House for Rent

So our renters just let us know that they would be out in May so if you know anyone that is interested in renting a house let us know!!!!

Trip Home

I took some pictures from the car on the way home mostly in Colorado. We had a pretty good trip home until we got to Dillon Colorado. The roads were nasty and snowy, traffic was backed up because of a wreck and the baby started to cry it was 6:00 he was hungry. I made Lance get off the freeway so we could get a hotel and stay the night. The next morning we found out that the traffic was not moving well until 3am that morning. I am so glad we got off because that was the last exit for a very long time!! I am so sorry that we missed you Fabrizio Family!!! We will catch you again I promise!!! But I was about in tears when we pulled off I hate driving in nasty snowy roads especially when you have to change a poopy diaper off the side of the road. Traffic was moving at 3mph. I was ready to be done and shaking like a leaf!!!!!! Lance wanted to keep going but once I had the kids all beggin dad to get off the freeway he finally gave in. The next day we drove pretty good and got home about 6:30. Oh and we hit a hawk!!! It was a long ride home but the trip made it all worth it!!!!

Family

We took some pics with the Warby's before we left. Jakoby is such a chunkie he weighs as much as Braysen and he is 6 months younger. But I just loved those chubby cheeks of his. All the kids got along so good. Brinlee and McKaye were buddies and the boys all just played together. We had such a great time and I am so thankful for our families and the good memories we get to make with them!!!!

Red Hill

One of the days we took the kids up on the Red Hill. It was so amazing!!! I took everything in St. George for granted!!! I am so glad that we took the kids over it was neat to see the wonderful red mountains. Conner was not having it though and so poor Sandy got to hang in the car. But I think Carson had a fun time with us it was sooo fun to have them come!!!! Braxton had gone the day before with the Players and just had to show us what fun things he saw. I was just so glad I could walk around outside without a coat the weather was so nice while we were there!!!!

Jake and Kara's House

We got to spend a little time with my family. Sunday we went over to Jake and Karas for dinner it was so nice of them to have us all over. We got to see my grandparents also. It was fun to watch the kids play together and just hang out. It was such a beautiful day I could have stood outside in Jakes backyard forever!!!! Braysen was just happy to help papa until I saw him try and put the drill bits in his mouth then he was not a good helper anymore!!! We got to see Kiki and Dave and Sandy and the boys, Thanks guys for taking time out to hang with us we sure had alot of fun!!!!

New Sunday Clothes

The kids got new Sunday clothes. Grammie and Papa bought Braysen his little outfit!!! He looks so handsome huh!!!! Braxton and Brinlee look so grown-up. I love them sooooo much!!!

Christmas Day

Christmas was soooo much fun!!! The kids keep talking about how much fun they had and not about what they got!!!! It was fun to be with grandparents and cousins Christmas Day. Grandma was telling her sisters how they would be alone this year for Christmas!!! I guess we crashed her party but I know she loved every minute of it!!! The kids got some fun things!!! But, the Remote Control car Santa brought Brax was broken and Brinlee's DS from mom and dad wouldn't work. But my kids were amazing they didn't even complain they were just happy to be with family. Lance gave me this beautiful necklace that has our names engraved in hearts!! He did a good job!!! Love you babe!!!! We had Sandy and the boys come over later in the day it was fun to see them and hang out!!!! The kids had alot of fun playing Rock Band!!!! Overall we had a wonderful Christmas!!! I am so thankful that my Saviour was born and that he lived and died for me, I think that is the best Christmas gift ever!!!

Temple Square

Lance took some really good pictures of Temple Square. It was so beautiful. The snow made it even better!!!!

Players House

The next few days we spent with the Player family. We had so much with them!!! Thanks so much guys for letting us stay and feeding us some good food!!!!! We took the kids one night down to temple square. We rode the front runner into downtown then hopped onto tracks to get to Temple Square. It was snowing and it was AMAZING!!! I was cold and the kids were to but the best part was walking out of the vistors center right when the lights started to turn on it was AWESOME!!!! Braysen just loved his aunt Rachelle. It was soooo nice he would follow her around and grab her legs instead of mine what a nice break!!!! The kids all played so good and had such a wonderful time togther!!!

Childrens Museum

We decided to take the kids downtown SLC the first day we were there. We went to lunch and then took the kids to the Childrens Musuem. It was alot of fun and the kids found all sorts of fun things to do there. Braysen loved the little bird nest house!!! Braxton and Brinlee were so busy doing everything I am glad I got some pics of them. I think their favorite part was the big beehive they had there where they got to put rubber balls into tubes and watch them move all around the hive. It was a pretty cool place!!!

Our Surprise trip to Utah!!!!

We decided to surprise Lances family this year and go back for Christmas!!! It was soooo much fun. We had everyone in tears!!! Rachelle and Mike were the only ones that knew we were coming and they surprised the family also and went down for Christmas Eve when usually they stay home. The cutest part was when we showed up for the surprise at the big Ence Christmas Eve party and we sent the kids in first and Britton had Braysen and went in saying HO HO HO Merry Christmas it was the cutest ever!!!! So we went for two weeks and there are ALOT of pics so I hope you enjoy them we sure had alot of fun being with family, cousins, grandparents and friends!!! We love you all and thanks sooooo much for having us!!! The first two nights we stayed at RoRo's and Papa's!!! The kids had so much fun and were spoiled rotten just like I was when I was a kid!!! Thanks so much RoRo and Papa for having us we had such a great time and we hope to see you soon. It was fun to see Aunt Sue and Brooke and Brette and their families, thanks guys for taking time out to hang out with us we had such a great time!!!!

Christmas Music Program

As most of you know I am the kids music teacher at the elementary school here in town. This year we did some fun traditional music songs like, Its beginning to look alot like Christmas, Up on the housetop, Rockin around the Christmas tree, Silent Night in sign language, All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, Jingle bells, Ruldolph and We wish you a Merry Christmas. My favorite was Rudoplh because I had the kids wear these cute red clown noses that is what this video clip is of the kids singing Rudolph. I love teaching but it is alot of work!!! We had a great time and I got alot of compliments from the folks in town. I decorated the stage and even hauled my own Christmas tree down. Thanks babe for all your help!!! My kids did such a good job and I was so proud of Brinlee she gets sooooo nervous to do things like this!!!

Snow Day!!!

We had an amazing snow day here about a month ago!!! They didn't have school for a couple days so the kids got to go out and play!!! The little green house is ours and the white house is mom and dads. Then there are some of the Academy and some of the snow drifts that got about 4 feet deep. The wind out here is crazy it blows the biggest snow drifts!!! One of the pics is from standing in the street in front of our house and looking down into town. Lately we have been having some really COLD days like in the below zeros with the wind chills!!! Yes this is Tipton and this is where we live!!!!

Decorating the Tree

Since we went to St. George this year for Christmas we really didn't get much out for Christmas decorations. I did want to do the tree but only the top half ended up getting decorated because of my sweet little Braysen. The other pics are of Braysen climbing into his toy bin which he loves to do. Sissy and Braysen hiding from me and Braysen standing next to Brin with his hand on her knee I put that pic in lots but I love it!!!

Braysen's 1st Birthday!!

I can't believe my baby boy is 1!!! Time goes by sooooo fast. I can't believe that one year ago we were in the hospital with this sweet baby boy. Somedays and especially recently I have been wishing he was that small little baby that was NOT MOBILE!!!!! We love our little Braysen. Lately he gives this cute little grin with his 5 teeth showing and he has one more tooth breaking through right now. He has tons of hair at least for my kids. He loves to dance. He says Hi really good. One day Lance and I were in our bedroom talking and he opened the door and said "Hi" it was the cutest thing ever. He also says Mama, Dadda, he can sign language the word more really good. He loves to eat and when he is done he shoves the pieces off the tray onto the floor. When it is time for his nightime bottle he starts melting down until you pick him up to feed him. I wish I could say he was sleeping through the night but we hit and miss sometimes he does and other nights he doesn't. He loves to play with the dog and climbs all over her and pulls on her cheeks. He loves his brother and sister and they always want to make him happy even when I get mad at him and he is in trouble. When his Dad walks in from work he gets soooo excited. I love the time I have with him in the morning we get to do some fun things. We were so excited that Lances Dad got to be here for the birthday party. Braysen hated getting his hands in his cake and when we tried to help him he started screaming. He is such a fun little boy and we just love having him in our family!!!! Happy Birthday little chubbs!!!!

Branch Christmas Party

These are pics from our Branch Christmas party. Yes I am that behind!!!! We had a great time there!!! We had a really yummy dinner. Santa came for the kids. Brinlee would NOT sit on his lap so that is why I have no picture of her. Braysen was screaming his head off and would not go near him, I had to set him on Santas lap and run. The kids dressed up and performed the Nativity. Brax and I with a little gal from town sang Rockin around the Christmas tree. Jane was a cute little lamb. Papa got to hold the babies, Overall it was quite a fun night!!!
