We're still alive.....

Wow I have a lot to catch up on! The most recent and exciting is that we got family pictures taken!! Me and Clayton in the picture too! (the first time EVER) They turned out sooo cute, I highly recommend this photographer AMY FRAUGHTON - she is good. I haven't gotten the disc of pictures but I took a few with my own camera after we were done with the shoot. As you can see mine have extras in all the backgrounds, legs, cars, and unknown people, but Amy is amazing with her editing!



Makayla was so fun that day, she was way too cute!!






My most favorite boys had birthdays! Cody turned 6 and Clayton turned the big **32** . We had fun celebrating. Cody picked Chuck E. Cheese's and Clayton and David (Clayton's twin) picked Texas Roadhouse.











Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing. We stayed in town and had it with my side of the family. We ate, laughed, and ate some more! We then pulled an all nighter and hit the Black Friday sales, lets just stay I couldn't hang - 6:30 a.m. I thought I was gonna fall asleep walking through the stores.


The count down is on for Christmas! The kids are so excited. I talked Clayton into letting us wake up somewhere other than our house on Christmas morning. That was his # 1 rule for Christmas, is that the kids have to be at their own house. This year we are going to Snowflake to his parents house, hopefully we will have a WHITE Christmas! Can't wait!


I skipped a few events but I won't bore everyone. (Clayton's boys only camping trip, Chandler light parade, family bowling night)

Hope everyone is loving the cooler weather and enjoying the Holiday Season. This is the best time of year to create great memories for the kids.

I cant wait to see more of the ones amy took. Good to see you again. Blogging is only bad when the looking and reading takes away from the family.

Ha Ha....It was fun to have you guys there at the light parade. Kaden thinks he is a rock star and Cody was there to see him.....

Memories....we need to make more of them!!!!
