Allison's Baby Shower

This past Saturday my sister-n-law Allison had her baby shower. It was great celebrating the arrival of my nephew. They are going to name him Michael Jr. I'm so excited for the family to be having a boy because he will be able to carry our family name. My brother Michael was the last one, and now we will have someone else. I hope Allison has a good delivery.

One of Allison's friend made her this awesome tower cake.

Our Trip

Sorry for my last blog, the computer wasn't working well. So the rest of our trip was really fun. The boys got to see snow. It actually snowed the day after Christmas. We took the boys to the mountains to play with snow. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

While on our trip I was able to visit my friend Guyla and her family.Here is a picture of the kids. which was hard to get because they wouldn't sit still.

I'm Back!!

Many of you know that for Christmas the family and I went to New Mexico. We drove out there. The boys were excellent.The watched movies the whole time.

The first week for us was kinda bad because both boys were sick. Ben and I took turns going out. Christmas was Great! The boys had so much fun and they got spoiled with gifts from mom and dad, also the grandparents. It was so exciting because Ethan kept asking when is Santa coming. Christmas morning I was finally able to say that he came. Ethan couldn't wait to get up and see what Santa brought for him.
******* I'm sorry but for some reason my computer is going to slow.. I will finish this post later****

Merry Christmas!

We would like to wish every one a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I hope every one enjoys this time with there Family and be safe.

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday December 14th Ben and I celebrated our Anniversary. Ben and I have been married now for 6 years. Since yesterday was Sunday we celebrated it on Saturday. We had the opportunity to go to the Temple and do sealing. We always do that around our Anniversary, Its a tradition we have. We then went to lunch and the movies that night. I just want to say how lucky I am to have found some one who loves me so much as Ben does. Hes a great husband and a provider. Not only is he good to me but hes a wonderful father. I love Ben so much and I'm so happy to be married to him. We have grown so much together and learned a lot from each other. I'm happy to know that were sealed to one another for All Time and Eternity.
Ben I LOVE YOU!!

St. Augustine

Friday we as a family went and Visited St. Augustine. We had such a wonderful time. Even the boys were well behaved. We started out by doing some shopping. If you haven't done any Christmas shopping yet , go there! They have great deals and are always cheap.


(They boys taking a break while we were shopping.)

After we went to old town. We stopped and had dinner at Pizza alley. They are known for the #1 pizza in St Augustine and men are they right. There pizza was Delicious.. Try going there. We then went and saw the Christmas Tree. They boys loved seeing all the lights and they had this one man band which was cool. We had such a fun time!

Clifford and Santa

Today at our mall they had it where the kids got to eat breakfast with Clifford the big Red dog and Santa. I thought that would be a fun thing for the kids to do. The kids really loved it. Ethan didn't want his picture taken with them but Erech did. Erech would give them High Five and hugs. He was so cute. On top of everything Chick-fil-A gave us all free Breakfast. Afterwords we let the kids ride the train and see the signing Bears. We had a great time this morning spending time together. Erech and I with Clifford.

Christmas Countdown

Ethan kept asking me "Is it Christmas yet?" So I decided to do a craft with them for FHE involving a Christmas count down. We colored this Santa. I got this idea from this site.

They also have other great ideas. So know Ethan knows How many days are left till Christmas.
