~~WILLS PRIESTHOOD ADVANCEMENT~~

Will was made a priest on his birthday!  We are so proud of Will and his decision to make good choices and live a life that he is worthy to bless the sacrament.  It was pretty special to have Mike, Jake and Will all at the sacrament table together for Will's first time of blessing the sacrament.  I am so unbelievably grateful for these men in  my life and their worthiness!  I couldn't imagine living in a home without the priesthood there! I LOVE THEM ALL!!!

 

~~ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS~~

We are all decorated and ready for Christmas!  It is hard to believe when we take the decorations down that Rachel will be home a few days after :)

 

 

 

~~ANOTHER DRIVER IN THE HOUSE~~

Will got his license the day after he turned 16 (since his birthday was on a Sunday).  He is super excited to have his license and the freedom that comes with it.  Lucky for us he is a very good driver :)

~~HAPPY "16th" BIRTHDAY WILL~~

Will is such a hard worker.  He worked  8 months this past year at Driggs as a sweeper and banked some $$$.  Will has such a relaxed, funny personality.  He is so witty and continually makes me laugh!  This is a big birthday with getting his license and starting to date.   Will's choice for dinner was Longhorn steakhouse :) We love you Will and hope you have the best year a head!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

~~HAPPY THANKSGIVING~~

It was our turn to have Thanksgiving dinner this year with the Nelsons.  We had it up in Logan at Melanie and Brad's house.  We started our Thanksgiving party Wednesday night with games and a sleepover :)  Thanksgiving day we prepared food and set tables together and after dinner we went and saw a movie before heading back to Salt Lake.  It was fun to spend so much time together.  Before we left for the movie we self timed a picture of the crew that was there.  I was so sad when we transferred the pics that the group pic somehow disappeared :(  OWell next family event I'll get one! haha  

*We missed Troy, Brett, Sairah, Sage, Lindsey, Alex, Morgan, Keaton and of course our missionaries (Rachel and Annie)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

~~NOVEMBER BIRTHDAY DINNER~~

We LOVE birthday dinners!  It is such a great time to have the grandparents over and spend time with them at our home. We are lucky to have such amazing, loving and awesome examples in our lives!!!

 

~~HAPPY "18th" BIRHDAY JAKE~~

Jake has really grown a passion for running and climbing this past year.  He has more discipline and drive than most people I know.  He is very mysterious and keeps us on our toes!  A lot of great things are in store for Jake with High school graduation coming up and college and a mission. Jake's choice for dinner was Bandits :) We love you Jake and hope you have the best year a head!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
