O' Christmas Tree...

Is there any better place to enjoy life?!
On Thanksgiving Day, we went up in the mountains and found our perfect Christmas Tree!
Kenny and I have made this a tradition for three years in a row, and we even talked his parents into coming.
It was so much fun!!

There wasn't very much snow, but at least there was a little bit!
After much searching, Grandma found the best tree and Kenny cut her down.


Decorating the tree wasn't as much fun as I was envisioning!
We spent the entire time fighting Jackson, who just wanted to play with all the ornaments...especially the tractor ornament that Randi sent to Tanner last year!
There were many tears shed whenever an ornament went on the tree.
We probably should have put him to bed first!

Amazing Tutorial!

Kenny's cousin, Kali, is an AMAZING seamstress!
I am seriously jealous anytime I see her stuff.
She made a nursing cover for me when Jack was born, which I really appreciated.
She recently created a Tutorial for Making Nursing Cover, so I tried it, and it was so easy. Seriously...the easiest tutorial I have ever followed.
I fell in love with this pink fabric from Joann's and since Kim is having a baby...she is my lucky winner!
Huge fan of the snap!

If you are interested, click on the link above, I think they cost about $3.50...great Christmas gift!

Gooble-Gobble Goodness

I saw these cookies on a blog and had to try them.
Here is the link to make them yourself...Turkey Cookies.
I was supposed to buy kisses, not hugs. I guess these are zebra turkeys! Taking two strapping young boys into the grocery store isn't as easy as it sounds.
Kim has been helping with Hailey's play, The Wizard of Oz. We are so excited to go see it!
I have had the kids the last couple days. They thought these cookies were really fun.
Say "Cheese"

Aggie Friend Reunion 2010

My roomies from USU and I wanted to find a way to keep in touch, even though we are somewhat spread out! This was our 2nd annual friend reunion! The Briggs were in charge and they planned a super-fun day!
We met at Thanksgiving Point and went to the Dinosaur Museum!
Then we went to Carissa's school and ate pizza, then played in the gym! Is there anything better than good old fashion Dodge ball and Duck-Duck-Goose?
Tanner and Jack checking out fossils.

"Don't worry, whales don't eat Bourgeous'. They eat grill...Oh, look Grill!
Caroline and Bill's cute family!
LeighAnn and Reed's cute family.
My little ones, I forgot to take a picture of us with Kenny...oh well!
Carissa and Justin
Cute Jack loved the basketball station. He loves anything balls.
I am blessed to have such wonderful friends, and I hope I don't have to wait another year to see you girls again!

"Holy Gosh"

Tanner's, super thoughtful, Alabama Grandma sent him an elmo for his birthday.
He played with the Elmo for about 15 minutes, then he spent about 45 minutes in this catalog. This is what I heard him saying...
"Holy Gosh! Look at this Elmo! I can't believe this!"

So, where was Elmo while Tanner was telling me his Christmas wish list?...
Well, let's just say he might have been living out every toys worst nightmare!

Jack was happy to have a turn!

Cool Free Website!

A free photo editing website...
This photo was already cute, I just added the words.
But, you can do all kinds of editing and vignettes and such...so fun!
PS...I love to create, but am totally unoriginal...I stole the idea from HERE.
