Olivia's 1st Birthday.

We had a double birthday party with my nephew Triston, his birthday is on the 7th and Olivia's is the 6th. We had it at Mcdonald's, Oh was that a treat. She was not as messy as I thought she would be with her cake. She would dip a finger in and then suck the icing off. Then she decided she would just stick her tongue in, and not get as messy. Everyine was trying to put her fingers in it for her but she was not having it. I love you Olivia, Thank you for being a great blessing in our lives.

Lots of posts and photos. Be prepared!!!

I finally had a moment to catch up on photos. I still need to post Olivia's birthdays, but I think I have done enough for today.

Christmas Day!!!

We started Christmas day off at our house we let the girls and Mommy sleep in. Daddy is still a little kid at heart at could not wait for the girls to wake up. After we opened our gifts and gifts from Santa we headed off to Grandma Debi's and Papa Cliff's to open gifts there and have breakfast. Then we went to great grandma Colby's for lunch. Then we headed to see Chris's dad Papa Jim to of course open more presents. And last but not least off to my Mom's for dinner and lots more presents. Although everyone said they would not spend as much it definitely does not show with the huge haul the girls made off with. Thanks everyone for spoiling them again.













Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my Dad and Deb at my sister and brother-in-laws house. My Dad and Deb are here from Saudi and with everything my dad had and has been through we were not sure if we were going to be able to see them this year. So we were all so excited to see them. My dad is doing better although he lost 60 lbs in 4 weeks and not able to eat anything but broth and Jello, everything is looking up for him. Thanks for a great Christmas Dad and Deb. Love ya!!!






Christmas Village

We went with Madalyn's friend Camdyn (from dance) and her little sister Annastyn
to see Christmas village and lights in Ogden for Camdyn's birthday. She started the night off happy but by the end of it both of the girls were done. Well Olivia was done the minute we put on the hat and the gloves and strapped her in the stroller. So from the beginning . Madalyn's said her hands were "freezing off" . Poor thing. After the lights we went back to Camdyn's house for cake , ice cream and hot chocolate.







Christmas Box Angel Ceremony

Here are just a few pictures of us waiting for the Ceremony to start. It was a very COLD night and we got there an hour early cause I thought it started at 6. I was so afraid of being late and missing the whole thing. Nope we were there in plenty of time. Ha Ha. Oh well!! Although it was cold and I had a 1 year old that was not happy to be there it was a great night. We celebrated Olivia's birthday earlier that day and got to spend sometime remembering Chloe.

Bunco!!!

My friend Andrea wants to start a Bunco group, so I told her I would post about it. So if you are interested in playing let me know. Don't worry I didn't know how to play or even what is was and I'm gonna try it. It sounds fun. Who doesn't want a night out with girlfriends and no kids.

Happy Birthday Olivia!!!

I know I know it's a few days late but my baby turned 1 on Saturday. It was quite a hectic and long day but we tried to make the most of it. I will post pictures soon. We started the morning off going to see Santa and having pancakes, next we ran some last minute errands to get the cake and then headed to Mcdonald's for the party(we had a double party with my nephew Triston, his birthday was Sunday.) It was nice not to have to clean my house before or clean up my house after. It was a bit crazy with all the kids and everyone else and there dog enjoying the playland on a Saturday. Next we headed home for a short nap and the we were off again to salt lake for the annual Christmas box angel ceremony put on by Richard Paul Evans. We have gone to this ever since we lost our Chloe in 2006. We were not however able to attend last year for I was giving birth. It was hard to miss something for Chloe but I think we got a good trade. So I made sure we did not miss this year. Then we got something to eat and headed home.

Finally getting the word out....

Well we are finally ready to post about a new baby on the way. Yes that's right we are expecting baby number 4. It has been a HUGE shock to find out about this pregnancy, we had no idea nor were we trying. So we consider this a blessing. We have had a rocky start with this one, but it looks like things as of right now are good. We are due the 3rd of June. I'm a little nervous about having an 18 month old and a new baby, but we have been through alot and If I can bury a daughter I can do anything. Chris and I wanted to wait until my 12 week appointment to make sure things were ok before we told everyone.

Spoke to soon...

My dad got admitted back into the hospital. He can not keep anything down, so they decided to do x-ray's to see if there is a blockage or a kink. Good or bad they found nothing, so all we can do is pray that he recovers. Love you dad.

He's home!!!

Yeah!!! My dad came home from the hospital yesterday. He improved drastically so they allowed him to check out. Now he just needs to rest so he can feel better to make the 30+ hour flight to come home for Christmas. Love you dad.
