Today was Hannah's "Special Day" at school. Hannah was very excited that Kevin and I could both go to school with her! Tana is Hannah's teacher and she is so good with the kids and Hannah loves her!

Hailey getting to have snack with the big kids!

My mom and I took the girls to Disney on Ice and to the Draper Temple open house. The girls were pretty amazed with the Temple. Hannah calls it the sparkly Temple. Hailey just wanted to know what room Jesus sleeps in.

I have not updated for two months so here is two months in a nutshell! Thanks Melissa for all your help!


Happy Birthday Hannah! Hannah turned 5 years old on February 9th. Where has the time gone? We are very blessed to have Hannah she is a great big sister and a huge help around the house. Hannah loves going to preschool and dancing. Hannah wanted a tinkerbell birthday party this year so my mom made her cake it was so cute and Hannah was all smiles. Thanks to everyone who came and made her birthday special!

One last get together before Mike and Kylie go back! Goodbye's never get easier!

Happy Birthday Kevin and Lex!

A little slow but here is Christmas 2008.

We have waited almost 2 years for this!! Mike and Kylie came home tonight. The day started out with Hailey running out of the bedroom shouting "MIKE AND KYLIE COME HOME TODAY!!" Then Hannah came up and together they jumped around. I have to admit I wanted to jump around too, but I knew we had a long day ahead of us! When I got home from work the girls and Kevin helped me make a welcome home sign. Hannah and Hailey loved making the sign and the anticipation built up even more(if that was possible). These pictures are a little out of order sorry.

Hannah running to give Mike a big hug!

The girls decided they wanted to hide behind the corner so they could jump out and surprise them.
Hailey was a little unsure about the whole thing when it came right down to it. When they opened the door she hide behind me! Don't worry it didn't take long for her to warm up!

The girls getting on the necklaces that Mike and Kylie gave them.

Hannah did not quit smiling she was very excited to have them back. Everyone was fighting back the tears when Hannah ran to Mike and gave him a great big hug... it was PRICELESS!! Mike and Kylie we are so glad to have you home! You were greatly missed and have made this Christmas Season a special one already! We love you!

I thought I would try and get a picture of the girls by the tree. Hannah was not a fan of the idea she had other thing to do! We are down to only 4 days until Mike and Kylie come home, and my girls are excited! They have not seen them for almost 2 years. Hannah had just turned 3 when they moved and Hailey was almost 2. They grew very close to them when they lived with my parents for a few months before they left for Australia. We had many nights that Hannah would cry to us because she missed them so much. We are very excited to have them home for Christmas!! We are not looking forward to saying goodbye again!!

Last night Kevin and I went to the Jazz game. Even though they lost in the last second of the game it was fun! A night away without kids is always needed thanks mom and dad for taking the girls so we could go!

The dang thing would not hold still sorry that it is blurry

Williams and Korver taking the night off! What is up with that!

We had a CRAZY but FUN Saturday! It started by us going to my brothers house to meet them so we could go to Disney on Ice! We had a while before it started so we decided to go to the Gateway to do a little shopping. After we froze at the Gateway it was time to head to the show. This is the gang waiting for the show to start.(Kevin is not high, just looks like it)


The girls always have so much fun with my brother and his family. Thanks guys for going with us! As always it was a great time! Here are just a few pictures of the show. I will not bore you with all of them!


After the Ice show we headed to Kevin's sisters house in Layton. It is our nephew Alex's birthday on the 18th we celebrated a little early but I am sure he doesn't mind!

The girls were having so much fun playing with cousins!

We also attended a Musical Review of A Night Of Broadway put on by the Layton West Stake. Kevin's nieces were in this and it was great! Emily and Natalie were in Annie. I think they are the cutest orphans I have ever seen! Hannah and Hailey were so excited to see them perform.
So that was our Saturday! The girls were very excited to see everyone and spend a little time with cousins. It was a crazy day but as you can see well worth it!

For all of you who know my husband Kevin don't tell him about this picture because he would KILL me!! I was in on the computer doing some primary stuff tonight and I think I took a little to long... what do you think? I guess the good thing is everyone was asleep before 9:30!(and now I have a quiet house!)
