 small dressers for the girls and a bunch of little knick knacks.
Love me some IKEA!



5. Also on the agenda, Texas Roadhouse.
A recommendation from most.
My review: The rolls {and honey butter} were absolutely delicious. If you know me, you know i LOVE rolls and Texas Roadhouse totally satisfied my pallet.
The food was good, i'm not much of a Steak girl {and they say it is amazing}, but i got the chicken and it was good. I'm a pretty easy target.



6. My bro-in-law own a gun shop.
Daniel was dying to snap a photo of me and a gun.
So i flashed him a 'west side' sign, smiled and said cheese.



7. Co-op has been going great. Love to have these kids over to play.



8. Kate {and i} made this cute little butterfly for preschool.
She was so proud.




9. After a recent church activity, we captured Stacie and surprised her with a little Birthday celebration. We took her blindfolded around town and we ended up at the Cheesecake factory.
A great night indeed.





10. Such a pretty sunset of the desert mountain.




11. Working at dad's office. The girls love visiting dad and papa at work.



11. Caught! Lucy trying to open the fridge.
This girl eats more then any kid i've seen! I swear she's always hungry.



12. Lounging on the bouncer. So funny.



13. Cupcakes i made for a baby shower.
They were really good! Thanks to Kris for all her cake tips.



14. We celebrated Grannybird's Birthday in March.
I love celebrating her. She is amazing!
I made a subway are in honor of her, with a few of her sayings.
We love her so.



15. The celebration continued to Sammy's where her and the kids shared a messy sundae.



16. Another great sunset. On our way to Cali for our {3rd} annual girl's trip {with the fab four}.
Be jealous. We had a BLAST!
SLO was pretty awesome!



17. A few other iphone photos from the trip...




18. Rocket balloons. Such a great toy. Trust me. You need to get this.
You and your friends will have so much fun.
Get it here. You won't be sorry.

She puts kates shoes on all the time.

We are outside constantly!
Swinging is a favorite activity around here. ;)
(hope i don't get in trouble for saying that?
Hopefully, someone won't quote me on this without seeing the photos.)



22. Love my girls.





23. Lucy's chipped tooth.


23 1/2. In the waiting room of the dentist's office.
{looking for a pediatric dentist in Las Vegas? Go here.}


23 3/4. They had to put her out to fix it. I'm glad it's done.
They did a fantastic job!



24. Done and Done! Fixed the chip.
(don't mind all the food around her mouth. sorry.)
P.S. i kinda love her little gap.



25. Went to Rambo's Kitchen for dinner one lovely day.
It's all about the 70's.
Pro: They serve breakfast all day long! Games on every table. Hula hoops. Never busy.
Con: A little pricey.



26. At the park.
Daniel throwing lucy.
She loves it.



27. Kate wanted braid so bad one day. I tried, but failed.
I called my friend amy. She came to the rescue!
Kate kept the braids in for over 3 days.
We finally took them out and this was the result.
She loved it just the same.



28. My aunt and cousin came to town to visit.
We went to Sammy's. {it might be my new fav place}



29. I made this wreath for my door.
I needed something spring.
Here is the tutorial.

33. Finally got bunk beds for the girls! Love them!
You can't go wrong with PBK.

34. Easter weekend.
The saturday before Easter i think Kate spend more of the day in the water than she did out of the water. She loves to swim!
She was also such a good sharer that day. Sharing her donut with Lucy.
What a fun weekend with the Zobrist fam.



34 1/2. Lucy was beat!



35. Occasionally i will find her up her. Playing with the iPad.
