Orange Bread

I went up to my mom's today and made Orange bread with my mom. It was so fun to bake with my mom and sisters Amanda and Jennifer. I love this bread and it was fun to visit and work on it together!

Maisey's cute Christmas gift

Maisey made this cute jar at Preschool for Kevin and I for Christmas. It is so cute and I love the picture of her in the jar. Too cute! Thanks Maisey!

Santa

The kids got to see Santa again at the kids Christmas party at Kevin's work. Maisey was so excited and waited patiently to sit on his lap. Santa gave them some really cool stuff. Maisey and Trey were so excited to see Santa and loved every minute of it.

Decorating sugar cookies

My sister Amanda came down to help me make some goodies for Christmas. I got stuff for the kids to decorate sugar cookies. They had fun making their own cookies. It was a lot of fun. The kids piled on lots of stuff especially Maisey!

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has a great Christmas! I feel so blessed in my life and love this time of year so that we can celebrate the birth of our Savior.

All bundled up for school

Maisey loves school! She loves her teacher and her friends and always comes home so excited to tell me what she did that day.

Kevin's Birthday

Kevin turned thirty four on Friday. We celebrated his birthday on Wednesday so the kids could celebrate with us. We got a cake and ice cream (more for the kids) and I love this picture because I was trying to get a good shot of him blowing out the candles and I wasn't ready and he accidentally blew them out before I was ready. Kev and I went to dinner at Roosters. On Friday he had his work party so went to that. Happy Birthday Kevin!

Fun with the cousins

We had a good time staying with my brother and his family in California. All the cousins played really good together and I don't remember any fights. It was wonderful! Trey found some scissors while we were there and decided to cut his hair. he said that it was getting long. We all had a good laugh. I am glad he did it instead of Maisey.


All the kids had so much fun taking our flash nights at night in the backyard and finding frogs. I think this was the highlight at being at my brother's house. They were so excited! I think everyone caught one and they made such fun memories with their cousins. my niece Ella even kissed one!


The kids had fun playing with sidewalk chalk. Yeah is was warm enough to be in bare feet and playing with chalk! Yeah for warm weather!


For my niece Brynlee's birthday the got a bounce house all day. It was tons of fun for the kiddo's.


Maisey and Ella had fun putting cheez nips on each other. The things that they come up with is so funny!


All tired out! The kids would be wore out at night after playing all day. The girls fell asleep watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We had so much and I had the hardest time leaving them. I wish we lived closer!

Thanksgiving 2011

My brother Jeremy treated us to a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner at Harris Ranch. The food was absolutely amazing... Smoked Prime Rib, turkey, pasta, potato's... everything you could ever think of. It was such a nice place and was so much fun to have most of the family there. We were in our own separate room and right outside was a beautiful courtyard with waterfall fountains and orange trees! We had a blast stuffing our faces and visiting with our family. I am so thankful for my family and that I was able to spend Thanksgiving in such a beautiful place surrounded by people I love. Thanks Jeremy your the best!

Brynlee's Baptism

It was nice because when we were in California we got to be there to celebrate Brynlee's birthday and her baptism. She asked Kevin to talk at the baptism. Kevin and Brynlee have a special bond and she says he is her favorite uncle which I think is so cute! Everything went wonderful and I was so glad that we were able to share in her special day!

Random Pics at Disneyland

Goofy's Kitchen

We went to Goofy's kitchen and had dinner. The kids loved all of the characters and the dinner was amazing! So much fun and such fun memories!

Jedi Training

Wyatt did the Jedi training and got to fight Darth Mal. It was fun to watch him go through the training. He had a blast!

More Disneyland

Maisey had to get Minnie ears just like her cousin Brynlee. One of the best parts of Disneyland was spending time with family. My kids loved going on rides and spending time with their cousins!. It was so much fun!

The Teacups

One of my favorite pictures of the whole trip! This is what Disneyland is all about. Trey was so happy! You won't catch me on the Teacups, so I was grateful that Jeremy, Shawn, and Taylor took the kiddos. Trey and Maisey had a blast! Ella didn't like how fast they were turning them so cried for most of it. So fun!
