Dakoda is going to be a BIG brother!!

YUP!! You read it right Dakoda is going to be a big brother. Baby #4 is due this June. We are so excited, after a miscarriage almost three years ago and two years of trying to get pregnant, we gave up and thought that we were done with the 3, but I guess not. I guess someone else had different plans for us:)

Merry Christmas!!!

We all had a wonderful christmas, the kids got a ton of stuff.
Santa brought M'Tali ski lessons for sundance.
He brought Dallin a Nintendo DS and a few games
And Koda got a new bike and helmet.
We got them clothes cuz that is what they needed, Dallin goes through pants so fast I swear I buy them everyother month

M'Tali is growing so fast that none of her pants fit her anymore, so we got her a few pairs.

Koda loves his new BIG boy bike, he learned to ride without training wheels this last summer and has been riding M'Tali and Dallins bike so he was excited when santa got him a bike....and not just any bike a Tony Hawk bike.!!!

We are so tired!!

Oh ya and did I mention that we had to go wake them up at nine in the morning, I can't believe they slept in till then...It was so nice

Making Gingerbread houses

Every year we make gingerbread houses with Josh's family it is a ton of fun and the kids absolutely love it. It has turned into such a fun tradition!!
Dallin's Gingerbread house

M'Tali had a ton of fun decorating her gingerbread house

Koda wanted so much candy on his its hard to see the house!!

Happy Birthday M'Tali

Yesterday was M'Tali's 10th birthday, I can't believe that she is 10, she makes me feel so old, she has grown into such a beautiful young lady and makes me so proud. M'Tali I want you to know how proud I am to be your mom, you are such a wonderful example to all of us, we love you so much.
M'Tali loves the Utah Jazz, I think she is the biggest fan ever, so of course that is what she wanted on her cake.

UTAH JAZZ!!! Dad went and ordered her cake for her and told her that he got her a princess cake so she was really surprised when it was the JAZZ!!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday M'Tali I had alot of fun going to lunch with you and then spending the day shopping... just us girls...I love you so much!!

Kodas 5th Birthday!!

Today was Kodas 5th birthday. We went to the cabin over the weekend, and then came home and had a party with some of my family..Thanks Uncle Tanner, Aunt Becky, Zack, Levi, Grandma, and Papa for coming to my party it was really fun!!! He really loves hotwheels!! I can't believe he's five...what a cutie!! While we were cutting the cake Aunt Becky told you to smell the cake to see if it smelled like an orange, while you were smelling it she pushed your face in it...you thought it was so funny!!

The Deer Hunt!!

So I really really hate putting pictures of me on here but I figured that I would post this one of the deer I shot this year. It is a 4 by 3 and is 17 1/2 inches wide. I shot it from 232 yards away with ONE shot!! At first I wasn't sure if I hit it, I saw it jump when I shot but I wasn't sure if I just scared it or if I really did hit it, so we waited for a few minutes and hiked over to where I shot it, and we didn't see and blood so I figured I had missed it, but Josh insisted that we follow where we thought he ran, and about 40 yards over the ridge Josh happened to see some blood on a leaf so we followed the trail, even though it was very little blood, we decided to sit and wait for awhile to see if it would just lay down somewhere and die, instead of tracking it all over the mountain, so we sat for about fourty minutes, decide to get up and see if we could find it, and sure enough it was only about 15 feet from where we sat and waited for 40 minutes, we just couldn't see it from where we were sitting!!! I was really excited that I shot it with one bullet!!

HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!

Today was Josh's Birthday...We had a really good day, the kids and I got up early and started making breakfast for Josh..but he got up before we were able to give it to him in bed...OH well it was still fun we made french toast with strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream, which is Josh's favorite breakfast, then we listened to conference with the kids and played a bingo game with them...during that time I finished painting M'Tali's room...I have a few things to touch up but it turned out really cute...I'll post pictures when i get it all done...then we went to his sister house for dinner...thanks Brooke for having us...we had a wonderful time. Josh doesn't know this but I also got him his favorite cheese cake...which we will have to have tomorrow cuz we are so stuffed....Josh, I just want you to know how much I love and appreciate you...I hope you had a wonderful birthday and that all you wishes come true..I love you tonz sweetheart!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Weekend At The Cabin!

I love the colors of the trees in the background, we went for a four wheeler ride and stopped to look at the mountain side and got some pictures of the kids. The mountains are absolutely beautiful this time of year if you haven't been up there I highly recommend that you take a drive up there it will be well worth your time.
Isn't this amazing??
