This was such a fun Christmas because Kaya is kind of starting to understand what is going on!  She defiantly understands the concept of presents!  She loved opening each one... as she opened each one she said "what could it be?" and for some reason she always guessed "medicine"... haha I have no idea why!?

 Trev and I took the kids to temple square to see the lights.  It was a really chilly night so I made sure to bundle Kaya up really good... probably too good because she ended up looking like the kid off of 'The Christmas Story'....  She loved it, but mostly loved stomping around in the snow, she really didnt care too much about the lights... oh well, at least she had a good time.  We took a little stop in the visitors center and walked up to the big statue of Jesus... as we approached the statue Kaya looked up and said very exaggerated..."oooohhhh myyyyy dooodness (goodness) mommy, Jesus wants a really, really big hug!"  It was the cutest thing ever... She is such a sweetheart and reminds me constantly what life is really all about!  I dropped my camera on this little outing so I dont have any great pictures to show from the evening, but Trevor emailed me this photo from his phone.... Thanks Trev....

My parents celebrated their 30th anniversary on November 21st. That seems like such a fete to me! So, I decided to make a post in remembrance of 30 years of love and 5 awesome children! (especially the eldest daughter! ;)) Congratulations and I love you both very much! xoxoxox

Kaya was the cutest little Christmas elf for her photo's! She spent the week with all of her cousins for Thanksgiving and we had to get some cute little photos of all of them together! Kinsey and Ayden, Lexie and Landon, Kaya and Stella!

So, one day Trevor and I were talking and realized that we were both going be childless for Thanksgiving... so instead of being sad about it we decided to take a little vacation.  He had access to some buddy passes and I had a place to stay with some awesome friends in Seattle so we took a trip.  Cam and Erin were so nice to let us stay with them!  Thanksgiving dinner was so yummy and all we needed was a few more days to see some more of the sites in Seattle!   We went to the salmon fish hatchery, Pike's Market, Sci-fi museum, music project experience, and did lots of shopping! We had a lot of fun and with a lay over in San Diego it was almost as if we had 2 vacations in one!  Needless to say, it was a great holiday!

So, over the last few months, Trevor has opened up my eyes to an entirely new world!  I have learned about things that I never even knew existed... and for those of you who know me... you are about to get a really good laugh...
