Happy New Year!

We were going to stay home for New Years, but then Jason decided to take a few days off, so we headed up to Logan to my sisters house! We were there for a few days and the kids loved playing with all their cousins. The kids got to stay up a little later on New Years Eve and we had a pretend countdown at 10pm with noisemakers and rootbeer floats. It was fun for them, although Henry was confused as to why they were doing all this.

Lani and Dave came up from Vegas as well. What a party crowd they look like!

Everyone got to go skiing, so I stayed back with these two cuties and we had a fun little day together. They are the same age(okay Morgan is 5 months older and yes she is smaller) and love playing with each other.

Happy 9th Anniversary!

We just had our 9th Anniversary! Wow, I can't believe that it has been that long, time flys way too fast! We have been through a lot together and have lived in quite a few places in the past 9 years. We have 4 kids now, crazy!
We were able to go out to dinner, movie, and a night away from the kids at a hotel for our Anniversary! Thanks to Jasons mom for watching the kids! It was nice to have one last night together before having another child join our family.
The neatest thing though was when I got a knock at the door and someone handed me flowers. I can't tell you the last time I got flowers was, so it made me a little teary eyed with excitement from being appreciated and loved, I guess. Katelyn noticed and gave me a little hug, it was a fun/cute moment.
Thanks Jason for being such a great husband and for 9 wonderful years together, and many many more to come!

A Hull Christmas!

We had a great Christmas with Jasons family at our house. His sister came down from Canada, so the kids has lots of cousins to play with. Jason took Katelyn and Henry skiing for their first time and they did pretty good and didn't complain about it.
We were able to go down to Temple square to see all the Christmas lights, although we chose the wrong day and it was way to busy, but still had fun. The kids had a lot of fun playing with cousins and getting ready for Santa to come visit. We played out the nativity story, Katelyn was Mary, Henry was a shephard, and Morgan was one of our Angels. It was fun being able to stay at our house and keep traditions going that we both had while we were growing up.
The kids had a great Christmas and got more than they needed, but I had fun shopping and spoiling them. They all got pillow pets and were quite excited, they carry them and sleep with them every night.
Jason got me a 'Dyson Vaccuum,' which I was quite surprised about and glad to finally have a vaccuum that sucks!
So enjoy the many random pictures from our Christmas and during the holidays!

Family Christmas Pictures!

Here are the best pictures that I could get. We were trying to hurry right before church and trying to use the self timer, so give us a little break.

I always get the girls matching dresses and then we happened to find matching ties for Jason and Henry, and he was pretty excited to be like dad. Yeah I can't bend down the far and Morgan is laughing at me, great family pictures!
Like I said, we ran out of time and our heads were cut off, but this would've been a great one. Next year, we'll call a neighbor for some help.

My ever growing Belly!

These pictures are for those of you that have told me that keep forgetting that I'm pregnant because you live so far away. Anyway, I'm definetely still pregnant and here are a few pictures to prove it.
This first one was taken beginning of December, so I would've been about 33 weeks prego!

Jasons cute neices wanted a picture of us together, so we had to do our traditional belly picture. Jason has actually been losing weight lately and so he is really pushing his stomach out for this one, but his neices said that I'm still smaller, so you can also be the judge.
I only have a couple weeks to go, yeah. I am actually pretty excited now because I have been so sick this pregnancy with the flu and now I have the worst cold/sore throat ever. I have absolutely NO Voice. My poor kids look at me like 'What are you talking about mom.' Although they can't ever tell when I'm mad at them so they think that they can get away with more!

Christmas Day!

Santa Claus!

We had our 'Ward Christmas Party', and of course we had a great visitor at the end whom all the kids enjoyed very much! Santa Claus!

He came in and read a great story to the kids, they got to do actions to it and were so involved. Then they got to take turns sitting on his knee. I can't remember a year that at least one of my kids didn't cry or sit on his knee. This year, they were ALL excited to sit on his knee and tell him what they wanted for Christmas! It was fun watching all of them wait their turn! Then Morgan ran up infront of the kid ahead of her and gave him a big hug, it was way too cute! They were all so into the storytime with Santa!

Morgy and Santa!

I loved this picture of Henry telling Santa what he wanted(a garage for his toy cars)!

Katelyn and Santa deep in conversation!

My little gang, they were pretty excited about their candycanes!

Winter Fun!!!

I can't tell you how excited my kids were when they woke up one morning and everything outside was covered in fluffy snow! Henry couldn't stop asking when we were going to go make a snowman. So he was pretty excited to go help dad build one. Although he tackled it when it was all done(thanks to dad demonstrating that last year), so we had to fix it because Katelyn didn't appreciate that very much. Here is our 'Canadian' frosty!
All Morgan wanted to do was eat the snow, so we just made sure that there was no yellow snow around her.

When it's cold outside what can we find to do inside? Why not have a spa afternoon. I pulled out the footspa and face masks, the kids had a blast with them. We made smoothies and snacks. Henry is officially a fan of the spa, Jason wasn't too excited about his boy doing that though!

I got to help out with Katelyns class Thanksgiving party. We did a fish pond and game with them at our booth. Henry was so excited to come along and hangout with his big sister. He talks about going to school all the time(but it has to be Katelyns school). Not until next year I tell him.
