Oh the HOLIDAYS are JOYFUL!

So much to catch up on, Thanksgiving, Rylee's 8th Birthday, Christmas.....Wow alot has been going on. So first off my sister had her handsome little boy on Nov 1st! I was lucky enough to be involved since my mom was on her way back from St. George and didn't make it in time. Thanks Ali and Rob for letting me share that experience with you! He is a cutie pie and we love him. Hadlee loves her cousin, it will be so fun to have them so close!


Hadlee is growing up so fast! Colby and Rylee are such great big brother and sister. They help so much and love to make Hadlee smile and talk! OOOH her cheeks are edible!!


Thanksgiving was down in St George this year! Thanks Skye and Cody for being such gracious Hosts. It was good to play with all our family down there. Also it was such nice weather the kids went hiking and to the park, swim(inside) and were able to play together all week! It was great, great food, great family and great memories. The Vegas Bunn's were able to come and visit too. Always a good time when they are around! We wish it was more often.





My other baby turned 8!!! Wow how time fly's. I remeber when she was blessed thinking how far away her baptism was and wondering what was she going to be like then. Well I can proudly say Rylee is a wonderful, giving, caring, happy, smart, beautiful little girl that loves her Heavenly Father and is so excited to get Baptised that is all she has talked about for months. She was star of the week in school and got to share all about her selft. She had a late night Pajama Party with her friends that night. She had 6 girls over and they had pizza, played, had a pillow fight and watched "Enchanted" the ultimate Girly movie and just had fun! I was so surprised there were no tears or fights, all 7 girls got along and played great! The next day she went shopping with Nana to pick out a baptism dress. She was so excited to be able to pick out what ever she wanted. Then we wrapped it up with good ol' family fun time at Fat Cats, Bowling! Happy Birthday Rylee we love you and are so proud of the wonderful little lady you are!










Here are just more fun pictures of us enjoying time together!!





FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I love HALLOWEEN!

I love this time of year, Fall, the colors changing, the cool air the fact that I can break out my favorite black turtle neck! And Halloween!!! I always love to dress up too, its not just for kids. We took the kids to Cornbelly's one day, carved pumpkins and we ended up doing a last minute get together with our neighborhood Halloween night. We did a soup party, to get everyone warmed up before they headed out trick or treating! It was great, our whole neighborhood came! Colby was an evil clown, Rylee a Drama Queen, Hadlee a Lady Bug and I was myself a Witch! Laren is party pooper! The kids had a great time, Rylee again came back after just a few houses and said, everyone keeps giving me candy and I don't want it. I think she is the first kid to ever refuse candy and politely say No Thanks after saying trick or treat! What a character she is!










Just a few more pics of sweet little hadlee,oh we just love her!

Oh what a Blessing!

We had Hadlee Blessed on October 11th. We were so blessed to have most all of our family from both sides there to help us celebrate this special day! Laren did such a great job and gave Hadlee a beautiful blessing. She wore Rylee's blessing dress and when I put it on her, I thought back on how fast 7 years has gone by since Rylee's blessing and I hope that the next 7 can slow down just a bit! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Hadlee has brought our family closer together and made us feel so much joy and happieness. We love her so much and can't wait to watch her grow and learn. I am thankful to my heavenly father for letting us raise her. What a huge resposibility that is to raise a beautiful, strong, happy Daughter of God. On this day I want so many things for Hadlee. I want her to be and have so many things, Happy, safe, positive, peaceful, strong, confident, humble, friendly, compasionate, most of all to always know how much she is loved by her family and her Heavenly Father.

Oh so many pictures, I can't pick just a few!

This was a real smile, not just gas!


How do I get anything done when I have these cheeks to munch on all day!

Hadlee has been so strong from the beginning, Laren likes to prove it. I don't watch!

This is one of my favorites, She has him wrapped around his finger so tight its crazy! I knew he was a softy!

Cute prego Aunt Ali about to pop and she looks great!
