Thanksgiving 2013

Another Thanksgiving come and gone. It was a lot less stressful than years past. I was done with all my dishes by Wednesday, we played with the kids and enjoyed time together. The food was good and Brooklyn got plenty of baby time. We reflected on all the blessings of this past year. A new home, good health, and good jobs. We've been surrounded by many people who have shown us love and kindness. We've been well taken care of. Our children are happy and secure. It's a good life. This past several months have been rather eye opening with our living/family situation. It has brought our family closer and we are more grateful for each other and for God's love in our life.  

An early birthday present

Zack surprised me with an early birthday present. A picture of the Salt Lake Temple by Robert A Boyd. I've admired it at Deseret Book for a long time and love having it displayed in my own home.

Thanksgiving Day hat

Joshua is very proud of all the hard work he put into this Thanksgiving Day hat. He wanted to make sure we always remember his pilgrim hat. He's a very hard worker!

Baby Dash

Brooklyn is obsessed with this little guy. She talks about him all the time. She was thrilled that he came to play with her. Brooklyn would not leave Dash alone for even a minute. He seems to be rather fond of her too! Cute little cousin buddies! We're excited for Brandon and Goldie to move here and bring little Madison for Brooklyn to play with. A girl cousin old/young enough to play with. Yeah!

Stephanie Graduated from Taylor Andrew's Hair Academy

Tim threw Stephanie a graduation party after she finished up her hours at Taylor Andrew's Hair Academy. We're so proud of her for all the hard work and dedication she's put into hair school. It's a lot of work especially with two little ones to care for too. Good job Stephanie!

Ring around the Rosie

Brooklyn loves to play with the girls. If she can get them to play ring around the rosie they will play until they're all too exhausted to do anything else. It's fun that they can play so well together and Brooklyn loves being the boss.

My little men!

I love my little men and the big guy too! These boys keep me on my toes but also make sure that I'm one happy mama! They are very loving and sweet to their baby sister. They are good boys! I'm very thankful for each one of them!
