My New Toy!!!



I have been wanting a new camera for awhile. After a ton of looking and seeing just how much money was spent on Christmas Paul and I decide to buy a new camera. I love my new camera!!! It is so nice not to have a delay in taking pictures. I kept missing so many great pictures.

Catching up!!!

Logan golfing, he kept picking up the everyones balls and putting them right by the hole so it would be easier. Thanks Logan!!

Tanner's hole in ONE!!!!

Kaden's cake... every year they ask for something more and more complex. I don't want to know what they will look like when they are teenagers.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kaden's birthday, New Year's.... and everything else since!!

Well man after Logan was in the hospital we spent the next several weeks with all of our kids taking turns getting sick. And I mean sick... Kaden was just absolutely miserable. SO after many doctors appointments and we all started to feel better the beginning of December. Thanksgiving was pretty busy going between houses and taking care of sick kids, trying to find the balance between seeing family that was in town and staying home to get better. The boys were starting to feel okay so my mom offered to watch the kids while Paul and I did some day after Thanksgiving shopping and every year I wonder why I go but it helps save money so I guess I be going again next year.
So once Thanksgiving was done we hit Christmas in full swing. We started with the Bountiful Light Parade which the boys always love. The next day we went and saw Santa and the boys told Santa what they wanted. Then we started with all the Christmas parties: Paul's work, both my Grandpa's, my Mom's party and Paul's moms grand kids party. I was hoping sometime in there to squeeze in Temple Square but it was way to cold to take the boys out in so we did Thanksgiving Pointe lights where you drive through and then saw Santa's reindeer. Christmas Eve we went to Paul's mom's house for dinner then home for Christmas movies and the boys to exchange gifts and a present from mom and dad. Christmas morning was great. The boys were excited and were starting to full understand Santa each year it gets more and more fun. They opened presents and played with presents for awhile and then off to visit Grandma and Grandpa.
Just when I felt like I could breath from Christmas; it was time to get ready for Kaden's birthday. Paul had the day off of work so we started the day with a special breakfast and went mini golfing and to lunch. Tanner got a hole in one while golfing and was so excited. Then is was home to get ready for the party that night. Bowling with some friends. The boys had fun but we had a little scare when my friends little girl got her hand caught in the ball return. Thankfully her hand was okay. We came home for pizza and presents. (WAY TOO MANY PRESENTS)
New Year's was spent at my brother's house which was fun we had games, wii, bounce house it kept us busy and same with the boys, who all managed to stay awake until midnight.
Since New Year's I have been trying to caught up from all the neglected house work and projects. Paul started work on our basement hopefully by next year it will be done or at least pretty close.
