Christmas!!!

I really love this time of the year. Christmas always brings my kids together. I love how they play together, speak, and acted. This year Tanner told us the story about Baby Jesus , I really think  he got it this year. McKenna and Emma learned about the gift of giving. They are getting better an better. 

Every year we try to do a new tradition. This year we asked if Santa would help and he said yes. We asked Santa to please write down some things we did go on last year. We also made him some cookies and left a glass of milk. 

I hope every one had a Merry Merry Christmas!!!

My 100 th post!!!!

I wanted to make this big and GRAND!!! I wanted to make this post something to remember, But I got nothin. You guys are going to have to settle for this. On  Saturday we got to eat breakfast with Santa Here are some pictures. 

Then on Monday we made Ginger bread houses with our kids. 

 

 Emma had no problem going up to Santa for the candy, But anything beyond that she was not quite sure of !!

If it is pink McKenna will find it. We went to the store to buy a house and came out with a castle.

Mckenna waiting for Santa!!

McKenna seeing Santa will she will have nothing to do with him. 

Tanner and dad making the there house. I think they make a great team. 

I think this is the first year Tanner wanted to seat on Santa's lap. When he was waiting in line he was telling me what he was going to ask Santa for Christmas. The list went on forever, But when it was time he froze. I had to sign to him the things he told me.

Emma did not want to make a house with us, but she did want to eat the candy. She is our sweet tooth in our family.

I hope you guy enjoyed and yes this may be boring to some,  but not to me and my family thank you for spending the time t look and have a Very Merry Christmas!!

Blessing from above. (wink)

This blessing from above is Conner, 7 years ago I gave birth to our 1st son. Happy Birthday son!! Every year we send off balloons to him. This year we made it a FHE event and tough our kids about the plan of salvation. I don't know if my kids understood but they do know Conner is there brother. Tanner and McKenna talk about if allot.
You might be wounding why I put wink in the title? Lara from overstuffed reminded me about the blessing the lord gives you. I can remember the blessing the Lord gave us during this time. If you would just indulge me I would love to tell my story.

We found out I was pregnant in August 2001. I went to the doctor the next week he informed me that I have been pregnant for about 3 months, at that time he asked me if I wanted to have some blood work done. Now at this time insurance companies would not pay for this tip of blood work. But I still went ahead in doing the blood work. A week latter we got the results and they were not good. Conner was not developing right, half of his stomach was in his unbilicord. We were assigned to a specialist doctor that we knew Rob's insurance would not take. But two days before, UCCU my work was getting better insurance plan but cost a litter bit more. But I also taken off my probation period a month early and received a raise that off set the cost. (WINK, WINK, WINK)
Rob always went to my doctors appointment but there was one appointment that he could not go to. Latter that day I found out my younger brother was having his home coming that week so I had to reschedule. When we came home we went to the last appointment with our regular doctor. There Rob and I heard Conner's last heart beet. Also Rob felt Conner for the fist time. The next day we had to go to the specialist doctor. There he gave us the news Conner had pasted away. (wink wink wink)

Now some of the winks were not winks but full on blessing. I know that this trail was meant for Rob and I. I know the Lord wanted to make it as peaceful as possible and I thank him for that. I hope we can remember the blessing as will as the winks. I know the Lord knows us individually and will always bless us according to our trail.

Happy Birthday Conner we love you!!

Pictures, pictures, and some more pictures.

Wow I can't believe this month is over. Thanks giving week is over and man has it been busy!!! Here are some pictures. We first kick off the week with going to watch the Jazz game. Rob's work gave him tickets. This is Rob's first game and boy was he spoiled! We were on the first row right behind the Jazz players. When they took the time outs we could see there plays and what they were going to do. The tickets were worth 450.00 a piece. We got free dinner and parking. Rob and I had a blast.

The next set of pictures is Rob and some people in our ward playing Turkey bowl.

This was fun to watch, at first the men were running and really trying to go for the ball. But thing changed about 30 mins into it. If the ball did not come to them they were not about to run for it. Then if they got the first down they just put the ball down, and started the next play, they did not even try to run and make a touch down.

I love this picture Tanner getting ready to kick the ball. He made me go home and get his cleats but I did not mind it made him so happy.

Here are the kids making pies on Thanks Giving. I really want to say that I'm so so thankful for my family. Rob and his love, his understanding, his kindness his willingness to be a wonderful husband and father. I love you so much honey. I'm so thankful for my kids they are so understanding to me and help and remind me that I can be a good mother. Thank you kids I really could not asked for better children. I'm so blessed and thank God every day for all the bless he gives me.

This was on Saturday when my side of the family had Thanks Giving. We had it at our house and I was so busy and for the first time did not take allot of pictures. Here is Alex after eating and Jacob getting ready to leave. All of my kids feel asleep after dinner maybe that is why I didn't take allot.

And on Sunday we drove up to Richfield to go to Robs Uncle and Aunts farewell they are going to Tonga on their mission we wish them the best. I have to say this got me excited to go on ours when we get to that point. I know it is a long long ways away. But it is a goal we are and will be working on.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanks Giving I know I did!

What a great idea.

I was looking around to find some ideas for FHE and found this idea. You cuts out construction-paper turkey feathers and mails them to your relatives. You asks each person to write on a feather what he or she is thankful for that year and then return it to you. On Thanksgiving you read them out loud. what fun I know it is to late to do this but what fun for next year. I did find a fun FHE idea thank you Miriam.
