Christmas Pajamas

So I finally finished making the kids Christmas pajamas. It took me about two weeks. It's hard to find the free time. I would usually stay up late after the kids were in bed. I know their not perfect but not bad for my first attempt. Maybe next time I will make matching tops to go with the pants.

Temple Lights

The lights were so pretty this year. We didn't go last year so it was Ellie's first time to see them. The boys pointed out to me that you can see a perfect reflection of the Temple in the water. I never noticed that before. Sorry the pictures are a little blurry.

Fishing with Dad

On Saturday Sam took the boy's fishing. The boys were so excited. No Girls Allowed. Sam packed a cooler full of snacks and Root Beer for them ( At our house soda is a treat. So they were pretty happy about it.) and off they went. They had so much fun. Even though they didn't catch anything. They climbed trees and brought home a water dog. (some type of plant) They don't get to do this very often. It was good for them to have some Dad time.

The Past Few Weeks

This month seemed to go by so fast. I have been horrible about keeping up with my blog. Sometimes it's hard to find the time. So here are a few things that have happened. Sam and I celebrated our 8Th anniversary. Can you believe it. Where did the time go. 8 years and 3 kids later. I am so grateful for Sam. He is a wonderful husband and father. He works so hard to take care of our family. I Love You Hun. Then Sam's brother Ben went through the Temple and was sealed to his new wife. She is very sweet. Afterwards we had a mini reception at our house for the family. Then on Thanksgiving My brother, sister and myself ran the Turkey Trot. I beat my personal record. My sister did really well she got 2ND in her age group. My brother did awesome it was his first year to run. Later that day we went and ate dinner with Sam's family. We had so much fun. The kids love playing with their cousins. In the evening we went over to gram pas house for some more dessert. I ate way to much pie this year. I guess I'll be running extra this week. Here are some pics from Thanksgiving.

Hangin with the boys.

Daddies Girl


My boys thought this was so fun. They would get in this tiny wagon and go down the slide. They had us all laughing. It makes you wish you were little again.

Her cousin made this turkey hat for her.

He loves to swing on this rope swing.

I wish we had one at our house.
