A Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!! I hope everyone had a good holiday! It was alot of fun to visit family and just have a relaxing week. I'm so greatful that Brandon was able to miss work for that long and be able to relax for the most part with me. Thanks to my parents and brandon's parents for taking us in, feeding us and for the wonderful gifts that you don't need to buy for us. We love you all and are looking forward to the 2 weddings coming up!

PRESENTS!!

Christmas Eve trade-offs. Kayli got puzzles, Brandon got Itunes gift card, and I got a tree and lantern to decorate our house with!

MAKING MEMORIES

We had alot of fun things we did with family while we were visiting. Now that we have moved away from Utah and only visit once in awhile, the times we are with family seem more memorable.

EARLY CHRISTMAS

We had Christmas a little early this year since we left to Utah on Tuesday night. We opened presents Sunday morning.

Here is my Gadget girl! She now has her own camera so she doesn't have to accidentally erase pictures on mine.


Here is her with her ipod!! She loves that thing!



FUN WITH FRIENDS

Every Tuesday Me and a few friends get together with our 2 year olds and play, have lunch and do a craft or something fun. This month some things we've done is make angels, decorate gingerbread houses, and make sugar cookies.

Kayli's friends doing their favorite thing...watching tv.

Oh how we love Christmas time!

So we decided to have our own Thanksgiving dinner this last Sunday since I had boughten a 16 lb turkey (that I got for 39 cents a pound). I allowed Brandon the job of taking the neck and giblets out and rinsing out the inside. We should make it a tradition everytime we do a turkey that he does that part. :D The rest of the menu was stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied sweet potatoes, rolls, and apple pie. Yum!


Roasted to perfection! :D


Daddy and Kayli decorating the Christmas tree!


Yay for tinsel!


Shand, this pic is for you! Thanks for the cute birthday outfit! :D

Kayli turns 2

I can't believe Kayli is 2! She grew up so fast! We had her birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa Sturdevants the day before her birthday since we were in Utah. She did so good this year with her cake and she opened her presents all by herself! Thanks everyone for making her birthday so fun!

Thanksgiving

This year for thanksgiving we ate with Brandon's family and all his cousins. After the big meal everyone shot clay pigeons and played a game of volleyball. It was lots of fun!

Here is Clayton and Lauren

We spent the next day with my family, and went to the Festival of Trees in Ogden.


Kayli got to meet Santa and Mrs for the first time. She did great.


I thought I'd share a few things I am greatful for...
My husband, he is always at work doing his best and never giving less than 110%. When he comes home he is always giving me and Kayli tons of love and attention. He is so much more than I could ever ask for.
My little girl, Kayli is so much fun to be around and really is a good girl. She always keeps me on my toes and gives me something to laugh about daily.
My Heavenly Father, I love the knowledge I have that I am a daughter of God and that no matter what Heavenly Father loves me. I love having someone to tell my problems and worries to day after day. I love knowing I can live with my family forever.
My Parents, siblings, and inlaws, all of them are so full of love and support, always here for us when we need them. I love being able to spend time with each of them and am always so excited when we drive to Utah or they come here for a day or two.

...and here's our future brother-in-law

A week after Bubba got engaged, Brandon's sister Talecia got engaged to Jason. They are a great couple and we are very happy for them! We are super excited for the new additions to the family and can't wait for the weddings!

Our Future Sister-in-Law

Brandon's little brother Bubba popped the question on Sara last Thursday night. They are the cutest couple ever and we are so happy for them. Thanks for the picture lauren! :D Now I guess I won't be the favorite daughter-in-law....;D (Ron, who's your favorite now?)
