Happy Birthday!!! We had a blast celebrating Grandma's birthday with her. The kids were so excited about the celebration. They made Mom a cute apron, and definitely helped her blow out the candles. We love you Grandma! Thank you for all you do.

Fool Proof Ice-Skating SLC Dec. 2010
O.K. so my kids didn't suddenly develop physical disabilities, it's their first time ice-skating. With their protective gear, they were all set. Michael and Kailee took to it likes champs, Preston on the other hand was feeling quite sick in the car on the way and had to skip out. We're definitely going to be trying this at home.
Once upon a flood... Dec. 2010
We arrived in St. George just a few days before Christmas. There was warning of severe rain and melting snow, which meant... watch the river.
The river had flooded surprisingly just 5 years before. Following that flood there were several precautions made that would prevent similar damage if another flood occured. So we waited. We watched from my parents property up on the hill, as the water kept rising. The river which on the average day is mild and easy to cross, was now a beast. The animals in the field were wailing, and the river rumbling... Rescue time. The boys went down to the farm to free the cows, birds, and gather the horses.
It was a terrifying, emotional and bonding time for our family. We were grateful to be together and extremely grateful the rain subsided.
Now: Operation clean-up. The farm was left covered in mud, fences down, and trees a mess, but for the most part the property stayed in tact. We'll see what spring brings to this child wonderland. It's a favorite place for my children to go.
Truly wish we could have stayed longer to help out... seriously.

One of the greatest blessings for us during the holidays is the time we're able to spend with family. Each December seems to fill our void of missing family, which only lasts shamefully until mid January... then the kids start asking to see their cousins again.

Thanksgiving 2010
We had a fun Thanskgiving this year. We were lucky to share it with the Williams and Palacios families. Great company, great food... I vote we have Thanksgiving more often!
We had an awesome time together. It is always fun to see what people bring and share new recipes. The big hit of the day was Macaroni and cheese... and those orange malt balls you see in the picture. Don't worry, we did serve other things like turkey, potatoes, pie, stuffing, yummy!

Happy Birthday my Man!
Somewhere between My birthday and Thanksgiving falls Adam's Birthday. The poor guy is usually smothered with chaos. He celebrated his special day by... none other than putting wood f
loors in our Master Bedroom. They look GORGEOUS! I must say I married quite the handyman. Though it was a lot of work, Adam has wanted our room done for a long time, and it made for a great birthday.
That night we had Adam's favorite BBQ Chicken pizza and of course some Rice-Crispy Treats for dessert. The kids and I gave Adam golf lessons at a nearby golf course, which I know he's excited for.
Look Who's 30!
Who would have thought turning 30 could be so much fun??? I woke up at 6:00am to a knock at the door and a beautiful rendition of "Happy Birthday" from many of my friends gathered on my doorstep. They decorated my front yard, brought me gifts... and Breakfast!!! Yummy. I can't believe I am surrounded by so many thoughtful ladies. I had others pop in throughout the day with additional birthday wishes! Adam surprised me with a new camera which I will try to put to good use. I'm sooo excited!
