1 year ago & new......

a year ago yesterday i lost my grandma. she was one of the sweetest grandma's ever! i can't believe it's been a whole year, it's gone by so fast. i miss her a lot but know that she is out of pain and in a happier place. i also know that she is lookin' out for us and want us to be happy.

on that note onto the "new" portion of this post.

i am getting a new niece by the end of the week. she was born yesterday in maryland. my sister becca and her family have been chosen to adopt this sweet little girl. they are waiting to hear back from the agency for more information so that they can fly out to get here and bring her home. i can't wait to meet her!! i'm super excited for them and that our little guy will have someone his age to play with!! i will post pics when i get them from her.

Christmas 2009

We had an amazing christmas! The kids have told us that santa did such a good job with their toys! Of course that makes us feel really good to know that santa got it right!:) Here are a few pictures of their christmas morning.(they let us sleep in until 9:30 woohoo!)


Here is trey w/his basketballs to go with his indoor basketball net.


On his 4wheeler


Elle on her princess bike.


She got her heart guitar!!!


Trey was being so good and took elle for a ride on his 4wheeler. As soon as he went into get a drink she hopped onto it and took off like a mad woman!! She got mad at us when we made her give it back.


riding together


they are sooo cute!


elle in the drivers seat


she never looked back! :)

Hope you all had a great christmas too!

Here comes Santa Claus

Here is elle sittin' on santa's lap at trey's preschool program. We couldn't get trey to go near him. Thanks kacie for taking her up there and getting this adorable pic! Merry Christmas everyone!

it's a......

it's a boy!! we're all super excited! he wasn't shy at all and there are no questions as to what will be popping out! :) we got a picture of him with his mouth open and his foot right by his head. it's adorable, and amazing that you can get such a clear picture of them. the kids were in awe of being able to see it and to hear the heart beat. next up is coming up with a name. i think i may be a little out numbered in that department.

december

wow it's been a busy few weeks. i can't believe christmas is in less than 2 weeks and i still am not ready for it to be here. we did have my work christmas party on friday night. it was a lot of fun. we had pizza factory food, department skits and the wccc staff won the department of the year award for the city!! what a shock that was for us!! my lifeguards were amazing in their skit as syncronized swimmers on land. as soon as i get the video for it i will post it on here!!

the kids have been busy with preschool and every time we get a hint of snow trey goes crazy. he loves snow and in st. george you just don't get very much of it. we've decided that we are going to take the kids tubing up at brian head. i can't wait! they have their preschool christmas programs this thursday and friday and it will be sooo cute!

in baby news we find out what we are having on wed. we keep having to tell trey that there is a chance that it could be a girl. in his mind it is a boy and that is that. we will keep you all posted!!!

Thanksgiving

We were lucky and got to have 2 thanksgivings this year. One with cale's family and one with mine. We had cale's on the sunday before thanksgiving and the other on thanksgiving day. Both were fantastic and oh so yummy!!! I have been craving pumpkin pie and finally got my fill of it with those 2 days. It was so much fun to be able to spend time with both of our families and I know that the kids are going through withdrawls from not having anyone to play with. There is nothing better than family especially during the holidays.

Now it's time to go cut down a tree(since cale doesn't believe in fake trees) and get to decorating it. My job according to trey is to get the toys. Cale is incharge of the tree and daniel, trey and elle are incharge of the wrapping paper. I'm super excited for christmas because trey and elle are at an age where it is so much fun and their excitment for christmas is contagious. Hope you all enjoy your holidays.
