Snow Flakes

Look at these cool snow flakes that Ryan made he is only 6!!!


Can you tell who is on them?

Parker's Christmas Program

Parker's preschool class had a little Christmas concert. It was so fun!!! I love that he is coming out of his shell. He has a couple of little buddies in class & during the performance they were trying to see who could sing the loudest. LOL!!! I loved it. He use to be so shy there was no way he would have done this before. I am so grateful that my kids have such good friends. I think that makes such a huge difference in life. I am so grateful for Parker's Preschool Teacher she has helped him so much.

Parker & his two friends Ty & Ryan

The whole class

Parker being a cute crazy little boy

Christmas Lights

We took the boys down to the Riverwoods shopping center to meet there cousins & to see the lights. I have never been before & I have to say that it was really cool. They do a great job with the lights & decorations.Plus it was free! We even went & saw Santa & he was way nicer then the one at the mall. They also had a free carriage ride. The line for that was a little crazy, but it was fun none the less. They have a really fun toy store there too. It has a lot of vintage type toys. It was a little busy so I will have to take the boys another time & wonder the store.

McKay of course was to cool for Santa. But the other 3 loved it!!!



We almost did not all fit

The kids thought this blue tree was really cool. They also found out that if you spin around really fast & stare up at the blue tree it makes you extra dizzy!!!

Preston's Baptizm

I am so proud of my little man that he decided to get Baptized. It was a great day filled with lots of love & family. Thanks for everyone that came & helped make Preston's day so special.

Santa Claus

We had a really fun Ward party this year. They had lots of fun things planned. But I think the thing the boys were the most excited about was to see Santa. Santa even brought he misses this year. My favorite part was the Hay Ride. This year Parker was really looking forward to seeing Santa. He really caught on to the whole "Christmas" thing. McKay was not amused that I made him get into the picture with Santa. But to bad that is why I am the Mom. I sure love my boys & think they are so cute!!!

Preston's 8th Birthday

Crazy to think that Preston is 8. We just hung out as a family on his actual Birthday. Korey was sick & Preston was having a friend party the next day. Then the next week was his Baptism & the whole family was coming to that. Later that night we drove out to Spanish Fork to see the Christmas lights. We drove around it 3 times. You would think after going this many years they would be sick of it. But no ever year they ask to go. I am so glad they do because I still love it too! I am so proud of Preston for all the good things he does & for how smart & talented he is. We love you Preston & I hope you had a great Birthday!!!





The next day Preston had a party with some of his Buddies from school. We took them to Nickel City to play games, lazer tag, & eat pizza. I think it was the greatest idea ever. The boys had a blast, were feed, got prizes, and I had to do nothing. I think this is the way I am doing parties from now on.

Family Pictures

Before we had my huge family pictures taken we had just ours taken. We took them at the State Hospital & I like to think they turned out really cute!!! Thanks Amy for making look so good:)

Family Pictures

I have 4 brothers & 1 sister. Between us there are 23 grand kids, & 4 great grand kids, plus our spouses & the grand kids spouses. All together there are 42 of us. We have not all been together since I was pregnant with McKay & we were a lot smaller family then. We actually were able to get most of us together for Thanksgiving. We were only missing 4 people. My Niece, her Husband, there Daughter, & my Nephew. We figured that this would be a great opportunity to get a family picture done. Who knows when we will have that many of us all together. I am so glad my family was ok with this. It made my Mom & Dad so happy when they got there pictures for Christmas.
Thanks to my crazy family for doing this & for Amy taking picutres of my crazy family!

Halloween 2011

My boys were crazy this year about Halloween. The only one who made up there mind & then stuck with it was Ryan. Preston had a great idea but did not like the way the costume ended up looking last minute. Parker wanted to be hulk for forever & then after he dressed up for preschool he decided he did not like it & went with the monkey. McKay just threw something together last minute so he could come with us & get candy. Oh well in the end they looked cute & had a great day. They would have walked all night if we would have let them. We had a huge group of friends & family & had a great time. Happy Halloween!!!




The whole gang!!!


The end result!!!

School Parade

At my boys school they have a Halloween parade every year & the kids march around the school with there class showing off there cute costumes as the parents line the halls. It is always so much fun! I do have to say it was a little weird not to have McKay there. But Ryan & Preston looked great!

Ryan was a little shy about how big his costume was!

Preston changed his mind the night before & this is what we came up with!

Parker had to get in on the action too. Notice no makeup!
