The greatest blessing that I have is to be a mother. I love my children so much. They are my best friends. I love them with all of my heart. They are so much fun and full of life. They help me want to become a better mom. Words will never beable to express how much I love my kids. I am so lucky to be their mom and have them in my life. I find myself amazed everyday by the things they say and do. I love playing and talking with them. I will always treasure every memory I have with them. They are so special.

We had a christmas party at the church with Paul's family. It was so much fun! The kids were able to play with lots of cousins, eat pizza, play games, frost cookies and best of all tell Santa if they have been "Naughty or Nice". They were so excited to see Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Jade started was so excited that she started to scream and asked him if he was SANTA. Skylan wanted a new kitchen set, polly pockets, a scooter, and anything pink. Jade wanted a new kitchen set, baby dolls, doll equipt., and polly pockets. Daxton wanted to rip Santa's beard off, a bottle, cookie, real food and his mamma.
I love seeing the girls in their beautiful christmas dresses. They look like beautiful princesses. Skylan loves her dress and calls it her wedding dress. She was so excited to wear it to church. She would wear it everyday if I let her. The only thing that would make it better for her is if it had pink instead of red. She is obsessed with pink and clothes. She loves to get dressed up and buy new clothes. Just like her mom.
I love your beautiful smiles!!! You can always make me laugh. Even when I don't want to sometimes. I love you!
Paul absolutely loves Christmas. We start listening to christmas music in October, the tree and lights go up after Halloween. I love how much Paul gets into the christmas spirit. He makes it such a magical time of the year and the girls are the same. They talk about it all year long. They love Christmas. His family has lots of fun traditions that they do around christmas and I love it.
I love my 2 boys so much. They are both so awesome! I was so excited to get a momma's boy since my girls are such daddy girls. I am so grateful that even though Dax loves his mommy he still thinks his daddy is pretty cool. I love watching the two of them play together. Dax loves playing rough- all boy. I am so grateful to have these two handsome boys in my life. I am so excited for Paul to beable to teach Daxton how to play ball, hunt and other boy stuff. Mostly I can't wait for them to be best friends like Paul and his dad. Paul's dad is his hero and he adores him. I'm looking forward to watching Paul and Dax play together through the years.



The girls love to dress up.
We went and fed the ducks with Kelly and Mykla. They had the time of their lives. They love to see the ducks and the ducks were really excited to see them. Jade enjoyed the bread just as much as the ducks or even more.
One of our favorite things to do at Christmas time, is read Christmas stories together as a family. It is so much fun and it brings us closer together. There are so many great Christmas stories. We even gave some friends & neighbors a 24 days of Christmas book that I made.


Every year we go to the Christmas Parade in Provo with all of Paul's Family. The girls loved it!! They love to see the parade and of course Santa on the fire truck. They loved to play with their cousins too. This year the weather was so beautiful. It was so much fun. It is usually so cold and lots of snow.
