CELEBRATION!!!

December 26th is a big day in our house... especially this year. David celebrated his 5 year cancer free mark, and in the cancer world your considered "cured" after 5 years. YEAH! Every year his health continues to be one of the biggest blessings in our lives.

He also has continued to work on school these past couple of years and is graduating this month with a Bachelors in Aviation Science from Utah Valley State College. School is finally over, and I am not sure who is more excited about this... me or him. Okay him, but it will be nice to finally have him home and all his attention. In the past when he has been home, we have had to share him with school work.

David is an amazing husband, dad, and best friend and I feel so lucky for everyday with him. (Sorry to embarrass you honey:))

A New Look!

The other day I found Brinn fast asleep just like this. I think she is trying to start a new trend with sleeping masks.

Christmas Jammies

Aidan and Brinn in there Christmas Jammies!

A Shout Out to DAD!!!

We miss you Dad! Merry Christmas!

Santa Came Early

This year we wrote a letter to Santa and asked him if he would come a couple days early since David was not going to be home on Christmas (one of the down sides of being a pilot.) Sure enough, Santa arrived on Sat. night so after church on Sunday we came home and opened gifts. Aidan's reaction to seeing the gifts was "no way." Aidan got a new toddler bed and cars, so I guess he was a nice boy this year. Brinn got an exersaucer and some other nicknack's. Aidan designated himself official present opener, luckily this year Brinn didn't argue.






This morning we watched my sister and brother open their Santa gifts, then we opened the family gifts from under the tree. Aidan once again designated himself official opener, until he opened his garbage truck and after that he didn't want to open another present... at least for a little while.(He has an obsession with garbage trucks, and lives for garbage day every week.)






My sister got a jacket that is surrounded by fur on the hood and when Aidan saw it he said, "Daisy?" (which is our ferret). He kept turning the hat around looking for her head. Then he said, "Where Daisy go?"


We feel truly blessed this Holiday Season. Hope today finds you as happy, healthy and enjoying life as much as we do. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The Big Man

Today at Sea World we met Shamu Santa. Aidan was not quite sure about him at first but after a while warmed up to him and ended up going back a second time for a high-five.



We also met the "real" Santa the other day but didn't get a great picture. Aidan LOVES Santa. He stood in line saying "Santa, Santa," and when the kids in front of us were done he said, "Aidan's turn." He told Santa he wanted some cars... so I guess we will find out soon if he has been naughty or nice!

All Bundled up!

I know it was like 70 degrees here today but I could not help but get Brinn all bundled up in this cute outfit with the matching hat to go to Sea World today. I was taking her picture and Aidan came over and decided that he wanted to be in the picture too. So here are my cute kiddos!

Blue Dogs

Just another funny Aidanism:

Aidan's favorite new show is "blue dogs." Any guesses? I bet many of you are thinking Blues Clues, which would be the most obvious guess. Is that your final answer? Wrong...

Aidan has discovered the show smurfs, which he refers to as the "blue dogs."
