Fall in January

Christmas this year was pretty warm. I mean, I was in a short sleeved shirt and flip flops the morning of the 25th and I didnt regret it at all.

Just after that, the last week of December and first week of January, we had winter. It got COLD. Ice was in a thick layer on top of our cars and didnt melt all day (if not driven). Frost covered roofs, grass, and mountains were seen. Many plants were lost. In some areas of Mesa, it freaking snowed.

Then it got warm again. Boo. However, the last few days have been fall like. The leaves on the trees finally changed color from green to gold, and started falling. We took advantage of that. 

I like seriously am in love with the weather, these pictures, and my sweet sweet boy.

2015 goals

I always, ALWAYS try to do goals with realistic outcomes. No one wants to keep saying, "i'll lose 20 lbs" for the 10th year in a row. In my case it was always, "i'm going to stop biting my nails"...it just never stuck.

This next year, I plan on it being a pretty full and big one. I may not get everything on my list done...and THAT IS OKAY. I have goals to work towards. As long as I keep going, thats all that matters.

Dallin's son

2 days ago, Carissa Hunt--wife to Jace's cousin Dallin who passed away--gave birth to a healthy baby boy. 8 pounds, 22? inches, and lots of hair. Welcome to earth Levi Dallin Hunt!! 

We love you already and are so happy you got to spend some time with your 

dad before you came to us!

What a wonderful blessing he is.

New Years Eve 2014

Ringing in the New year...just how I like it. No stress, lots of food, and jammies! If I never do it any different I wont even care. I'm happy and comfortable. Ah :)

I went and got a wrist brace (i'll explain later)

We went and spent some time with grandpa and grandma hunt who are in town watching football with pop. Then we came home and ate olive garden, watched a few movies and episodes of arrow, chased my now sick son around, ate more food, made my bacon wrapped little smokies, rang in the new year by going out in the rain for 10 seconds and took a few pictures. Nash finally went down with the help of Benadryl at 12:45 AM. I followed around 2 AM. I was so tired.

Thank you for being good to us 2014...bring it 2015!

Belated Christmas

The Hunts came home and we did a belated Christmas of opening presents to Nash, and a few to us, but the most fun was watching our nephews and nieces and mom and pop and josh and jamie open our presents!

We got Josh and Jamie something boring, but what they asked for--Harkin's movie cups, t-shirt, and movie tickets. We also gave them a party game--Partini!

We gave our aspiring artist niece Grace a nice art set--pastels, charcoal, etc.

Corbin got ninja turtle legos--jace may have been jealous.

Alyssandra got her ears pierced in October--so we gave her lots of earrings!! and a new stuffed animal for her ever growing collection.

Alaric and Ryker are into Elmo...so we bought them different Elmo board books with musical cd's inside!

Mom and Pop got a pretty collage frame with all of the new family pictures we took up in St. George in November.

Nash was given lots of musical fun toys! An awesome camera, a say n see, a bear laptop, and books! So fun.
