Trips to the Phoenix Zoo

Beau's work Christmas Party

We had a fabulous time at Beau's work party. They treated us to dinner at Tommy Bahamas. It was tons of fun! I'm so thankful that my husband has such a great job, especially in this economy. I'm thankful for all he does to keep us happy. He's such a hard worker. I love you Daddy!!!

1st attempt...not so good.

2nd attempt...ok.

Daddy was having fun with the camera that night and, obviously, so was I. Believe me, there were a lot more where this came from! Ha ha!!!

Thanksgiving...in January!!!

Ok, I know what you're thinking...and Yes! I AM that behind on things. Geesh. How embarrassing!!! Anyway...

Thanksgiving was wonderful! We drove out to California to spend Thanksgiving with family. We, of course, had AMAZING food as always! Haley makes the most delicious sweet potatoes i've EVER tasted in my LIFE! I think that just may be the highlight of the dinner for me. Oh...and the yummy rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, etc. etc.! I love it ALL!!! Thanks everyone for such great food, company, and all the catching up we were able to do! I just love Thanksgiving!

A few things I'm thankful for are...

My husband (best friend)
My girls
ALL of my family
My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
My Heavenly Father
Winters in Arizona
My home
My family's health
My church calling (sunbeams)
My love for life

Those are just a few. I could go on and on! I'm so thankful for life in general. I LOVE LIFE!!! I am so happy and grateful to have all I do.

The BEAUTIFUL tables that Summer put together. She can make ANYTHING look good!

She even handmade all of these beautiful place cards.

Great job Summer!

This is what happens when I tell Kalli to "strike a pose!".

This is also what happens when I tell Kalli to "strike a pose!".

And again, this is also what happens when I tell Kalli to "strike a pose!".

Miss Ellie Sue!

My Kenadee Jean!

Is it too young to potty train an 18 month old???

This is how I found Karlee the other day. We were looking all over the house for her, and were quite surprised to find her here...

She had gone to the bathroom, got on the toilet ALL BY HERSELF and had pooped in her diaper. Geesh. I think I'm in over my head with this smart little cookie!!!

The same night she discovered how to get out of her crib AND her travel crib. My baby is growing up WAY too fast!!!

Merry Christmas from the Manutai's
