Christmas and New Years 2009

I am so excited I finally got this put together. We had a great Christmas. We went to Brent's families home in Salmon, Idaho. The kids defiantly got spoiled with all their fun Aunts and loved every minute. The boys spent most of the time building things with Jake's new Lego's and Eva entertained all of us. I couldn't believe there was no snow, so we had to go play in the snow for New Years Day when we got home to Utah. We played with all the cousins at Grandma and Granddad's house. The kids got dragged around behind the four wheelers in Grandads new toboggan. On New Years eve we went with Grandma to see "Princess and the Frog", which is now one of my very favorites! It was Eva's first big movie, she didn't do so well.

Christmas Activities

Jake did awesome at his school program. I love how he wears his Santa hat. It's because his dad told him once it looked really cute, so ever since then that's the only way he wears his hats. Grandma and cousin Hanna fought the snow storm and were lucky to make it to see him.

Thanks to all our sweet neighbors for the yummy and cute treats!
Dressing up and dressing down for Christmas!

I did a purse and jewelry party just before Christmas. Eva couldn't be more excited about anything. She was in heaven!

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!

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!

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