FUNNIES

It is time I posted a few fun stories about the girls.
The most recent would be when we got back from Cancun. It was time for bed, but Autumn refused to go to sleep unless I slept in her bed, thank goodness it is a double. So, I fell asleep with her Jon in our bed and Makenna in hers. Makenna woke half way through the night and moved in bed with Jon, after a few hours of restlessness he replaced her in her own bed. Upon doing that Autumn woke up and went downstairs to sleep with her daddy. Makenna then woke up and came into Autumn's room to sleep with me. Needless to say it was Musical Beds. Did any of us get any sleep that night???

Secondly, we have been having lots of guests over for dinner lately, if you haven't have a dinner invite just come over we are probably having a party :) One night we were getting dinner ready and makenna was setting the table. I gave her four plates and she said, "Mom when are our friends coming over?" I proceeded to explain that it was just going to be our family which in response she exclaimed, "Mom, we need to invite someone, call Troy and Emily and Sophie." Silly girl life always has to be a party.

Thirdly, Makenna has been really into playing mommie, she has a dolly and carries it around the house. I asked her one day what her dolls name was. I explained that I had given her a name when she was born and we gave Autumn her name when she was born and that she should give her baby doll a name. She thought and a few moments later came up to me and said, "Mom my dolls name is Toast!" Which I said, "You are very beautiful Toast!"

Isn't life wonderful especially when you can smile. I sure love my girls :) Wishing you Funnies for your Future.

January

I have been so busy this month it has almost been crazy and I still have more to go!!! First we had Christmas and then right after Christmas we drove to San Diego to spend time with family, see our niece Lydia be baptized, and celebrate our nephew Brennan and Autumn's birthday. It was a wonderful trip Makenna discovered a new favorite, going to the bathroom on the side of the road. She had to of done it at least 3 times. However, it was so good to see the family and meet my new soon to be sister-in-law Marlene. After a week down in the sun we came back for a few days and celebrated Atty's birthday again. She was so adorable. Even blowing out the candle's on her cakes. then took off on a vacation to Cancun. It was a blast. We have so many friends who work with APX and almost all of them were down there celebrating. We soaked in some sun, went cliff jumping, tubing and boogie boarding.
Then the minute we got home I started getting ready for a bridal shower for my sister that I was hosting the next day. We had a "Mamma Mia" theme with multiple performances lights and pinacolodas. Guess I can't get enough of the beach theme :) So now that I all I have to look forward to is a wedding and then more visitors and Valentines. Wow, life has been non stop! We are so truly blessed to have had so much help the past few weeks and so much fun with family. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

A Tribute to Autumn

Autumn has her birthday on the 5th so I decided to post a few of my favorite pictures of her that describe her so well. She is a wonderful blessing in our lives and brings us much laughs and humor as well as heartburn :) She is soooooo mischievous and makes you laugh when you want to scream. She has brought us so much joy that I don't know how we lived without her in our family. We love you Autumn and wish you the happiest of birthdays.

Wonderful Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. It is so much fun watching our kids and there bright enthusiastic faces. Makenna new she was getting Make-up from Santa. Of course she did and it got everywhere Christmas morning, but it was adorable. We also had a wonderful time enjoying the snow. The girls are having a lot more fun with it now that they have warm clothes to wear. It has been a wonderful year and we have been very blessed. We are grateful to remember our Lord and Saviors birth. Merry Christmas to All!

If all of the Snowflakes were candy bars and Milkshakes Ohh what a world this would be.

Christmas Party, and party, and party and party

I love the Holidays and all that comes with it. We have already gone to a few Christmas Parties which were so fun. I love seeing people I haven't seen in a while and catching up. At the Egelund Christmas party Jon and I did the White Elephant Right Left game. Well, mostly Jon organized because at that moment Autumn was having a melt down, but it turned out really well. I also had the opportunity of going to a Party with Friends here in Morgan. I hadn't seen some of them in Years, since H.S. WOW!!! It was cool. Lot's of fun. I haven't taken many pictures. Sorry so it is just a long post about Christmas. I have made chocolates with my mom already which is a season tradition; and then to top it all off I got to go with Whit to get her bridals taken and then we watched "Momma Mia" the sing a long version at Kaysville Theater. It was quite awesome. I have enjoyed spending time with her so much. I am so excited about the snow. I want to bundle up and go play in it. We wish you all a wonderful Dec. and hopefully I'll get a few fun pictures on here soon.
