Christmas 2007!

We took the boys to the mall to see Santa. Brennon was a little hesitant to sit on Santa's lap, but once he sat on his lap he was really excited to tell him what he wanted for Christmas!

Devin was so excited about playing Santa, he requested that one of our family traditions be that we make cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve! The boys had a blast making a mess in the kitchen with Dad.

This Christmas we decided to stay home instead of going to our families house. We were a little nervous about how it would go, but we were pleasantly surprised and actually really enjoyed Christmas in our own house.

We decided to start some traditions this year with our boys. The first thing we did was act out the nativity for Family Night. Devin had trouble locating a doll in our house full of boy toys, so he we ended up using Buzz Lightyear for baby Jesus! The boys had a great time reinacting the Nativity, and the entire week following I had to wrap baby Jesus (Buzz Lightyear) over and over again in his blanket. Devin also used my perfume as a gift to give baby Jesus, so Brennon kept running off with my perfume and give it to Jesus (Buzz Lightyear), it drove me crazy but was really cute!

I requested that we begin the tradition of Cinnamin Rolls for Christmas breakfast, they were yummy and very easy (store bought giant cinnamin rolls).

All and all, our first Christmas in our own home, all by ourselves was really fun. We did miss our family though, and hope that in the future maybe they can come to our home for Christmas sometime.

Thanksgiving 2007!

My brother Bryce had his fareweel over Thanksgiving this year, it was so nice to have the entire family there to support him!

Brennon was so tired from a week of playing with cousins, grandparents, and aunts and uncles that by Thanksgiving day, he slept right through our Thanksgiving dinner. Poor Brennon, we did give him some food when he woke up.

We had a really nice Thanksgiving this year, Devin took off the whole week, so we got to spend a lot of time with our family.

Halloween 2007!

Superheroes was the theme for Halloween this year!

We went to Staheli Farms for family night, and the boys had so much fun! They searched the pumpkin patch for their pumpkins, sat on the tractor and many other fun activites.

We had so much fun trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood. The boys got tons of candy, (Devin was thrilled) and the best part was how warm it was. No coats needed and Devin wore shorts and a t-shirt.

We've Moved to Hurricane Utah!!

We now live in Hurricane, UT. For those of you that don't know Hurricane is just outside of St. George.

Devin is working as a mechanical engineer for a company called RAM. So, far he is really liking his job, which is good because we moved away from our family so that he could have this opportunity! I have the wonderful job of being a stay at home Mom.

Our two boys keep me very busy, and I love being able to spend so much time with them. Brennon is 3 1/2 and he just as fun as ever. He is quite the talker and will talk to anyone that will listen. Brennon is going to be a sunbeam next week, and he is so excited to be in primary. Keaton is 19 months old, and is so much fun unless he doesn't feel good. He has discovered cartoons this month and loves to watch with his brother. Brennon and Keaton love to play together and I of course love it when they entertain themselves for a while so that I can get some things done around the house!

Devin and I are enjoying the boys so much, every stage and each child brings something new to our little family. We truly are blessed!
