THIS CHRISTMAS WAS SO EXCITING FOR THE KIDS. THEY LOVE THEIR BIKES AND CAN NOT WAIT TO TAKE THEM FOR A RIDE OUTSIDE. THEY ARE ALSO THANKFUL FOR ALL THE GIFTS THAT THEY RECIEVED THIS YEAR.

HURRAY JESSIE IS BACK FROM HER MISSION IN ALASKA. THE KIDS HAD FUN MAKING THE POSTERS FOR JESSIE AND DID A GOOD JOB HOLDING THEM FOR JESSIE TO SEE. THESE WERE THE BEST PICTURES THAT I TOOK AT THE AIRPORT. WE ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE JESSIE BACK HOME.

I THOUGHT THESE DRESSES ARE SO ADORABLE. MY FAMILY TAKES GREAT PICTURES AS YOU CAN SEE. THIS IS THE BEST WE COULD GET.

SO WE SAW AFTON ON HER BLOG AND THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE THE LACES SHE WAS TRYING TO TIE WERE TO LONG FOR HER AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS SHE COULD TIE A SHOE.

THIS IS MY SWEET LITTLE EMMA. WHO LOVES LIPSTICK AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PICTURE. SHE ASKED EVERYDAY IS SHE CAN WEAR SOME LIPSTICK AND SOMETIMES IF I AM NOT WATCHING THIS IS HOW SHE ENDS UP LOOKING. SHE IS ALWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR SOME LIPSTICK.

A FEW CUTE PICTURE'S OF MY KIDS ON HALLOWEEN.

SO THIS HALLOWEEN I DID THE WIZARD OF OZ AND MY KIDS TURNED OUT SO CUTE. HALLOWEEN WAS A LOT OF FUN AND WE ACTUALLY WENT DOOR TO DOOR THIS YEAR.

THIS WAS TRED'S FIRST HUNT WITH HIS DAD AND GRANDPA RICK. HE LOVE'S THE OUTDOORS AND IS STILL ASKING EVERYDAY IF HE IS GOING HUNTING.

SO WE HAVE THIS CAT THAT COMES TO THE HOUSE EVERYDAY AND TRED LOVES IT. YES THE CAT HAS NO TAIL. EVERYDAY HE ASK TO GO OUTSIDE AND SEE THE CAT.

TRED HAS BEEN OUT HELPING IS DAD BUILD A ROOM IN THE GARAGE AND I FOUND HIM WITH THIS ON.

TRED WAS SO CUTE HE SAW THIS SNAKE HAT AND HAD TO WEAR IT. HE WOULD CRY IF YOU TOOK IT OFF. SO WE DECIDED TO TAKE SOME PICTURES BUT GOT IN TROUBLE WITH THE STORE. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO TAKE PICTURES WITH THE MERCHANDISE ON. SO WE BOUGHT THE HAT AND HE LOVES WEARING IT.

EMMA WAS SO FUNNY ON THE CARRIAGE WITCH RIDE. SHE REALLY LOVED THE WITCH WHO TOLD THEM JOKES AND STORY'S.

THEY ALSO HAVE A CUTE AND FUN PETTING ZOO. THE KIDS SEEM TO BE ENJOYING THEMSELVES.

THIS IS WHEN WE WENT TO SEE THE WITCHES AT GARDNER VILLAGE. MY KIDS LOVE THE WITCHES AS YOU CAN TELL. THEY WERE HUGGING THEM AND EVEN DOING THE HULA DANCE. IT WAS VERY CUTE.

UNCLE CARSON AND AUNT GENELLE CAME TO VISIT AND WHILE THEY WERE VISITING THE GIRLS GOT A HAIRCUT. EMMA'S IS TO HER SHOULDER'S AND ABBY'S IS TO HER CHIN. I THINK THAT THE HAIRCUTS ARE SO CUTE. THANK YOU GENELLE.

SO WHILE WE WERE CAMPING CODY FOUND THIS CATERPILLAR. I WANTED TO SEE IF ONE OF MY KIDS WOULD PUT THE CATERPILLAR ON THEIR ARM BECAUSE MY MOM HAS A PICTURE OF ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE WITH A CATERPILLAR ON MY ARM. THIS IS THE BEST I COULD DO. I TRIED TO GET EMMA TO HOLD IT PUT SHE WAS NOT GOING TO TOUCH ANY BUGS. SHE KEPT THINKING THAT ANTS WERE GOING TO GET HER WHEN SHE WOULD BE OUT ON THE DIRT SO SHE SPENT MOST THE TIME IN THE TRAILER.

WE HAVE GONE CAMPING THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. SENSE WE DID NOT GO DURING THE SUMMER TIME. THE KIDS HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GO AND THEY REALLY ENJOYED THE MOUNTAINS.

ABBY HAS FINALLY STARTED KINDERGARTEN. SHE LOVES IT AND LOVES HAVING HER FRIENDS MCKAYLEE AND HANNAH IN HER CLASS. HER TEACHER'S NAME IS MRS. LEMMON AND SHE GOES IN THE AFTERNOON. BUT I DO WISH THAT SHE COULD HAVE BEEN MORNING BECAUSE SHE IS ALWAYS ASKING ME IF IT IS TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL. ALSO SHE IS WEARING HER FAVORITE T-SHIRT HANNAH MONTANA.

SO WE FINALLY DID IT. WE PLANTED A GARDEN. IT HAS ACTUALLY PRODUCED FOOD FOR US TO EAT. WE HAVE HAD PEA'S RED ONIONS AND SOME LETTUCE. MY HUSBAND IS VERY PROUD OF THIS GARDEN AND TOLD ME I SHOULD BLOG THE GARDEN. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE MY PROJECT BUT MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN OVER AND IT LOOKS WONDERFUL.

EMMA BEING CREATIVE WITH THE PUMPKIN LEAVES FROM THE GARDEN. MAYBE ONE DAY SHE WILL BE A DESIGNER.

ON SUNDAY WE HAD THE FAMILY COME OVER AND HAVE CAKE AND ICE CREAM FOR TRED'S BIRTHDAY. THIS CAKE WAS MADE BY A LADY IN MY WARD. I THOUGHT SHE DID A GREAT JOB AND WE ALL ENJOYED THE CAKE.

IT WAS TRED'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 19TH. WE DECIDED TO GO CAMPING AND SLEEPOVER IN THE BACK OF THE TAHOE. THE KIDS HAD A BLAST EATING THE MARSHMALLOW'S AND DIRT. ALSO THE CANYON WAS VERY PRETTY WITH ALL THE WILDFLOWERS THAT WERE BLOOMING.

THIS WAS ABBY'S FIRST FISH SHE CAUGHT. SHE DID EVERYTHING BY HERSELF. SHE WAS VERY PROUD. THE KIDS PICKING FLOWERS WHILE WE WERE WAITING TO GO INTO THE FISH HATCHERY.
