Need I say more.....

So when Tim was in California a few months ago for business, they went to Disneyland. So when he got back.... this was his purchase. My sister and I both thought he got the shirt in Disneyland, but he actually purchased it at a Target out there. He and one of the other guys he was with thought it was hilarious, and so they both purchased the shirt. I must admit it does make me laugh whenever he wears it!

A fun week of Christmas parties.....

On the 29th it was my brother-in-law Brett's birthday, and so we met them up at the Temple to go and see the lights. It was a great night to go.... not too crowded or too cold. The lights were so pretty. I feel bad because my mom was with us but we never got a big group shot with everyone (sorry mom.) After we were done checking out the lights we went and got some dessert. I love spending time with family! I didn't take any photos, but for New Year's Eve we spent the evening with some of our neighbors and had a great time! I hope everyone had a great New Year's. I think 2009 is going to be a great year!!!

Since my mom was out of town for Christmas, helping my brother and his wife who just had a baby. We spent the 27th with her and Tom. It is also my nephew's birthday, and so we all went bowling and then came back to my moms to open up gifts. The girls LOVE playing with these cousins because they are so close in age. We had fun all hanging out at my moms together!

After we got all showered up it was off to my dad and Kathy's house for breakfast. Where the girls got to open a few more gifts. Kathy is a great artist and drew the pictures you see on the girls pillow cases by hand. I was pretty impressed! The girls thought that was so cool.

On Christmas morning we all woke up and opened presents as a family. The girls didn't wake up until 8:30, but Tim was so tired that they let him sleep until 9:00 before we started opening up any gifts. What nice kids to let their dad sleep in a little bit longer! The best thing of all for me was to wake up on Christmas morning and find it snowing! All I ever want is to wake up on Christmas and have a "white christmas," it just makes me feel more in the spirit. Kaitlyn was in love with her baby doll that she got from Santa, and Makayla was loving her Barbie doll.

Every year we spend Christmas Eve with Tim's family, and boy did the girls get spoiled! They were having so much fun with all of the cousins there and then they had a blast opening up all of their gifts. We appreciate all the hard work and shopping that went into the event. It was a fun night of singing, eating and enjoying everyones company!

The ultrasound results are in.....

We are having another baby Girl! We are both really excited to have another baby, and since we know girls even better! She is healthy and everything looked great. Just thought we would share the exciting news.

4 couples in Maui + no kids = Lots of Fun!!!!!

We flew out last Wednesday to Maui with 3 other couples, who helped Tim coach 8th grade football this year. We stayed at the Grand Wailea Hotel, and it was gorgeous! We spent 7 days in Hawaii.

This is the view from the breakfast buffet, the hotel has these amazing pools and sits right on the beach.

We took a nice drive around the Island. We found this cool spot to take a hike, it was tucked back in this little valley. It was just so beautiful and green.

Then we decided to go check out this blowhole that we found on the map. The road was kind of crazy and only consisted of one lane for part of the time. We had to hike down a little ways to get close to the blowhole, but it was really fun to see. The boys found all of these huge crabs on the cliffs, so they were quite entertained by those as well.

On Sunday 4 of us took a helicopter ride around the Island. The scenery was so amazing from the air, and it was a great way to see the 7 sacred pools in Hana instead of driving on the road (which did not look like fun even from the air.) The Island had some many waterfalls to see. This was definitly one of the best highlights from our trip.

We spent many days in this pool..... It consisted of a rope swing, lazy river, 3 waterslides, 3 hot tubs. All spread out across a huge area, one of the slides took you down little slides and then into small pools all the way to the bottom ( so probably 4 small slides in all!)

We took a walk before dinner the last night there and got a sweet shot of the sunset!

On Monday morning we flew over to Honolulu to spend a day there. We went and saw Pearl Harbor, the Dole Pineapple Plantation, North Shore, and then the Temple. We then took off to the south end of the Island did a little shopping, grabbed some dinner and headed to the airport.

Here is a picture of the group of people who went with us. We had so much fun together and are glad that everyone could make the trip! We had a wonderful time and would love to go back in the future.

Another year... and a new season begins.. Go Jazz!!!

This flag was huge that they brought out for the National Anthem. It was very impressive to see the soliders standing there holding it (all of them have served in Iraq.) It's great to have that reminder at the beginning of the game of how lucky and blessed we all are to be living in America!

Now the blackout light effect that they brought in this year, was money well spent. You can't see it as well in the picture but they gave everyone glow sticks when you walked in the doors, so you could see everyone waiving their glow sticks through the whole introduction. It's always fun to hear how loud it gets in the arena! What a great way to start off a new season.

I think that going to these games has become a new love for Tim and I. We will probably be attending all of the games this year..... expect that I'm due during the playoffs..... so we might miss a few there. Anyways, I'm glad that they got their first win last night (even without Deron Williams playing because of his injured ankle) It would be awesome if they went all the way this year.... Go Jazz!!

Our weekend in San Diego.....

On Saturday we went to the Blue Angels air show and it was amazing! We put ear plugs in the girls ears because it was so loud, but they did great. They loved all the planes they got to see. This was our first time going and it was well worth it. They had this one jet that could lift right off the ground (like a helicopter), that was incredibly to see. They also did a special tribute flight for those serving over in Iraq. My heart really went out to those who have loved ones over there protecting our freedoms over here. What an amazing group of people who are so willing to serve! Thank you to all of them. By the way there is a better picture of the air show at the bottom.

On Monday we took the girls to SeaWorld for the day. They loved everything about it! The shows were so good and kept the girls entertained...... The only bad part about it was that I broke my camera. So I got some pictures of the animals we saw, but it broke before we went to the Shamu show so I don't have any pictures of that.... which is a bummer. I would have to say that the Shamu show was my favorite, and we even got a little wet when he flipped his tail (Makayla didn't like that very much.) When Shamu first came out Kaitlyn looked at me and with big eyes said, "Big fish." Ya he is HUGE.

All in all we had a great time in San Diego. We flew in on Friday night and came home on Tuesday. Sunday we spent the day watching conference with Tim's parents, and his sister and her husband and little boy (who live out there) It was great spending time with Nic, Jess and Grant! We also got to see Tim's cousin... Jen her husband Brent and their little guy Isaac. They were at the air show with us. Good luck Jen with your c-section in a few days. I'm sure it will go well and that baby Connor will get here safe and sound. We look forward to seeing all of you over Thanksgiving.
