Christmas time is here again.

Well before we know it Christmas will be here and gone again. So I am wishing everyone a Merry Christmas now. Life has been so busy lately and I don't know with what but I seem to stay on my toes at all times. Kassi and Karli had their Christmas dance recital last Saturday and they did so well. My Kassi was beautiful out there and becoming quite the dancer. I just love to watch her. Karli is finally getting over her shyness and also doing very well. Treyson is waiting for that phone call to tell him his glasses are in. Breckyn is growing so fast and last night used the potty for the very first time!!!YAY!!! I have literally been diapers for 9 years and 3 months. I am ready for that to be over. Can you imagine what I have spent over the past 9 years?
The kids are so excited for Christmas to come, Karli has been helping out tons around the house and keeps asking if I think she is on the good list. She wants littlest pet shop toys for Christmas, Trey and Kassi have their days they are both asking for Nintendo DS's.
I have been having alot of fun getting to know people up here. I have made a couple of good friends and have been getting involved in alot more stuff with church than I ever have before, maybe there was a reason I moved here. I do miss my friends back home though.

My little Breckyn was not happy getting his picture taken at all.Here is my Trey he just wanted to get this over and done with.

Karli wasn't sure where to look cuz we had so many camera's going off.


Kassi Jo doing one of her Diva poses. She loves to be in front of the camera and kept trying to sneek into all the pictures.




My four cute little ones. The sun was bright so almost all of our pics have us with our eyes half closed

Thanksgiving weekend

Well Thanksgiving went way to fast as time always seems to do when I go home. We had alot of fun. I got to spend some time with my Great Grandma who was celebrating her 96Th birthday on Thanksgiving. I hadn't seen her for over a year. We got some great pictures including a 5 generation that I am going to post. Me and Chris took my mom shopping for her first black Friday. She was just in awe that people get up and go shopping that early and couldn't believe how busy Logan was at 4 AM. We didn't find much Friday but were back in line Saturday morning at Kmart. We scored that day coming out with 4 leapster games that were buy one get one free. I was very excited over this.

Remember:
Jesus is Better than Santa.
Santa lives at the North Pole;
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh;
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year;
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies;
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited;
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa;
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap;
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is, "Hi, little boy/girl. What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly;
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO;
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says, "You better not cry!"
JESUS says, "Cast all your cares on me for
I care for you."

Santa's little helpers make toys;
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle, but....
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree,
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

I found this poem on a friend of mines blog and i really liked it.

New at this!!

Ok so I am so excited to finally have this started. My two best friends have told me to get this going and at last I finally have. So bear with me I am new and slow at this. Well I am now living in Green River Wy and I really like it here. I have met and made some new friends and really like the ward. I feel very comfortable there. We are heading up to utah this weekend and I hope to come home with lots of great pictures to post and blog about. I will try to keep this current and hopefully get the hang of it .

Breckyn Lonnie



Our baby!! Breckyn just turned two. He is so full fof energy and keeps mommy on her toes. He is currently obsessed with locking doors. He loves to go into a room and lock the door and then come out and shut it. Good thing our doors unlock with just about anything or I would be in trouble. He is also learning so many new words. I laugh all day lons and the things he says. My step dad is spanish so he likes to teach him spanish. Breeckyn currently calls me "mamasita" it is hilarious.

Karli Faye

This is our Karli she is four and a handful. She has a mind of her own and lets you know if she id not happy about something. She is very independant and doesn't like help from anyone (even if she really needs it). She is my little mommy. She loves to help take care of her baby brother.

Kassi Jo



This is our Kassi she will turn seven on Dec. 28th. She is very outgoing and loves dancing and sports and just about anything to do with being outdoors. She is like a fish in the water and scares me sometime with how daring she is when she doesn't know how to swim very well.

Treyson Christopher

Treyson is our oldest. He just turned nine and is very big for his age. He is going to tower over me by the time he is twelve i just know it. He is very smart for his age and reads way above his grade level. He is a very big help to me and I love and appreciate him very much.
