Oh Christmas Tree!!!!

I got my Christmas tree up, and I think it is so pretty. Jeff let me get some new ornaments for it, and we made the tree more elegant this year. The Santa Claus, and the Elf are my two favorite things on the tree. We did manage to still include some of our favorite moose ornaments. It isn't Christmas without all our moose stuff. I love Christmas!

Fun in Elko

Bradlee and Kaylee were having a great time on the trampoline at Stacy's house in Elko. They begged Uncle Jared to jump on the tramp with them.... ( When I say begging they asked him, and he jumped up to go).

Kaylee likes Jared...... Can you tell?
Tamara and Jared.

Trip to Elko for Thanksgiving

We went to Elko to Visit Jeff's Family for Thanksgiving, and We were able to meet Van for the 1st time. He is such a cutie. He enjoyed spitting up on me... I think he spit up everytime I held him. Its ok, I am a sucker for babies so I forgave him.

Black Friday

Yes we are part of the stupid people who wake up.... or in our case dont sleep just so that we can find the deals at the stores the day after Thanksgiving. We Were even able to get wrist bands to get something free. It was fun! I am very tired now because I am on no sleep, and I have to be at work today. Not so fun part of Black Friday! If you cant tell, We are standing in line outside..... In FREEZING temperatures. I don't know what the real temperature is, but let me tell you, I was frozen by the time we got in the store an hour later.

Here Comes Santa Claus

Poor Thanksgiving, It gets skipped right over. The stores go from Halloween Right to Christmas. How sad for the turkeys. We went to the mall a few days ago and the kids were able to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. How Cute are they? :)

Jeff's Princess

Jeff is in love with my puppy. Cloee just got groomed for the first time, and she is adorable. Jeff was so worried she would be cold outside with her haircut that he had to go buy her a new coat. Can we say pathetic! :)

Meghan's Field Trip

Meghan had the opportunity to go to the commemoration cerimony for the new Utah quarter, she loved it. The Governor was there and everything. This is her holding her very own Utah quarter.

Here she is with some of her friends from school.

Look at all the people. Jeff was able to go with her, and he said it was a mad house there. He had to keep track of 10 kids from Meghan's class, and he said it was very difficult with all those people.

Time Flys when you're having fun!

I was just looking through some of my old pictures, and I found some of my favorites. I can't believe how little my kids used to be. Kaylee was just a baby yesterday, and now Meghan and Kaylee don't even want me to do their hair anymore. It is bittersweet. I love how independant they are becoming, but at the same time I want them to need me for everything. Oh well, I guess they can't stay babies forever, can they?
Meghan has always loved taking care of the other 2, and as you can see in this picture that started at a young age.

Kaylee was such a cute baby, and now she is growing up to be such a beautiful girl.

Meghan when she was tweetie bird for halloween. I think she was 3 in this picture.
As you can tell Bradlee was a newborn here. He was only 12 days old in this picture

This is a almost resent picture of Meghan, Bradlee, and Kaylee's 1st day of school this last year..... Like I said, Time flys when you're having fun.

The Baptism

Here are some pictures of Bradlee's baptism. He was so cute in his suit. He told Jeff that he was nervous, but he did great. My dad Fred gave a great talk, and Penny and Rick helped with Prayers. Thanks to everyone that came. It was a wonderful day. Yesterday at church Bradlee got to sit on the stand, and alot of people congratulated him. We are so proud of Bradlee for the choices he has made. We love you Dude!

Look at how handsome he is in his new suit!

Bradlee and his sisters.


Grandma and Grandpa Mcintosh came to be with Bradlee on his special day.

Rick and Shelly were also there with support for Dude!

Grandma and grandpa Hokama bought Bradlee his very own set of Scriptures.

Happy Halloween!!!!

My Dad loves halloween. He has claimed it as his day. All the kids head to Grandpa's for some good ole' fashioned Trick or Treating. Grandpa takes all the kids around to all his neighbors. He loves to show off ALL his wonderful Grandkids. He shows off his kids too!
Meghan was a baby this year.
Kaylee was Baby Lilo. (You know, Lilo and Stitch but babies)

As you can see it can get pretty hectic with all those kids. But we wouldn't trade it for anything. Grandpa loves Halloween, it wouldn't be the same any other way. Thanks for Halloween memories dad!
