Christmas beginings!

Helping Grandma make the frosting!

Emmy's face was like this all evening long! So funny!

Loving Grandad!

Final product!!!

Merry Christmas!!! We have started off our Christmas celebrations with making our traditional gingerbread houses! This has become one of our favorite traditions! It was extra fun for us because we have missed out on it the last two years and finally got to be here this time!

Random pics!

Loves cooking for Mickey and Minnie and Baby!

Enjoying the first Snowfall!

Helping PaPa blow all the leaves in a pile!

It's been a while since I posted. Just thought I would post a few random pictures! We have been enjoying all of our different kind of weather lately! Tying to get out a lot before it is way too cold and miserable going outside.

Halloween!

A Butterfly and a Frog!

We had two cute little bugs for Halloween! I do have to say... (at least for me!) It is much more fun to go trick-or-treating with my children than it was going as a child myself! I loved watching Kaleigh having so much fun going to a ward party and then going door to door to get candy! She loved it, and has asked to go everyday since!

CARVING PUMPKINS!

Carving pumpkins with Kaleigh was really fun this year! Every time we go home she wants us to all look at her pumpkin on the front porch! Very proud of her project! She had a lot of fun carving with Daddy and then cooking the seeds and eating them with Grandma Necie!!!

GARDNER VILLAGE!

Witch doing the Cannon Ball!
Emma hanging out with Uncle Matt and Elise!

My family took a little ride up to Gardner Village to see all the cute little shops and go on the witch hunt!It was so much fun! I do have to say that out of all the witch's there, our little Kaleigh was BY FAR the cutest one there!!! (Along with her cute cousin Jaydenn!)
I have always heard about Gardner Village, but never been there until now! I guess it is about time considering I am a Gardner myself!

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

We have been having a lot of fun lately trying to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts!
First of all, we went to the State Fair! It was a lot of fun! Made me really excited to someday take our kids to Disneyland!
We saw and petted goats, cows, pigs, bunnies, birds and sheep! We rode on a train, saw a gator, went on a HUGE slide (Kaleigh screamed and cried the first time with cousin Jaydenn, however strangely enough begged to go again with MOMMY this time and HOLD MOMMY'S HAND, and screamed and cried the whole time again!) However, she did love the helicopter ride at the end!

Went to the cabin for the weekend! Enjoyed the great weather swimming on the deck, going on walks, and feeding the ducks! LOVE this time of the year!

Trev and I had to take a pictures by this tree because it is the same picture we used for our wedding announcement pictures! Too bad we look so much older in this one!

Brave little Kaleigh let the ducks eat right out of her hand! I on the other hand tried to do it too, but kept getting too nervous and never did do it! Kids are so brave!

Had a great time camping one last time this summer with the Hatch family! It is so nice to get away and enjoy some time at Camper World!

Kaleigh is always wanting me to take pictures of her and Emma! Here is one of the better ones! They are growing up way too fast for us! We have so much fun with them!

Emma's Blessing Day!

It took a little longer than planned, however we finally had Emma blessed a few weeks ago! Trevan gave her a very beautiful blessing! It turned out to be a great day! (Even though Trevan and I had to speak in church as well!)

Camping!

The life jacket has become one of Kals favorite pieces of clothing! She wants to wear it all the time!

Grandma Niece comforting Emma after Trevan dunked her in the water. She hated it, but after a minute of calming down she actually enjoyed the water!

The babysitters while we went on a canoe ride!

Kaleigh and Ellie!

Little Emma!

A little about Emma!
I keep getting told to post pictures of Emma up so family and friends not living here can see her! She has grown so much! She now weighs 11 1/2 lbs and is one long girl! (Getting chunky too!) She is so cute and fun! Trevan got her to laugh for the first time yesterday and we could sit and watch it hour after hour! It is so fun!
Crystal gave her a first hair cut last weekend. You probably think I am crazy because she is fairly bald, however, she has tons in the back and I don't want it to grow in like a mullet!
Kaleigh LOVES Emma and is pretty good with her.
Anyway... here are some recent pics of her! I will try to be better about taking more and posting them!

4th!

Better LATE than NEVER! Right?
I am just now finding time to blog more often! I am not up-to-date yet, but am working on it!
We had a very fun 4th of July! Started off going to the parade! Kaleigh LOVED it. (So did Trev, well at least he loved throwing all the poppers we bought!) We had a BBQ and then walked over to the Stadium of Fire! It was a great show this year! Kaleigh cried through the fire works and has been scared of them since, and Emma slept through them! Very fun though!
On Monday, we continued celebrating by going up the canyon to Dear Creek and swimming in the lake! Had a fun time later that evening having another BBQ and more fire works!
