Sledding!

 New Years day Dylan's brother invited us to go sledding with them.  We borrowed some old snow pants from them for Oakley (they were pretty big on her) and we headed to the hill. Oakley looked at the hill, climbed up it with Dylan, and screamed the whole way down haha! She didn't want to go again after that but she still had fun watching all the other kids go!


Better late then never!


So we finally got our card reader back so I can finally post pictures!
  I'll start with New Years!  We went down to Tooele to go hang out with Dylan's brother and we ended up going to Tracks which is a bar/grill place.  Some band was playing that night but I don't remember the name haha! We had a great time!!

What's the point!!

Please tell me what the point of cleaning up toys is? I clean up after Oakley takes a nap and as soon as she wakes up my house is a wreck again! Oh the joys of having a two year old... But I guess the good thing is she's old enough to help me pick and she sings, "clean ump, clean ump, everybody, clean ump" while she helps! Oh I love her!

Christmas!




Oakley showing off her new pretty rings!

Going through her stocking!

We had a great Christmas this year! Dylan was able to be home even though it was his 2 weeks on! My parents and Jeremy and his family came up the night before and we all opened up our presents at my house Christmas morning. Then we cooked a big breakfast for everyone.
Oakley was so fun this year! When I went in her room to get her she was so excited to know that Santa came! We made her hold hands with her cousin Owen and walk out together to see all the presents under the tree. They did their stockings first then they got to open one present while we waited for the rest of the family. Kane fell asleep in the middle of everything. I guess this year just wasn't too exciting for him but he did love all of his presents after he woke up! Everyone got great gifts and it was nice to be with everyone and have a good time!

The Grandkids!






So my mom wanted to get grandkid pictures for her Christmas cards and man oh man was that a day! It was so hard to get all of them to pay attention and be happy but I guess we got some good ones haha!!

Kane's Blessing

November 20th we blessed Kane and since my sister Brittany's son was born about 2 weeks after Kane we blessed them on the same day. It was a Saturday and we went to Britt and Dave's church and had their bishop bless both of them then after we had a yummy dinner! It was a great night!



Finally an update!

I know its been a while and I've just been lazy but I guess I should update now. First off, THANKSGIVING!

We went up to Star Valley, Wyoming to my mom's aunt's house (which was amazing!!) and had the most amazing Thanksgiving I think i've ever had!The kids played pin the hat on the turkey and my mom's aunt (Teresa) cooked the entire meal and dessert! We spent the night up there then drove back home to be in time for Black Friday!!





Black Friday was hectic as usual but I got some great stuff!! Mostly Christmas presents for my family and a couple things for myself ;) I started up in Park City at the outlets with my mom and sisters and then went to Walmart with just my sisters. We got there a couple hours early to see where everything was then as soon as it was time we grabbed our things and headed to the front to go wait in line to check out. All in all it was way fun and i'll go back every year!
