Temple Square

First of all thank you to all of our friends and family who traveled to Salt lake for Hatchers 2nd birthday! It meant so much to have all of you there and was such a wonderful moment for our little family. Hatcher we love you and are so happy we had such a fun few days together. Although we had a few bumps along the way and bad luck with trains, it was so wonderful to be together and celebrate just how much you mean to all of us. Special thanks to Aunt Haley for taking all the pictures, we will treasure them!

Pirate Pool Party

Hatcher we had so much fun at your pirate pool party! We started the morning with a treasure hunt, we had treasure boxes to fill, masks to wear, swords and eye patches, pin the patch on the pirate, lots of goodies, played games in the game room and opened presents! Your favorite gift was your cowboy chaps witch you want to wear everyday. Thanks to all of our friends and family for making this party a great memory! We love you Hatcher!

Look who is 2

The Polar Express

Hatcher it was so fun to celebrate your birthday with a trip on the Polar Express! It was so magical and got us all in the Christmas spirit. We got on the train and began our journey to the North Pole. We sang carols (and happy birthday), the conductor punched our tickets, we had hot cocoa, meet Mrs. Clause who gave us her chocolate chip cookie recipe (Santa's favorite), visited with the elves, saw the north pole out the window, met Santa who gave all the kids a magical bell form his sleigh, read the story The Polar express, had a ho ho ho contest and enjoyed all those we love so much! It was a memory we will never forget.

Happy Birthday 2 Hatcher

I can't even believe my sweet little boy is now 2! Its hard to believe you have had so many struggles. Hatcher I can't even begin to tell you how you have made me a better person, more appreciative of all the simple joys in life. I cherish each day with you and I am so grateful that I get to stay home with you and play cowboy! You are so tough and I pray this upcoming year you will be strong as you continue on your journey. My heart aches for you, its hard to express just how much you mean to me and I can't imagine life without you. You are so sweet and I am so glad that your favorite thing to do right now is snuggle. Thanks for being you and bringing so much joy to our family.

Winter Dance Recital

I am so proud of our little dancer. There is one thing for sure, Jaxyn sure knows how to shake it! Her good friend Alex, who also rodeos and does gymnastics with Jax is such a sweet little friend. Thanks Alex for being so great, you girls are so talented!

Santa 2009

I am so far behind its hard to try to note all of the wonderful things we have done this Christmas season. Walmart had a Santa Saturday so we took the kids over. Hatcher was a little nervous of Santa but of course Jaxyn showed him the way. She is such a little mommy and is so sweet. After they sat on Santa's lap Jaxyn told me she knew that Santa was the guy that worked as a greeter at Walmart, yes that means we go there way too often, it was so funny.

Happy Birthday Randy

The kids and I had so much fun planning Randy's birthday. Jaxyn was really into it and helped me all day to get ready to surprise dad. We made one of his favorite dinners, German chocolate cake (with all the candles), streamers, posters, candle light, and Jaxyn and Hatcher put on their matching aprons, hats and were wonderful waiters! Then we spoiled Randy with a foot soak and rub, and lots of other fun treats! We love you Randy thanks for being a great dad and husband!

Happy Thanksgiving

It was so much fun to have Mom and Dad here for Thanksgiving! It was quiet with naps, good food and lots of relaxing. Thanks for making the trip and spoiling the kids.
