Humor...I have a sick sense of this.

I just uploaded pictures off of my phone & I find these rather hilarious:

Andrew making creepy faces!

Look how teeny tiny my Mom looks next to her huge coke! People really do shrink!!!

We found this huge dog bone at Winco and had a good laugh at imaging Mom's dog Molly chewing on this!

Ben makes the funniest faces just to make me laugh!

Mallory made me a Mickey Mouse pancake with chocolate chips...while not altogether humorous, it did make me chuckle.

We went to the Treehouse Museum and in their theatre the kids were all given out parts. Well, nobody wanted to be the rabbit, so Matt "hopped" at the chance to perform. Oh that man makes me laugh hard!!!

It's just funny okay!?!

Ben at his birthday dinner at Chili's. Make is tickling him & he doesn't find it amusing.

Ben and his teeny-tiny little slice of pizza!

It looks like Josh has gas & Mallory is smelling it!

Joshua acting like a little girl!

The caramel bubbling over...it was pretty funny in the moment! My Mom was there...and she is funny when things like this happen..."Oh, Oh, Oh!!!"

Laughter is good for the soul people...trust me.

Christmas Village

Saturday night we went to Downtown Ogden and saw the Christmas Village.

It was really cold, but I love going & was still so much fun! Different businesses in Ogden sponser a house. They build a house, that's about the size of a shed and put a Christmas scene inside. It is really cool. And there are lights everywhere! The trees and grounds are just covered. It is one of my favorite places to go during the holidays.
Elizabeth, Mom, Emily...

Plus Andrew...

Plus Matt...

Rylee, Isabelle, Ben, Avynlea

This was the only picture I was able to get of the kids before my camera died =( But that's okay, it made it so I could keep my hands toasty warm in my pocket!

We came home and had hot chocolate and oreos!

So much fun!

Isabelle Gets Baptized, December 3, 2011

Well, it finally happened. My little girl got baptized. She had some immensely proud parents that day. When I met her as she was standing dripping wet, I wrapped her up in her towel and kissed her. I told her I was so proud of her. It was a burst your buttons kind of proud moment. One that I will never forget. She just glowed. She was as pure as the very day she was born.

She was able to wear the dress that I was baptized in. It was a special addition to this incredible day!

Isabelle and her friend Adrea Moon were baptized the same day.

They were so excited to be there together.

Just before the big event!
Before the baptism we gathered as a family and had a luncheon. It was so fun! Soups and rolls were the fare for the day. My Mom also brought candy, which was a big hit with everyone!
And of course I had to get a picture with everyone there!

Uncle Peter, Aunt Jill, Ashton, Aunara, Ayrith Eden

Uncle Jotham, Aunt Jamie, Hyrum, Hannah, Hollie, Mark, Gavin

Uncle Jami, Aunt Tawnya

Uncle Andrew

Me & my girl!

The proud Papa!

My eternal family.

Isabelle & Benjamin

Uncle Jordan, Maddie (we missed Aunt Abby, Ava & Hazel Mae! They were sick.)

Grandma Jo & Granddad Robertson

Grandma Bonnie

Aunt Elizabeth, Rylee, Avynlea

After the baptism we had yummy chocolate cake and visited with our loved ones some more.

Lyndsey Rector, she is my amazing friend who made Isabelle's dress for after her baptism.

Aunt Beth, Uncle Philip (Uncle Philip had to work, but came afterwards.)

Isabelle had to have her confirmation done again, because Matt forgot to say using the Melchizedek Priesthood. But it was good, because then Philip got to join in the circle. The blessing was beautiful!

Grandma bonnie gave Isabelle this beautiful picture to remember her baptism always.

Aunt Elizabeth made her the scripture bag. You can see it hanging off Isabelle's arm. It was so cute!

Isabelle with her cousin Hannah.

The Hatch's gave Isabelle a beautiful butterfly CTR necklace. It was very sweet of them and she loves it.

It was an amazing day.

It was so great to have our family there supporting us! and also those who couldn't make it, we still felt of their love as well. I'm so grateful for our family and the love and support that they always give us! Thank you for being there!

The Forgotten Carols

When I was growing up we would read "The Forgotten Carols" by Michael McLean every year at Christmas. I loved them! I knew all of the songs by heart. It's kind of a long story, but when my Mom would want to stop we would beg for just one chapter more.

This year they were performing "The Forgotten Carols" here in Ogden and my Mom and Elizabeth would be here for Isabelle's baptism. So this was my Mom's Christmas present this year. It was AMAZING!!!!

If you ever get the chance you must go!

Here we are waiting for the show to start!

Afterwards we got to meet Michael McLean and his wife Lynne.

The whole cast signed our CD's and t-shirts.

It was one truly amazing night that I will never forget!
