Merry Christmas!

Well, another Christmas has come and I failed to get cards made. Forgive me please. If I would have sent them out they'd look like this. 




  Well, maybe not...but probably more like this-

   Wow, an updated picture of us!  I am still in shock ha ha!

  

The weather turned snowy and windy so we'll have to try again another day and get some more pics of just the boys!

Our special, early Christmas gift from my parents. They wanted to donate to The Festival of Trees this year. I've helped my mom decorate trees in the past to honor Eric, and this year they decided to purchase a tree instead.  The theme was "He finished his race." It is a fully loaded race car tree and my boys are loving it!  This tree was in honor of a sweet four year old little boy named Logan who passed away last December. His parents are incredibly strong, and special.  I hope that they can find peace and comfort in knowing Logan is with his Father in Heaven, watching over his family.
Children are the greatest gift EVER!

 I am truly grateful for My Savior.  For His life, His atonement, and the blessings of an eternal family.  I am so very blessed with two handsome, healthy, sweet boys, an amazing husband, with an amazing job, a warm home, food to eat, awesome friends,neighbors, and ward family. But most of all the knowledge of the true Gospel.  Christ Lives!  Merry Christmas!

Halloween!!!

 Arr, it's me Cap'n Hook
*Side note- Max came to me the night before his preschool party and declared he was not going to be Peter Pan....He wanted to be Max from Where The Wild Things Are...Hobby Lobby and some blood and sweat and a little luck I hand sewed a last minute "Max" wolf costume with no pattern...I just traced him, bought fabric, buttons and elastic. If I can whip this out of no where and I don't sew then anyone can do it! I seriously surprised myself.  He rewarded me by saying"You're THE very best mommy ever!"
Image
 Yes, they love each other!
Image
 My Wild Things, being WILD!
Image
 My vampire fanged boys...I decided those fangs are so disgusting. Lots of slimy slobber, ewe ewe ewe!

 Homemade costumes for a total of 40 cents! Oh yeah! I borrowed Gav's hat and a cut up a little felt for detail. We had so much fun at our friends Disney themed party. So much fun that I forgot to take pictures of the awesome costumes and yummy food.

 Another Halloween party, and it was TV show themed. Yes I made my ridiculous mask myself ha ha! I love Halloween a bit too much.

He loved every minute of the tour, and talked about it for days!

I forgot I never posted about my girls trip to Vegas.  We went to Max Brennar's chocolate restaurant.  It was AMAZING! So much chocolate!

This was called "The S'mores concoction" it even had marshmallow fluff and everyone knows my obsession with marshmallow fluff! I love girl time!
