Krue and Axzelle

My Mom and I got to spend almost a week with the kids while Matt and Madison went on a business trip. It was so much fun to get to spend so much time with them! They are seriously the best and cutest kids ever!

These are some pictures they had taken after Axzelle was born
Love them!





These are some pictures I took during our time with them!
Sorry, I just can't get enough of them!











  Our last night there Matt and Maddie took us bowling and to dinner



Casey's Birthday is this weekend, but once again he will not be in town for it.
He is turning 30 on the 4th, so we celebrated a little early before he left.
He hasn't been home for his birthday since he was 19 so it was good to celebrate with him!




Sorry not a lot of words, mainly just pictures. I wish I had time to sit down and write more, but
life has been so busy lately. I have been really busy at the salon, which I love so I can't complain but a vacation is sounding really nice right now... hmm...hopefully soon?! 

Monday

Tis the Season

I have lots of catching up to do and an overload of pictures so here is a quick recap on our holidays!

Chad's parents were able to come to Saint George the weekend before Christmas, Casey also came home this weekend from Kosovo. He has been gone the last year, and we are so happy to have him home!

This picture is taken out at Tuacahn with Chad's parents. 
They took us to a holiday concert after dinner at Olive Garden.



Staheli annual Christmas party and Kress and Lynette's
They have us over each Christmas to make gingerbread houses.
Don't you love Chad's beard?!








We went up north this year for Christmas to spend it with Chad's parents.

We got up early and went to Madison's so we could watch the kids open presents.


 

 


We came home the day after Christmas and opened our presents to each other.
Chad got me a new camera!! I got him some tool stuff and clothes!



Christmas at my dad's house




Christmas at my Mom's house
I just have to add what an amazing person my mom is! I look up to her so much and her example! 
On Christmas she spent it at the care center and visited the ladies that didn't have family come see them, and did there hair for them. This is just one example of what an amazing person she is! 
I love you mom!

Dinner at Sakura with the family



Lunch at Chili's on New Years Eve

 Madison made us dinner and we played the wii at my moms house on New Year's Eve







New Year's Day my grandma had us all over for dinner

We got spoiled by everyone this year, and loved spending so much time with our families! 
We couldn't have better friends and families! We are so lucky for all of them!
Hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

This past week the weather has been so nice so we got some lunch and went to the park


We also got to go see a couple of Dylan's Basketball games
This picture he made a steal and went down and made the 3 point in the following shot.




After one of his games we went to Denny's for dinner


Sorry for a million pictures, but it's just easier for me to catch up all at once!
Madison and the kids went back home, but we sure enjoyed having them here!
Also I just want to add how proud I am of Chad for graduating with his Bachelor's this past semester. 
I know it was a lot of work, and I am so proud of you babe! On to your Masters! :)
