I found some old pictures on my camera from the summer and they were too cute not to post! little Hudson I think he is 2 mo old.

The girls posing for a picture they set up.

We got ready for Christmas a long time ago but because my Internet has been so stupid lately I am just getting up this HUGE post!

For thanksgiving we went to my mom's house in Arizona it was so much fun we love going down there to get away from the cold and getting to spend time with them and my sister! We drove down on Tuesday we left early before the blizzard hit. The kids were pretty good. We stayed in Vegas over night and the girls thought it was the greatest thing ever to get to spend the night in the hotel room. we defiantly need to do that more often!


While we were down there we mostly shopped and we also played games and had a water fight! We also went to the aquarium in the outlet mall we loved it, we have kind of become obsessed with salt water fish lately. It was small but had lots of cool stuff. The girls loved this, it was an image on the floor and when you stepped on it the picture would ripple like you were stepping in real water it was fun to watch them go crazy over it. All these pics of the aquarium were taken with a phone so they aren't too great.


Josh and Cheyane

Hudson looking at the sharks






One of my favorite things we did was a water fight it was just the kids then I joined in to help get revenge on Gavin, he was much better than everyone else.


The girls love their grandma so much and they loved helping her cook and play with her.

Paris and Hudson they are the newest additions Paris is 2 months older but Hudson is way bigger than her.

Cheyane not wanting to let grandma go the morning we were leaving.

Funny story about grandma and Cheyane mom will probably get mad at me for sharing this but it was funny Mom was watching the kids so josh and I could go on a date she was giving the girls a bath and she took cheyane out and drying her feet i guess cheyane lost her balance and hit her mouth on the tub she got a good cut, bump and bruise. mom said she was so brave. Poor mom she said it was a terrible night. Now she has a tiny scar below her lip but it matches well with the one on her forehead! ha ha

But we can't forget how much the girls love grandpa too! They are so great and love them so much and it is great to get to see them sometimes. Remi had her winter dance recital She did so good we had some people say how well she did. Grandma Shirley came to watch and missed Remi dancing she didn't notice she was up there and had to watch her video, silly grandma.






For some reason the girls love their pictures taken in their hats. The first snow the girls were outside running around saying its raining its raining i would try to tell them it was not rain it was snow. I think they really liked trying to get a rise out of me.

The girls have been watching ruby and max and on the show max is obsessed with these fake teeth so the girls had to get some of their own they think they are pretty funny!


Remi's birthday was wed the 15Th she turned 4! I can't believe how big she is getting! In the morning the girls played with grandma nae while i went to an appointment then we went to the fun park and the girls just tried to play the arcade games and win prizes. Then we came home and made cupcakes.

Remi got to open grandma Barretts present which was money so we then went shopping so she could buy whatever she wanted with it. she ended up buying some little pet shops and then she bought a barbie for her and she also bought one for Cheyane!

Then we went to Chillis (remi's choice) I asked her why she wanted to go there and she said that was the only place she knew ha ha ha. They came and sang to her and brought a chocolate shake she was so happy she loved being the center of attention for a day.


Then we came home and let her open her presents from us she got a easy bake oven and a talking baby from cheyane (that cheyane has claimed)


On sat the 18Th we had her birthday party. she had a few friends and family come. We decided to try a treasure hunt and I think it turned out great,

the end of the treasure hunt came to her pinata and they all got to take a whack at it, as always someone had to rip it to get it open.




Then there was presents of course

and her barbie cake



But my all time favorite part was watching the kids have a balloon fight with our bishop.


Josh has been working really hard on our house he has lost almost 40 lbs he works 12 hours a day almost 6 days a week I am so proud of him! Thanks for all your hard work!

We attempted to make a gingerbread house. next time I am going to hot glue the house together then let them decorate it, because it always seems to fall apart.
