Party in AZ!

We went for a short trip to Arizona because Jaime had a work conference there. We were able to celebrate Liandrew's birthday while we were there!

He loves axolotls and received this cute 3D printed one from Darin and his girls. 

He got in some good hits on the piƱata!

My kids and their cousins! I feel so blessed that we could see Darin and his girls while we were in Arizona. We invited them to come over for the birthday party since we didn't have a car that fit us all to be able to go see them this time. 



Darin, Elise, Makaela mini golfing. I love the glow in the dark golf balls. 

It wouldn't be a complete trip visit at grandma and grandpa's without getting to swim. 

Aidan enjoys making others laugh. Silly kid. 

Olivia was excited to be able to take a break from school for the weekend and see Tyler. 

The trip was definitely short. Aidan and I flew down on Thursday, Jaime and Tyler flew Friday because Tyler had a game on Thursday. Lindsey, Isaac, Olivia flew in on Thursday night as well. So we had Friday and Saturday all day and then headed back to the airport Sunday. Jaime stayed a couple more days for his conference then flew home on own. The short break was needed by everyone I think. All the kids enjoy the relaxing break from school.

THREE Years?!?!?!

On Wednesday September 3rd, 2008 I was at my Mom's house. I started having small contractions that kept getting more frequent. When I would be talking to my mom and have to stop just to breathe we decided that I was in labor and would probably be going to the hospital that night rather than the next morning for my scheduled induction. We had dinner there and after dinner I told Jaime to go ahead and go to mutual as he was in the Young Men's presidency. I wasn't in enough pain and didn't want to go to the hospital too early. Lindsey and Olivia would stay the night since they were going to anyway so Jaime and I could just get up Thursday morning and head to the hospital to be induced into labor. We got the girls in to bed and I said good bye. My brother Darin was home and he drove me to the hospital at 8:30 p.m. I sent Jaime a message I was going and he and my dad (our ward's bishop) would meet me there. I got checked in by 9 p.m. and the nurse checked me and said I...

Time with James

Image
  I invited my nephew James to come stay with us for a week. He's been so much fun to have around. We've had good Sunday and FHE meetings with him, game time - lots of games, and I've just enjoyed his humor and seeing him spend time with my kids.  More games and smoothies. And having three boys to mow the lawn sure gets the job done quick! They were so helpful and happy to work together.  A cute Koda napping picture for us to enjoy. šŸ˜Š

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is always a fun time for our family. I love getting together with all of my family and all of Jaime's. However as our family gets bigger and everyone has things going on it does make it more hectic for us to get around to go see everyone. We tried to make things a little less hectic and easy by not trying to make it to everything like we have in the past. On Christmas Eve afternoon we went to my parent's house and built gingerbread houses with those who were there. It was fun doing something simple and being able to visit. Over the hills to grandmother's house we go. Aunt Lori and Aidan paired up to build a house. Tyler and I built one, rather I built and Tyler licked. I'm not eating any of this one. ;) Lindsey and Uncle Jon built a skyscraper office building. Olivia and Grandma Marcia built one together. Aunt Elizabeth helped Great-grandma Noble build her very first gingerbread house! Grandma was very excit...
