Where has the time gone?
I have tried many times to update my blog, but then I get caught up with other things that seem to take longer than they should've. Example: Pinterest(thanks to my sisters and friends for introducing me). I must say that this is probably one of my biggest addictions right now. Love it and hate it for that reason.
So I will try to fill you in on the past 5 months of the Hull Familes life and craziness that has been filling it.

Havens 1st Birthday!
We tried to make it a special day for her, even took her to Carls Jr for lunch. She has been teething like crazy lately with a runny nose to go along with it as well. Plus a huge mommas girl, but I think that she managed to have a good day! After having 3 other kids and 2 of which are girls, we definetly didn't need anything else in this house. But I couldn't not get her anything, so I managed to find a couple things that we didn't have already. I've wanted to get this cute car with my other kids so I did it this time. I thought it would be a great idea for Haven and for the other kids to entertain her outdoors this summer. Well, they all love it and push her all over the house. I can already tell that it was a great purchase, no regrets!
As you can see from this picture, Haven is pretty excited about her gifts and being the center of attention.
Sorry this picture is a little blurry. Jason had to help her blow the candle out as she was reaching for it.
We are sure glad to have Haven be in our family. She has always been curious about everything, like most kids her age are. She is walking along things, but doesn't really care to try and walk anytime soon. I think that I'm just fine with that for now, slow things down. She is only 17.5lbs, but she eats like a horse. She finally gets to sleep in her crib and new bedroom(we put Katelyn and Morgan in the same room).
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
Yellow Belt!
Winter wonders!

10th Anniversary!
We had to get up early for skiing the next day, but we did manage to get an early breakfast delivered.
I can't believe that it has already been 10 years. We haven't even had our first fight yet, maybe by 20 years we'll have done that! :) It's been an amazing ten years. I couldn't have chosen a better partner to share it with. When we met we hit it off right away, there was just this spark. We knew very soon that it was meant to be and were engaged within 2 months.
We have so much in common as far as we both love to be outdoors, play sports, be with our children, and so many other meaningful things to us. It is really great being married to your best friend. I love him so much and am so greatful that we have each other. He is a great dad and I'm looking forward to many more years to come.

Christmas in Logan!
We had a great time and lots of pictures to prove it, sorry about the overload on this post, but I couldn't get the slideshow to work. We were able to go skiing and took Katelyn and Henry, so we put them in a class and they did really well. I on the other hand saw a patch of dirt and couldn't turn in time and fell pretty hard. I ended up straining my rotater cuff. It killed. Brianne watched the little ones for me, so nice to have sisters.
Here is a run through of our 10 days in Logan! In no particular order!
These cute girls were pretty much in dressup clothes the whole entire time. They looked adorable!
Morgan is thinking, "Where is my food Aunt Brianne?" She is waiting patiently though, as I'm not helping, just taking pictures of her working! That's what I like to do best!
The kids loved playing outside, one day they went over this little hill behind the house and came back with this sign. They had to flip it over and over to get it down. They wanted to give it to Santa when he came. What a nice gift.
Our cute and entertaining nativity!
This picture is my favorite, I had noticed some deer out the window and told the kids to come and check it out. Then I thought it would be fun for them to shoot their new cap guns(long rifle looking ones) at them. Well next thing we know, they have their coats and boots with rifle in tow and they are off on a hunt. They were being quiet and sneaky, it was so funny to watch because there kept on being more deer appearing as they were getting closer. They went pretty far and the deer were always in view. When they got back they were so so excited to share their adventures with us, I think that Henry really thought his gun was real.
We were at Hobby Lobby and they had some material that were already cut into the patterns, so we purchased it and made these adorable pants for the girls. They were so cute and excited to model them for us.
The funniest thing about this trip was Christmas Eve when Dylan slept in our room with Henry and I got woken up at 3:30am. Henry said that they had gone upstairs to see what Santa had brought them. These two little boys were sooo excited that they took it upon themselves to sneak upstairs to check things out. Actually it was Dylan that woke Henry up and drug him up there, he is just like his mom was when we were younger, she was ALWAYS the first one awake. So Brianne if we are together for Christmas again, remind me to not have your children in my room. :) I was pretty tired the next day!
We did have a great time up in Logan, I'm glad that my sister was all right with us staying for 10 whole days with her. She was 8 months pregnant at the time and such a good sport to have us around. You are the best, thanks for a great vacation. The kids had a lot of fun with their cousins and we got to relax a bit. It was really fun!
December craziness!
Just like the rest of you, it is a busy time of year, but very fun and enjoyable. Here is all of us in our Christmas attire. I usually try to have the kids coordinate and then Jason and I decided to find something in our closets to do the same. We got together with some of Jasons family to make our traditional gingerbread houses. The kids all got their very own this year. Oh how I love the cute little ones that don't take up as much space.
