Christmas Time!

Well I have once again gotten behind! But I am determined to do better this year! One of my favorite gifts that I got for Christmas was a book compiled of all the blogs I have done! Thanks Mom! It was so great to look back on the things that we have done throughout the year. But one thing that kept coming to my mind is why didn't I do more posts! So Mom one of my News year resolutions is to do at least one post a month and hoping since everyone loved their gift so much maybe you will do it again next Christmas! wink wink!

Where to Start! One of our biggest Christmas Presents that we got was news that we are Expecting a baby BOY in May. We are very excited a little shocked, scared, excited, and very blessed to be able to bring this little spirit into our little family!

We had a wonderful Christmas Holiday! We were able to spend a lot of time together and with family which always doesn't happen. We first started this Christmas with our Tradition of going and cutting down our Christmas tree! My dad, Wayne, Me, Livvy and Madi headed up to idaho and bundled up and skied and picked out a perfect tree (thanks dad!)

Madi all bundled up ready to go!

Livvy had been looking forward to it for ALONG time!

Wayne was super dad and carried Madison in the kid carrier and pulled Livvy while skiing!

Here is the tree! It wasn't where Wayne could ski up with the kids but we had to get a picture before it got cut down so you get me!

Here it is all cut and ready to go! Madi is kinda hidden behind her dad! It was a beautiful day!


Next adventure of the Season was that my sister Jenny and her little family was able to come and spend a couple weeks with us! it was so fun to have her and the twins here! oh and Devin! (we missed you Anna)

Don't hate me Jenny but I LOVE this picture! i believe Olivia took this one!

Here is Livvy chill'n with her cousins on the couch!

They had a movie playing on the Laptop! All 4 of them wee entertained for a while!

Here is livvy cheesing it up for the camera with her beanbags and AWESOME bean bag thing (dont know what you call it) that Jenny made! It turned out super cute! Thanks again Jen!

Next adventure was Christmas Eve! My family has an awesome tradition of going out to the barn and read the Christmas story out of the scriptures! It is so cool to be surrounded by the animals and that atmosphere!

Here we are all bundled up ready to go out to the barn

Here are my amazing parents!

Next is Christmas Morning!

Here is livvy and dad all snuggled up ready to go out and see what santa had a brought

And madi! Suprisingly she was extra happy even though she kinda got woke up!

Next we went to My mom and dads and then out to the Smiths! It is so nice to be close to both families and to be able to see them on Christmas though at the end of the day we had 2 oh wait 3 very tired girls! but it was a lot of fun! (the pictures aren't in order because it wouldn't cooperate with me!)

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! Livvy loved dressing up and doing all the fun things! This year livvy was Abby Cadaby from Sesame Street and Madison was a flower. They both were super cute! We had a fun filled day....starting with a big breakfast (wayne didnt have to work! so we had the whole day with him which was sooooo nice!) then we headed to downtown and trick or treated in the little shops which was perfect for livvy she had a lot of fun and got some candy! then we headed to a few peoples houses in logan then headed out to my mom and dads. We hung out there for a little bit then headed to the lewiston carnival. That was way fun! I think i loved it more cause i got to share something i did as a kid with my kids. Livvy loved it! we got there right when it opened and nobobdy was there so we didnt have to wait in any lines and got to do many fun things! Then we headed to the smiths where we all went trick or treating around richmond with all the cousins which was fun (but livvy was scared of the cousins that wore masks so she was attached to dads hip!) The we hung out for a little bit more then came home and went straight to bed! It was a fun day and at fun ages! Madison was a trooper as we dragged her around everywhere!! here are some pictures of our crazy day!
My cute little girls!

Summer fun!

Sorry it has been forever! For some reason I cant get myself to the blog; but i will definitely try harder because i think it a great thing for friends and family to stay in touch with me and my family and what is going on in our lives! So now with that said we have had a GREAT summer! it flew by way too much! Here are just a few.... ok it turned out to be more then a few pictures of what we did this summer and of my growing girls!

We were able to go on a hike with the Llamas, Grandpa, Anna and her girls! it was a lot of fun!!

Went to Bear Lake a few times! Livvys favorite place! Now every time we ask her what she wants to do she says "I want to go to bear lake" It cracks me up all the time!
