It's a New Year!

We have quite a few things going on this month!

#1  We put the bug in dance class!!!  She's in the
"Princess Combo Class on friday mornings and they do tap, ballet and tumbling!!!

Isn't she cute? 

                               

                                                       

Once a month they have "dress as a princess" day.  She loves it.

#2  I chopped over a foot of my hair off!

#3 They opened the New Cubs Spring Training Center  and we went to the big party they threw in honor of it!!!  Kids had a great time.  So did Daddy being the baseball fanatic that he is!

#4    We got to go to the Gilbert Temple Open house with our kids and my Uncle Jon, Aunt Barb, Kim, Lucas, Hannah, Lucas, Ian and Lisa.  It was pretty amazing.  It's gorgeous and such a great opportunity to share something so important and sacred to our family with...well...OTHER family.  I'm greatful for temples and for the peace and light that I feel there.

#5  Then there were days that made my heart sing, watching my beautiful kids be kids :)

Anyone in the mood for a Super Hero/Princess Tea Party?

I just love them.

We spent Christmas in Mesa this year.  My two sisters (Jackie and Dani) Live here as well so my parents came to us!!  And was it so nice to have Christmas in our house this year!!!  Tyler and Ashley came the day after Christmas and Jerry's parents came Christmas day!!    Only problem is...EVERYONE (parents, grandkids, aunts uncles..EVERYONE) came down with the flu.  Kids were puking on Christmas eve and it made the rounds to everyone else just days after...including myself, which I thought was due to this:

Ha ha!!  I'm prego!!!  Due August 8th!  But it turns out the sickness really was a nasty nasty nasty case of the flu...I know this because it went away!!!.But we are thrilled to be expecting again!!!

...Here are a few pics in december leading up to the festivities!

November brings fun things too!!!  For instance.....

So much to be thankful for!!!

Kindergarten Field Trip to Vertuccio Farms_ 11/2013

I feel so so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom.  Though hard....I just feel so lucky to have the ability to be able to volunteer in my kids class....go on field trips etc.  This field trip in particular was a pretty fun one.  I was in charge of Cohen and Manny

 and as you can see we had some fun learning about how things grow on the farm....how to feed the animals, games/corn maze etc.

Sure do love this boy to the moon and back!
