I surprised Bray one morning and signed him up to skydive

you should have seen his reaction!

i think it was a success!

Adoption

We are actively looking to adopt a little one. We created an adoption blog which explains a little about us, please check it out. Also, you can copy and paste the link to add our button onto your blog to help us pass along the word. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We can't wait for the chance to become parents! Thanks a ton!

a record he is not proud of

that's right folks,

we did it!

for the first time ever...

(i am not sure if we are really proud of that or not)

Dear St. George Parade of Homes People,

I am usually one of your biggest fans, and although this year you did manage to keep me entertained, can I ask..What was with you this year?? Where was all of the creativity? What was with the boring walls and blah every day decor? Most importantly where was the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home?? You let me down this year!

However, I do want to thank you for providing us with houses that we might possibly be able to afford sometime in our lives.

Also, thank you for house #11, just when I was loosing all hope you did give me this beauty, I could have moved right in! But, in all seriousness I do hope that you can redeem yourselves next year!

Love,

your toughest critic

don't worry...

Bray was able to do some manly things and put his christmas presents to good use

the weather was warm warm warm!! I am not happy to be back to snow.

bring on 2010

Every New Years has me thinking about the past year and what I have accomplished, I'll admit that it had me feeling pretty bad for myself thinking about how uneventful I felt 2009 was for me. So this post is more for myself than anyone but as I started looking at our pictures from this past year it made me realize that I am so blessed and that even if I don't feel like I am where I should be in my life I need to enjoy the small and simple moments in life. 2009 was filled with so many fun memories and I am so thankful for them all!

countdown

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our place,

and I must say Brett & Bray are feeling the Holiday Spirit

with these irresistible Christmas jammies

(if you ask me these PJ's should not even be made for anyone older than the age of 2!)

....can't wait only 19 days and counting!

(til these jammies can be boxed away!)

.m.o.a.b.

We had the privilege of going to Moab once again this year and oh did we have fun!

We look forward to this little getaway ever year, here is a re-cap of some of the festivities.

I wish we were back there already....

or just in warm weather.

(can you tell I already need another vacation?)

hint..hint..hubby..

the boys getting ready to conquer yet another year @ slick rock.

of course there was lots of jeeping and fun was had by all ages.

especially by this 1 1/2 year old, it was her first time behind the wheel.

(man, I feel bad for this little girls parents, I can only imagine what she will be like when she can actually drive a car!)

.....can I just tell you how excited I was when I had to brush this giant rats nest out!!

the girls sportin' our moab gear

the boys posing for the upcoming southern utah calendar

can't wait to go again next year.
