Trip to St George for Mom's Last Chemo!!!

Brackon and I headed down to St. George without the kids for mom's last chemo treatment! It was so great to spend time with everyone and especially mom and dad! Mom just looks amazing and has come out of her chemo with flying colors!

Look at that sassy lady!!!!

Coby and Kacie were there too!

Mom started her radiation at the beginning of Feb and is doing well. We are so grateful for what an amazing, strong woman mom is. We love you so much mom!

Cute mom and son pic!

Christmas 2008

Okay, we are so lame and hardly took any pictures of Christmas...only 4 to be exact. Kennedy is going to kill me for putting this on here, but this is our little family journal and I wanted to have a pic of her on Christmas! She looks darling to me!

Most pictures we get of Berkley have her squinting. She knows the flash is coming and our camera has a CRAZY flash that blinks a million times before the picture takes and sucks the batteries dry after 10 pics...well not really, but almost!

Emree's all smiles. All she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth!

Our little schmoopie Morgan is excited to open her presents!

Well that's all folks and because it's taken me sooo long to post this I can't even remember what we did Christmas Day. Isn't that awful?! I do know that we had loads of fun.

Emree the Squirrel

Emree's Class had a little Christmas party and they wrote a play without much help from their teacher Mrs. McTeer. Emree was a little grey squirrel and so hilarious.

The kids sang songs and built a paper snowman and had a lot of fun

Emree was gather nuts for the winter.

When she came back to her tree it had been cut down and she passed out. It was so funny! The funniest part was listening to her tell me what she had to say and do a few days before the play. She kept laughing and was so excited. She had the fluffiest grey tall and we forgot to get a picture of it, but you can see it to the left of her in this next picture.

Hooray for Emree!!! She was the best little squirrel ever!!!

Lights at Temple Square

This year we headed to Temple Square in Salt Lake with John and Mindy and the kids to check out the lights! It was FREEZING!!!! We were all bundled up and spent most of the time inside the visitors center and Joseph Smith Memorial building drinking hot chocolate. Yummy!

Daddy and Berkley

This year there we hardly any lights. It was kind of a bummer to drive all that way and have so few lights. A few weeks later we found out that it's because the lights are damaging the trees...poor trees!

Morgan and Emree all smiles...nice and toasty inside!

We were waiting for the dad's to park the cars so we snapped a quick shot of Aunt Mindy with all the kids. What a sassy group of ladies and, of course, a handsome gent mixed in there!

It was a fun evening enjoyed by all...especially the hot chocolate...yup, the hot chocolate was our favorite part!

In Desperate Need of an Update!!!

I am completely aware of the fact that I need to update our blog! So much updating...so little time! We've had a million things happen that we need to add to our family journal. We haven't even added Christmas yet! I will get to it...I promise...I just can't promise when! I know, I know...some of you are saying, "If you would just update when things happen it wouldn't be so overwhelming!" This i am aware of and I need to give it a whirl. However, truth be told, I will probably always 'cram' post. It's just the way I am. My next post will be a doozie so watch for it!
