Pupunu wedding (and bridal shower)

 I will let the imagination wonder as to what that is a picture of. I was at Sonya's bachlorette party

Look at this beautiful couple! James sister got married on Dec 8th. It was a joyous occation and we were so glad to be able to be part of it!

 Abrahm hanging out in the snowy weather

 Yes it was a little cold

They had their reception at a beautiful venue full of flower and plant

The cousins had so much fun! especially throwing all the pebbles around that were on the walking paths

During the month of December Roy had the stomach flu minus about 1 week. I finally took him to the dr. and she said he probably just contracted 2 different bugs. Poor kid! He was being a little squirmy here.

Bella and her cousin Sadie trying to escape into the cold winters night?

I just have to mention the food! It was so good! Poor pig, man did it taste good.

Hat for Brahm

Royce thought it was very important that Brahm wear this colander as a hat. lol

Moving to Utah

We made our move to Utah over Thanksgiving weekend. It was a really smooth transition. The kids all did great. We made the drive over three days. I drove the van and James drove the moving truck. We were all happy to get to our new home when we finally arrived!

Here was one of our pit stops in Moab, such a beautiful place

Brahm was such a trooper I was worried about him getting fussy in the car but he cried for about 20 mins the total trip. 10 mins the first day right before we got to the hotel and the same the next. It made it such a peaceful trip. And of course the older kids did fine. They loved watching their red boxes.

Good bye Texas

We went as a family election day and voted. 

Our  good friends the Cooper family and us at Avondale park

Royce has some serious eye lashes

 The Turkey Shoot. Lots of fun: James competed, I shot the gun once and the kids got to practice shooting bebe guns

Sledding 2012

 We went sledding with our cousin and Grandma Cherie on Christmas eve. SO much fun! Then we went to Aunt Heather's and enjoyed some yummy chinese food (courtesy of Uncle Curtis). Aunt Sonya and Uncle Solomon came to to and a good time was had by all!
