I suck...Merry Christmas!

The title pretty much sums it up, I ment to send out Christmas cards, but I don't think it is going to be happening this year, I am lucky to get my house cleaned and kids looking non-orphany, so consider this your card...sorry! We still love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas! Don't look at the picture too closely because as said above it sucks, oh well.

Our family is doing great, the kids are growing like weeds. Dylan is in fourth grade and loving it, Braxton is in first grade and has a blast at school, Ethan is a monster and terrorizes everyone, but he is cute so we will keep him. We are so thankful for each other and for all of you and for the gospel in our lives, we truly are so blessed!

Merry Christmas!!

The Bonnetts

This is my friend Jess and her family, it was so fun to see them, I haven't seen them forever! I think the last time I saw Sam he was what, 4? Crazy how time flies! It was so great to see all of you! Jess, let me know if this meets your approval... :)

The "trap"

The other day I was doing the dishes when Ethan and Jake (my nephew) started laughing hysterically. I've learned from them that sometimes that can mean trouble so I went to see what they were doing and this is what I found...they told me it was their trap.

The Jackman family

I've been so bad at blogging lately...I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago, Suzanne is my visiting teaching partner and has the most darling family! I felt so bad for her kids because it was so COLD!! I was freezing, and when I was editing the pictures it made me cold just to look at their red little cheeks and noses! They were troopers though and we got through it. It helps to have candy in the car for little motivation to hang in there!

The Millers

These guys are such a darling family and their girls are the cutest ever! They both have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen. They were so cute and loved to have their pictures taken. When I had them put on their tutus they just took off dancing. One thing I learned while I was taking their pictures is I need to be mindful of who is behind me when I say "Look for the fairies", right Haley?

Gorgeous Katie!

I had to put a couple up Katie, don't hate me!! Katie is such a good sport, she let me take maternity pictures of her even though she really didn't want to do them. I know how she feels, when I was prego I wouldn't go near a camera. If I looked like Katie does pregnant though that would be a different story! She is so tiny and just all belly, without a hint of strechmarks! So not fair!

It's FINALLY here!!!

I am writing this post while I am drinking major amounts of caffiene, I am still in my Edward shirt I wore last night, and I barely recall getting my kids off to school. We went to the midnight release of Twilight and didn't get home until 3 in the morning. We stood in line for 3 hours among crazed edward fans that were taking pictures of the commercials that played before the movie! Was it worth it? I thought it was! I always loved Rob and Kristen as Edward and Bella, but seeing the movie, I think they nailed it! Yeah, it wasn't as good as the book, and some of it was monotone and cheesy, and Rob seemed to forget that he wasn't a british vampire, but I think they did a good job! I think they could have made it 30 min. longer so it didn't seem so rushed. My sis that hasn't read any of the books ( shocking I know!) said that she liked it. So I want to know what everyone else thought...what did/didn't you like, what was your favorite part, would you go see it again?

Sorry...I will go private the right way.

I got scared from a news clip I saw and immediatly clicked over to private, but I realized I don't know everyone's emails so if you want to leave a comment with your email and I will add you!

My favorite feature on him: His eyes, when he smiles they light up his whole face (cheesy I know)
My favorite quality he has: He can fix or make anything! He is like MaGyver, give him a paperclip, string, and duct tape and he can make anything! I also love that he is always willing to help others. He has people calling him constantly to help with things and I always tell him to say that he is too busy (I'm horrible, I know) but he always helps them no matter what, with a smile.

What do you admire most about him: He is such a hard worker and will do anything for his family. He is such a great father to our children and a great husband.
His favorite color: Is camo a color?
How did he propose: He took me to dinner and I could tell he had something on his mind, he was so nervous about something, which made me nervous. He never said anything though so I forgot about it and then when we were walking out to the jeep he got down and proposed. It was very sweet.
Love you Honey! I tag: You all know who you are, and Colbie, Dan is pretty much your long distance husband so you have to do this to!
