Kinda crazy!

 Ryan and Connor do a pretty good job of playing coach potatoes :) Connor will sit with him until

they both start to get warm...he definitely takes after his dad. Ryan could wear

shorts all year around and never be cold. Well at least I know if Connor is a little fussy, I just 

go outside and cool him down. It is so awesome to learn about their little quirks.. Life is good :)

 We have been really busy for the past two months... Here is a sneak peek at the outfit Connor had 

on for his Christmas pics... Pretty cute huh?... Even if some people don't think too highly

of this outfit... You know who you are.

 Cheese!... Well here is just a few pics from Turkey Day... I will post A LOT more after the holidays

I think we have been to 2 work parties, Birthday parties, Dinners, and 

a few Holidays in between... We have really enjoyed spending time with our family and friends...

We are VERY BLESSED indeed...

 Dan and Mel.... Aww... Cute huh? Thanks you two for all that you do for US!

We are thankful that you three are in our lives...

We heart each other...

I am so thankful for such an AMAZING family!! Ryan you are 

the MOST INCREDIBLE husband and father... I 

am so thankful for all the love and support that I get from you every single day. And Connor

you are the best gift EVER! Your dad and I love you so much and feel so fortunate

to have you in our lives... You are VERY special to us!

Connor's Blessing

 We invited our families over to watch Connor's Baby Blessing. James, my brother in law, gave Connor's Blessing and did such a wonderful job. It actually brought tears to my eyes. We are so fortunate to have such loving relatives and friends. For the special occassion, we rented out our cludhouse to fit all of our guests. And after the blessing we ate delicious dishes that everyone brought.

 It was good getting everyone together... It amazes me how fast Aiden, Tanner, Devon, and Avery

have grown...They are all such cuties!!! I love our FAMILY!

Some R&R

                We had such a relaxing time up at the cabin...Ryan, Connor, and I drove up Friday night so we could wake up bright and early Saturday morning. The weather was so perfect all weekend! All we needed was our hoodies and if we got chilly we would just cuddle up next to the fire.

     We got plenty of naps in over the weekend. When we weren't outside soaking up the sun and enjoying the quiet we would take quick cat naps in the chair next to the fire... I loved it. Spending quality time with my sweet husband and my precious Connor. Life doesn't get any better.....

                            I just love our little family. We just enjoy all the little moments that we share together and look forward to the memories that we will make in the future... I am so grateful for all of life's blessings the man upstairs has givin me. Thank you :)

This year we decided to go as farmers with our little prize winning pumpkin...Ryan even got overalls :) Friday night we went over to The Peacocks house for a fun night of activities. The kids decorated little pumpkins, we watched scary movies, danced around the house, and had such a fun time. It's so crazy to think we all have kids... Time goes by so fast.

The Farmers sayin CHEESE!

A little bit of Lyn

Lyn came to visit us and stayed for over three weeks to help with Connor :) We had such a good time...We went to Gardner Village, she helped us with our garage sale, watched a movie with Ry's sisters, aunts, and Grandma Linda, we spent some time at the park, and she stayed with Connor and me while Ryan was elk hunting. It seems like every time Lyn comes to Utah we try to convince her to move here. She is such a fun person and we always enjoy her company. I know that the three of us would fly to Dallas in a heart beat to help Lyn move up here. I  think in a few years, our wish will come true :) At least I hope it does. I know that Connor and Avery would love spending more time with their Great Aunt Lyn. 

We love you lots Lynnie Pooh!
