Beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 2015



My amazing nursing school friend Cambria headed through Cardston to Edmonton to purchase a 12 passenger van and stayed with us on the way up and back. She and her sister in law traveled 15 hours with 6 children 8 and under! This is her with her adorable full head of hair 6th child. Plus she just graduated with her Masters in Nursing. SHE IS AMAZING! Oh yeah, And super patient. I NEVER heard her yell or get frustrated with her kids. Super chill! How does she do it?


The kids are really into Big Hero Six. 3.5 year old Addie drew this Baymax. It was adorable how Kara was so proud of her and wrote this so we all knew how amazing Addie was that she could draw Baymax! It was pretty good!

November 18 was our first real snow that stuck. Pretty good start to winter. Late enough for me.

Bundled babies are adorable.

Brother time! Zachy loves his Everett.
I did this to him. :( I was pulling him in one of those sleds and he wriggled and rolled out. The road had lots of ice on it from the snow melting and refreezing over and over. I'm so sorry buddy. Big gash, scrapes, and a fat lip. 
Singing praises of my angel neighbor Ken Peterson again! Justin pulled a muscle in his back and was trying to heal for the Alumni tourney that weekend. We had a lot of heavy snow so me being the amazing woman I am went out and began shoveling. It was heavy and there was A LOT so I was singing praises when I heard Ken start up his snowblower and save the day! I guess good things can come from winter and snow!
Busted!!! "You think that looks pretty?" "Yeah!" Brown eyeliner everywhere!? Upon further inquiry I discovered she was trying to paint her skin brown because she wants brown skin!!!
This little Miss got her hair bobbed again and I just swoon over it! It is such a cute cut on her!

And I just love watching these two starting to play together. They are adorable buddies! It is fun that Everett is getting older and playing with his siblings.

It is NOT fun however that he is more mobile now and "helps" me by relocating laundry! Took them pair by pair as I folded and tossed them into the tub...then he turn the water on! Whoops! Should have nipped that in the bud sooner.
The next generation of Low card players! Love our cousin time!

These two crazies. Nice selfie.


Sweet Santa note. We will see what we can do Zach! 
Ever since i was young I wanted red and white lights on my house...well, I couldn't find them anywhere, so I'm finally making it happen! Bought a bunch of red and a bunch of white lights and swapped half out to make my dream come true! YAY!!!
Love me some berry decorations. My mama gave them to me.
Everett meets the Big Man and isn't so sure about him. :) 
Us in front of the lights at our community Tree Lighting.


Everett's face when you put on his favorite E-I-E-I-O movie. Loves it!!!

Addie sharing her first of many smoothies I'm sure. ;) Neighbor boy Harrison.

Santa Baby...hurry down the chimney tonight! He comes running when I have my Christmas socks and makeshift morning skirt on. Hot mama.

Getting into EVERYTHING! Nice ornaments are half up the tree.

 My not so tiny dancers. :) They are just a little taller than a lot of the girls their age. 8 months older than some too, but yeah they say they feel like giants at dance! Maybe it's time to play some basketball or volleyball!

Love Kate's expression here..

...And Kara's concentrated face here!

Little munch face! She a cutie.

Sometimes I put the ipad in his crib as a baby monitor. It's pretty cute to watch him sleep and see him wake up.

Fun game of Santa's sled around the island!

Cute Santa and his elf and reindeer. 
I love this picture. My kids are getting old.


Gingerbread house making with Uncle Kyle! He is leaving us soon to go back to Calgary!

First ice fishing haul of the season!



My Christmas Angel.

Everett was tired I guess. Definitely not in the mood for pictures!

Way too cute.

We had to have an early Christmas morning since we were flying to California for Christmas and couldn't bring the big stuff.

Scooters, a roller coaster, and a plasma car!
