My Favorite Night of the Year!

If you know me at all you know that something pretty serious has to happen for me to miss a light parade. Man, it's my favorite night of the whole year. Hot cocoa, blankets, boots, gloves, Christmas...it's the best. After all the Show Low light parade in 2004 was the first time Justin told me he loved me, AWWW so cute I know! Here we are all these years later with our Jett man. Jett loved it, when it started he sat on Dad's lap and didn't move until it was over. I could not get his attention for a picture. He was NOT going to take his eyes off all the lights. We met our friends Cameron and Marquette there. We always have a good time with them. It was a fun fun night.

Thanksgiving!

Man, November was a bad month for pictures. It was busy, we were deep into the semester. We made a quick trip to Show Low for Thanksgiving and these were all the pictures I got. Bummer. But trust me, the holiday was good. We had fun times in Show Low. We rushed back to Silver with Eben in tote and spent time with the Josh and family before they went back home. Good times!!

Happy Halloween!

We had fun with Jett this year for Halloween. I am a boring mom, I don't care for store bought costumes. I like the homemade creative ones, that's what I had growing up. I just like them alot more! So we made Jett a mummy costume. It was easy but I procrastinated and he was just a top half mummy. But still he was the cutest mummy his mommy had ever seen! We aren't real big pumpkin carvers so we just got one Jett size pumpkin and did that for Halloween for family home evening. Jett did NOT like the goo and the seeds. He would NOT touch it. We all got a good laugh out of it, even Jett did. At first Jett didn't care much for his finished pumpkin but later that night he asked to be put up on the chair and he just sat there forever and stared at it. It was pretty cute. Halloween night we went to the ward trunk or treat. Jett didn't get to much candy but he sure had fun!

The way to his heart...is through spaghetti!

My boys...

We were headed off to church this week and these two looked way to studly not to take a picture. I love them with my whole heart. They both make me so happy. I really like where we are in life right now. Being in school and busy with callings and the stress of it all can get overwhelming. But I know for a fact this is where Heavenly Father wants us to be right now. That little fact brings me so much peace. It makes it easier and bearable and somehow we always have time together. We are just doing good, that's all there is to it. I feel like life is easy to enjoy right now. I LOVE these two!!

Just A Little Friday Night

Last minute Jett and I got a little steak meal, some salad, our grill and blankets and flashlights and went and picked up dad from work and we had a little evening in the woods. It was a little cold and we ended early. It was still fun to switch it up a little ever once in a while.

Labor Day

For Labor Day we went to Albuquerque and shopped and just had some good family time. Jett loves staying in a hotel He thinks it's pretty cool. He got a new pirate ship and loved it! We had a good time together and are thankful for those little times we get to spend together!

Fits? No way...Not us!

42.8 pounds down...ZERO to go!

This week at weight watchers I reached my goal weight. It was a long hard journey for me. Pregnancy was ROUGH on this ol' body. Everyone was so supportive and cheered for me! They rang a bell and everyone stood up and clapped. They sure know how to make you feel good about yourself. I really have enjoyed doing weight watchers. I have found a LOVE for cooking and how to do it in a more healthy way. I learned that I CAN...and discovered alot about myself as far as self control. I have found joy in running, which I never thought possible. But most of all I feel happy and energetic. That is worth it's "weight" in gold to me!

Sunday FUNday!

Having early church is so nice, but our little Go-er Jett sure does get ansty by the afternoon. So we have made it a habit after our nap to go enjoy nature a little. We take a drive and usually go for a little walk. Sometimes we even get rained on...
