Baby Blessing

So we had Carters baby blessing this past weekend and it went great. It is so special to have such a precious new baby in our house. The girls love him like crazy. They try to make him smile and hold their toys. Jocelyn tells him all about her gymnastics class and that he can come watch her when he can walk. It is just so darling. Kory couldn't be prouder to have a son. The way he acts with him just makes my heart happy. I am so greatful for my family and the love we have in our home for eachother. People keep asking us if our new house feels like home yet and I just tell them yes because home is where the heart is, and my heart is with my family! I am so excited for Christmas and going to California. It is going to be so much fun with grandma and grandpa and all of the cousins and aunts and uncles. Plus nothing gets better than being able to go to DISNEYLAND on CHRISTMAS DAY!! yay. I can't wait. So for no pics. but was just too busy having fun with all the extended family that I forgot to take some. Next time! Love to all for the holidays.

Baby Carter

Oh my gosh it has been forever since I have been on here. How sad!! I am sorry for the lack of updates. So far we have just had baby carter who arrived Oct.9. We love him to death and are so happy to have another boy in the family. We had a very fun Halloween. Jocelyn was Dorothy and maddie was Snow White. They got lots of candy which they still beg for till this day even though it is all gone! We are going up to Kory's sisters house in Smithfield, Ut for Thanksgiving. We are way excited to get away for a little bit. Love to all my friends and family. Miss everyone. Have a happy thanksgiving. kisses.

Girls Birthday Party

So we had so much fun last weekend with the family. My mom, dad and brother Chad came up for the girls birthday party. The theme this year was the little mermaid. We had bubble sticks, foam hats with stickers they could make, a pinata, and mermaid beach balls to play around with outside. It was so much fun. I am glad my best friend Ashley and her fiance could make it. Plus, Ron and Debbie who I haven't seen forever. They are pretty much my mom and dad too. Jocelyn got a bike from us this year. She had to ride it everywhere it is so cute. Maddison got a Radio Flyer tricycle. She doesn't get the whole peddling thing so she just walks with her tippy toes. Follows her big sister everywhere in it. This winter we will have to bring them in the basement so they can be pros next summer. Thanks to everyone who came. Much appreciated. We love all of you guys and your children.

5th Anniversary

Well, it was our 5th anniversary July 16th the day I drove home from California. So on saturday Kory took me out. We went to the Melting Pot up in Salt Lake City which was a neat experience. (overrated) but nice. Then we went and saw the new Harry Potter movie!! Loved it!!! It was so much fun just being out with the man and love and still love.

California Here We Came!!

So I went to California on July 8th and got back the night of the 16th. I went down there because my mom fell and shattered her elbow and broke her wrist. It was so sad cause she was supposed to come up and visit us and then go hike Mt. Whitney 2 times this summer and had all other plans that got cancelled. So to cheer her up I thought I would take the girls down to help lift her spirits and do whatever she needed me to do.

I took her to Dr.'s Appointments, and physical therapy, shopping and running errands cause she can't drive at all. I had so much fun. The girls did too. My parents have this waterfall and pond in the backyard that is like the perfect depth. So the girls lived in it. As you can tell by all of the pictures. Plus the pictures of my toes is cause me and my mom did a little girl time out and got a pedicure!! Thanks mom.



My dad by the water watching the kids. He's so handsome!

Love this picture of Maddie and her big eyes.

Maddison trying to hide that she just snuck a nutter butter cookie before swimming. haha

Summer Dresses

Yesterday I went to walmart and found these super cute dresses. Once in awhile they have a cute find. Glad I found them. The girls love them.

Hogle Zoo

We recently went to the hogle zoo at the beginning of the month and had a blast. It was perfect weather for it too!! The girls had so much fun. Maddie called everything a monkey and would make the noise. Then when the elephants made their sound she got really scared! Jocelyn knew every animal we saw. Her favorite was the giraffes. She got to see them eating from the trees and she thought that was pretty cool. If they thought that was fun, then I need to take them to the San Fernando Zoo or Sea World. I know they would love those cause they are like 4 times as big.

Me and Maddie waiting for the bird show to start.

The whole family looking oh so good.

Jocelyn by the pinguins. She had just seen happy feet so she was so excited.

Me and the girls watching the Black Bear.

Kory and Maddie with the Elephant. Aren't they all so cute!!

Picnic Up Santaquin Canyon

So last month we went with the Ken and Lyndsey VanSickle up Santaquin Canyon for a little picnic. It was so much fun. A little chilly but great. We had hotdogs, chips soda, watermelon, and so on. What fun you can have for an hour up a canyon. There was a beautiful stream going by that the girls loved to throw chips in!!

My hubby Kory. Looking oh so good.



Me and Lyndsey trying to stay warm.

I don't know what that face means, but I love it!!

California Trip

So this is a very delayed post but I finally had the time to sit at the computer and download some pictures. I went to California April 27th-May4th. I had a blast. We went down to see my old stake's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It was so good. They always put a ton of effort into them and they always turn out great. I am so proud that my parents always have a hand in it. They are so creative and thoughtful that people flock around them.

May 3rd. was my dad's birthday so that was also a plus when we went down. He turned 55 and he thinks he is an old timer but he looks a lot younger than that. So keep up the good work at looking young dad! It gives me hope that maybe I would look so old in a few more decades!

The girls loved hanging out with there Uncle Brent, Aunt Madelyn and cousins, Morgann and Hayden. We miss them like crazy and can't wait to see them again.

So here are a few pictures of our trip. Jocelyn loved the water fountain and pond in the backyard and maddie loved the birthday cake!!

Well, here are some pictures from Easter. We had so much fun. The girls found their easter baskets and then they went on an egg hunt. Grandpa Dale and Grandma Jan were there and we loved every minute of it! Thanks for the cute dresses mom!! The girls had a blast and I can't wait to do it again next year. With our little addition....Carter!
