I heart Instagram

Instagram has changed my life...I love how easy it is to document, but some people are missing my blogging.  So these are for you!  

Sorry for the repeats to my insta friends.

Diva Dash

Some of the girls in my ward had a very fun weekend in San Diego.  We ran the Diva Dash put on my Shape magazine, which was fun...although it rained the whole morning.  We did some major shopping at Ikea since we don't have one here, and then did some strategic packing to get it all into Lillie's car.  But my favorite part of the weekend was just chatting and being with these fun ladies, and not having kids interrupt our conversations.  

Homec Family weekend

We had Colby, Sarah and Owen to visit in January for a long weekend.
Then Charles and Lee Ann came too.
We had so much fun letting the kids play, shopping, talking til late at night, and eating lots of yummy food.
We sure miss them!

the rest of Christmas

My favorite night of Christmas is always our family dinner at Aunt Carolyns. It always used to take place on Christmas Eve, but now we do it on the 23rd so it feels like we have two nights of Christmas Eve...I love it!
We opened poppers, and my Dad and Tyson both found 100$ bills in theirs. We ate a yummy dinner. Played Christmas Family Fued while the kids decorated gingerbread houses with Carolyn. Listened to the Polar Express and the Scriptures. Had the Men's tie exchange. And, opened presents.

Actual Christmas Eve we spend as an immediate and we always go to BJ's for dinner.
Then we all came home and opened pajamas and had a little program about Christ.

Christmas morning was wonderful for our kids. Mags favorite present was probably her baby and her walking meow-meow, as she calls it. Sawyer loved his DS from Nana and Papa. Nothing else seemed to really mater to him.



here are some of the pictures that I captured with my I phone.
It was a very fun and successful week!
