Hiking Adventures

 We love hiking!  There are so many cool hikes around here. We spend almost every weekend hiking or exploring.  The boys love to hike.  Here are some pictures of some of our favorites.

Sledding

 We went sledding with Sheryl's family at the highschool and the kids loved it.  We sledded until our fingers and noses were frozen and then headed home to go out to eat!

Christmas

 It's the most wonderful time of the year!  We love Christmas at our house!  Not only because Santa comes to visit and spoil us, but even more so because we get to celebrate the birth of our Savior.  The kids had a great time filling up baby Jesus's manger and of course loved visiting Santa and then opening presents on Christmas day.  Michael loved his Green Machine, Bryce loved his Ninja costume, and Juliet loved her horse.  Christmas is so fun with kids...watching their excitement and feeling of their joy is contagious.  For New Years this year, we headed up to my parents house and celebrated Christmas with them.  We had a great time and I am so grateful for my family!

New Baby

 My ego is prego!  Yep....baby #4 is on it's way.  Due July 27th, 2015.  Jeremy and I decided that there was one more precious baby that needed to be in our family.  We found out the middle of November and Walle our Christmas Elf told the kids the middle of December.  He had a special poem about the new baby and a picture of the baby's first ultrasound.  The kids were so excited and were jumping all over the bed.  Bryce wants a boy and to name him lightening bolt and Michael and Juliet want a girl.  Juliet wants to name her Angel.  We told Jeremy's moms family on Christmas by skyping them while holding 5 baby dolls.  We told Jereremy's dads family and my family by taking a family picture with them while announcing that we were having a baby.  I have been sick and throwing up every day with the only foods that sound good being top ramen and cheese.  But it is all worth it and we are excited to meet this new little one!

More Fun

 I turned 34!  Yikes!  How did I get so old!  The kids had a good time picking out treats for me and I got my cycling cleats I wanted.  Michael and Bryce also were able to dress up as shepherds for our Christmas ward party.  We went on a fun hike right by our house...we seems to do a lot of hiking on the weekends.  And Bryce and Juliet love to dress up as superheros and fight bad guys.  It is the cutest thing.  They are such good friends and I love to watch their imaginative play! 

 

Thanksgiving

 I am so thankful for my family and extended family!  We were able to spend Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family this year.  We celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas during the week. We all were spoiled and ate a lot of good food! All the cousins have so much fun together and we had a wonderful time visiting family! 

Staheli Farms

We had a great time visiting Staheli farms with our friends, the Crafts.  The kids loved the corn maze, swinging ropes and slides, the bounce pad, picking out a pumpkin, and hay ride.
