Trisha's Maternity Photos

Trisha asked me to take maternity pictures for her. It was a beautifully foggy day in Logan. Just a touch too cold for comfort so we had to move quick! I wish I could always take pictures in Logan. Everything is close and you are never short on gorgeous scenery. Trisha has wanted to be a mom since she was 5! I'm happy to see her so excited and can't wait to meet my newest nephew.

Merry Christmas!

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma Lindy's house this year. It was fun to be with all the Fullmer crew. It's been a while. It's so great to have Grandma Carol healthy and happy after a long year of battling breast cancer. 

Laura was flying home from Florida so Jeff and his kids came over. The boys wore their Christmas sweaters with pride!

Cami adores her "cousin" Shaedon. She loves whenever they get to play.

Christmas morning at grandmas was equally as fun. Allie got her wish, with this beautiful "banity" she had been hoping for. 

Cami got a do-it-yourself fort kit

And they both got look alike American girls dolls. 

Tommy got his 1st Basketball "hoot." He was pretty pleased. 

We had a wonderful Christmas. I loved spending it with my mom again after so many years. Hope you had a Merry Christmas too. 

December Happenings

Some of the going-ons around our house lately...

This is our announcement to surprise the grandparents and kids at Christmas.

 Cami got her first 10 out of 10 on a spelling test!

  Tommy has become a master canned food tower builder.

 Allie colored her own nativity. I will always love it. Even if Mary looks a little sinister.

 Marie and Jake had their first little baby, Theodore Jake Oakden!

"I got a train!"

Tommy begged me to put one of his presents under the tree. He promised not to open it. I believed him and foolishly went to do my hair. Within 1 minute he came running in to the bathroom gleefully proclaiming, "I got a train!"

 I let him keep it. I learned my lesson. He is Isaac's son. 

 We had fun at the ward Christmas Party this week. These are the only pictures I took, but her little smile is worth posting!

 I love this cute little girl.

Oh, Christmas Tree

We got a tree at the tree lot this year. We didn't have the time or energy to go and cut one down. I think Isaac and Cami found a pretty good one though.

That was the easy part. Rigging up those lights, decorating, cleaning pine needles and then begging the kids to hold still and smile for a picture was the hard part. 

 

Done and Done!

Thanksgiving 2014

We has a great Thanksgiving weekend. We spent it with the Halling's this year. Our clan is growing bigger by the year!

Aaron, has some new friends, a rooster and 4 chickens. This is his rooster. Don't be fooled by this picture. It is an attack dog. Tommy and I were the 1st ones to experience the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde-ness of that bird. It was terrifying. But Aaron loves it, so it stays...for now.

The kids crashed on the hide-a-bed each night. Usually with 20 minutes worth of stories from their ever so loving and patient Grandma. 

We took our annual family pictures at the Lundberg's backyard sheds. It was freezing and no-one wanted to be there. These were our best few.

I love this picture of Tommy. I think he looks like a little James Dean. 

  

Cami and Carson enjoyed a pony ride and seeing the buffalo. 

And we celebrated Allie's 5th once again, with the Halling's this time. 

Finally, on the last day of our stay...after a week of not feeling well and having no appetite. I made a late night trip to the grocery store for this! It's positive! We will have a little one joining our brood in July 2015!
