Home For The Holiday's

Snow is falling, Christmas music is playing and school is out for the holiday!


We got to spend Christmas with my family again this year! I was so excited to get the semester over with and head to Driggs for 2 weeks.  
Up until Christmas eve me and my mom baked some yummy Christmas treats.  Of course most of them went to neighbors and friends.  And this year instead of decorating a ginger bread house we made some cookies and decorated those.  It was still a lot of fun and you can eat the cookies when you are done.  Unlike ginger bread houses. Then once that was done we also made some hot cocoa and sat by the fire to what the Christmas message given by the first presidency of the church that was on that night.



Here was my favorite talk of the Christmas Devotional


Well Christmas Eve has finally arrived and like every year we all head to grandma's house for dinner, gifts and my favorite part reading in the Bible about Jesus in Luke. After the story has been read we all sing Christmas songs and some of the kids will even do solos.  It's fun to watch because a lot of them act really shy while singing.

After spending time with family we headed back home to open one present which is always pajama's and we love opening them every year.  We all get so excited to see what kind of pajama's we got this year.  It was funny because my mom played a trick on Michael and Justin when they both opened up there they did not like what they saw haha. Just keep in mind that Michael is a die hard Blazer fan and Justin is a die hard Heat fan. Here is the video I got of them opening there pajamas.

Here is what the girls pajamas looked like.  I actually got to pick them out with my mom hehe.  They are so soft and cute! Alesha got mad though, she was mortified that she did not get footy pajamas.  The funny thing about it is that she never told my mom that she wanted them, so Alesha didn't quit get what she wanted for pajamas this year, but I think later on she decided she liked them.


Know here are some pictures with all of us and Michael and Justin wearing the wrong shirts haha



There we go! Thats the way they like it haha


Well it is Christmas day and what a wonderful morning it is.  I think everyone got out of bed at 7:30  which is a lot better then years past! Here are some more pictures of our Christmas Morning.


I got Michael some parts for his Ford Mustang!

Michael fixed the star that Alesha accidentally broke and surprised me with it in a frame!



Uh Oh mom got a gun!!

In the spirit of Christmas I just want everyone to know how grateful I am for my wonderful family I have and all the wonderful memories and traditions we all share! I would be so lonely with out my awesome family and the comfort they bring me in my life and excepting me for who I am.  

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN IS DUE MAY 9, 2015

Yup you read that right we are having a baby, May 9, 2015!! I surprised Michael by sending him a picture of my pregnancy test. So when he woke up that was the first thing he saw. I did the same with my mom because I needed her guidance on what I needed to do. It was defiantly killing her to not be able to tell anyone the news, but I definitely appreciate all the advice I have gotten as well as another person to talk to about it. We were so excited when we found out, we just wanted to tell everyone right away, but we waited and learned patience. I would have been so heart broken to have to tell everyone if we had a miscarriage. When we found out I was pregnant, I was 5 weeks along, so for my first appointment they had to take a blood test.  For those of you who know me, know that I do not do well  with needles and veins in the same sentence. As you can imagine I did not do well.   I kept moving an...

THINGS I LOVE

I feel it is so important to fall in love with as many things as we can, but to also fall in love with as many people as we can. As I have gotten older I have started to love things I did not care about when I was younger. I have grown to appreciate what my Heavenly Father has given to me on this Earth. and I have learned that when you love, you serve others. Which is the pure love of Christ...  and that is what will bring true happiness into your world. I am going to make a list throughout my life of things that I have fallen in love with. I want to be remembered as someone who loved everything and everyone. I want my kids to be able to know what I loved and that serving and loving everything is one of the  greatest gifts we have to become truly happy in this world. .......... Things I Love: -My Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ -The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints  -Michael Nelson, the greatest husband EV...
