6 Years

Jack and i have now been married for 6 whole years! I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband, a best friend, and the best father for my children! He works so hard for our family and provides love and support to me every day. I Thank our Heavenly Father every day for blessing me with such a loving, caring man!

Christmas in Cedar

We headed down to Cedar City after we saw all the family and got to see all the family down there. I love that we get to see so many family members for Christmas...I just wish we could see all of them!
Charlie and Albert reading his new Goldbug book together.

All of Jacks siblings pitched in and got MaryJo this nice backpack to go hiking with.

Charlie LOVED playing in this box while we were there!

So much so that I got in and played with him....

...and so did Grandma Jo:)

However it tipped over at one point and he hit his poor little ear on the glass table and his ear swelled up and turned purple within seconds...poor little guy! It didn't stop him from playing in it later that day:)

Christmas Day

This was such a fun Christmas! Charlie was old enough to really understand it this year and it was so much fun watching him open his presents! Nick didn't really know what was going on but he sure was happy:)

Charlie got some dinosaurs.

Nick not really sure what to do with his present.

Charlie got a sweet new bike from Santa Clause! He was so excited I love it!

After we all got ready we headed to my Moms to see all the family and have a yummy breakfast. Charlie, Me, Nick, Bryn, Maddie, Ashley, and Grandma Lucy.

This last picture is Charlie after his darling cousin Bryn put an entire bottle of lotion in his hair and hot pink lip gloss on his lips:) I was laughing so hard!

Better Late than Never...

Christmas Eve at my parents house was a blast as always. Aunt Jill and Jamie came, along with Grandma Lucy, and all my siblings with their families. We had yummy food and got to open a couple presents.

Got Mail?

I love Christmas time because you get all the fun Christmas cards from family and friends and this year like most others we have also gotten packages from loved ones and Charlie LOVES it! We got singing cards from Mimi and Pappy with gift cards and both the boys loved them! I got it on video and it is darling so thanks so much Mimi and Pappy we love you!


The package we got today was from Grandma Barb and Uncle Jerry. The kids got darling stuffed animals and Charlie has not stopped hugging his new puppy. Nick is chewing on his new bear but that is how he shows affection so he LOVES it! Thanks Barb and Jerry we love you!

Decorating the Tree and Lights

We decorated the Christmas tree a couple weeks ago and then we got to go see the lights at Temple Square with Julie and Aaron. Charlie thought the waterfalls were the best part of the lights and was so excited that the nice lady let him pet the horse...it made his night! (Look closely at his face it is hysterical!) Nick wasn't really sure what to make of it all so he eventually just fell asleep:)

6 Months

Nick turned 6 months on the 10th and he got his sad little shots on the 14th. Charlie was so mad at the nurse for poking him and making him cry! He wrinkled his nose, put his hands on his hips and said, "Don't you hurt my baby Neeco!" He calls him Neeco not Nick...what a good big brother. Nick weighs 13 lbs. 5 oz. and is 26 in. long. He is crawling all over and loves to do dog piles with Charlie and Dad. Here are some pics of his CHUBBY thighs!
