Goodbye

Here is our moving truck all loaded up. And this is the last post on this blog. I know I can just change this blog over to protected access, but I want to start a new one, so there. Email me if you want to keep reading and I'll get you on my list!

 

Cousins

My brother and his family came to help us move. I hope he'll email me the pictures he took because I didn't take very many and he did, but here are three:


Caleb and Hyrum playing Sequence.


Kathleen with Edward saying "don't take my picture!" Edward wasn't feeling well.


Jesse and Ellie asleep together.... it was so sweet! 

Magneato Castle

 

Christmas Morning Breakfast

It is Jared's family's tradition to have Pigs in Blankets on Christmas morning and we always enjoy them!



 

Joyful Day

 

Ellie's First Christmas

 

The Loot

 

Christmas Eve in New Pajamas

These darling pajamas were made by Jared's mom and we love them!




This is how Ellie fell asleep Christmas Eve while Jared and I were watching It's A Wonderful Life:

Family Dinner on the 23rd

 

White Enough

 

Snowfall

Snow on the ground this morning provided a lot of fun for my kids today! I gave them sled rides around the backyard.



 

A Spectacle

With the move coming up, we're getting rid of everything we can. We gave our spring horse to our friends Rob and Eve, and to get it home Rob tied it on the roof of his car. It was so funny to see it driving down the street. He then had to go 30 miles on the freeway. I wonder what people thought!

 

Small But Brave

Here are my two junior firefighters. Joey's friend Jesse came over yesterday and brought his firefighter suits. All three boys had a blast putting out imaginary fires with imaginary hoses. We're going to miss Jesse. He is the best of Joey's friends for playing imagination games and they will play happily and calmly for hours. I hope we can find a friend like that for Joey in our new town!

How Ellie Fell Asleep For Her Afternoon Nap

Jared said she flopped over on him, cooed for awhile, and then fell asleep. He was in heaven.

 

Feathered Hat

Today was mild, so I made the boys play outside. Sam wore his pumpkin hat and embellished it with a lovely maple leaf.


 

Pick Me Up!

I'm cute and I promise you lots and lots of smiles!
