Finally.....Christmas

Before we left for our fun trip to Utah...

Please excuse the pictures, I got a little video camera and these are just snap shots from the video. Didn't turn out like we hoped, I guess you get what you pay for.

For those of you that don't know Cheyenne very well, she doesn't like clothes. After her naps I'll go in to get her and she's naked. The kid just doesn't like having clothes on. Anyways, I thought this was the funniest position for watching TV. They were watching "The Grinch" (the cartoon).

Aren't they so sweet. They give each other hugs all the time. I love it!!!

They were showing me the snacks they were taking with them to church.

Christmas in Utah...

Grandma planned for some fun things...

The kids made candy trains.

Ayva's train.

They were so cute, although I think I was having more fun with them then the girls were.

Cheyenne's train.

Playing at great grandma and grandpa Bradshaw's house after making the candy trains.

They loved their decorations.

Sitting around chatting with family.

Getting ready to play outside. The girls got new snow clothes for an early christmas present.

The girls, daddy, grandma and grandpa went for a little "hike" (for the girls) while I got to take some baby pictures.

I was told that the girls did an awesome job with that big staircase.

Look at all that snow!

Ayva was making snow angels.

Cheyenne was a little nervous with all these clothes on.

Grandpa made a trail for them.

Of course daddy was out in the cold snowy day with short sleeves. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

They got some My Little Ponies.

Just hanging out!!

Ethan was carrying Ayva (Mary).

Finishing the story, Ayva looks very impressed!

Then they all got to open a gift.

Ayva loves unicorns, especially pink ones!

Christmas morning!

We also had 2 baby blessings in the family and the girls got to wear their new Christmas dresses!

Thanks for a fun Christmas and making it so much fun for the girls!!!

And here are the adorable babies that I took pictures of...

Aren't they so cute?!!!

They were fun, easy babies to take pictures of, I love doing this stuff especially with models like these!!

A very early Christmas decoration...

My sister found this really cute idea so I decided to do it. I waited for the after Christmas sales and so glad I did because I got the ones I wanted.

There are a few spots that I'm not a fan of but with practice comes perfection, right?!!! It is also missing the ribbon that you attach at the top to hang it but I'm just thrilled I got it done!

Cheyenne's 2 year pictures...

A little late but hey, that's just me!

This is just the first of them, I have another outdoor photo shoot with her in the next couple days.

I just love this little girl!! She has the cutest personality and has been saying the funniest things lately! Josh and the girls were driving home from church one day while I was at a meeting. Josh was just playing with Cheyenne and said to her, "Hi Ayva." Cheyenne said, "No EEOW, (patting her chest) I Beeths."

Love you Beese!!!

I still have yet to post about Christmas. It's coming soon!

A Sunbeam

Yesterday, Ayva became a Sunbeam! I can't believe it! She's growing so fast.

After church, I went by her class but Josh had already picked them up. The teacher was still there so I asked how she did.

She said Ayva did great and that she even offered to say the pray. I can't believe it. She definitely doesn't get that from me, I was so shy in new situations and still am.

Way to go Ayva! I'm so proud of you!

To the love of my life...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

What would I do without you?!!!

You are an amazing father and husband and we are extremely blessed and lucky to have you.

You are my very best friend and know me so well, sometimes better than I know myself. What I did to deserve you is beyond what I can comprehend. You amaze me everyday with your knowledge and understanding, with your drive and physical ability to go climbing all over these mountains and call them little hikes.

I'm excited for our life together, yes we still have years to go, and knowing you and loving you even more! And then you have to spend the rest of eternity with me. Lucky you! hahaha

I love you!!!
