So much fun to open gifts!

Merry Christmas!

I love this one of Logan and Gracie! Dang they are so cute!

The Temple Lights

We love going to see the Christmas lights at the temple! Amber went with us this time, she may have regreted her decision shortly after agreeing to it, who knows! We ran into our good friends that moved out of our neighborhood while we were there. We also saw my uncle and his family! Its always so much fun!

Of course we have to add in a crazy shot!

Christmas Eve PJ's

One of our traditions is to open new pajamas on Christmas Eve! I love getting new pajamas and I know it makes me sound like a bum, but I would live in pajamas if I could!

Gracie's First Hair Cut

Well, Gracie's hair has been geeting a little bit out of control lately, although she has some great curl in the back, but we decided to give her a hair cut and sort of even things out. She did pretty well and looks great! The curl unfortunately is gone now but I', hopeful that it will grow back even better!

Dreams

One of my dreams is to be a writer. I don't know if I have what it takes or not, but I feel like I have the beginnings to some great book ideas. I have tried it a few times and then I get discouraged and I quit, maybe one day I will stick with it and be the next J.K. Rowling. I bet that I could write a great romantic comedy that could be made into a movie. What do you think?

Rolls

I am waiting for my dough to rise so that I can shape it into rolls and put them into the freezer for tomorrow! I like to do that when I am in charge of rolls for family dinner on Sundays so that I can come home from church and take a little nap. Unfortunately it's already 11:30 PM. I guess it will be another late night. It seems like we have a lot of those!:(

The Mesa Arizona Temple

Thanksgiving

I love this time of year! I love Thanksgiving and all of the food! I am excited to try a few new pie recipes. I am mostly excited for the feelings that it brings! I have been so blessed in my life! I have such a wonderful family! My husband is a good man and a very hard worker! He honors his priesthood and uses it to bless our home and family! I have four amazing kids who are all healthy and happy(most of the time). I am so grateful to have a comfortable home in which to live and that I can feel the spirit here. I am grateful to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that it is true and I would be lost without it. I am so thankful for a living prophet and for the scriptures! I am so grateful for the ward that I live in and the wonderful neighbors that I have! I think that right now we have the best home teacher that we have ever had and he just happens to be our neighbor. I am mostly grateful for my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ! He is my best friend and I am grateful for the atoning sacrifice that he mad for me!

The Boys of Fall

Kenny Chesney has a song called the boys of fall and it is about football. I love it! I have my own boy of fall now with Noah. He is playing tackle football with the San Tan Youth Football League. He is #14 on the Special Forces and does an amazing job! He is very tough and eager to learn and better himself. He loves to come home and play with Brock and Logan. In a few years, I am sure that we will be spending our entire Saturday at the fields watching these three boys of fall!

Sugar and Spice

It is so much fun to have another girl in house! I don't feel so out numbered. She is truly a joy! We love Gracie!

My Guys

I love this picture! I think that is shows each of their personalities so well! They love to play and have a great time together!

Bragging Rights

I know that every mother thinks taht she has the most beautiful and wonderful children, but in my case, it is the truth, I mean look at these faces. I wish that I could some how tell them just how special they each are individually and how very much I love them. I have so many hopes and wishes for them, the first and foremost that they may know of their Saviors love for them and that they will make it back to Him with honor so that we can all sit down together in Heaven as a family!

Gracie

Gracie is such a fun addition to our family! We absolutely love having her around and now that she is mobile, she is a lot happier! She has been so much fun to dress up. She certainly has her brothers wrapped around her little finger. I can't wait to watch her personality develop as she grows!

Logan

Logan is a complete joy to have in our home. He is so loving and is constantly giving mommy and daddy kisses and hugs. He loves to play with his sister and sometimes plays a little too rough. He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Toodles. He loves his cousins. he also loves to go to nursery.

Brock

Brock is so much fun. He is so great at making Gracie smile. He loves to play soccer and help Noah practice football. He is always smiling and giggling (even when he is getting in trouble), but he still has a sensitive side. We love to watch him play soccer with the Orange Fangs!

Noah

Noah is such a joy right now! He is so helpful and smart! He is playing tackle football with the Special Forces and he is doing so well! He loves to play with his brothers and sister. He does great in school and we love his energy! He gets baptized in just a few months! He is such a great kid!

Blogger Blues

I can't believe that my last post was in 2009. I am a lame blogger, but I will resolve to do a little bit better, no promises.
