VACATION LONGING!!!

The beauty of Hawaii! About this time last year we were in paradise, and I am dreaming about how great of a vacation it was! I miss the awesome palm trees, and the beautiful sunsets!

The amazing hotel with out of this world service! With a private beach!

The scrumptious food, especially breakfast. (Macadamia nut waffles.)

The beach! We love to just soak up the sun and listen to the ocean! Ahhhhhh!

The company is the best part, I love to hang out with my vacation buddies! Nothing better.

Dining at night with friends at some amazing resturants! Yum Yum

Of course for Jared it is the golf in paradise!

VICTORY FOR THE UTES!

Jared wanted to fly down for the Utah game so

bad but the tickets were super expensive and his

dad who was going with him had to fall and break

his ankle! (Thanks a lot) No, it worked out good

and we all had a great time throwing a party.

Jared said since he wasn't going that he wanted to

have a party the right way!

We got the ribs, the wings, chips and dip, crackers

and cheese, salad, drinks, snacks, and pie! Way

to much food, but it was so fun. I even watched the

game and I hate football! The Utes played so good

and my husband was in heaven! He is like a little kid

on Christmas morning!

GO UTES!

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!

You gotta love the expressions of kids on Christmas morning! It is so much fun!!!

I love Christmas Eve! It is my family's tradition to celebrate family, food, Santa claus, and best of all, the true spirit of Christmas! My mom and dad always do to much for us. My dad always presents a spiritual part for us all. This year was extra special!

My mom had written letters to every child and grandchild and it was a very emotional night. My dad presented us each with a gift him and my mom had decided on before she passed away. Wow, it was very hard, but I was sure glad to be with my family during such a special night. My mom was missed so much... we all went to the cemetery later that night to put a rose on her grave and to light a candle. It was sooooo cold and super windy but my dad said who would like to make a snow angel by grandma? As he fell into the snow to make an angel, Kailey said she wanted to and so did Uncle Justin. It was neat, I just wish I would have had my camera!

This is the famous train that Uncle Justin leads all the grand kids in every Christmas. They look forward to singing as they prance around the room doing the train.

My sneaky mom was able to get this amazing bear for my dad (with some help) without him knowing. She knew that he wanted it for years, and wanted to get it for him as a gift from her to show how much she loved him. It was neat to have that delivered on Christmas Eve and watch my dad's expression as he read her card.

WINTER IS HERE!

New snowfall is so exciting for kids. Kailey and Bry were so super excited to bundle in their hats, gloves, and coats to get to school. We really had a lot of snow and it just kept coming down. How fun it would be to be a kid again and get so excited about the little things in life.

Off to school!

KAILEY & BECKEM!

Kailey loves Beckem! We were lucky enough to be able to watch Beckem a few times and he it so cute. He loves to laugh and play with kids. Well, he really thinks Kailey is funny. She eats it up and loves to tease him. She thinks she is a little mom and tries to pack him all around. Thanks Kilee for sharing him with us, we love Beckem.
