Family Tree

We took this pic before Thanksgiving, but I had forgotten to post it, so here it is.

Christmas Time of Year!

This Christmas season I've had time to reflect on what really matters most. Today is fast Sunday (for those not LDS, every 1st Sunday of the month, we bear our testimony of Christ at church, voluntary of course). I haven't done this in awhile because I dont like to speak in front of big crowds and though I did not do it again this Sunday.

I want to let my family and friends know that I do have a testimony of Christ, of his gospel and that I am extremely grateful for the plan of salvation and what I have been given, my husband, son and the wonderful life that we live. I am grateful for Christ's atonement for us. I am grateful for Temples, for being able to be sealed to my husband and son for all time and all eternity. What a blessing that is!

So here is to wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas! :-)

Thanksgiving Newport Beach, CA

We had a great time this Thanksgiving, we had lots to be thankful for, especially family. The week before Thanksgiving we spent it with my family but we didn't take any pictures, it was lots of fun though, we all ate so much it hurt. Great times!

Then the week after that we spent Thanksgiving with Phillip's side of the family, where we all stayed in Newport Beach, CA for a week.


Very windy day on the beach.



Turkey bowl!! Lots of fun.



Emmett enjoying walking with daddy and cousin Ben.



Mommy's turn.



This was Emmett's first trip to the beach, he really enjoyed it, he loved playing with the sand.



Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch! Emmett would not look at the camera because he wanted to play with the wheel, (he is such a boy) we took a ton of pics and this was the best one.



The great pumpkin!



Emmett loved ridding on daddy's shoulders throughout the cornmaze.



Say "Haystacks" I mean "cheese".



Emmett's first pumpkin, he was definately intrigued by it, he kept touching, hitting and even tried licking it, lol.

Emmett's 1st Birthday

Mommy and Daddy blew out Emmett's candle for him cause he wanted to touch it :-)
