Countdown to Disney!!!

For Christmas Jason's Parents surprised all the grand-kids and spouse's with this trip. We cannot wait!!!

20 more days! till cousins and sun and mickey's house!

Mason is potty trained!! While Jason and I were in Alaska Omie potty trained Mase. We refuses to pee in the pull-up when he naps and he has even woken up in the morning with the totally dry pull-up! He has defiantly been the easiest :)

Love these cuties

Susan...

On January 12, we got a phone call. My brother Chris and his wife Susan of 4 years (this past October) live in Alaska. We had been tubing and swimming with Jason's family that day and got the phone call that afternoon. Susan and Chris were out doing something they did all the time. They were sledding and Susan was on the sled by herself and hit a log. Not soon after, she passes away. We hurried and tried to figure out a way we could get up to Alaska to be with my brother. I have a friend who used to work for Alaska Air and she put out a call on Facebook if anyone had buddy passes they would be willing to share...I have never been more grateful for a complete stranger in all my life. Jason and I were able to go up for her "Celebration of Life". I am so glad we were able to go and have Chris show us around. We went to some places that were her and Chris's favorite, places they ate, places they went fishing, go to their home..as much as it sucked to be there for those circumstances, I know Susan wanted us there, and I know without a a shadow of a doubt she made it possible for us to make every single standby flight on time, and I know and absolutely felt her warmth in the sunshine. We love you Susan and I hope we can continue to smile like you always did!

Fresh Chub :)

Mase just adores Harper..naughty little teacher :)

One night after bath just watching a little Mickey Mouse before bed

We went to the aquarium..what a waste of $$$ ..but they had fun (they don't know I will never take them back)

We went out to Omie's house to help pick corn and watch Papa cut the Hay.

Mason picked tomatoes from the garden and was having a party with them! He loves them

The girls I have babysat for almost 4 years have moved. Seriously sad day here at our house...we took some pictures of all the kids together for one last time :)

Weekend in Rexburg

We went to Rexburg a few weekends ago for Jason's Brother Nate and wife Tiff's baby blessing. Juliette was such a cutie and she looked just like Mackenzie did when she was a baby. Sweet new baby smell, love it!!

We spent lots of time swimming in the hotel pool with cousins!

Mason and "Bubs" ..they were cute, one morning they dressed in the same shirt, everyone thought they were twinners :)

We all went together to see the new Ice Age movie, really cute :)

and they played some arcade games

Harper got bored in the hotel one night and decided he needed to work out :)

And these boy's together just make me smile, they loves each other and we are so sad they are moving to AZ.

Jay and I drove past one of the places where we lived when we were newlyweds in rexburg. It's crazy being back in the burg, with 3 kids!
