Birthday Girl!!

Brooke is 2!!! I can't believe how quickly time has passed. She has been so much fun for our family. Up until a few months ago she loved cars, bugs, and legos. Over the last month or so she has turned into a complete girl. She was so excited about her little dolls and their little clothes and furniture. We love her so much!



Airports, Airports, and more Airports!

We made it home for Christmas!!! It took 19 hours and 4 airports, but we finally made it. Flying standby is a little tricking during the Holidays, but the kids handled it better than planned and we managed to get to Utah and back for a great Christmas. Dallin kept asking, "Is this the plane that is taking us to Grandma's or is there still 1 more?" We were so happy to get to Salt Lake!!

Tons of Snow!

The snow and cold was a big change for us! Luckily we have great family and we were able to borrow enough snow gear to go sledding with the family. It was so much fun. I was really surprised how shocked the kids were by the cold, but also by how much they loved it!




Chisholm Cousins

Dallin and Brooke had so much fun with the Chisholm cousins. I am so thankful that we were able to spend so much time with them this winter. Dallin & Brooke have been talking about their aunts, uncles, and cousins ever since we have been back in Florida. They were pretty much stuck to Taylor and McKenzie the entire trip. They had a blast, and it really helped me get a good break!! Thank goodness for family!!




Dester Family

We were able to go to Provo to see my Grandma and Gramdpa Dester. It was so fun to see my cousins, aunts and uncles, and all the new little ones. I am so thankful for the time that we were able to spend with my grandparents.






Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, my Grandma and Grandpa Prue were so nice and drove up to Bountiful for a late lunch. It was so great to see them and we are so thankful that they were willing to come and see us. Julie and I were able to put out kids down for their naps and the adults were able to enjoy a nice quiet meal!!

More Christmas Eve...

It was so good to have my Dad home the night of Christmas Eve. He had been really busy at work and unable to take any time off. On Christmas Eve, he summarized Luke 2 and spent lots of time with us and the kids. It was tons of fun and a great memory for us all.
