All we need is LOVE

Hoping your Valentines is filled with LOVE....(and chocolate :)

Messy but Fun

Daddy went to the Magic game last night, so we had FHE tonight and made our gingerbread house. Kids had a ton of fun, but did more eating then decorating! :) Here's it is! Ta-Dah!

Saylor said it needed a kiss because it was "cute"

Grateful

Today I feel blessed. And I'm grateful for these three......

Happy Thanksgiving!

Life's Good

Mother's Day was absolutely wonderful. As a girl growing up you always wonder and imagine what life will be like when you have kids. There is no Motherhood 101 book to explain how it all works, it's a daily quest and you learn as you go. I am pretty sure every mother wonders at some point why their child chose them and what they can do for their child that no one else can.Saylor & Sawyer have already taught me more life lessons then any professor could teach, to not sweat the small things but to embrace them and most of all the meaning of unconditional love! My mother's day was memoriable and beautiful.

wow he's a keeper

i'm lucky these two call me mommy

my two cute boys

it was basically impossible to get a good picture with mommy, but i just love saylors pose

Cup runneth over

I'm overflowing with gratitude this Thanksgiving! Especially during these hard times that America is going through, I can't take for granted the bountious blessings around me. I am blessed to have a beautiful healthy family, with two precious children who make me smile and laugh everyday, and for a wonderful and supportive husband who loves me for me and who works so hard to provide for us. I'm greatful for friends that I can lean on, and my beautiful surroundings. Today I am thankful.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Enjoy this special time of year and remember the real reason why we're celebrating!!

A Christmas Tradition

Mickey's Christmas Carol is by far one of my favorite Holiday movies and I watch it every year. It always brings back childhood memories of Christmas. Saylor & I tuned in to the Disney Channel today and had a mother daughter movie session. No popcorn, but we snacked on plenty of M&M's. I think I cry everytime I watch it! It's a classic and if you've never seen it shame on you!:) jk In the words of tiny Tim.."God bless us everyone!"

Charlie Brown Tree

been tagged! here ya go courtni! Last year after Christmas, I ran out to Home Depot because they had 6 ft. prelit trees on sale for $15. I thought what a steal!! Well little did I know that once it's put together it resembles the Charlie Brown Tree. We kept talking about getting a 'real' tree this year, but then realized with another baby on the way, the money could probably be put to better use...hence diapers!!:) Needless to say I had to do a lot of decorating and stuffing to make this tree look decent. Surprisingly Saylor is totally oblivious to the tree but wants to rip right into those presents! Smart girl!:) TAG! would love to see ya'lls. Merry Christmas!

'tis the season

Nothing like a good old fashion 'ugly christmas sweater' party. Our friends invited us to our first official one, and it was a blast! thanks donna & jared!


I especially loved my cumberbun!! Can't see it but I had an awesome side pony tail. I don't think i've had one of those since back in the banana clip era!! Bobby's nickname for the night was Country Club Ken!

nothing like men in christmas sweaters channeling Zoolander!:)

Mi Familia

This thanksgiving was extra special! My family flew here from Utah and I was able to host it at my house, which forced Bobby to finally do the things that have been on my "honey do list" for ages!! The weather was beautiful, the food was delicious and the company was wonderful.

Uncle Brent flew in too! The Chef and her sous chef!

The table & my first turkey! not too shabby I think Martha would be impressed

Saylor's catching on to this baby idea! poor peanut had a cold

cute cousin christopher

the 3 bambinos! and a fun night of bowling

Halloween Spooktacular

We had a fun filled Halloween this year! Bobby & I were in charge of our church Trunk-or-Treat which seemed to be a success. Daddy had planned a business trip over halloween weekend, so Saylor & I headed back west to see grandma & grandpa. She loved trick-or-treating with Isaac and thought it was so fun watching all the kids running from house to house.

one stinkin cute dalmation at our Fall Festival in Winter Park

Isaac wasn't quite sure about his costume at first, but by the end of the night he was lovin every minute of it. The cutest part was if there was a house that no one was home at, they would leave a bowl of candy with a note that said "take one", he made sure to only take one for him and one for Saylor and kept looking at the other kids with this concerned look, why they were taking a hand full!!:) Saylor just got frustrated trying to open her candy!
