Thanks Brian for bringing your family back home for the holidays!
I had an AWESOME year!
What was your favorite?
Happy New Year!!!
We're loving the snow!! (Sorry Scott, I know you have to clear it)
Wish you all were here!! Merry Christmas!
FUN-We went down SEVERAL times and then went in the lodge for hot chocolate and pizza! All tuckered out we packed up the gear and headed down the mountain,
TV in car=Happy Kids!
THEN THE SNOW!
A truck that rolled on it's side :( We also saw a semi that had slid and was facing the wrong way
WHITEOUT!
Needless to say it took FOREVER to get home, but we enjoyed every minute and had a wonderful time!! We love the snow!
Oh- I realized I wasn't in any pics and took this one!! :)
Merry Christmas ya'all! Love ya!
YAY!!! SNOW! My kids played, and played, and played some more!! I'm so glad we have some snow FINALLY!! Austin discovered Snowballs and threw them at anyone who walked by..little maniac!

Here are some Santa shots.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!"
last night I went to a YW meeting and Ryan was in charge. He bathed Austin and then got him in his PJ's and while Park was taking a bath Austin ran and got in, fully clothed, he thought he would do what big brother did!! :) So when I got home Ry told me what happened, I laughed and told him about what we discussed earlier in the day, poor Ry, not really!
So, I learned.....
Be careful about what you talk about in front of your kids!!! or do it like I did, and make sure your husband is watching them!! :)
I'm Grateful for ..................Our little family
MY KIDS!! Here is BLAKE when he was a most precious baby, always happy!! 
Ilove my three BOYS! They grow too fast! We have had som e wonderful years.
My parents, a FEW years ago :)
I am totally grateful for extended family and all the things they have taught me I love my inlaws here is their pic from a FEW years ago :)
I love all my sister in laws and brother in laws-I am totally surrounded by the BEST fAMILY!!
I love the gospel and am grateful for it's restoration. I love the beautiful earth and bask in it's beauty I'm grateful for the world that surrounds me 
Things have been extremely busy at our house, nothing new to report, just a lot of chaos! I now have YW, Ryan has Bishopric, Blake started piano lessons, Parker has reading with a tutor 2 times each week, and Austin has his gymnastics. We have been here and there and everywhere. I thought that this year with Blake and Park in full time school, I would be able to get so much done, WRONG!!! Why do you think that is, I am more busy this year than any past year!! In between everything I am trying to get my Christmas shopping done, keep the house clean, help with homework, HAVE FUN, and who knows what else. I'm sure you are all busier than me so I will try and post something better next time My prayers are with you all, you are all the best!!! Love ya-Stace
Making paper airplanes-to throw at ME i might add! Look at how innocent they look!
Today Ry actually finished up an hour early from Bishopric and came home EARLY!!! It was exciting! Unfortunately, he was beat! They reorganized YW today & I got put back in!! It is AWESOME to be with the girls again, let alone the Laurels :) !
Liv endured a night with the boys!
wOW! WhAt A cRaZy dAY wE hAd YeSTerDay!!! First we had Austins class Halloween Party and he got to dress up, can I just say I think he is the CUTEst pirate! Then we had the class parties at school to go help out with and THEN WE HAD Ryan's work Halloween Party. Which was my favorite party of the day. They had Dumbledore the magician come and he was absolutely AMAZING!! I don't know how he did his tricks, it was some pretty cool magic, he had a rabbit, a dove, and all kinds of things-the kids were amazed too! It was a lot of fun!
After Trick or Treating through the offices, we hurried to the Halloween Carnival that the elementary put on at the local High School. Blake is on the Student Council this year and helped plan the Spook Alley and was in it at the carnival, he loved that his costume glowed in the dark and he said scaring people was AWESOME! We had ALOT of fun yesterday, needless to say we were totally EXHAUSTED last night!
