These two had their piano recital tonight and played beautifully. I hope I am not the only parent who tears up when her kids play the piano.

These two girls are so ready to perform with the @utahmetropolitanballet in the nutcracker. They have been working so hard and practicing constantly I can’t wait to watch them do what they love.

My girls have been begging to go to Frozen 2 but with our schedule lately it’s just been hard to find a time to go. So we did the only thing one should do in that situation and we skipped school to go to the movies.

In the winter if you sit in this room there is a moment in the morning (usually right before the kids go out the door to school) when the light first beams in around the corner. It adds a rainbow like glow to the room and makes it feel like magic. Which says a lot since I am not a morning person and I would still rather be here in this room at that moment than in bed... well maybe... I mean bed is pretty nice too.

Hey look I made something for the boy! He used to be my main muse, then he decided to grow up and have opinions 😂 still though he always appreciates a mom made item and that makes this mom pretty happy. (Free embroidery pattern on the blog if you are into that kind of thing)

We had the best thanksgiving yesterday. By far the best tradition has been moving it all up one day 😂 Now to shop, eat left overs, set up Christmas and watch all the Disney movies we want. (Thanks @mmshwin for also coming even if you guys missed the picture)

I had a vision of this coat in my head and I love when it comes together just as I had hoped. Added 8” to the Desmond Jacket pattern. I think it’s been 6 years since I made the Desmond and I almost forgot about it. So glad I found this perfect camel fabric @joann_stores which I debated between this or a plaid but I am glad I went camel because now it can go with anything.

We had a little mother/daughter craft night in the studio. Abbey did hers all by herself, and Penny did a great job picking colors and gluing. I hope they always want to create with me and note to self I hope I always drop everything and say yes.

Penny changed her mind a few times but ultimately we combined her final ideas and made her a ballerina unicorn. She was bright and shiny and everything she wanted to be.

When you and your bestie love twinning especially on Halloween. At first I tried to convince them to be something other than Ballerinas since Halloween is a chance to be anything and since we are already full into nutcracker season I thought they would want to take a break, but they love what they love and they are some pretty cute ballerinas. Tutu tutorial is on the blog :)

I guess we could have called this trip the greatest hits trip. We went to Arches national park today to revisit their favorite spots. We added a new spot to the list when we pulled over for a lunch spot and let the kids run wild. I know everyone goes to Arches for the delicate arch, and we have yet to even do that because there are so many amazing places to explore no need to fight the crowds. Maybe someday we will hit it up.

Fall break is one of my favorites, we have made so many memories as a family exploring this beautiful Earth. We weren’t even planning on doing a trip this year but I am so glad we threw together a last minute trip. We went with 2 great family friends and ran into the kid’s favorite teachers who joined us and hung out to play games back at the hotel. It was a big group with all these kids and it was so fun. We went back to Goblin Valley state park and walked through Little Wild Horse Canyon which was a beautiful slot canyon.

The boys went out fishing yesterday, it’s something that has been on Jude’s mind for quite a while now. He caught 8 fish and seemed very in his element. I love to see him picking up new hobbies and anything that is outside and away from a screen.

The boys went out for the evening so the girls wanted a “girls night” Face masks ✔️ painted nails ✔️ junk food ✔️ reality tv (kids baking championship) ✔️ laughing until we cry ✔️ teaching them that pretty may be skin deep but beauty comes from within ✔️ These girls are strong, kind, funny, smart, wildly talented, and the most beautiful souls I know.

Sometimes I think how nice it would be to take a nice drive up to the mountains and see the changing leaves and take some great family photos. Then I remember who my family is and how it will just be a battle, so I settle for a come as you are and come if you want drive up in the mountains. I am just glad they humored me long enough to snap a quick picture.
