Emery turns #2

The birthday I dread more than my own, is that of my baby. Each year

she continues to do what I had her for that is to help me appreciate more, enjoy more,

laugh more and remeber what matters most. All children are a gift from God and

should be cherished. I feel so blessed to have Emery in my life she is truly an angel and I love being her mom.

My boy turns 9

Words can't describe what an amazing boy he is. I feel so blessed to

be his mom. He is so caring, swee,t concerned, and sincere. He truly wants

to make every proud. So wonderful with his sisters, and me. Aiden loves his Lego's and

being in scouts. He wllingly goes to piano and does soccor. His greatest wish is to do karate( mom is still trying to find

time.) I can't control time, or the tears I shed as my kids grow, but I thoroughly

enjoy every day with them. I am so blessed!

Snow day 2012

One of the perks of living in Boise is the mild winters. Yes it gets cold but

not very cold. About once a year we get dumped on. You have to get out and enjoy
it cause it dosen't last long, and we did, it was great! Now we have to wait till next

year.

My moms aren't I lucky

cookie decorating

bear hugs

This was such a great Christmas. We had our first Christmas at mom and dad's new house. We also were lucky to have both grandparents to celebrate with. We spent the day in Emmett making cookies, opening presents, eating good food and playing minute to win it games. We had lots of fun and were home in plenty of time to have our own family time to remember our savior. After putting the kids to bed and getting things ready for the big day we realized we had left our video camera and camera in Emmett, (which is 45 min away). Not being able to capture the magic on video was more than I could bear. Justin realizing my dismay offered to drive back to Emmett and save the Christmas memories. What a great guy, he truly saved Christmas for me.

Kensley is four

She will always be my little Christmas baby. What a great gift, she is such sweet a girl. Gentle tempered, whether she is mad, tired, or just sad it all comes from tears. She is such a funny girl too, always making us laugh. The other day in church she rushed down the pew to tattle on daddy who she thought was playing "angry birds" he really had the hymns on. But if she sees an Iphone she thinks it's angry birds. Also taking on her Christmas heritage she told me the other day that she wanted her last name to be Christmas. Waiting for her hair to grow, and idealizing Alayna she is a wonderful part of our family.

The ballerina

This is my little ballerina, otherwise known as "stone cold" she was so nervous and stubborn she didn't crack a smile or move a muscle during her whole performance. It was hilarious. Kids are so funny. Needless to say her dancing career has been put on hold until she is a little more ready.

This is a silly little girl. She is so spoiled and sassy. She is almost 2 and hasn't uttered most toddlers fav word "no", because she has never heard the world no before. Everyone gives her everything she want's were in big trouble when the terrible two's hit!
