Merry Christmas!

I love everything about the Holidays! I am in the best mood for pretty much two months straight. Josh even loves it more than I do.. And thats sayin somethin! So put us together and it gets crazy! Anyways Christmas was great! We are so blessed. Hailey is old enough to understand Santa now, so that was fun! I also tried to teach her about the true meaning of Christmas.. She got upset everytime. All she knows is that when I explain that Christmas is Jesus's birthday, it meant it wasn't hers.. Poor thing was so confused about Birthdays and Christmas because hers is on the 27th. lol, but she did have a good Christmas! She was so shocked when she walked into the living room and saw all her gifts. We had to tell her it was ok to touch them! Kids are so dang fun! We opened and played with toys all morning, had a yummy breakfast, took a nap, and headed up to see my parents. We spent the whole week with them! So nice to have a week off and spend it with family!

Cute story I don't want to forget..

Josh and I had been trying to find a family to help this Christmas.. Well I was taking Hailey into daycare one night and they had an Angel Tree. I thought this was just the cutest idea and so we picked a few names off to shop for. The next day I took Hailey shopping, while explaining to her we were picking out presents for kids that needed them. I ended up buying a lot of coats, gloves, hats, ect.. We got home and I was wrapping these presents and telling her how happy the girls and boys would be on Christmas because some kids don't have coats, and toys. So I continue wrapping and about 10 minutes later Hailey comes walking out of her room with every single coat she owns and told me she got them for the kids. My heart melted! She reminds me how blessed we are and how I want to help families in need all year. Kids have a cute way of reminding us of whats really important. She would give all her coats away without hesitation. I want to be more like that. Anyways, We just love her!


We go to the Temple every year to see the nativity and lights










Hailey loved making a ginger bread house!

Thanksgiving 2011

It was my families year for Thanksgiving, so we headed up North! We were able to stay at my parents for 3 days with ALL of us.. It was wild, but so fun! It has been forever since we have had all the kids and grandkids together. Good thing my parents upgraded to a bigger house this year! Dinner and desert were super yummy :) Black Friday shopping was A-mazing!! So nice to have a long weekend and spend it with people we love. <3

We also got to be there for Easton's Blessing


The Grandkids got to help put up Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas Tree!

Little Mermaid

So almost two months ago we bought our tickets for The Little Mermaid @ Tuacahn. It's been sold out all summer! We finally got to see it last week, AMAZING! seriously we loved it. We were worried about Hailey and a 3 hour play, but she sat on the edge of her seat lovin every minute of it! We didn't get home until like midnight! But it was worth it, Hailey just loves Ariel! Anyway, you should totally go! We are going to try and see Greece next month :)

Demolition Derby

Ok, Josh and I LOVE Demolition Derbys! I don't understand why anyone wouldn't, it's a super fun time! Josh and I always pick our fav car and make little bets on whose will win. (mine won!) hailey was so concerned at first haha, she kept saying, " oh noo Mom! " but she got in the spirit real quick and loved all the action!



lol, Josh's car...

Princess Days at Paul Mitchell

I absolutely love when my school does Princess Days! Of course I had Josh bring Hailey in. We do the girls hair, makeup, nails, and we make a craft while watching Tangled and eating snacks! Fun day right!? Hailey had the time of her life.. She is always asking to come to school with me now. I wish she could! She is my little princess!!

Super excited Future Professionals!

Twinkle Stars!

So Josh and I have a little ballerina on our hands! We signed Hailey up for Twinkle Stars dance class last month and I can't believe how much she LOVES it! I have to admit I get excited about it to. Josh stops by every week for a few minutes to see how she has improved before he heads to the gym. Of course she can't do a routine, but she tries so hard to do the moves and follow her teacher. I just want her to have the experience. We get to practice at home a little bit to, So fun!
