BFF Weekend

So I haven't seen Michelle since her wedding in 2007. This week she was in town on business and decided to extend her stay through Saturday so we could catch up. Best thing ever, Stephanie decided on Thursday to fly in from Hawaii on Friday and spend the weekend with us!

My life has truly been blessed due to these girls! LOVE YA!

Bath Time!

So Maggie went for a bath on Saturday and this is what she came home with......

That's right bows in her hair. She is so dang cute!

Major Holiday Update!

So the holidays were wonderful - time spent with family and friends was the best. Just wanted to share some of the good times!

Treb has a rock climbing wall in his classroom how cool is that?

How cute are these little girls - Neva Rae Mullenaux and Lexie Lynn McKenzie (they are Loretta's grand kids) And yes folks that is a real saddle! Neva is sitting on. We love little country bumpkins!

Timilie was her normal self, stuck in the kitchen and I was my normal self of enjoying the holidays by relaxing. Here is proof.

Yes even snow on December 26th for Patti's birthday!

Christmas morning! I loved all of my presents - My bed is so dang cute - stay tuned to further blogs.

And last but not least - nothing says new years eve better than family, pajama's and karaoke!

Richly Blessed

2008 has been full of blessing for me and my family - some of the highlights were:

1. Maggie - the new addition to my family.

2. Many wonderful trips to Disneyland with family and friends

3. My 30th birthday! 30, flirty and thriving!

I continue to be richly blessed - I am grateful for all those who have entered my life and have led by example.

May 2009 be a fantastic year! I look forward to all the memories to come!

Christmas BLOWN UP!

So this is a glimpse of what my neighborhood looks like. Lauren and I can not figure out the reason for the insanity! But we are determined that next Monday we will document in detail our beautiful neighborhood. It sure is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

We wish you a Merry Christams and a Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving Fun!

From Thanksgiving Dinner - to Black Friday - to Temple Lights we had a fantastic time!

Nothing says Thanksgiving to our family - than watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade! We love the man in the red suit at the end.

Thanks to Timilie and Patti for prepping the potatoes - Marie did an excellent job mixing and mashing - but hey - what can go wrong with a pound of butter?

Thanksgiving dinner in style with Marynda's handmade outfit and Timothy's place mat - gotta love elementary art!

After the Black Friday fun - thank you Patti for standing in line at Kohls to make our wait only and hour - we decided to take the kids to Bass Pro for their first outdoor shopping visit - Timothy said it was nothing but AWESOME!

And what better way to end a wonderful weekend than the Mesa Arizona Temple Christmas Lights!

I love my family so much - for my life is richly blessed!
