What a busy month...

December was filled with parties left and right and also the Preschool Christmas Program.  We have enjoyed every minute of it even though we were exhausted at times.  Christmas Eve was spent with Boone's family this year.  We had a great time as always at his parents house.  The kids were beyond excited this year for Christmas.  The begging to get up routine started at 2:30 in the morning.  Finally at 6:00 we decided to give in to the begging and get up.
We have had a fun December and have enjoyed spending time with family.  We are so blessed!

Never Ending FUN!

What a fun-filled Thanksgiving we had.  The kids had a blast every single minute we were in Utah.  It was so fun to spend it with extended family.  We had Thanksgiving dinner at Little America and it was spectacular!  It was an enormous room filled with every kind of food you could imagine.  The kids liked picking out whatever they wanted.  They even made their own ice cream sundaes for dessert.  I've never seen so much food in my life.
The hotel we stayed at was by far the best for kids.  It had an indoor water park, a game room, and it's own theater.  Across the street was also a Family Fun Center with laser tag, a carousel, and roller-skating.  Who knew the adults in my family are such good skaters?  It was hilarious!  My sister Danette even made up a skating routine for everyone!
We had such a fun time and there was a lot of laughter!  We plan to do it again really soon.









We are counting down the days for Christmas at our house.  The kids are so excited for all of the fun.  We look forward to spending more time with family.  What a wonderful time to be together with family and friends, remember those loved ones that are gone, and remember our Savior Jesus Christ.  We are so blessed!

Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!



I am so thankful for these little people in my life.  They bring so much joy and laughter.  Also tears and headaches, but I wouldn't have it any other way. 

We are looking forward to the upcoming holiday fun with friends and family! Next up, a Thanksgiving getaway to Salt Lake City, Utah with the Hathaway side of the family.  
GOOD TIMES!

We love adoption!

We have been blessed with three beautiful children. Two of our children came to us through adoption.  We are forever grateful for the miracle of adoption in our lives.  We know that Madison & Makenzie are meant to be part of our family.  We thank Heavenly Father every day for this great blessing.  

With that said...we know several couples that are anxiously waiting for that miracle at this very moment.

Back to Pre-school!

 My two babies started pre-school.  Easton was a little bit shy, but he got over it quicker than I expected.  This was Makenzie's 2nd year so she felt so important that she could help Easton .  They both had a great time and they enjoy going together.  They are growing up so fast!

A few things.....

Madison started school today..... and I'm not sure who is happier. Her or these two:
Kenzie and Easton enjoyed playing with all of Madison's toys and not being bossed around by a 6 year old all day. They even got to go to I.F. with mom and grandma for a little bit.



Here is Maddy waiting for the bus. She was a little nervous and couldn't finish her cereal.

I have been blog lazy this summer and have missed blogging so many things, but I wanted to make sure I documented Kenzie's big day in August. "Little Bean" turned 4 this year.




She wanted a princess cake and she got one!
She is a silly 4 year old and we love her to pieces!

My dad's birthday...


Yesterday would have been my dad's 67th birthday. I spent the day with my mom and sisters. It has been a long three years and we sure do miss him. Today, I am visiting his grave.

I miss you dad, and so do my children. We often wonder where you are and what you are doing. We love you!
