christmas

The girls waited patiently to come downstairs.
Whitney spent her first Christmas sick. This was as enthusiastic as she got all day.

We surprised Kinzie with a pink cell phone. She was so shocked that she burst into tears.

Temple Square Christmas Lights

Isn't the temple beautiful at night.

Whitney was so bundled up that she couldn't move. When we would talk to her only her eyes would move towards our voices.


We rode downtown on Trax. The girls loved it.

Whitney didn't make a sound all night. She just stared at everything. As much as I complained about going out in the cold. I must admit the lights were beautiful.

Thanksgiving in Arizona

While in Arizona we visited a ghost town.
Here's Whitney playing with Hunter's book.

Whitney's first taste of mashed potatoes and yams.

Our FAVORITE restaurant in Arizona. Gecko's. Yum yum!!

Grandpa Clark owes ICE CREAM!

GO UTES!!
Whitney and I stayed home while everyone else went to the game.

Kinzie and Grandpa Clark had a bet that if BYU lost he has to buy her ice cream.

Grandpa Smith and Kinzie at the game.

Virginia Project

Kinzie had to do a report on the state of Virginia. She also had to do a project of choice to represent the state. We chose to do a parade float. Thanks to Grandpa Hodgson we had a Cannon to go on top.

This is the state flower the Dogwood.

This is the state seal.

And finally, the state bird the Cardinal. The float was a success Mckinzie's teacher asked to keep it to display in the classroom for future students.

I couldn't resist snapping this picture. I guess if telling the baby to open her mouth for food doesn't work then just open your own mouth.

For Kinzie's late night we decorated Halloween cookies.

The girls popped popcorn and watch College Road Trip.

Weekend In Park City

Before we went to Park City we took Whitney on her first Rhino ride. She rode in the backseat with Gracie.
Aren't these sisters adoreable?

It was so cold up in Park City that the first night we stayed in and ate snacks. You probably could have guessed that the baby was eyeing dad's popcorn!

more fun with family and friends

Whitney has at least 3 mothers at all times. Kinzie, Gracie, and me. This is Whitney in her new walker. She got it yesterday and can back up all over the kitchen. Gracie is there to move her forward when she gets stuck.
This is Kassie, Kinzie, & Whitney at the Legacy Ctr. Halloween party

While my sisters were in town we took the kids to Liberty Land. Here is Whitney and dad on the merry-go-round. Whitney had her first taste of Coke and cotton candy. She LOVED both!!

We all ate lunch at Winger's. This is Amber dipping her hand into the Ranch dressing and licking her fingers clean.

This is Jaxon falling asleep at the table. He needed a nap to gear up for more crying :) We love you Jax!!!

Do You Want Fries With That?

Have you ever seen a 5 month old obsessed with big people food? Here is a picture of Whitney fighting uncle Rob for his soda. Just the other day she had and entire ham and cheese sandwich in her mouth. We've got to keep our eyes on this little one.

Fun With The Cousins

This is our trip to Thanksgiving Point Farm. Everyone rode the ponies except Mckinzie and Whitney. Kinzie waited in line for atleast 30 mins and when it was her turn she got right up to the pony and then chickened out.
Brooklyn had a spooky dress-up b-day party. Go super hero super power!
Kinz and Whit are matching witches.
Lulu loves to hold and play with Whitney.

Happy Birthday Mckinzie

Kinzie turned eleven years old on Sept. 29th. We traveled home from Arizona on her birthday and came home to a surprise party planned by Jake (dad).
