12!!? Happy Birthday Mikayla (march)

So I realize this was almost a year ago but I'm trying to update as much as possible... I can't believe I have a 12 year old! She is such a beautiful young woman who has shown such strength in character and grown spiritually so much in the last few months! She is extremely organized and kind of a clean freak! She is extremely responsible and has such a contagious laugh. I am so so proud of her and love watching her grow! I love you SO much!!!

Crazy girls!

We played lots of games had a scavenger hunt and a few contests. After the girls all warmed up to each other they danced and were just out right wild! She had a late night with movies and popcorn and night games!

Bear Lake (March)

We decided to take a weekend vacation with our good friends and head up to Bear Lake. Now every once in a while we get some luck and have nice warm 'sweatshirt' weather... ya, not this time. We had 2 fourwheelers though and the boys LOVED getting all muddy and racin' around... As for us girls, we stayed inside by the fire ate LOTS of food and played games... Ahhh... so nice!!

Soldier Hollow Sledding

Part of our Christmas gift from my parents was tickets to Soldier Hollow. It was so so much fun and the kids had a blast! It was a perfect day and we made so many great memories!
Thanks Mom and Dad!

Christmas...

So Christmas was so much fun... as always! I loved getting out all my decoration, they haven't all been together for a couple years! I got the front room tree decorated and one night after work I came home and the family room tree was finished, by the kids. The actually did a great job! I just had to move a few things around mostly from the bottom to the top...


Christmas eve was at Mom's house. We had an amazing dinner and did our traditional nativity program. My dad had met a man at Costco a few days before who was from England, here skiing with his 2 daughters. he invited them over for the night. We all loved listening to their accents and learning about them. The girls were 8 and 12... I think...

Ava the Angle

It is always sooo crazy having 25 people opening presents at the same time. We try to organize it the best we can but the kids all go CRAZY! It was strange opening everything Christmas Eve. It just never is the same. We stayed home Christmas day, something we NEVER do, it was nice and relaxing!




Jason had the kids hunt for their big present with clues all over the house. The kids loved it and were very spoiled!!!! Overall it was a GREAT Christmas!
