Disclaimer: I have made this blog for the intent to show loved ones what we've been up to lately. I also want to one day print it out and have it as a journal for the kids. I am not doing this to brag at all. I just thought this is a great way for you all to see what life's been like for us and what we've been doing. I love to see other people's blogs and see their pictures and see what they've been up to. That's all I'm doing here. Thank you!

Finally, we decked the halls at our house

Lucas was so amazed at our tree. We weren't going to decorate our place because we thought we'd be moving (hopefully) with Jason's promotion that we thought he'd be given by now......but with our luck we are still waiting for that to happen. So we decided to just decorate and get our place all festive. It's been really fun. Lucas will go up to the tree and just giggle. It's so cute.

This is Lucas making sure we hooked everything up right. He's doing a pretty good job at not touching the tree. He just sits and stares.

We decided that we needed to deocorate Luke's bouncer. He loved it!!!

The boys wanted to get in the action, Lucas is giving Lincoln some kisses!!! Ahhhh!!!







This is when we first put on the lights.

Decorating is so exhausting!!!

This was our tree before we decorated. It was so pathetic. We now have lights on it and it's in the boys room. They love it!!!

Santa....I know him!!!!!

We took the boys to see Santa at the mall on Monday. It was so awesome. It was dead there, so the boys got extra time to talk to him and hug him. It was so fun for them. When Santa asked Spencer what he wanted for Christmas, Spencer said "Oh.....maybe a toy or a game....I'm not picky". Santa was shocked. Can you imagine all the kids he sees a day and it's probably pretty rare for him to get a response like that. He was so impressed. I was pretty proud myself.

The boys enjoying the play area in the Santa waiting line (even though there wasn't a line, they still wanted to hang out and play).



Spencer showing me where Santa lives.

Lucas couldn't wait to see Santa. Ok, maybe you're right....he's too young.......but he was exciting on the inside. He knew something cool was about to happen. I mean, he was out of his pj's maybe that's what he was so excited about. Hmmmm.......

Alisa came over for a visit (which is a super big treat for them and me) and Lincoln was getting some lovin' from both parties. He was laying on Spencer who was sitting on Aunt Alisa while watching a Christmas show. So cute.

Thanksgiving, Primary Program, Haircuts, oh my!!

Disclosure: This post is all out of order. Soryy about that. It really goes......haircuts, Primary program and then Thanksgiving, but who's keeping track.

Aunt Alisa bought some beads for the boys so they could make their own necklaces whilst us sisters made our own jewelry. We had a great time over the weekend decorating mom's house, making jewelry and doing our craft project, the Grinch. It was all so fun. Thanks again Jonsie for bringing up your beads, I have some awesome watch bands because of you and I thank you again for them.
This was our finished project. It's so appropriate on my account because it's the only thing up downstairs. We are waiting for our fate of Jason's job and it would be pointless to put up all our decorations just to find out we are moving and have to take it all down again. So yes, my Grinch is up and looking good. Thanks to Alisa for the awesome face that she did. Man, I have some talented sisters. I love you guys so much. Thanks for letting me mooch off of your abilities.I am so blessed.

These are the 3 faces (Tenille left earlier so hers didn't get done). They turned out so different, but oh so cute.

Spencer with his cousin. He just loves spending time with his cousins. He eats it up.

Cousin time

I have to say this is a fine looking bunch of kiddos. If I do say so myself.

My boys after a yummy thanksgiving meal.

Alisa and Joni played candyland with the kids while us parents vegged out. I ate way too much.

Kambry being a cutie pie like always.

Kev had a migraine and Kambry was helping him by smacking him in the head. So helpful she is. By the looks of Kevin, he was not minding it a bit. Now if it was anybody but Kambry, you know what would hit the fan.......yup. She has his number.

It really sickens me how cute this family is. I mean, seriously!!!!

Grandma and Luke had had enough. Too much excitement and food. They needed a little nap to get through the rest of the day.

Lincoln was loving his pie so much that he is actually licking his plate clean. Now he might of been cohersed to do it, but I knew eventually he would do it anyways, so I wanted to get a good picture of it.

Lincoln after his pie. Yum!!!!

Brett helping.....he's so good.

Hey good lookin'

It's really sad that this little sweetheart looks nothing like her parents. I mean, it is pretty crazy how much Micah and Spencer look alike. So sad.

Tenille and Kev enjoying the day. Kevin got so much happier when football got turned on. I really don't get it!!!

Lucas loved the pie as well. He had that look in his eye when I stopped feeding it to him. I really thought he was gonna hurt me.

So what do you do after you get up early and run 6 miles......yeah, you go outside and run around with your nephews. I mean, I got tired just watching it. It was really fun seeing Brett run around with the boys. They were loving every minute of it. It was really cute.

This is Lincoln helping Brett off the ground. So kind!!!



Uncle Brett got him!!!

We had a great Thanksgiving with great food, great company and great conversation. What more could you ask for? We are very blessed.

This is all the necklaces Jonsie brought up with her. The boys thought it would be fun to try them on.......all of them.

Lincolns turn to look pretty!!!! Should I be worried?

Spencer and Luke

I took off Luke's church clothes and this is what he ended up with. Knee socks.

Spencer's Primary Program part. He was so cute. He was so confident in his part he added actions. He said, "My body is a temple, it is a present from my father. We need to follow the word of wisdom and do good things." He shook his finger at everyone at the last part. It was so cute and everyone laughed.



This is what he made in Primary. It is so clever.

Spencer showing it off before he eats it.

Haircut time. It was sooooo needed. I don't know why we wait so long. It hink I say that every time. But it's so true. It makes such a huge difference.

My kids hair grow so fast. Why can;t that rub off on me. AGHHHH!!!!

This is Linc's beforehand shot. So scraggly!!!

Lucas had his 1st haircut. He doesn't have much, but what he did have needed to be trimmed.


He did pretty good.





Why do kids sleep in the wierdest positions. He was so beat.
