The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

What a wonderful time of the year it has been. Things have been so crazy this year especially but it wouldn't be Christmas without it. This year has been filled with lots of family, friends and tons of PaRtIeS!! Every year we have a "Grandma Joann's Christmas Night" party in remembrance of our crazy Grandma that always used to buy us DI Christmas presents. SO, Everyone has to bring a $5 D.I. present. This year, we decided to have an ugly sweater contest as well....check out this UGLY dressed group!




Now, that is H-O-T-T Hot!

Ok, So now I'll skip all the way to Christmas morning...I didn't take any still pictures of Christmas morning at our house since I was recording all morning, but needless to say, Linc got spoiled. Although, after opening one gift he didn't want to open any more. Hmmm... maybe I'll just get him one present next year. ;) So, after presents at our house, we go up to Searle's. Christmas Eve and Day are always planned out to the hour of where we are...good thing it only comes once a year. Linc got spoiled, yet again. He won't take off his Raiders helmet..ever. He wants to sleep in it. Ha. Ha.

What a happy boy!!

Now, on to my parents house....We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Dinner along with family and presents. We had a special treat having my brother home from boot camp. Linc missed his cousins and uncle so much. We are glad to have him home even though it's only for a short time.

Linc of, course got spoiled here too... he just can't wait to put up his trampoline Papa and Mimi got him...now we just need the snow to go away:)

Thanksgiving craziness!!

It has been a crazy few weeks at our house...fun but crazy. Two weeks ago I threw a surprise 50th birthday party for my mom....I didn't take one picture. I was too busy running around getting everthing ready. I was so disappointed...the party turned out great though. It was such a great party for such a wonderful Mother, Wife, Mimi and friend. We love you mom. Last week my sister had a sweet new baby girl, Paisley. She is adorable and looks just like her big sister. We are so excited to have a new baby girl in our family. She's so precious. Whenever someone in our family has a baby it's a huge occasion..everyone comes and it's such a fun day...here's some pics of the exciting day..

Thanksgiving day was awesome. Filled with lots of family and tons of food. Each holiday we spent time with each of our families...which leads to TONS and TONS of food. I didn't get as many pictures as I would like..(probably cause I was too busy eating!) but the ones I got are super cute of the boys..

The day after Thanksgiving we went to TRS with Luke's family. Shawn and Chels and Zo came down from Moscow for the week and it was so fun to see them and sweet Zoey. We miss you guys alreday!!

"BUZZING" Halloween fun!

This year Halloween was a little different for us. We were going to be gone over Halloween but I still wanted Linc to enjoy some of the fun..so I threw a little Halloween party with our closest friends. They had a ton of fun decorating cookies, playing Halloween BINGO and pin the nose on Frankenstien. Linc loves this little group of friends.








So, over Halloween we went up to Northern Idaho where Luke's sister Kylee was playing volleyball in the state tornament. We decided to be brave and take on the 8 hour drive with a 9 month old and an almost 3 year old. They were actually pretty good. We had such a fun trip and were lucky enough to meet up with Shawn, Chelsie and lil' Zoey. Linc had soo much fun with them. He misses them already. Heres some pics of the fun trip...

Yummy licorice!

Luke bought this football while we were at the mall...it was the best purchase we have ever made!! It was his constant companion all weekend!

Now for the scary part... of course with it being Halloween and all we had to dress up like Bee's (Bonneville's mascot). We wore this to the game and turned some heads!! We made some fun and crazy memories though...

.

Sexy "Stinger" Babe!! You are one hot bee!

They even threw a trunk or treat for the kids in the school...Linc loved all the candy he collected.

And as for the Bonneville Bees...they won!!

You rock Ky!!
