Dune Trip

I get so frustrated that I can't keep up so I just don't blog at all! I am facing my fears now and just doing a few updated posts! We went to the dunes with my sister and her family over Martin Luther King weekend. We had a lot of fun and enjoy our trips with the Harmons! We celebrated Chad's birthday Saturday and I'm a terrible wife and did nothing special for him. I'm bad I know, but the dune trip was his birthday and he had more fun doing that than anything we could've done at home.

Me being super cool on the quad. I don't have a helmet on for the picture and it was super windy!

Look at these cute boys! Logan was scared so Carson put his arm around him. Then look at Logan's cute little hand linked through Hunter's! Oh and look at Logan's hand gripping Carson's pants! (from left to right... Hunter, Logan, and Carson)

Don't worry this is just the great wall of Mexico! It goes on forever along the border of the US and Mexico. That's a lot of steel!Chad and Hunter being silly boys! Hunter kept us laughing all weekend! Funny kid. Hunter colored a picture for Chad for his birthday and Kiersten made Chad a card. Such cute kids!Megan and Riley performed a song for Chad's birthday. Let's just say so cute and hilarious! They did it to the tune of We Will Rock You! Megan knew all the rap words at the beginning which was hilarious! Megan is so sweet! I told her I was a terrible wife and didn't make a cake or anything for Chad's birthday so she thought she better come up with something to make it special fo him! Way to go Meg!

Christmas! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle it's a Holiday!

Well now that I have them all uploaded they are backwards! Sorry! Anyways the kids loved riding the horse train at the Cluff's!

I gave the kids pony rides for Christmas! They LOVED it! Even Brooklyn!!

Rylan on the mini horse! They all thought it was pretty cool to ride a real horse just their size!


Seth was probably the most excited because he is so into cowboy stuff right now. He got boots for his birthday and a hat for Christmas! I've never seen him smile so big!
The boys got bored so they drove up to the mountain and got a truck load of snow! Good thing cause by the time they got back it was snowing! We woke up to a white day after Christmas! Too bad I didn't get any pictures when everything was white!

Carson helping me make chocolates! Each kid was aloud to dip one! This was a memory from my childhood that we just had to do. It must not have been a memory for anyone else because I ended up making them all by myself! They sure were yummy though!
Chad drew Richard this year and got him the funniest shirt! It says Don't be a Richard!haha We all had a good laugh and if you know Richard you know he'll wear it!

I had so much fun playing with all the kids all week! It was fun to see Brooklyn and Mary's kids since we don't get to see them very often. Jarom is at such a cute age I just love talking to him!

Here's Jarom eating a sucker bright and early Christmas morning! He was so funny looking through his stocking, he took each thing out one at a time and was so excited!

Porter was excited to get a Sherrif set! It was a big hit throughout the week with all the kids!

My super cute husband opening his stocking! It's so fun to be married and share Christmas together! Chad about died when we opened all of our presents one at a time and it took forever! It's funny the different traditions families do!
Here's Carson finding what Santa brought! He's so hilarious! His big present was an orange bike which he found on the roof becasue Santa couldn't fit it through the chimney! He thought that was pretty crazy!
We did the Nativity this year for the first time! It was a little crazy getting everyone in their costumes! The funniest part was Carson of course! He was the shepherd and when he walked off 'stage' he said, "Come on sheep!" Of course he didn't have any sheep but he knew he was a shepherd!haha Then when he went to see baby Jesus (just a doll) he said, "Oh you're so cute!" In his little baby talk voice! That kid keeps us all laughing!

Christmas! Ya I'm a little late but what's new! We had a wonderful Christmas in Safford with all the fam! Although everyone was sick at least once! We had the stomach flu and the cold going around and it was not fun! Luckily nobody was throwing up Christmas morning. I'll blog the fun event through pictures!
