EIGHT MONTHS OLD !

Honoring Olivia

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at The Festival of Trees. This tree is in
memory of my cousin Oliva who passed away. It is entitled "Always and
Forever" The flowers on the tree are all made into headbands and clips for
little girls. She also loved butterflies, horses and dress ups. I will be
thinking of her during this Christmas season. She is our little angel.

my sweet family

rise and shout the cougars are out...

It was a great ending to the BYU game with a BIG WIN! Our

family cheered so loud for our cougars, and all though it was

very cold it was well worth it!

turkey day

Hope you all had a great day with your family!!

all the glory

Im so jealous!! Jackson says Dad and Tony loves

to rub it in. He wont even begin to to say mom.

Its really cute though and Jackson gets all excited

if someone will say it with him. His first word :)

5 teeth = cheerios!

Jacksons latest greatest is cheerios!! Ive always wanted to
be that mom that gets to feed her children cheerios.
He cant get enough of them!

every member a missionary

I remember my baptism day very vividly. It is one of the highlights in my life.

Like many, I was eight years old. My parents taught me the signifigance of

this great ordinance. Since then I have loved attending baptisms and

watching others become members of the church. Last month Tony and I

had the opportunity attending a baptism. I havent been to one for a while

and this one in particular was special for me.

One of our family friends Jordan Giron was introduced to the church by

Regge who had recently returned from his mission. They became friends

and Regge being the great missionary he was asked her about the church.

She was familiar with it and he asked her to read the Book of Mormon.

She did and loved it. The missionaries in Texas taught her the discussions

over the summer and Regge was honored to baptize her. Jordan attends

Boise State University and has turned into a big Boise fan... which is why

she was baptised in the Boise River. How cool is that!!

As you can tell it was a cold day but the two of them were great

sports. The Elders linked up to help them walk down the slippery

hill. There was so much support from family and friends.

Doesn't she look so happy!

birthday wishes

While in Utah we celebrated my sister in laws birthday. Hayley turned 22!!

Her favorite treat is pickles so she got the LARGEST jar of pickles ever.

My mom also made her a beautiful vase full of wedding pictures. She has

been so fun to have in the family!!

and Mckay turned 15 this past week!! He is such a stud. We got

home Sunday night and celebrated with the family. He got some

fun stuff for his birthday. For part of FHE we went around

the room and everyone got to say something special about

Mckay, it was really neat.

Jackson is 7 months old. We loving watching him grow up. He just got his fourth tooth and looks so cute when he smiles. He is such a happy baby and so fun to be around. We missed him so much while we were gone for a week and now what we are back we are with him every second of the day, which I love! This picture totally depicts how silly he is!

catching up

I wanted to update the events of the last couple weeks and

include the alphabet as well. K - is for Karaoke!! We just returned

from a great cruise and one of my highlights is watching my husband sing!

While on our cruise we traveled to many places, one of my favorites was
Lovers Island. A beautiful private island with one of the most

beautiful beaches I have ever seen. L is for Lovers Island!

Our next stop is M for Mazatlan!! We spent the day touring,

swimming and shopping (of course) It is so beautiful.

I love the letter N : Never ending shopping! Its great

finding deals and gifts..anything you want!!

This vacations deserves the O !! Ocean baby!

Its amazing that over 71% of the world is covered in water.

More than half of this area is over 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) deep.

P is for Princess Cruise Line. enough said...

R is for Romance/relaxation! Tony and I loved

spending a week together just the two of us.

It was such a great getaway.

Now that I've covered 7 letters hopefully you get an

idea of what our cruise was like!
