Christmas Ready-ness

It's like Mother Nature knew we were going to put up the Christmas tree today. The snow was the perfect setting to begin the holiday season!

The tree ribbon is new this year and I think it adds that perfect "final touch" to it!

 The little details...
 

SNOW much fun!

I am Thankful for...

family... everyday... every single one of them...


I am thankful for mother nature allowing us to make the drive up to Logan this year without worrying about driving through a blizzard!

I am thankful for this man... my husband... my best friend...

...a wonderful father to these little turkeys...

... and sexy to boot! He makes me laugh everyday.

I am thankful for blogs. They give me the ideas to make cute things like this flower bow. I am especially thankful my daughter is a girly-girl!

 I am thankful for the unconditional love these two give me everyday.

I am thankful for all my family, both near & far. I miss them all dearly and hope everyone has as much to be thankful for. XOXO

Rollin' with the Hochs

After a ho-hum viewing of the latest Harry Potter movie, Shane felt we needed something to still finish off the weekend (he has Mondays off so it's still weekend-mode for him). Bowling it is! We haven't been for awhile and invited the Hochs to join us. Kaylan received the highest score of the night on the kids' side and Jarrod for the adult side. I received the lowest score for the adults (and maybe the kids' too- I didn't check). I think next time I'll use the bumpers!


 Isabel got a spare! Ten fingers for ten pins.

Lex & Shane

Damien showing his excitement!

 Lex & his strike!

Woods Cross Gang- love, love, love Kaylan's smile here!

Just to show I was there, too!

I'm pretty sure she had a good time! Ya think?

Cold Turkey Fun Meet

Lex & Bel are both in recreational tumbling & gymnastics. So, since they don't compete, it's not often we get to see how much they've learned in class. The gym does a fun meet for the rec members and parents, families, & friends can come see their skills. They both enjoy showing us what they can do.

First Snow

Kids peeking through the blinds...

Isabel: Aaaahhhh, it's snowing! Santa's coming!

Lex: Does that mean the leprechauns are making toys now?

About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
