Chloe 6 months old

All I can say is Kacey with Kacey Perry Photography, I love you!

Dedicated to my Cousin Karen

My very wonderful and talented friend, Kacey with Kacey Perry Photography, took Chloe's pictures and I wanted to dedicated these to be for Karen and her awesome and talented crocheting mania! She made this "too cute" hat for Chloe literally in a few hours while we waited for Kristin to come in town. I love that I am so lucky to have so many talented people around me.

Chloe having a blast with Great & Greatest

I had to post this clip of Chloe cracking up at Papa Great! Every time I watch it, I laugh. I had it on the computer the other night and Chloe heard it and started laughing! I love these precious moments in life!

A note to Suz & Kendall

This is a plea to get the pictures of Kendall & Chloe in Texas. Thank you so much for watching her while I finally got to go see Twilight. I am so glad to have you both in my life! Love ya!

Our Trip to Texas

The day after Christmas Chloe and I jumped on a plane and headed to Texas. My brother Aaron and Teana went through the Dallas Temple on Saturday morning. It was a wonderful ceremony and I was so glad I could be there with my brothers and family to celebrate with them. I love that Teana is in our family for eternity! It's great to have another sister. We had such a great time spending time with family, eating Mexican food, playing with cousins and having fun with friends. Thanks for the good times! We also were able to share in the excitement of Uncle Jerry and Aunt Tany's announcement of their san Jose, California Mission Call. Yeah and congratulations!

Christmas in a Really Long "Nutshell"

What a fun December Kenzie was in the play "A Christmas Carol." She played the chimes during one of the songs and sang as a background singer. She a had a great time and she even thinks next year she will try out for a speaking part. She was so proud of herself and she did a great job. She also got to play the bells in sacrament for the program. Go Kenzie, our little musician!

We also had our Ward Christmas Party and Christmas Breakfast the weekend before we moved. At the Ward Party we had dinner and a live band that the kids had a blast dancing to the Christmas music. The Santa Primary Breakfast was a blast! The kids ate pancakes with whip cream, watch a shortened version of the Christmas Carol done with marrionette puppets, sat on Santa's lap and made the cutest reindeer letter to Santa. They had a great time and practiced for the primary program, too. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Sitting with Santa and not even crying! Yeah Chloe!



















I think one of the kids favorite "traditions" as they call it, is going to Annie's to make cookies! They always have a blast and they love to tell their friends that they are going to BYU. Annie we are really going to miss you. Don't you need a few more years at BYU? Well Judy get ready, Corbyn's already informed me that your house is we they are going next year. We love you guys!

Baking with Annie at BYU!











The kids had a great time at their school Christmas parties. There was music, cookie decorating, reindeer candy canes, food and lots of hot chocolate! They are really loving their classes. Kenzie's class even read the Cajun Christmas Story, if you haven't heard check it out, it was great!






Best part of the holidays was moving in to our new home! We closed on Friday, the 19th but due to a blizzard we moved in on Saturday! What fun! We had lots and lots of snow and my kids couldn't be more excited. It took us many days to move, but thanks to our Elders Quorem we got all the furniture in on Saturday. We didn't get a tree and couldn't even find our stocking hangers, but we found the Santa plate and cup and our stockings by Christmas Eve. The kids were great sports and love their new rooms!


Our New House...Finally, Yeah!

My Favorite part of the new house...Double Ovens!


Yes, Chloe's stocking is twice her size!

Christmas Eve: The stocking were laid on the mantel with care and cookies and milk set out in hopes that Santa would soon be here! One present was opened as tradition it was and then off to their beds to sleep as they must.

Christmas Day was lots of fun! We opened presents, had omelets for breakfast, my kids favorite, made Gingerbread houses and ate turkey. We even played in the snow! What a great Christmas season!
