Roomie's Birthday...

We celebrated Kristin's Birthday on Saturday night at our house with the friends. Then since all three of us had time off, we decided to go to Vegas and play as well. I went down on Sunday and visited my awesome cousins! I had a blast just hanging out and doing a little shopping-- love you guys! Then my roomies came down on Monday and we went to Cheesecake factory, we rode 2 roller coasters, and just enjoyed each others craziness! I love having awesome roommates and friends. Here are a few pics of our lovely adventure:

Christmas 2009

I just LOVE Christmas Time! This month has flown by fast, but I love the spirit of Christmas the fact that we get to remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. We had a great Christmas with the family this year. Here are a few pictures to enjoy! We made sugar cookies one night with the grand-kids!

Paige and Ethan were being so fun on Christmas Eve.

Nice Santa Hat Ethan! Paige was calling him "Santa Baby"

Christmas Morning: Jeff & Lexie, Julie & Kaulin

Our Sweet Princess- she loved the princess dress... all day :)

Come What May...

And Love it... That was a phrase they had on the cute wall Ashley and her sisters made in rememberance of Robert's Life. Robert passed away on December 13, 2009 from leukemia. He was married to my cousin Ashley. These two were great examples of FAITH and LOVE. They truly loved each other and everyone around them. I am so grateful that they are family and can show me how to be more like Christ. We attended Roberts Funeral on December 19, 2009. It was an amazingly spiritual day. Everyone who spoke reminded us of Roberts great loves, and one of those is his Savior. I am so grateful for the knowledge of eternal families. I know he is with our Heavenly Father now and Ashley will get to be with him again because of the priesthood sealing power of the temple. Families Can Be Together Forever. We love you Robert and Ashley! :) If you want know more about Roberts and Ashleys Adventure check out their blog: http://adventuresofrobdobandashpants.blogspot.com/
