Christmas decor....

I posted awhile back saying I was going to do this alot sooner. Will sorry But here are my pictures of the decor, Sorry they arent the best! I don't have my nice camera yet ;) ha ha

As I stated Before I have the color's Pink, Turqouise, Silver, and Lime green in my house.
My mom and I have really gone back and fourth this year and it's kinda like Christmas decorating Competition but in a good way :) If you've ever seen the Grinch....My mom is like Martha-mae-hoo-v-ae and I'm the sweet ole Betty :) and as Betty says in the Movie "I'm gonna beat that prissy lil martha-mae-hoo-v-ae this year :) ha ha ah ah ( if your not laughing you haven't seen the movie)! :)

 Something new we started this year was "The Elf on the Shelf" If some of you don't know what this is it's an Elf that is sent from Santa On Thanksgiving. He comes to watch and Listen to the Kids everyday and at night he reports back to santa to tell him about your children :) So the next day he is in a different place when the kids wake up and Kylie really enjoy's it and loves to find him! He is in my Lovely pInk santa boots!

I love my Pink santa boots!

Christmas Spirit

Tis the season to be Jolly Fa la la la     la la la :)  ( Think thats how it goes ha ha)

I love Christmas Time, this month really helps me to reflect on the love for my Savior. I enjoy the lights that go up inside and outside the house. In our house it symbolizes the light of Christ. We are so grateful for  everything we have and most of all for the Savior.

I enjoy decorating for Christmas time and it's my say of what goes ha ha :) Our wonderful tree is filled with Pink, Lime Green, Blue, and silver. I have that bubbly fun personality and you really feel it when you walk in our house. :) My mom and I rub off on each other really bad... lol everyday there has been a new decoration added to the house. We go back and fourth and keep on adding.
Last night we had a Relief Society Progressive Dinner. We  went to three different ladies houses to see their decorations, eat and visit. Everyones house was beautiful and I love getting together with the sisters in the Branch. We have so much love for each other and we are a big family!!

I hope we all can enjoy this month and let's all reflect on our love for Christ this month!

Season's Greetings

We had a wonderful time on Thanksgiving day spending time with the ones we love! The food was great and we all got really full. :)

I love Thanksgiving but I love Christmas a little more. I get a jump start on my christmas decor :) I love the holiday feel, with the tree up and decorations set out and the wonderful lights my husband put on our place this year :) I will be posting pictures of our tree soon and the house lights.

I'm so happy to say that I finally have a family  picture of us all together for our christmas cards.
The kids were a little restless (more so Chandler) but we did get some good ones.

I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful start to this Holiday Season!

A Time to be Thankful

This is the month of Thanksgiving. At church today I pondered on things I am thankful for. I'm thankful for amazing parents that have taught me the Gospel. My parents have showed their love and support to me over the years. Thankful for their advice they have given to us, if we ever need advice my dad is always there for  us.

I'm thankful for the Gospel. I'm thankful for our Heavenly Father who has been an example for us and for his atonement. I'm thankful for his Love he has for each one of us.

I'm thankful for my children and their examples. Kylie being almost 3 she nevers lets us forget to pray, and if anyone is upset she will remind you not to be upset because Jesus Loves you. They have such a spirit about them and I love to be around that.

I'm thankful for my husband, for his Love he has for his children and me as his wife. He works so hard to support his family. My husband supports me in everything I do and never forgets to tell me he loves me, and I'm so thankful for that.

I'm thankful for Temples and for Eternal Happiness!

I'm thankful for my husband and that he was able to take me to the temple to be sealed for Time and all Eternity. There is nothing like kneeling over an altar with your eternal companion. It helped me relaize the importance of my eternal companion because without him it wouldn't be complete.
I'm thankful that we are sealed together as a family because when that time comes to report to our Heavenly Father in his Celestial Kingdom that we will all be there with no seats empty. We will be home together once again. I am so Thankful for that!

I hope that we all can reflect on the things we are Thankful for. May we all know how much our Heavenly Father loves us, and be thankful for all He has done.

Fun car ride and Yummy food

Kylie was given this lil cute mustang car from some family friends awhile ago. She just got to take it for a new spin. She really enjoyed it, Chandler rode to but didn't like the whip lash he was receiving ha ha ha :)

 Her mouth is a little blue from a blue ring pop her uncle jeremy bought her :) One thing Chandler loved was the cd player it plays music

She was so happy saying " Yay mama my car my car "

She was gettin upset at him pushing the music buttons! After all it's her car, ha ha ha

As some of you know Chandler LOVES his food! He is having his first lil graduate meal,
"Star pasta and green beans"

I love messy chubby cheeks

As I said he loves his food!

YUMMY

We love our kids and are so thankful for them! They mean alot to us and every moment counts. They just grow up WAY to fast!

Something New

So glad that I have sat down to start a blog for our family. We have family and friends miles away and this will be an easy way to read what's new and view pictures.

Eric and I went to the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity last month sep. 25! It was such an amazing expeirence, and we are truly proud of each other. Chandler was sealed to us and Kylie we will go back hopefully soon when the adoption is final.

Kylie is gettin so big she will be 3 in Decmeber. She keeps us going especially with her attitude :) We are enjoying all the moments though as she keeps growing. She is the smartest girl i know. She loves to get my ipod and play the games. Love the little stinker

Chandler is almost 9 months! WOW he is a chunk and is SOOO funny! He LOVES his food and when he see's it, he wants it then. He is wanting to crawl but is lazy. He will get on all fours and rock, but will not move. Although he will push himself back into sitting position :) He is the happiest baby and we love the lil monkey!
