Christmas Eve in Bunkerville

Christmas Eve was hilarious. Getting all 20 some kids to do the Nativity and pay attention was quiet the challenge, but it was for sure worth it. What a great night, Chinese food, brownies with peppermint ice cream for dessert and everyone hanging out in their Christmas P.J's. Such a great night!

Bunkerville

We had such a great time in Bunkerville Blake was loving being outside and riding on Grandpas new 4 wheeler. In Bunkerville on Christmas eve the fire department takes Santa around the town and delivers treats! Blake was Obsessed! All day and night he was talking about it! We had so much fun!

Disneyland

We had such a great time in California! There was one day where it rained all day, but I really can't complain because we have NEVER had bad weather at Disneyland. We had so much fun hanging out with friends and being together as a family. I love this tradition! Blake and Baylee were great and loved every minute of it. After a busy week.... we headed to Bunkerville

Disneyland....here we come!

We are so excited for Disneyland we love going this time of year. We leave tomorrow and Blake is so excited he can't wait to see Buzz and Woody. He hasn't stopped asking about them. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and we'll see you all next year!

The Polar Express

So we have been doing festive stuff all week and it has been so much fun. On wed we took Blake on the Polar Express and he LOVED it we sang songs, read the story, had hot chocolate, saw Santa and his favorite part...we got to ride on a train! We pulled up and when Blake spotted that train he couldn't get out of his seatbelt quick enough. I love the Holidays and everything that goes along with it. We leave for Disneyland tomorrow so I hope everyone has a great Holiday!

Gingerbread Houses

I love having friends who also have husbands that work late and I guess that have identical schedules. Mickell and I decided to get together one night that the guys were working late and make these beautiful houses. It was REALLY fun. Blake and Chase were very serious about it and couldn't be happier making them. I think Blake ate more candy that night then he has in his life and was thrilled about it! He would stick a piece of candy on the house and then one in his mouth...and so on all night. Tessa and Baylee were great they for the most part observed and watched their brothers! Blake tried giving Baylee some candy and luckily I got to her before she put it in her mouth. I guess I am just proud of him for sharing?

Seeing Santa

Shannon and I took the kids to see Santa while she was here and it was very entertaining! Blake was SOOO excited to see Santa, but the second we did he wanted nothing to do with him....after a little bribing and convincing he finally sat with him. Baylee was great she didn't know what was going on and Greyson was not very happy about it! It was so funny to see them all at different stages. By the way the Santa at PTC is great!

Baylee 7 1/2 months

So Baylee is almost 8 months, but I thought I would post a little about what she has been doing in her 7th month. Baylee is SUPER happy she is sleeping through the night and I am no longer breast feeding. There is no one that can make her laugh more then her big brother Blake and is always so content no matter who has her. Her smile is contagious and she is such a delight to have in our home! She has started eating baby food and isn't a huge fan of it, she sits up, rolls over coos and says dada, she is scooting a little bit, but tends to get frustrated when she can't get to what she wants. She loves to grab my face and nuzzle me and I seriously melt every time she does this! I love my Baylee girl so much!

Utah Jazz

So on Friday night after Dave got off work we headed up to SLC to do some Christmas shopping with friends. We decided rather than exchanging gifts to each other we would take that money and sponsor a family. It was so fun. After shopping we went to the Jazz game we got there a little early, but it all worked out and was such a fun night!

Christmas Stories

So for the month of December I decided that each night I was going to read a Christmas book to the kids. When i was home for Thanksgiving my mom gave me the book the Elf on the Shelf. It is Super cute and fun! I highly recommend it! That is what got me started, but I also have so many Christmas stories and I thought it would be a fun tradition..... So last night I come in the family room and found Blake reading Baylee a story. Everyday he amazes me with how sweet he is to her. He is such a great older brother and absolutely adores and LOVES his little sister.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had such a great time in Denver! We are back and I felt like we were only gone for a few days. The time always goes so fast at home. We had the whole family there for Thanksgiving, did lots of shopping, ate a lot, saw a great movie, went to Little Billy's baptism which was so nice and celebrated a little bit of Christmas by opening some gifts. My parents got Blake a really cool bike which he LOVES! I am so sad to be home, but am definitely looking forward to Christmas! and Disneyland....

by the way how cute is my sister pregnant! She looks amazing and definitely has that glow

Warm Weather + Park = Bath Time

65 degrees in November.... I LOVE it!

Grateful.

So last night Dave and I put up our Christmas decorations, it's never too early right? So anyway it was just so fun being together as a family and I couldn't help, but think of how grateful I am for such an amazing husband and kids. I am so blessed. I feel so fortunate to have such a great family who are all healthy and happy, a beautiful home to live in and amazing friends. I love these two and can't believe the love they share for each other!

6 1/2 months

Baylee is seriously the happiest baby, she is so giggly and happy all the time. I absolutely adore her and love watching her grow and seeing her personality develop each day. She is loving sitting up she is even trying to scoot. She brings so much joy into our home!
