So this happened...

Yep... We are finally legal! James says now I have to say I'm from AZ...

Check her out.....

Here is Mads @ her last game, she totally rocked! And P got some really good pics... Way to finish the season strong!

Here's our BOY!

We are so proud of P, he has made the honor roll twice this school year! His goal is to hit high honors this semester. I'm so proud him, keep up the good work Pal! We celebrated with a lil ice cream! :)

Happy 15th Maddi Jane...

Happy Birthday to our baby girl! She is beautiful inside and out, we love her and are so proud of the beautiful young lady she is becoming. She is very responsible, caring and the best helper. I love the example she is to me... I love you Sis!

Here's our girl!

So it's nearing the end of the season & this girl has rocked it! I'm so proud of her & her dedication,she has got to practice and play goalie the last few games... We are so proud of her for trying something new and it's been so fun to see how much she has improved. Yesterday we took a lil road trip to go watch her game in Cottonwood, AZ. It was raining and freezing cold, but it was well worth it! Afterwards we got to eat a yummy dinner @ Olive Garden! 

Happy Birthday Mer! 1/3/2015

While we were in Utah we also got to celebrate my moms 60th birthday! Jacki did a great job of hosting and planning everything. It was a surprise and I think it all went well!

I'm so grateful for my mom and her wonderful example, she is an excellent cook, cleaner, organizer, handy man, and a wonderful example in the gospel. I love you Mom! 

P.S. Aren't all those tiny kids just so cute! :)

Snow!

We got a lil snow here in K-town on New Years Eve, we got a total of about 8 inches, way more than we saw in Utah.... It was crazy, this whole town shut down! The kids both stayed in Utah while James & I came back for work, so they totally missed it! 

We went back to Utah on the 1st to get the kids and have a lil more fun! James got to go snowmobiling a few times and loved it! Mads spent most of her time hanging with Jake and her other friends... And the highlight of my trip was seeing all my lil nieces and nephews, and watching my big nephews @ their wrestling meet and last but not least Kobe & I got to go hot tub @ Crystal with Jerian & Jody and the kids.

A lil Utah fun for Kobe!

The kids loved hanging out with their cousins & friends.... Going up to the property with Aunt B. and her boys was one of the highlights of Kobe's Christmas vacation.... 1/1/2015

Christmas Time...

We spent Christmas in Utah and it was fabulous! We loved being able to be with all our family & friends. This is a picture of all of us Christmas Day! :)

Kobe got to go to Utah a few days earlier than the rest of us, so he missed out on a few things we did here @ home. That is why he isn't included in the next few pics... I'm kinda sad I didn't get a pic of him in his new church pants and Christmas tie.... He got to ride from Vegas to Tremonton with James Hawkes in his semi and he thought it was the best thing ever! Aunt B. picked him up and he surprised Carson! It was so sweet....

Here is our beautiful girl in her 1st pair of high heels and her Christmas dress, she is all grown up! Her dad didn't really approve of her "short" dress & heels... I told him, I guess this is my lesson and what I get for letting her pick out & try on her own dress without looking at it. I guess I felt like if she liked it then we were good to go... 12/21

After we dropped Kobe off to ride with James Hawkes, the 3 of us went to the the Las Vegas motor sports park and saw the Christmas lights. It was pretty dang cool, I think it will be one of our new traditions. 12/19

We hosted a lil Christmas party here @ our house with our AZ peeps. We had a lil dinner, did an ornament exchange, played the reindeer game & frosted sugar cookies... I thought it was a pretty fun lil party.... But I made way too many cookies! So after church Sunday, James, Maddi & I made up a few plates and took them to the homeless shelter. :) 12/20

Kobe's 1st school dance... 12/12

Here in AZ they do school dances at the middle school a lil differnt, they aren't during school. They are held after school, śo here is our handsome boy all ready to go!
