Big Birthday Bash!

This year we decided to have a joint party for Katie and Cole

at Bounce U. We had quite a rowdy crowd, but they had so much fun. I didn't have to do a thing, but be there. Now that's my kind of party!

I Love St. George.......

After Christmas we took a short trip to

St.George to visit with some of my family.

If I had it my way we would have already moved there.

For being a small town, there is so much to do and see.

I had a blast hanging with my family.....I miss them so.

Rena and Chris love taking us on these hikes

that make your thighs burn. My kids just ran up the mountain, even

mylee. (she's our non-hiker) She sang the whole way up.

Of course my kids thought cliff jumping into the sand would be fun..

Cole being the first to think that. Thank goodness he didn't break his leg again.

A Christmas Story

I'm a little behind on my blogging. We had a wonderful, low key Christmas. Christmas Eve we had a few of Ty's sister's and their families over for our Mexican fiesta and of course our rendition of the Christmas story. I absolutely love Ty's family. I'm especially grateful to have them as close as they are.

Have you ever seen a prettier Mary?

Ty played a wise man, very fitting for him. He tells our kids on a daily basis that he is the
the smartest man alive.

The whole gang

Sunday Best

The girls were so excited to wear their fur shaws.

I usually buy them a practical outfit for Christmas, but i knew

they would love to be FANCY!

Katie and Cole are still the best pals.

Everyone say cheese! this is not the best

picture of our family, but they are sooooo cute!

1st Place!

Cole is our very talented gymnast! This was the first meet of the season. Cole didn't do all that well himself, but their team placed first. Cole has really enjoyed gymnastics and is quite good. The team has some really strong boys this year. Hopefully that will help them in upcoming meets.
