Tis' the season

I know I have been slacking on blogging so now I will squish a lot of events together all in one. First off... We had a fabulous holiday! We started off with a party at the White home and all the kids had a blast! They are all at the age where they have so much fun opening presents! We also had a friends ugly sweater party...which was awesome. We love hanging out with our friends. Dan won at poker, which was awesome.

Christmas at our house was great. We got to spend Christmas eve at Dan's mom's and spent Christmas at home with the boys. We got to just lounge around and relax.

Right now, Dan's dad and little sister are in town for a week and we have been loving it. We went to Temple square, out to dinner, and just hung out. We have had a really great holiday season.

Baby Hayden!!

This sweet little baby came into our lives Saturday 12/12 at 12:02! Dans sister Ashley and Jordan had Hayden Hasler and he is just so sweet! We have been spending all the time we can with him! He is so cute and I am so excited to add another boy to our lives! Now we are just waiting for my sister to have her baby boy any day!! What a fun month!

Then and Now

There is not much to blog about in our life right now, but I have been thinking a lot about my babies and how blessed I am to have them and that they are healthy and happy kids. They are starting to get so big and I just forget them as babies so I thought I would post the then and now pics. I can't believe how fast time flies...anyone think its about time for another?;)

Halloween Time!

This year in Halloween Dan and I went to The Utes game so we celebrated Halloween on friday with the ward at the Trunk or Treat! The boys had a blast, but still didnt get the concept of Trick or Treating. They were still adorable though!Dan and I waiting for the game to start! Showing some spirit!

He was soo good! When Levi had to wear a costume last year, he hated it! He wanted out the whole time, but Luke loved his!!
Levi would shoot me then say "Sorry momma!"

Carving pumpkins!!!

Monday night we spent family night at Dan's mom's carving pumpkins! Its a fun tradition for the kids but it always ends up being just the adults carving.... we had a blast though.
