Christmas Day

Christmas Day was a crazy day. First we got up about 7 am to open presents at home. Then we were off to Trav's parents house to open presents and have breakfast with family and friends. After that we went to my moms for a little bit before going to Trav's grandparents for a party. Then we were back to my moms house to open presents with my sisters and brother. It gets pretty crazy but it works. We get to spend the day with everyone and I wouldn't have it any other way.Ky opening her piano with her Grammy
Austin (Trav's brother)... What a stud!

Christmas Morning

Christmas was so much fun this year with Kylee. She loved all of her presents and got so excited to open them. Everything she opened was her "favorite ever!"

We are always to fortunate on Christmas to get so much. I say every year that it is going to be a really small Christmas but we always end up with so much.

This picture makes me laugh. Kylee looks like she is trying to show us how buff she is! Her double chin is bigger than mine!

She got a helmet for the 4 wheeler

Christmas Eve





First we went to my parents house and opened some presents there. Kylee got a snow globe from my mom which she loves. She always wants to play with my moms and turn on the music.










After my moms we went out to Grantsville with Travis's family. Kylee got some playdough from her great-grandparents and Austin, Chad and Ali opened it so they could play.
Every year we have our own manger scene while we read the story of Christ's birth. Kylee was an angel this year. We switch off every year for Christmas Eve with my family and Trav's. The last time we were there Kylee was our baby Jesus.

Making Pretty!


I got out of the shower yesterday and this is what I found. How could I get mad! She was so proud of herself, she loves to "make pretty". (that is what she calls putting makeup on for some reason) My only concern is why is she trying to draw a mustache?

We were at Trav's parents house last night and Kylee wanted her picture taken by the reindeer. I thought I would post it cause i think it's a cute picture. She is so much fun and I am so grateful to have her in my life. It is so much more complete with her here and I can't wait to have our little baby boy and have that much more joy in my life.

Shooting guns!

On Saturday we went shooting with Marlin, Chad and Ali. It was a lot of fun just messing around shooting balloons and clay pigeons. In the past we have gone out alot more but this year it didn't happen as much so I am glad we went. Tonya didn't want to go out in the cold so Ky stayed with her and Austin had to work but when we all get to go together we have a blast.

Thanksgiving Day

Our holidays get pretty crazy running around from house to house. First we went to Travis's grandparents house for dinner. Then we went to my parents house for dessert. After that we went to Trav's parents for games. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the first two places but I did remember to take some while we were playing the game.
The kids had a lot of fun jumping off the bench into the pillows

Family

On Saturday night my sister Ashley surprised us by coming home for Thanksgiving. She has been in Massachusetts going to school. We didn't think that we were going to see her until May of next year so we were so excited. Sunday we were at my Moms house for an early Thanksgiving dinner so we decided to take a picture of all of us. It's not often that we are all together since she went away.

Boys will be boys!

Travis finally got to take his new toy out! We have had this 4 wheeler for about a month or so and the only place Trav drove it was around the circle. He went out saturday with my step-dad Brent and my step-brother Dallin to play in the mud. He came home such a mess but enjoyed every second of it.


Dallin helping Trav get the 4 wheeler out of the mud before it tipped over!

Brent took all of these pictures and sent them to my phone. I love this one of Travis!

Halloween Night

On Halloween we stopped by Travis's parents house and Trav took Kylee Trick or Treating around the circle. She loved it and was so happy to get some candy. Our ward does Trunk or Treat but it didn't work out for us to go to that but she at least got to do a little bit. After that we went to the Telfords house for dinner.
That is Kylee's cheese face. She will not smile for pictures...It drives me crazy
Put 'em up! This is Austin (Trav's brother)
My sister Katie. She dressed in her husbands care bear costume from when he was about 5 years old or something. It was a little small but it made the costume so much better!
Sorry ladies...He is taken! This is the extent of Travis dressing up.
Mckenzie's cute princess costume.
I had Cole and Kylee give eachother a hug for the picture and after in a quiet little voice Kylee says "I love you" it was cute
Jeremy and Autumn. Words cannot explain! Just joking guys...Thanks for having us over!
