Christmas 2013

After waking up we hung out for a bit and ate some delicious cinnamon rolls while we waited for everyone to get to Kyle's parents house.




 After everyone got there we tried to get a picture with all the grandkids....my kids of course were not cooperative.




 I was at least able to sneak a quick pic of my and the boys in.
A TON of gift opening....



Kyle trying on Jamin's football helmet lol







LOVE HIM!
 Breakfast round 2....aka everything cooked in bacon grease but so good. I paid for it later though :(

 After lunch/breakfast round 2 we headed over to my parent's house.




His smile...

 We have learned our lesson in the past so my mom the past few years has been making a light and healthy dinner for us on Christmas!





The boys and Kyle and I were all very spoiled though by 'Santa' (yes my mom still puts on the gift tags that things are from Santa!...We love it).

It was a difficult season for me because of how sick I was. I wanted to do so much more for my family and really take in what Christ did for us but there were many days that I physically could not. I am so thankful for Jesus and his birth into this world. I am also very thankful for an amazing family and friends! Happy Birthday to our Savior Jesus Christ!!

Wonderful little company!

Yesterday I had the honor to watch Nathan. Nathan's parents are Matt and Sonya, friends from our small group at church. We had a blast all afternoon. Both the boys didn't take naps so I thought it was going to be a rough afternoon but I think they got energy from one another. I was nervous for dinner time too but they both did great. Both ate like champs...even ate their vegetables!  I put these two to work right away lol Busy building something great! We went outside for a bit. It was hard to keep these two together in the front so we headed out back! Nathan loved exploring! Showing me a sweet rock that he found! Jamin exploring too! Wondering where he should go next. There are so many things to see in our backyard  The boys looking at the rocks and weeds lol Nathan showing Jamin the treasure (weed) that he found! We played on the swings for a while too. One would be in this swing while I held the other in the other swing! (Sorry my...

4/20-4/24

I couldn't really think of a title for this post so I decided to just states the dates lol. Last week Jamin and I went to Focus on the Family with our friends Sonya and Nathan. I just got done reading Bringing Up Boys which was written by the Founder of Focus on the Family, Dr. James Dobson. Although Focus on the Family is a place I would hear about while growing up, I really didn't know a lot about it. My friend Sonya went to their Institute and so our trip planning began to go visit it!  Group picture after taking the tour  We can never get a great shot of the boys lol These were taken in their really awesome play area! Love this picture! Stroller parking!!! A smile that makes my heart melt everytime! Jamin and Nathan Mommy was way too big for this little boat lol Silly faces  We also went to the zoo with Sonya and Nathan last week. Here are a few pictures! We even go the moose in the picture! Jamin got scared of the big hippo :( ...

Road Trip Part 5

Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous!  Just driving in Harvey!  We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
