THANK YOU FOR CHRISTMAS

This holiday season will be one of our most memorable because we have been shown love, thoughtfulness and the spirit of giving from our friends and family. We are so grateful for all our wonderful friends that have helped us through this last year and are happy to be back in Utah with them.

CHRISTMAS PARTIES!!!

We had our Stock Christmas Party in Brigham City and then went bowling.

We had fun making gingerbread trains at the Burton Christmas Party

and of course opening presents.

The kids made crafts at the Bollingers Party and I didn't get pictures of all the fun the parents were having without the kids.

Oakley had a cute little Christmas Program with her preschool which I went to all by myself with Deacon who wanted to sit by "Ya Ya" the whole time. Great Fun!

Christmas Eve was fun at Grandma and Grandpa's

Oakleys Grandma Burton had the cutest book ever made for her...

thats right it says Sleeping Oakley and for those of you that don't know Oakley she is completely obsessed with Sleeping Beauty or Princess Aurora. Oakley will definitely be living happily ever after now.

And FINALLY the day we have all been waiting for CHRISTMAS!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Thanks again to everyone out there who helped make our Christmas wonderful too!!!

I miss my baby boy!

Deacon is getting so big and I have been missing him as a baby.  I came across these in my pictues, isn't he just the sweetest little thing?  I love my "Deac Deac"!!

Halloween

I wasn't going to blog Halloween since Christmas is next week ( I know I'm a little behind) but I just Love Halloween!!  

BIRTHDAYS!!!

It gets so crazy this time of year especially when your kids both have a birthday right next to the holidays.  Our sweet little Deacon turned the Big Terrible 2 on Oct. 31st and Oakley celebrated her 5th birthday Princess style (of course!).  

Deacon is sooo into cars right now.  It has been fun to have a boy and get a break from princesses every once in awhile.

Eating cake with my Pa Pa and playing some cars with my B.F.F. Ev   This is the life for a Two Year Old!

          And then we have her Majesty Princess Oakley's Birthday Party!     

           

We played a little pin the kiss on Sleeping Beauty and then Prince Tracy slayed the dragon (with a little help from King Troy) and saved all the fair maidens.

I can't believe my little ones are getting so big!  I love them and am so grateful that we were blessed with such wonderful kids.

Scarecrow Festival

I love Fall and Halloween!!  There is always something fun going on.  We went with some friends to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point.

 There were a lot of rides and games for the kids.  Of course Deacons favorite was the "Brrrm Brrrms".....

....and of course this is what happened when the ride was over.

We also got to meet Shawn Bradley, look how huge this guy is!! Anyway Troy thought it was pretty cool.  If you have never been to the Scarecrow Festival you really should go, it is great fun!!

First Day of Preschool

Oakley started Preschool last Tues. and was very excited. It is her 3rd year of preschool so we decided to change things up a bit and put her in a new school (Learning Dynamics) and it seems to be going well. Her teachers name is Miss Steiner and Oakley got the pink cubby in the classroom so she was thrilled. Here are some of those cute first day of school pictures.

I Love It!

Don't you just love it when your looking through the pictures on your camera and all of the sudden you come across this....

besides the fact that it means Oakley was using the camera without permission. Hmmm maybe it's not a mystery that our camera suddenly broke.
