Friends, Valentines,and Basketball

Paislee got to play with her friend Ashlynn the other day and Krissa was more than excited to dress them both up=)

The Kids in their Valentine best=)


We had a few friends over to play games and have some pizza. I only wish I would have videoed all the guys dancing to "who let the dogs out"
it was pretty funny=)

Jay busting a move with the little girls=)

Brian showing his mad skills=)

Brian and Brady decided to take matters into their own hands and add ice melt and a little elbow grease to the driveway so they could practice a little basketball.

Brian even let Brady drive the Ranger back and forth. Luckily he didn't wreck=)

Brady and Dad shooting some hoops

Thumbsuckers...

I just had to add this picture of Brooklyn and Paislee. They were in the truck only seconds before both of them had their thumbs firmly in their mouths. Too cute=)

Weekend in St.George and Krissa's special day!

Krissa got this fortune cookie for lunch the day she got baptized I thought it was kind of cool

Just before I left for St. George I got the new Wii game "just dance" in the mail. I have to say this was so fun and even funner when played with my family. We even got my mom up playing (although I wasn't there).

One more perk of St. George is getting to see baby Ava. Look at those cheeks don't you just want to squeeze them!

Our first night there we took the kids to pirate island. Picture chucky cheese except with pirates. The kids loved it. And the adults had the smart idea to let the kids eat yucky pizza there and then we stopped on the way home to get Cafe Rio. We are so wise!

Cute little pirates!

These girls are such great friends. I'm so glad Tiff and I have girls around the same age=)

We cashed in all the kids tickets and they had over 1,000 just enough to buy each kid a plastic sword. It only cost $30.00 to get the swords which were probably worth around a buck a piece. But it was worth it seeing the kids so happy=)


THE BAPTISM

Uncle Marco was nice enough to baptize Krissa. He gave her a beautiful confirmation she was so happy to finally get baptized. My mom asked if she felt the spirit after her baptism Krissa said yes. My mom said how and Krissa said "I just felt like I had done something really good". What a great answer. I love this little girl!

Just a side note on the beautiful dress she has on. It was actually a dress that was bought about 12 years ago for my wedding. My niece was supposed to wear it in my wedding but at the last minute couldn't come. My mom gave it to me and ironically the shoes and everything fit Krissa for her baptism=)


Jacee, Nathan,Tiff, Ava,Krissa, Marco Brooklyn

Grandma Ann and Krissa

Uncle Marco and Krissa

Our family. Notice my hubby in a suit. He actually bought two. He said one was for baptisms the other for primary programs. All I can say is he was looking pretty smokin in a suit=) Even though he isnt a member of the church he does anything for his family especially his kids and I love him for that!

Brian and I bought her this CTR ring and some scriptures with her name on them.

Marco and Tiff got her this pretty necklace with her birthstone on it and it says I am a child of god.

I was lucky to have my sissy there. She loves to take pictures and I love to hand the camera over to someone who knows how to use it. Thanks again Tiff=)

I just love this picture of Krissa and her Dad. It makes it even better that neither one of them knew Tiff was taking it=)

Grandma Ann got Krissa a baptism memories book and a cute little I am a child of god plaque.

Just one more of Baby Ava. Do you blame me?

Brady and Basketball

Brady just started basketball and so far its just practice until next week. But its still pretty darn cute=)

Random pictures and some wrestling....

I just have to brag on Krissa for a minute. She drew this picture of a horse and I had to share. Isn't it great!

She wouldn't wear this outfit and crown for Halloween but now I can't get her to take it off. What a sweet little princess!

One thing I love about Brian is his ability to get down on the ground and play with the kids. He is such a great daddy! (Although I think he secretly gets some joy out of beating the kids with the hulk hands=)
