Thanksgiving 2013...

This year we had Thanksgiving with the Coons. Luckily they were having it in Utah so we were able to spend time with both our family's! Our kids were beyond excited to go to Grammy and Papas house! 

Preston did NOT want us to get lost. He drew us this map on how to get to Grammys from the Flagstaff house. It had houses, mountains, deer and everything. Pretty much one of the cutest things ever!

Lylah kept saying it was cold and wrapped her self up like this!

The night we got there the kids took baths and Grammy read them storys...

After that I found them cuddled in the same blanket together...love those twos!

Thanksgiving day! Me and my baby girl!

Court, Mom and Dad!

Grammy, Lylah and Papa!! Loved that she totally posed! Spencer and Preston had already left to go play morning football so it was just us taking pics! 

My Thanksgiving turkeys...cutest ever!

We met the Coons at a church in Highland. It was so fun to see everyone and talk to John about his life here in Utah now! 

After we ate, we had a dance party! I'm not much of a dancer but finally participated and actually had a lot of fun...you don't really look like an idiot when your with the Coons. They are hilarious and fun and they totally aren't judgin your moves haha! 

Cute Cousins! Preston, Riley and Isaac! 

We played a few games of musical chairs! Kids game where Preston was DEVASTED that he didn't win. Then the men played and Spenc tried hard to win for Preston but didn't quite make it. Then the women played...and guess who won!? Yup thats right...this girl! Preston was thrilled haha!

The next day we met everyone at a park to play. It was a beautiful day! I couldn't believe the weather! I had to take this picture of Spenc...he looked like a homeless man. A sexy homeless man ;). 

I LOVED this picture of these favorite kids! Cousins and best friends! 

Spencer got his Christmas present early, a bow! Well he should have worn a gaurd and this was the result of not doing it. It looked horrible!! 

The girls...not the best picture of us but oh well. I love these women so much and can't tell you how lucky and thankful I am to have them in my life!! 

On the drive home we drove through some clouds! 

iphone pics for November...

The silliest, cutest kids! 

I got to spend a weekend with some ward friends! We got a hotel in Phoenix and went to Time Out for Women. We talked, ate good food, and even did some shopping too! It was great!

Spending some time with our favorite neighbors...this was our last front yard play date! :(

My little Cowgirl!

I watched my friends little girl Sophie for her a bit this month. Lylah loves her and they had so much fun together! Beautiful girls in the swings! Lylah looks so old to me in this picture. 

Preston playing war with daddy. He loves this game! ( Especially when he wins! )

I watched both my friends girls on the same day and we had a party. Those girls had a blast together! They are just the cutest!

Me and Preston heard a big thump in the kitchen and ran in there to find nothing! So I looked in the backyard and found this bird...he was still alive taking his last breath. So sad! I can't believe it hit my window though, my windows are NOT that clean! Preston was sad about it...

Shanna's kids came over to play while they moved into their new house. It was such a bittersweet day. I HATE that they aren't there but that's life! So happy about their house though!

We tried taking some family photos for Christmas cards and it went HORRIBLE. Kids would not cooperate and it was so stressful!! I'm the one who should have been crying ;). 

Happy Birthday Spencer...

For Spencer's birthday this year we went shooting with family during the day! My kids always love getting together with the cousins to play! Preston runs around and the older girls always play, hold and love on Lylah. So its always a win for me ;). We had a blast on the Ranger, picnic and shooting the guns!

After we left the desert, we dropped off our dirty kids at Grandmas house! Shes the best and bathed them and watched them over night for us! We got a deal at the Scottsdale Resort and went and had our selves a "stay"cation. First we stopped at Joes BBQ to get Spencer's free meal! 

Happy Birthday Spencer! One year older and sexier too ;). XOXO. 

Halloween 2013...

Halloween was SO fun this year!! Preston was really into it...running from house to house and getting so excited about candy! Lylah was just learning and LOVED it. She got all the attention and would talk to everyone and she was just the cutest! It was our funnest year yet! The last two years I've always had their outfits coordinate but Preston REALLY wanted to be Optimus Prime and I just couldn't think of anything that Lylah could be that would go along. So we decided to make her Minnie Mouse cause shes obsessed with her anyway. I bought Preston's and made Lylah's big tutu! I think they both looked adorable! And they were both super happy and thats all that matters anyways! 

Happy Halloween!!
