 This Christmas my girls printed my 5th Volume Family Blog Book

and got me a new CANVAS for my mantle.

I LOVED my gifts from my two girls: Cambria and Cecilee!!!

Gingerbread House Tradition 2013

 Every Year I put together an evening for the whole family to get together and do Gingerbread Houses at my house.  This year we were excited to have every family in attendance.

 Family traditions are what makes the Holiday Season fun and exciting.

The Holiday season is all about FAMILY!!!

 

 

 

A Mom's Favorite

 There's nothing more delightful than to watch your children play
together and have fun!! It continues to melt my heart from when they were young to now that they are older. I love my children and enjoy seeing them LOVE each other.

Christmas Ornaments for 2013

Every year we do ornaments for the kids and we try to find something that has to do with something BIG that happened to them that year.

Well, this year~MY DAD happened and that was HUGE for our whole family!

So I found frame ornaments and pictures of each kid with grandpa.

They loved them!!!

8 Ft. Snowman

We had so much snow that Trevor and Sydnee were able to build a snowman.

Trevor is slightly an overachiever so OF COURSE, he had to have the tallest snowman EVER!!!

He and Sydnee worked long and hard and freezing cold but completed it.

It was funny because later on that evening an instagram post from one of Sydnee's

friends and Sydnee told them, "That looks like my snowman" and they said,

"OK it's your snowman, we just wanted to get a picture with it!!!"

It was sooo funny!!

STAKE DANCES

 Stake Dances are a big deal to 14 & 15 year olds.

This was at the Ivins Stake Dance.

I am in the Stake YW Presidency and we hosted this dance so

I got to see my nieces and nephew!!!!

Early Christmas Present from Cam & Jeff

 Cambria and Jeff gave Trevor & Dad tickets to the BYU game vs UTAH

as an early Birthday Gift!

Some Football Awards

 Trevor earned 1st Team ALL 3AA South Team REGION

This is the 2nd year in a row that he received this honor.

 He was also recognized for being a TOP PERFORMER during Football Season.

 Trevor was also nominated at the Spectrum's Athlete of the week.

They had 8 athletes and you had to vote for them.

We had my whole family helping vote. It got down to the wire because Cody Lebaron's

Hurricane group was catching up with us. It was so funny to listen to my

brothers texting in a group telling everyone, hurry we need everybody's help,

we are down by 100 votes. Trevor ended up having the most votes, but they

chose 4 athletes.

Trevor also got ALL STATE HONORABLE mention.

Trevor was also chosen as STUDENT OF THE MONTH form

the Chamber of Commerce.

Christmas decorating with the CRAZY FAMILY

 Cecilee and Trevor wrestling while decorating the tree.

You can see who got the best of who!!

 I went outside to see how the Christmas lights were coming along and asked them what they were doing, they said, "picking our noses and butts!"

They think they are sooo funny!
