Christmas 2008 Lovin' every minute of it!

What a fun filled December. We spent a lot of time with family dipping chocolates, eating holiday treats, doing nativities, flying above the temple lights, and just being together. I had to tuck Savanna and Macy back into bed on Christmas morning because it was 2AM. Crazy kids. I know that I never did that growing up (NOT) What joy it is when you are a kid and filled with the excitement of the holidays. AHHHH time for the new year. Such a strange lull that occurs between the holidays. It makes one reflect on life and all of the priorities to fulfill. I am so thankful for my family. We are ready to head into the new year!

Ahhhh....December!

Thanksgiving at Rocky Point was a blast for the kids. Beautiful weather down there. We are quickly gearing up for Christmas and love to get cards and photos from friends and family. We love you guys!

Skip Turkey Day?

So, I have actually broken one of my house rules. I have put up christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. I have good reasons. We will be out of town for Thanksgiving and Dec. 1st is on Monday. It was necessary and fun and is getting me into the spirit of things. Well, I can't believe that Christmas is around the corner. the Halloween party at church was awesome and now I have to plan Breakfast with Santa. Good times. Being the party girl at church is kind of fun, except that our ward is expanding by the minute and the amount of people in attendance is staggering. I can't wait for the Valentine's Adult dinner . The kids are good, we went up to Showlow last two weekends ago and arrived to find 3 inches of snow on the ground. It all melted by the afternoon , but what a beautiful sight it was.

More Good Stuff

This weekend has been eventful. Macy and Savanna were in a gymnastics competition on SAturday. They did awesome! We then went to a family Halloween Party at the Faas'. It has been non stop candy ever since. Now, I am busting a move on the Ward Halloween party set for this Wednesday. It is requiring a ton of work. Life is good and flying by so fast.

This picture is on Chad's 3rd Birthday. So fun!

Better Late Than Never!

Here are some fun pics from the past summer. We had a great time up in UTah with friends and family. I have to say, one of our highlights was rednecking it at the Delta, UT Fourth of July Celebration with the Parade and exciting Demolition Derby. Tate and Chad were mesmerized for four hours. Pretty good stuff! We visited the St. George Temple, Thanksgiving Point, and lots more! Good times in UTAH. The weather was great and we didn't even miss the heat in AZ. The only reason we came back was to start school. BuMMer!

OCTOBER ALREADY?

Okay, I don't really know what is happening here. My time is slipping away like sands through the hourglass.........so are the days of our lives. LOL I can't seem to keeep it up anymore. Who are these supermoms that can get it all done and look like fashionistas to boot. The blog has fallen to the wayside, and I was so pumped about it in the begiinning. I guess I got looking at other people's blogs and felt completely inferior. Well, that seems to be the way I feel most of the time. Pretty hard on myself and never quite measuring up. What is this? A couch evaluation. Snap out of it, sister. That is just you know who trying to distract me from what is most important in life. Like reading the NIENIE recovery pages and truly having gratitude for my family and my life. The whole picture and beyond. Let us , meaning me, be more grateful, more humble, more everything that Pres. Hinkley used to say. I need to post it on my forehead everyday. Hope you have a great day too! No, don't have a great day............MAKE it a great day!
