Our Very Own... Taylor Swift

Here is Katie who is majorly obsessed with Taylor Swift and her new song called Hey Stephen. We listen to it at least two times every time we get in the car. The other night when we were making gingerbread houses at Grandmas we put it on and caught the girl in the moment. It is a pretty crude video(made by Sarah Digital Camera), It cuts off her head a couple of times but who who doesn't enjoy a homemade video once in awhile. We love our little singer and dancer!
(Sarahs disclaimer, It wasn't my video skills it was the program on the computer). Myabe next time I post a video I will actually figure out how to post the video and not just the link.

Bradleys Baptism

Bradley got baptized today! I am so proud of him and his decision. He decided to have Brent do the Baptism and Grandpa confirm him. The best part was that Sarah flew in to suprise him, she couldn't miss the big day. We had so much support from family and loved and appreciated your support for Bradley.

Giving Thanks

With Thanksgiving getting close I cant help but think of all the blessings in my life and If I didn't say I was Thankful I would feel really ungrateful. I am just going to list a few of the blessings in my life right now. I am so grateful to have a husband who is selfless enough to go back to work for someone even though I know that is the last thing he wanted to do but he knew it would benefit our family. I am so thankful for two wonderfully happy and most of all healthy children in my life. We love to have fun together and not a day goes by that I dont get a hug or a kiss. Our little secret is cleaning day. Every saturday morning we get up turn the radio up loud then have a dance( well cleaning) party. There are some saturdays that they are waking me up so we can turn on the music and clean. Who could ask for anything more? I am also thankful that I have a job that I enjoy not just enjoy but LOVE, I hate to hear how everyone complains about what they do mostly because I am so lucky that I get to do what I enjoy. Last but not least I am thankful for two of the most wonderful parents in the world, And I truly mean that. They are so supportive and willing to help out in any way that they can. I am so glad that my children have grandparents close that love to spend time with them. I can honestly say that sometimes I think that my kids would rather be with them than me. They are so lucky to have such great role models in their lifes.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving wherever you are!

My little Utah Fans

Ever since Brent got Bradley a Uof U shirt for Christmas last year Bradley has become a fan. He has loved watching all the hype on the news about the game today and even reminded me that at 4:00 today we need to turn on the tv. This morning I found this on my wall.




Katie thought it looked fun and then made a sign of her own. I have to say for 4 years old she did a pretty good job!

Date Night

We actually had a date night last night, Thanks to several people. Abbie babysat so we could enjoy a night out with my family without kids. We went with my mom and dad, Brent and Cindy and Kellie to Body Worlds.(Kane had a meeting) It was so very fascinating to actually see the human body with everything attached in several different poses so you could see how everything works together. You just cant get those kind of views in a cadaver lab. It was amazing to see all the different organs and read interesting facts about each one. I dont know why but the most interesting part to me was when they would show the vessels and arteries all by themselves on a skull or hand. It is such an intricate pattern and amazing to see that all that is actually in there. Then we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and converstion at California Pizza Kitchen. It was so nice to not have the kids for once and to get to enjoy dinner and actually the conversation without your kids climbing all over you. We had a fabulous night so Thanks Abbie and Mom and Dad for the invitation!

I am so excited!

Yesterday morning Bradley came and got me out of bed and wanted to know if they do this every year. I had no idea what he was talking about, He said give us a new garbage can. I was so confused so I went outside to look. This is what I found.


This is our new recycleables garbage can. I am so excited to be able to recycle right at my own house. We have been recycling at work for a while now and when I found out that Bountiful city was going to start a recycling program I couldn't wait. I thought that we wouldnt get it until January so it was a bit of a suprise to find it outside already. Pick up only comes every other week and I am sure with all the paper we go through at this house that it will be overflowing. I am also excited to get to teach Bradley and Katie what can be reused and what cant. Now I can feel as if I am doing my little part to help mother nature.
