Getting in The Spirit Of Christmas.....

I am so excited that it is Christmas Season.

I have been begging Paul for weeks now to let me put up the Christmas Decorations and play Christmas Music. He caved in early on the Christmas music, but said the decorations couldn't go up until after Thanksgiving. So my mind was set that the day after Thanksgiving would be the day, well after a long day of shopping (started at 4:30 am) I was exhausted. So for FHE we got the tree out, and had a great evening with

Tree Decorating, lots of festive music and even "Santa's Milk" (egg nog).

The kids loved every moment of it!

I lOvE LOVE LoVe this time of year!

A Lot To Be Thankful For...

Thanksgiving has come & gone,

and has reminded me of all I have to be thankful for.

I am so grateful for:

My Husband who I love so much,

My 2 adorable kids who bring me so much joy,

A place to call home,

The Gospel which makes everything make sense,
Parents who set good examples for me and love me unconditionally,

In-Laws who raised my husband to be who he is,

Time to spend with my family,

3 sisters who are my best friends,

A brother who is so great and puts up with having 4 sisters,

Friends,

The wonderful freedoms that we enjoy in this country...

The list goes on & on.

I am so grateful for so many things, I feel so blessed.

I love this season that reminds us to be Thankful!

Happy Birthday To You Both!

Happy Birthday

Dad & Alan!

My brother Alan (Gregory Alan Jr) and my Dad have the same birthday and the same name.

My mom had him by a scheduled C-Section, and waited to set the date for my Dad's birthday.

Any of you that have had babies know that takes a "Good Woman" to wait.

Alan (a.k.a Uncle Bud) we wish you a

Happy 16th Birthday!

Drive safe, take a cute girl out on a date, and Enjoy Life!

We Love You!

Dad we love you too, and wish you a

Happy Birthday!

You are such a wonderful Dad, Pa (grandpa) and such a good example to everyone who knows you.

Thank you for being You!

We Love You Both "The Most"!

15 Minutes Of Fame....

So yesterday when we were at In-N-Out the

Arizona Daily Star

was there for the Grand Opening. They took this darling picture of Raegan and it was in the paper today!

Call Me Crazy....

Yep, finally...we have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the

In-N-Out Grand Opening!

So of course to avoid lines, we showed up at 9:30 am and NO LINES!

So we had a healthy breakfast (I guess you could say)

consisting of "Animal Style" Hamburgers, fries

and of course Milkshakes!

It was Delicious, Yummy, Fantastic!

Definitely worth all the waiting!

Isn't In-N-Out Fantastic?

Now the waiting, waiting, waiting is for our Movie Theatre...

which looks like it may be close. Yippee!

Hustle On Home, Will Ya?

We Love You Daddy,

Oh Yes We Do!

We Love You Daddy,

And We Feel Like Pooh.

When Your Not With Us We're Blue.

Oh Daddy We Miss You!

Paul is out of town for a short 3 days...

but the kids are going through serious

Daddy withdrawals.

Usually the time passes before they have even noticed that he is gone,

but NOT this time,

"I want Daddy"

"I Miss Daddy"

"Where's Daddy"

To say the least,

We look forward to Daddy coming home tomorrow.

Saturday Night....

After a productive and fun Saturday filled with
Washing Cars, Going to The Gym, Doing Yardwork, Running Errands, Going To the Park, bathing the little ones
Brig & Raegan settled in with Dad to watch a little

College Football!

(I on the other hand took it as the perfect chance to

take a quick break and do this blog)

Again...Happy BIRTH-day Jana!

My Sister Jana had her Baby today!

Isn't he cute?

He weighed in at 6 lbs 4 oz. and they named him

Dallas!

I am so missing Utah right now, because I want to RUN over to the hospital and hold my new nephew and visit my sister!

Congrats Jana & Clint on making a DARLING baby!

Can't wait to meet you baby Dallas!

Happy Birthday Jana!

We Love You and Hope You Have a Great Birthday!

It's my sister Jana's Birthday! She is wonderful and deserves a fantastic birthday!

(she is also about to have a baby ANY day! yaay!)

Pumpkin Carving!

HaPpY hAlLoWeEn!

We finally got to pumpkin carving last night, I know a little late.

But better late then never, right?

Brig had great fun, Raegan was pretty tired, and grouchy. But it was a fun night.

Brig named the Jack-OLantern "Bob"!

(oh and by the way...in the one pic Brig and I are making scary faces)
