Christmas 2012

 Santa found us! Yipee!!

 Waiting to go see what santa brought...

 So excited!

 Daniel putting his new pocket knife to work.

 Mayzie would only smile like this..

 

 The next day the kids and I went down to the ranch. They have 8 new puppies and Mayzie loved them! She also loved the swing :)

 John took Daniel on a motorcycle ride..

Once again we had a great Christmas with family and spending time together. I feel so blessed to have wonderful family all around us and the opportunity to be a mom to another little person! The Lord truly blesses us everyday and I am so grateful! I hope you all had wonderful Holidays!!

Christmas Eve

 Because of Vern's work schedule, we ended up spending Christmas with his family.  We had fun and it was good to be together! I love doing the nativity and so do the kids. This year we ended up with 2 angels and a Shepard that wouldn't dress up...

 Sophie was crying and none of us know why.....it was pretty funny though!

 Tobin fell asleep..

 It is always fun to open pajamas!

Christmas Programs

 Isabelle had a few Christmas things this year. The first one was singing around the tree for the tree lighting in town.

 The second was a program at school. She did such a good job! I love watching them learn and grow into little people! It is so much fun!

 It was snowing that day and so I sent her with her boots on and was going to bring her nice shoes later, but I forgot, so she got stuck wearing her boots.

Cookies

 We had a lot of fun making cookies this year and as you can see making lots of mess :)

 My crazy kids! I really like them a lot!!

Oh Christmas Tree...

 I love getting the house ready for Christmas! I love the smells and the feeling in the air! It is just a great time of year! I feel so blessed!!

Thanksgiving

This year was our my families turn to do Thanksgiving and my mom and dad were able to go to Idaho and spend it there, so those of us who couldn't go did other things. Rachel and Ammon's families did it together in Phoenix, Hanna had Randy's family over, Davey had it up north, Ryan was at the ranch, and Molly and I went to Shiree's house. We had good food and enjoyed visiting with each other and then Molly and I headed to Vegas to do some black Friday shopping. We had a good time and found some good deals. This year was different, but still fun!

Daniel's class did a Thanksgiving play at school and it was really cute! I forgot my camera and so I used my phone and the pictures were horrible! I am so mad that I forgot it! He made a really cute Indian!

WiGs

 We have a few wigs and the kids love to put them on.......

I think they look so funny!

My Little Helper

Mayzie got the pans out the other day and I asked her to put them away and this is how she did it :) She was so proud of herself! I love my little helper!

Halloween Party

 We had dinner at Shiree's this year and made lots of yummy treats. Stetsy came over and spent the day making stuff with me. I am so glad she was here to help me!  I thought these cupcakes were so cute!!

 Stetsy made these caramel apples.....they were so cute!

 Witches fingers..

 Shiree made these cute little bugs.

Isabelle thought this wig was great! Wyatt wore it to school :)  The kids got to trick or treat, house to house for the first time this year. We are used to doing the trunk or treat, but in this town they don't do that, so they had a new experience. It was a lot of fun, but I am so glad it's over!!

Crazy Hair Day

 The kids always love crazy hair day :) I think they all look pretty crazy!

HaLLoWeEn SpOOkatular

 We had a Halloween Spooktacular on Saturday and it was really fun! They got all dressed up and had a blast.

 

Gracie was an old lady, Leah and Isabelle were genies(thanks Jill), Daniel was a rodeo clown yet again, but he wouldn't change his mind. Mayzie was a strawberry and Macoy was a cowboy.

Pumpkin Carving

 Stetsy and Clance carved pumpkins with us this year.  We listened to music and had so much fun! Thanks for coming over guys!!
