In the past 12 years

We have….

Lived in 4 houses (one was a rental)

Had 9 different vehicles (down to just one now=)

Had 6 dogs (4 we still have)

Moved 4 times (All of those in the past 5 years)

Work for 5 different company's between us

Been on 2 vacations (both were in the past 2 years and no we didn’t take a honeymoon)

Lived in 2 states Idaho and Utah

Struggled with infertility and then struggled with 2 kids 14 months apart=)

Had 2 boats (we still have one)

Done foster care (which apparently was the cure to our infertility haha)

Had 3 kids

Grown up a lot….Physically and emotionally

I can’t wait for the next 60. I had no idea when I married Brian how great he was going to be. I didn’t know what a great dad he would be or that he would just be a great husband. I knew he was a great guy and I loved him so much. I just didn’t know then that I would be able to love him even more after 12 years. I truly feel like the luckiest woman in the world. The only thing that will make me happier is if Krissa and Paislee find a guy just like him and if Brady turns out just like him. Yep I’m lucky.

Jeremy, Jamie and Ashton

I was so excited to finally meet my Great Nephew Ashton. I can’t believe it took me 5 months to finally meet him but he was well worth the wait. I love his cute little chubbiness and I swear he had a smile on his face 90 % of the time. It was great to see Jamie and Jeremy its times like these that I'm really sad we don't live closer to family.

 

I love this picture of Ashton kissing Paislee apparently he got over her continuously calling him a she. =)

Cute little monkey costume.

Trick or Treating at the Mall. It was really busy but we did get lots of candy and we didn't  get rained on =)

Halloween Party

Some of Brian and I’s friends invited us to a Halloween party in Duchesne. We borrowed Brian's costume, dropped the kids off (Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa) and headed to the party. They had worked really hard on the food and decorations and we had a great time. I can’t wait to do again next year!

Kamrie’s Volleyball Game

We were in Duchesne for a Halloween party and I heard that Kamrie was playing her last volleyball game that same night. So I was so excited I actually got to go watch one of my nieces play something. She did a great job and I'm still in shock of how grown up she is looking =)

Paislee’s School Halloween Party

Barbie Princess

Kyna and Paislee or Bell and Barbie princess=)

Dallin,Kyna, Paislee, Claire,Lily,Bella, Gavin

Playing with paislee

I think every one of our dogs has had paislee’s  lovey on them at one time or another. Today was sammy’s turn. Luckily she is game for anything as long as someone is paying attention to her. Including the game below where paislee made her sit with the cow and I’m not really sure what they did after that. =)

 

I just know she was mad at me for taking a picture.

But she was happy when I took this picture of her after she got herself and her baby all situated on the couch=)

On a side note I had to laugh when I picked up Paislee from preschool and she told me she wanted to marry Rhone (a boy in her class) . Later I told Brian and he told Paislee she couldn't get married right now… at that point she literally threw herself on the ground crying. haha

All I want for Christmas is…

MY TWO FRONT TEETH=)

Just Because

Just because it was the kids primary program today and Brian goes to church on those days I thought I would get a picture of all of us dressed up…. and

because lets face it my kids are stinking cute….and

because my hubby is such a good daddy and husband and lets also admit he looks great in a suit=)….and

because Brian talked Brady into doing this in front of everyone in sacrament after his little part in the primary program. (I’m just glad most people knew that this little stunt had Brian written all over it) Although I have to say it was pretty funny and Brady did get some extra video game time out of it=)
