Hard at Play!!






Hey played so hard he fell asleep under his crib. What do you think should i get him a bed?

Merry Christmas!

Merrry Christmas!! This christmas was great we had a nice relaxing day. It was really fun to see carter just tear into his gifts. But most of all it was nice to remember what we were truly celebrating the birth of christ. We went to the temple of couple of nights ago and enjoyed the main street decor. I really like the pond. I hope all had a great day.

What in the world....

The other day when it was snowing really really bad. Glenn and I looked out our window to see the snow storm. Well to our surprise we saw this guy cleaning out the hot tub. Yes you read it right. We couldnt believe it so we took a picture of it. You'll laugh when you see it. I mean seriously who in the right mind would do this in the middle of a snow strom. Ha ha

Christmas Cookies!!

The other day i signed up for christmas cookies for our ward party. While i was making them glenn and carter( thanks to glenn ) kept taking my dough, so i told carter when i was done he could have the beater. Here is what he looked like eating it. ha ha


Just in case you wanted to see what they looked like, here is the finished product.


My new favorite Scripture!!

Like i have mentioned we have had a tough year, so Glenn and i have made it a goal to finish the book of mormon together. We have done pretty well reading it every night with or without carter. But the other day i went back and looked up some of the scriptures that we had highlighted, I came accross this one and it just hit me really really hard. I guess it just fits in what is going on in our lives. But here it is 1 Nephi 7:20-21 And it came to pass that they were sorrowful, because of their wickedness, insomuch that they did bow down before me , and did plead with me that i would forgive them of the that they had done against me. And it came to pass that i did frankly forgive them all that they had done, and i did exhort them that they would pray unto the lord their god for forgiveness. And it came to pass that they did so. And after they had done praying unto the lord we did again travel on our journey towards the tent of our father.

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree!!

We went to our storage unit and noticed that our christmas stuff is at the bottom of our pile and wouldnt be able to get to it. We had Two choices either buy another fake tree or buy a real tree. Neither Glenn or I have ever had a real tree so we thought it would be kinda fun to buy a real tree. Everytime we are gone for a couple of hours and come home it is so nice to smell the tree. Love it :)
