THERE ISN'T ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS

I FOUND MY TWO LITTLE ANGELS STANDING ON THE COUCH LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE FIRST SNOW STORM TUESDAY MORNING. I SWEAR THEY STOOD THERE FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES AND DIDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO GET MY CAMERA OUT. THIS IS WHAT MAKES BEING A MOM ALL WORTH IT!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BOY!

Bodie turned 1 today! We threw a Polar Express party and it was tons of fun!!! Happy Birthday buddy!

BANGS!

I don't think I've EVER had bangs... Let alone taken a picture of myself with bangs... I went and got my hair done Saturday and my hair dresser convinced me do do something a little different. Cut bangs. What do you think? Let's be honest.

The Polar Express

Grandma Dona took us to this amazing Polar Express ride in Lindon on Friday. It was so much fun. There's a house that has a built in a train track throughout their property and it's all decorated with lights, pictures and a little train that you can ride on to the North Pole to Santa's Workshop. After the train stops at the workshop you board back on the train and the whole rest of the ride has pictures of Christ in the yard and beautiful music playing to help us all remember the true meaning of Christmas Bella loved it!! I loved it! I hope we can do it every year. We had a great time and will always remember why we celebrate Christmas. To celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!!!!

While we waited to board the train they had us wait in a huge heated garage and had The Polar Express playing on a big projector. It was all so well organized and so nice we didn't have to wait in a line out in the freezing cold. Not to mention we only waited for like 10 minutes. Amazing!

Our family with Santa at our North Pole stop


Before Bella even got to Santa's lap she was already saying as she was approaching him "I want a vacuum and kitchen and a baby, where's my candy cane?" I have been very surprised that the few times Bella has sat on Santa's lap she hasn't freaked out. It's probably because I've been talking about Santa for like 3 months now in hopes she would not be afraid when the time came. I think it's worked. She's done pretty darn good, but she does get on the lap say what she wants, demands her candy cane and is DONE.



My two little bundles of joy!

Thanks for the fun visit Auntie Shanae and Kali!!!

P.S. and the pictures... I stole them :)

We had so much fun visiting with Shanae and Kali and were so glad they took time out of their busy schedule here in Utah to come see us. Next time hopefully Bodie and Krew will be able to play together. It was so funny, about a half hour before Shanae and Kali showed up Bella kept telling herself, and me "Kali's not a monster mom, Kali's not a monster." For those of you who don't know Kali she is a wild little girl with a lot of energy. Bella on the other hand is not so much like that if you know what I mean, so apparently Bella was a little nervous about Kali. I think they had a good time overall, but sorry Kali and Shanae Bella is such a nervous freak about everything. I do have to say though that after they left our house Bella talked about Kali the whole rest of the day and has made sure she's prayed for her every day since then. We love you guys and miss you alot! Thanks again for the visit!!
