Road Trip

Dave & I went to Las Vegas over the weekend with 4 other couples. We spent 2 days in Vegas & then took Harley's down to Phoenix for Supercross! It was way fun! Friday the girls had a day at the spa. I've never had a facial or a massage, it was so nice & relaxing!
Thank you Christy for watching the kids for us!

Sweet Natalie

A few days before Natalie's baptism I took her to Temple Square in SLC. It was such a neat experience to be able to take her.

Natalie was baptized on January 2nd. It was such a special day for her. Christy made a beautiful dress for her. She looked like a little snow angel. What a way to start a new year. Thank you all for coming and sharing this special day with Natalie!

December in Review

Well we celebrated Dave's birthday this weekend by going out for dinner to Five Guys Burgers. It was our first time there & it was really good. His good friend Justin was in town as well. The kids & I made him a candy gram for his birthday. I mean, what do you get a guy who's got everything?!? I even asked him what he'd like for his birthday.
We also celebrated Natalie's birthday. We had a surprise party for her. She thought we were going to do it on Dec. 14. We had her party down at the pool house & had about 30 kids. She was so surprised when all her friends jumped out & yelled 'SURPRISE'! She came up to me & told me I was a liar because we had her party earlier than she thought. I'm surprised she didn't find out. I mean, parents would call me & she'd be right next to me, or kids would talk about it in class in front of her.

We all went to Minnesota for Christmas! It was fun to see my parents & my brother along with his family. We got in on Christmas eve. Christmas morning we woke up to find Santa came to visit over the night & left presents for the kids. My brother & his family came later that afternoon. It was so cute seeing my girls & his 2 girls play together. Gavin got to play with his 2 older boy cousins. Later that day my G-ma, aunt, uncle, & my cousins came for dinner. It was fun to see everyone again. We went to the Mall of America. The kids had a blast going on all the rides there. Natalie loved the big roller coaster the best. Gavin liked the Pepsi roller coaster & the log chute. Ashley loved the Pepsi roller coaster as well. The kids got to go slidding for the 1st time in their lives. They had fun going up & down the hill. We took the whole family to Dave & Busters to celebrate December birthdays. It was amazing to see how many people had a birthday in December. We finally came home one December 29 to get ready for Natalie's baptism on January 2. So many parties, so little time.
