Last Saturday we were feeding the missionaries @ lunchtime. We love having the missionaries at our house and the spirit they bring.


After eating lunch and since it was snowing that day, we played with the snow at our backyard.. Andrew had so much fun...


So does Aaron. It was the first time that he was out in the snow.

Last night was our ward Christmas Party. We had a great party and the kids were enjoying especially when Santa Claus came. Andrew got the opportunity to be one of Santa's helper. He was doing a great job!

The kids were singing christmas song while waiting for Santa Claus!

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Andrew was chosen to be one of his helpers...



Pictures With Santa.. When asked what he wants for Christmas..Andrew's answer was, " Mommy and Daddy and a Candy Cane"

Little boys are treasures
Who are worth their weight in gold
And charm everyone around them
From the time they're hours old.

They're Mommy's little darling,
They're a special pal to Dad,
And they bring the very happiest days
A family's ever had!


Yesterday we went to McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden (where Ammon was born) to decorate the tree that they have set up for angel mommies. We're glad for the wonderful opportunity provided for us. Thanks Lisa (the nurse who made it possible)! We have met some of the angel mommies too. Russ and I made a special ornament for our little angel.



Ammon's ornament! We put the same one in our own Christmas tree..
After putting our ornament we head straight to the temple, a great way to feel closer to my son!

God, you've brought
many blessings
home today,
hearts full of cheer,
children at play,
a turkey in the oven,
pies steaming hot,
the table laden--
there's nothing
you forgot.
You've brought
good friends near
and loved ones as well,
for smiles and hugs,
and news to tell.
And we gather together,
eager to share
beginning our feast
with a heartfelt prayer.
Like the pilgrims of old,
we thank you God,
for the gifts of the harvest
reaped from the sod.
We look around us
and for all the
blessings we see,
we bow our heads,
in gratitude to Thee.


We had a great Thanksgiving last Thursday. We got together with some of our friends and we had a lot of fun. Heavenly Father has blessed us tremendously this year and there's so many things we're thankful for!



We let our husband babysat the kids at midnight and we started joining the crowd for black Friday shopping. We had a blast!

He has been sitting up on his own starting at 4 1/2 months..


Aaron found his feet around 5 months and he thought they're yummy that he loves to put them in his mouth!


He holds his own bottle @ 4 months..
