I can't believe it! my niece and nephew are 6 years old!! they are a tender mercy in our lives and we are so blessed to have them! just a little background , for those of you who don't know my sister and brother in law adopted them after losing their first baby Olivia on June 4th 2002(mmm i think that is the year). I still remember I was leaving work and I saw that I had a missed phone call from Misty, and I thought oh my gosh! she has a baby! and when I called her she said I have 2 babies! a boy and a girl!! Misty and Doug were living in California so I booked a flight for the next week, when I got to their house I saw a very sleep deprived Grandma and Mommy! I couldn't get enough of their sweet little faces!! they were so tiny! and of course me being the Auntie had to put a bow on Ana first thing! I am so glad that they moved to Utah so that I can see them all of the time. KyLee loves them and fights with them like they are siblings sometimes. I love Ana's sweet little personality and how she will just give me loves for no reason. I LOVE Ethan's laugh! It can make everyone around him laugh too especially at prayer time.

Another one of my nieces Madison just turned 9. It is so crazy how quickly she grew up! When Jeramey and I had just started dating Katie was pregnant with her. She has grown up to be such a smart, sassy beautiful girl. I love that she loves to learn and loves school and that she invents games to play and that she still cries sometimes when she doesn't get her way( her Mom and Dad don't love that but I do!).

KyLee and Ana dance recital pictures

Good thing my sister actually downloads pictures on a regular basis- here is Ky and Ana at their dance recital- they did such a great job!! I love watching KyLee excel at things that I totally sucked at when I was younger.... it was so funny ( to me at least)they have a "Womans Clogging class" and Jeramey always teases me about joining it- and there is this one lady who seriously is not coordinated at all- and is trying to keep up with everyone else and she keeps forgetting the steps and then turning the wrong way.. I shouldn't laugh , but that would totally be me!! More power to her for doing something that clearly she enjoys and doesn't mind looking ridiculous at it!! ( that is way too out of my comfort zone to make a fool out of myself- on purpose anyway!)I am so mean... sorry to poke fun! he he he he I giggle just thinking about her!! her cute husband was so proud and even did video and brought flowers!

Merry Christmas!!!

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
- Dr. Seuss
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! This year Christmas has come really quick - funny how many things I thought were important last year, aren't really as important- I think the most important things ARE the things we don't buy from the store...
Not a lot going on with us- I guess the biggest thing is that Jeramey is finally getting his shop in our backyard- so we have a HUGE hole - he is so excited it's funny!! like a kid on Christmas!
This year we will be spending Christmas with family and friends- one of my favorite parts of the holiday- of course the other is the FOOD! Please remember what Christmas means to you and enjoy the holiday- it goes by way too fast!
Anyway!! happy holidays! I will post pics as soon as I can !

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving- we ate dinner at my parents with my siblings- all except Adam and Tahnie ( who were greatly missed! but glad you had an opportunity to see Tahnies Fam) and Heather and Brandon announced that they are pregnant!!! yipeee!!!!! I love being an auntie!! Sweet Heather has been pretty sick, so they were relieved to tell us all so they didn't have to pretend that she wasn't anymore. i am so excited!! Jeramey's sister is also expecting so 2 more babies for me to hold!!

Then we went to Jer's Mom and Dad's for pie and hung out with them the rest of the evening.

Saturday we had our monthly game night with the Lindsay's Pinon's, Burrell's and Robbie- we have so much fun just playing around with them - and I got to love on sweet Lucas!

My grandparents were in town for grandpa's hip surgery so they came with us to see the elves at Gardener Village.
