{Christmas Morning}




I LOVE Christmas morning! I was so excited to get up with the kids, even though it was super early this year. Jett loved his red car Santa left for him. The kids loved all their presents. After opening presents, we went to my moms for our traditional Christmas breakfast cooked by my adorable Grandpa Walt. Sure love him!!!:) Then we opened more presents, my mom totally spoiled me rotten, as usual:) We missed our sweet Grandma Pearl this year, but I know she was with us.


{Christmas Eve}

We had a great Christmas Eve! In the afternoon, Adrian picked up my Christmas present, a new black Suburban. Bye! Bye! crappy van that kept stalling!:) I absolutely LOVE it, it is loaded and the trunk space is fabulous! We went to my moms for dinner later that day, it was the yummiest. Thanks mom for making me turkey and stuffing, because I was craving it. We attempted to do our traditional nativity scene. Complete dysfunction!:) But so fun. Then we opened up Christmas jammies. I got really cute jammies this year, so my only goal was to get a good photo of all of us in them. The photo up top is the best, but oh well, that's us!!!:)

{Gingerbread Houses}







A couple of days before Christmas, we went to Jamies house to decorate gingerbread houses and make cookies. We were pretty brave with 3 three year olds, 2 newborns and 3 other kids. Derek and Bryson ate enough candy to last them a lifetime and I am pretty sure Jett had way too much too. The kids love being with their cousins and everyone had a great time until it came time to clean up!:)

{Sweet little friends}


These boys are the CUTEST!!!:) Jett and his friend Cal were born on the same day just a couple of hours apart. They were so cute together last year at Christmas and they were super cute this year! It is so crazy how much they have grown! Jett loves his little pal Cal. :)

{Ugly Sweaters}







We had a little get together with some of our good friends for Christmas. This year we decided to make things funny by wearing ugly Christmas sweaters & shirts. Boy were they all UGLY!!!
Paul, Rachels husband, definitely won the ugly part, his was so funny! :) We had a great time being silly and eating lots of yummy food. The kids all had a great time too!

{Kylie's Dance Fundraiser}

My Kylie is raising money for her dance team. She is selling Tony's pizzas (large for $7.75) and Scentsy products. You can choose from many different toppings for the pizzas and they freeze really well. They are my favorite!!! If you are interested let me know. If you are interested in Scentsy, I can get you a catalog to look at. Thanks!!! :)

{Pumpkin Patch}

















On Saturday, we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins. We got to ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor out to the patch. It made Dereks life complete, I have never seen a more giddy child! We got some good pumpkins and everyone was happy.

{We LOVE Goats!}







































We went to the Utah State Fair this year, and it was so much fun! Our favorite part each year is definitely the goats. We love them!!! Derek especially, he is my animal lover for sure. He's just like his mommy! He loved riding the ponies and they each got to ride one ride. The rides at the fair scare me, they don't seem to safe, not to mention the folks running them. It was a fun day!!!

{My 3 Little Ones}







Since Blake is in afternoon kindergarten this year, I get to spend every morning with my 3 youngest boys. Sometimes it is really hard because Blake and Derek are ultra competitive and like to fight a lot. But most days are so fun with them! When they are getting along, it is fabulous. I really dislike afternoon kindergarten because Blake was still taking long afternoon naps, and now he doesn't get them. But, it is nice to have my 3 little boys with me in the morning. I love them so very, very much!



{Happy 95th Birthday Grandpa Walt!}











September 11th was my Grandpa Walts 95th Birthday. We celebrated at the super yummy Texas Roadhouse. Grandpa was such a good sport and got on the saddle! I am so thankful that my grandpa is around to be a part of my kids lives. They adore him, especially Kylie. She is definitely grandpas girl! We love you Grandpa Walt!!!

{Back to School}




I'm a litte behind, things have been SO busy. Ethan, Kylie, and Blake have started their school year. I was a little sad to see the freedom of getting up in the morning to do whatever we wanted go, but it has been actually really nice. My kids are so much happier when they are busy. Ethan is in 6th grade, can't believe it! Ky is in 1st grade, I was a little sad to have her gone all day. Blake is in Kindergarten, he had to be put in afternoon and I hate it because he is used to having at least a 2 hour nap and he is somewhat crabby when he gets home. They all have fabulous teachers and I think it will be a great year!!! :)

{Baby Name}


We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and I am so happy to say that our sweet baby is super healthy and is still a girl!!! I have been a little hestitant to buy girl things and really get into the 'girl' thing. But now it is 100% for sure a little girl!!!:)
Her name will be Lillian Pearl, but we will call her Lily. Adrian loves the name Lily and Pearl is for my sweet grandma Pearl who passed away in July. I knew she would send me a baby girl!:)

{JDRF Walk For A Cure}













Saturday was the JDRF walk for a cure at Wheeler Farms. It was so much fun! The kids had a blast and we all had a great time seeing the animals. A lot of money was raised to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, which is such a crappy disease! I am so proud of my Ethan for handling his diabetes so well and never complaining, he is such a trooper! :)
Also, thanks to everyone who donated this year. We really appreciate it!!!
