Christmas vacation

We had such a great December. It was majorly crazy but it was great, and we survived! We barely got all moved into our new place, and then busted it home on Christmas Eve. And I am so glad we made it, because it was so fun. We first went to Ryes moms and dads to open some presents, then headed over to the woods party, which is always so fun! and then headed over to my grandma Rhodes for my favorite tradition, oyster stew, then stopped by my grandma moyles! We are on the ball, haha! it was a very fun, but long night. Christmas was great tho. Holden gets funner every year, we are so exited for next year when he will be even funner and we will have a almost one year old again. We spent that night with rye's mom and dad, and Holden and Russ danced all night! it was so cute! The Whole holiday was so nice. We were able to go to the temple with my whole family, a few movies, the usual outdoor activities, shop, snowboarding ( not me tho =( ) visit, and lots more. New years was also a lot of fun. Holden had so much fun. and was sooooooo spoiled. Not very many kids have six grandmas that totally adore them! and cousins that are all only months apart. He loves them all so much, I am sure if any of you saw him you were greeted with mounds of kisses! We hope you all had a great holiday!

I didnt have my camera, so wasn't able to take very many pictures on Christmas or the whole trip, luckily Sam had some of him on Christmas. He started in his pj's and then had a peepee accident after he opened his stocking! He was so exited with all his presents, he was shaking! it was funny!

Daddy took hoge to my farm to let him ride some tractors (he is obsessed) he love it! and he also got to ride his four wheeler he got for Christmas. he loved the buffalo, or as he called them the "baby puppies." It is fun taking your babies places you grew up.

My mom took us all to kangaroo jacks! that place is fun! But as you can see it took the babies a while to warm up to it! They were so funny! they all just cried and cried at first! But then they had a blast.

We went and saw avatar (3d) and Holden and Bentley wore those glasses for hours! they looked so funny! Holden kept doing this old man look and saying "Hewo"

Choo-Choo TRAIN!

We had so much fun going home for thanksgiving! We had the best Thanksgiving dinner ever with Ryes family. I ate like a pig. We did a few family things with my family to. But the highlight of the trip was going to Rainbow Canyon Nevada and doing my favorite thing, Breakfast at Ryes and my favorite little diner and then heading up the canyon (which is beautiful) to watch the trains. And if anybody knows my child, they will know, he is crazy obsessed with Choo-choo trains! So, my family made a special trip there just for Holden to see a real choochoo. He loved it. I love just simple little family trips like these. I cant wait until we can always be near our families. We just love them all!Holden and Bentley were so cute, they really have quite the love hate relationship tho, they are either making out (literally) or punching each other! Holden had a blast smashing coins on the tracks!

Family in New Mexico!

So, We were finally able to get my family to come and visit! and we had so much fun. Jack and Erin were blessing their baby, so most all of my family came down to visit. My sisters came down with their kids on Friday, and they wanted to take them to the zoo, so we all had a sibling bonding trip and headed to Albuquerque, it was a blast! My parents got here that night. The blessing went wonderful. It was fun to have a huge luncheon with family. That night my parents invited us all over to their hotel room, they had a HUGE SWEET! (which was bigger then any of our homes!) and we had takeout and played cards all night. Monday we had a picnic at my favorite park, and did some shopping, and then left the kids with Darbye, and headed to Durango Colorado. We wondered down town durango trying to find the perfect place to eat, and then just had a great, LOUD, dinner together! Holden was in absolute heaven having so many friends. I absolutely love and miss my family! Thanks for coming!

California Trip!

Rye and I had such a fun trip to California. We started in San Diego and everyday just went higher and higher up the state it was a fun trip! We spent so much time on the beach, just relaxing. We did some major shopping and touristy things, and went to the San Diego temple! But boy did I miss my baby!!! We have never been away from him for longer than a few hours. I thought I handled it pretty well tho, because the first time we left him with a sitter I burst into tears. I was so glad to see him. But we had a total blast, It was like being newly weds again!

Randan and Mckenzie met us at the Temple and we all went, it was so beautiful! They took us out to eat and then took us to an amazing beach with insane waves! I don't think Mckenzie and I ever made it out all the way, with out being thrown back to the sand! Thanks guys! ( and sorry about the movie! ha ha!)

Road trip

We had such a fun trip to Salt Lake(totally spur of the moment)! Uncle Lamond called us and insisted we go straight to their BEAUTIFUL home in Mapleton and spend the night! We were so thankful, and Their sons farewell was Sunday, we were exited we would be there for that. Friday we shopped!!! I miss good malls so much, I stalked up on Charlotte Russe and Aero sweaters, ha ha! Then we went to seven peaks, fun!!. We found out that my grandma, aunt Darcey, favorite little cousin, and my LITTLE SISTER were staying by Temple square for a scentsy convention! So, we saw them and dropped Hoggie off with them so we could go do a session!!! I Love that temple!!! I have a lot of family history with that beautiful temple. I am so thankful for the opportunity to go!!!! Then Rye's mom and dad and all the wood's came up Saturday night for that Sunday! We all went out to eat and swam and talked. I absolutely love them all! It was such a fun little spontaneous trip.

these are some random pictures of life lately!

Holden worships uncle jack! -- You Will never see this boy without a football and a truck! He is the only 1 year old I know that can catch a football from 10 feet away! --and Then yet another fun date with our home dogs! Is she not the cutest prego girl!

24th in Enterprise

E love the 24th!!!

We were so lucky to be able to go home for the 24th. It is my favorite holiday. Rye, Erin, and I left Wednesday night after Young Women's, so we didn't get home until 6 a.m. Rye slept for two hours and then headed to California to try and get some things done, and check the area out. I stayed because we were throwing a baby shower for Erin on sat. But I had soooo much fun with the fam!!! The run, parade, races, rodeo, fireworks, it's all so fun. We all ran in the fun run, which I Love every year. I am so proud of my sister to! I felt good but the elevation change made it hard to breath!

Enterprise just goes all out!!!!!! Holden did way good at the race, he just kinda walked! I Love visiting family and Friends when we go home! Thanks guys!

I posted a ton of pictures!!!

The cool ones in my family that ran the fun run! (dont ask what we are doing) Which I took 2nd!!!! Lost to the best runner I know Sharla Platt!!! I didn't stand a chance ha ha! And the worst part was I ran with my little bros, and they looked like idiots! --- The family at the parade
