Black Family Christmas

I am so far behind on blogging, (I had to find time to figure out picture downloading) I decided to start at the begining. This is at the Black Family Christmas party. We were sad my brother wasn't able to make it home from training to be with us. Dang the snow storms! That didn't stop the craziness from happening though. We had a yummy dinner and opened gifts from our secret freinds and enjoyed all the kids.

I love these people so much, there is not a day that goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for my greatest blessings!

The Holidays so far!

So here is a few pictures from the Holidays so far . . . . .

Carving pumpkins and Eva's first peice of candy. Give her a dum dum and she is your best freind!

We had Thanksgiving with my family this year. Mom had the whole house decorated and the dinner was amazing!

Our in-between the holiday Vegas trip.

Getting ready for Christmas. . . . . and more to come!

Crazy Days!

Wow, we have been busy! Here is just a few photos of what we have been up too. It's all a good kind of busy though. . . .

Another Moving Day

Goodbye Summer, you will be missed!

Here is just a few pictures of our last sunny days at the park. I've been getting behind on posting because we have been moving ( those pictures are to come also) After picking Jake up from school one day, he suggested we go to the park. What a awesome idea, we had so much fun! I love those spontaneous times, it always seem we have the best times then!

When the babies are away the Momma's will play!

We all were counting down for this weekend Mommy's getaway. We stayed in park City and did a lot of shopping, playing and hanging out with some amazing friends of mine! It was so much fun. I was so glad my sister Laura could join in the fun too. The colors on the mountain were so beautiful, although we didn't get to go see much of that. We packed the whole weekend with all the crazy girl stuff you can imagine!

On our way to Park city

Shopping!

Going for a morning swim after just three hours of sleep (good thing nobody fell asleep in the pool)

Trying to find our room, again.

We went out to eat at a restaurant down Main st.

The whole Gang!

She's a shoppn' girl!

Eva's first time in the shopping cart!

I don't know what it is about having a girl. It just makes you wanna shop!! I usually don't like shopping but having a companion makes it a whole lot easier. I don't mind dragging her along, she likes it. She likes it when I try hats on her and she loves to chew the shoes. I guess it's JUST FUN BEING A GIRL!

Finally a vacation!

On the way to Park City we had to stop at Bridal Veil Falls. I couldn't believe Brent had never seen it up close before. The kids were tired out from our hectic lifestyle lately and were ready for a break.

We rode the trolley down old Main St and got some yummy ice cream and pizza.

Relaxing at the pool and resort.

So sorry for not posting this sooner. We have been trying to clean, paint and move to our old house. We finally did make it away for vacation though. We went up to our favorite place in Park City, The Westgate. At the resort they have so many things to do, we had so much fun.
