Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

I wish everyone love, health, and happiness for 09.

My life has been kind of crazy lately so my blog hasn't been updated for a while. Here's a recap of what we've been up to since my last post. I'm not a huge fan of long posts so I hope I don't bore you to death!

The oh so famous Twilight movie!

My darling Mom, sister-in-law Janelle and her sister Janika came with. It was fun to get away from kids and be with the girls for a while. We were also there with my cute Sister-in-law Heather and my Mother-in-law, Pat. It was crazy outside so I didn't get a pic of all of us. I've been waiting for Heather to update her blog so I could steal one off of hers!

Eden, Utah

My cousin Chris just returned from his mission so we all stayed the night in a condo up there. It was fun to spend some time with my Brother and Sisters

My nephew Chase and my niece Kaitlyn


My nephew Mayson. Isn't he such a little Jeremy?!


My Aunt thought that Kim was only coming up so she only booked us a two bedroom condo. You should of seen us all lined up asleep on the living room floor!


Zak, My niece Brooklyn, and Chase


My Nephew Peyton

My Adorable Sister Kim

Brittney's house

After Eden I went to Pleasant Grove, UT and stayed with my adorable sister Brittney. I had fun being able to spend a few days with her.

Kaitlyn and Zakary

The boys at Cabella's

Thanksgiving

My In Laws have a time share for a condo in Park City for the week of Thanksgiving. They stayed there until Thanksgiving day then they offered it to us which was so sweet of them. It was fun to get away with my little family and spend some time together.

Conner is pretty sure we are actually going to let him stay on the top bunk. Maybe in a few years my love.

Lisa's Bridal Shower

My beautiful sister-in-law Lisa is getting married! (my post is so late she is married as of Jan. 2)

This is her answering questions about Brody and if she gets it wrong she had to put in a piece of bubble gum.

This was hillarious! We snuck in all our husbands and Lisa had to guess which one was her husband's leg blind folded.

Look at all those Handsome men!

Snow Day!

These are pic's of our first big snow storm. It was so cute to see them so excited to play in the snow. It reminds me of playing in the snow with my brother Jonny. He loved it and we had so much fun until he dared me to jump off of our shed into a snow pile we made and I broke my ankle. I love to remember the fun stuff with did together and I hope I can help my kids make some lasting memories of their own. Hopefully, with no broken bones though!

Okay so I know he's a little too bundled up but he's just so tiny I can't help it.

Conner is my little outdoorsman. He will stay outside until I force him kicking and screaming to come in

Remember being little and being so excited to be the first ones to leave tracks on the freshly fallen snow.

Duck Hunting Season
Look at those men. They are so proud to be bringing home their kill.

This is Brody our new brother-in-law. Jace has had a hard time letting his only little sister Lisa get married but we counldn''t have asked for anyone better.

This is Jace's best friend Steven. His wife Nicole and him are visiting from LA over Christmas break. So Jace was always saying "but Steven won't be here very long so I have to go duck hunting again" Steve you know I love and miss you and Nicole but thanks for going home and giving me husband back! I'm totallykidding. We miss you guys so much!

Jace is so excited at how many they came home with he wanted me to make sure i shared with everyone every angle and picture of these ducks!

So they brang all the ducks they got to my house to be plucked, gutted, and packaged. I was happy not to help. They stink so bad! We all hate duck but don't worry we give them to families who are in need.

Christmas Eve

I love you Zakky even if your in the terrible two's!

And finally Christmas Eve Jammies

My parents always got us new pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve and I have followed the tradition. This is one the very few pics I have with them behaving while sitting next to year each other. Usually Conner is pushing him down while Zak tends to bite! Our house is full of excitement!

So long old friend...

So I drank my last Diet Pepsi today! I am trying to stop drinking caffeine and I'm way sad about it. I love my Pepsi! I always quit with each one of my pregnacies but as soon as I stop nursing I'm right back to drinking it. No, I'm not pregnant. I just want to be healthier and teach my kids to eat right so I'm starting here. If anyone has any words of encouragement I would love to hear it. I'll keep you updated on my days sober from Diet Pepsi!

Rolling it Redneck style!

So we know how to do Halloween here in Idaho. Hook a trailer behind the 4 wheeler! For once it wasn't below zero here so I actually enjoyed riding along with the kids. My kids thought it was best thing to be able to walk up to people's doors and get free candy.

Since my kids aren't in school I decided to join Jace's family for UEA weekend in Bicknell Utah. Jace surprised me by coming down even though it was opening weekend of the Elk hunt in Idaho. Now that's true love!! We had so much fun 4 wheeling, cooking good food, and playing Farkel until 2 am. I am so blessed to have married into such a wonderful and fun family.

Zak didn't make it very long on one of the 4 wheeler rides.

I love all the poses in this pic!

My cute little Zaky Zak. He hates to wear his hat but since he has chronic ear infections and now has tubes I am constantly shoving a hat on his head

Okay so my Conner is only 3 but Jace swears he's going to a pro by the time he's 4!

This is my Nephew Porter. He is 3 and so stinkin cute!

My sister-in-laws are all so beautiful. I am so grateful for all the love and support they show us.

Thanks Steph making it thru the 8 hr trip back to Idaho with 6 kids!

My Brother-in-law Nate took us on a 3 hr four wheeler ride through the beautiful mountains. Conner was the youngest one to come and he didn't complain once. He loves this kind of stuff. He even wore his helmet the whole time. I am so proud of you my little buddy!! Thank you Steph and Sara for watching Zak.

It makes me sad that Zak wasn't here to be in the picture but there's no way he would of made it.

Since it was opening weekend of the Elk Hunt we figured we better wear orange so no one shot at us!

Viking Football

I had so much fun watching my nephew's Truxton and Dillon play tackle football. They are the cutest in their uniforms. Sorry Cavemen, my Nephews have turned me into a Vikings fan!

Zak's trip to the Emergency Room.

Zak fell when he was trying to get out of the bath last night and hit his mouth on the toilet. So we spent two hours in the emergency room. It was so sad they held him down with a blanket so they could put 6 stitches in. I was in tears. I'm sure this is one of many trips to the emergency room though with me having two boys so close in age.

We are ready for Halloween!

I love that smile!

Zakary could honestly care less that I dressed him up. He's much to busy playing with his phone.
