Picture with Santa

We took the girls to see Santa today at Bass Pro Shop. This was the only time Brennon would be able to come with us before school and finals. Bailey asked this morning if we could go to the mall and see a Christmas Tree and Santa (last week we went to the mall and Bailey and her cousin Paige saw Santa and were blowing him kisses). So cute! Bailey was really excited and couldn't stop smiling and Hayden didn't really know what was going on. Aren't they so cute!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. We started Thursday with a Turkey Run. I don't know what I was thinking, but I seriously thought I was going to pass out. It was freezing cold, but still a lot of fun! The winner received a silver dollar and sadly I did not win the silver dollar, but at least I beat my dad. :)

Later that day, we had a wonderful dinner and all the girl cousins had a blast! As you can tell from the pictures, we had a ton of food and it was all so good.

Last, we went to see Tangled. I think this was my favorite part of the day. It was such a cute movie and I would highly recommend it to anyone that has not been able to see it.

What a great weekend. I am so thankful for a wonderful family and the time we were able to share together this Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my husband and working hard for our family. I am grateful for my Savior and for the Holy Ghost. I am grateful for my two beautiful girls. I am thankful for my friends, my ward family, and in-laws. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Fun at Freestone Park

Saturday I took Bailey and Hayden to Freestone Park to meet up with our friends Scott, Tasha, and Brookelle.

The Girls loved the train ride.

Scott was very nice and helped take care of the girls.

Brookelle and Bailey loved the Ferris Wheel




Brennon was able to come a little later for lunch. We had a great day! Bailey loves her friend Brookelle. That's all she has been talking about the past two days. Thanks Tasha for taking pictures :)

Shun the Sun

On Saturday Carrie and I ran the 10K. It was so much fun! We have been running together for the past 9 weeks at 5 am, and I could have never have motivated myself to go running if it wasn't for Carrie and Jen running with me in the mornings. Thank you girls!


We ran for team Zerorez.



Me, Pam, Corrie, and Carrie. Pam and Corrie ran the half marathon. Next time I will be running that too :)

Thanks Carrie for taking pictures! It was such a great race!

Snowflake vs. Coolidge

We went to the Snowflake vs. Coolidge game this weekend to support Brennon's high school team. Seriously who would have thought I would be supporting the Lobos and wearing a Lobos hat. It was so much fun! Both teams played awesome! The score ended up being 29 to 28 in Snowflake's favor. What a great game.


Jessica, my buddy from high school was there. Her dad is the Snowflake football coach! Congrats Ron!

Amy was supporting her friend from Coolidge, Colt. I thought it would be funny to wear a Snowflake hat on the Coolidge side for a quarter, but it wasn't very funny.

Brennon and me after the game.

zoo with dad

Dad came to the zoo with us last week and what a great time we had together.We love it when dad comes with us places. Bailey was really excited that morning when I told her Brennon didn't have to go to work or school. She said, "Dad hang out with me!" I am ready for Brennon to graduate in May so we can have more days we can hang out together.

"Mom you okay?"

The other day I was just having one of those days. I locked the keys in the car and Brennon was out of state with the other set. I started crying because that's what you do I guess when you don't know what else to do. Bailey came into the room and said:

"Mom you okay? Mom don't cry you be okay. Do you want water?"
No I am going to be okay I don't want water babe.
"Oh don't cry mom. Do you want to go pee? Come on let's go pee."
No I don't need to go pee Bailey Thank you though
"Oh mom you be okay. Let's take a nap okay. Come on, I hold you."
Thank you Bailey can I have a hug.
"Yes Mom I give you hug and kiss. You okay Mom?"
Yes Bailey I am okay.

I am so blessed to have the cutest little girl. She really is my buddy and friend. I thank my heavenly father every day for sending me such a sweet angel. She sure makes me happy. I love my little girls with all my heart.

My sister in law Carianne and my brother Andy came and saved the day by getting triple A over and getting the car unlocked. They my not have known it, but it really made my day. Thanks Bailey, Carianne, and Andy for helping when I just didn't think I could do it on my own.
