Christmas Morning!

Holy Cow! The boys were beyond excited about getting

a Wii for Christmas! I'm sure I will have a cleaner house for a little

while, thanks to the boys never leaving the TV!

3 THINGS I'M GOOD AT...

Video GAMES, Watching TV, Annoying my SISTER!

Talon to a T!

Emilie is so happy Santa brought her the Barbie house

she asked for!

Getting Crazy with the Hyer's

Grandpa Hyer pierced Brinley's ears for Christmas.

He said since she doesn't have much hair he needed to make

her look more like a girl.

What a dork!

Cousins modeling their new robes from Grandma.

YES! Lets Eat! Our favorite place to hand out!

Our Nativity. The kids were so cute, I especially loved the sheep and angles.

My big brother Darren. This look is pretty typical for him.

No game playing is complete without him!

Having fun with the Collins family

Porter and his cousin Josh sledding.
Libby, Mary, Emilie, Savannah, and Bonnie singing Christmas songs for us.

They were adorable!

It is so fun to get together with family!

We were just getting ready to open presents!

Ward Christmas Party

Hopefully they were good enough to get all they asked for:)!

Oh Christmas Tree!

We decided that it would be a fun family home evening activity to go find ourselves a Christmas tree. By the time Jeff got home from work it was already dark. Because my kids think flashlights are toys, we were going off the sparse moon light. When we thought we found the "perfect tree" Jeff would turn on our dying flashlight to do a quick inspection. After much failure, Talon finally found our "perfect tree". It was crazy getting it down the mountain and onto our car, but it was fun for all of us.
Our tree is about 11 feet tall. It barely fit in our living room after we cut 2' from the top and bottom! We love it!

Brinley's third word, "kitty"!

If ever Brin is crying or bored, all I have to do is put her outside with the "ke kitty" and she is all smiles!!

The Well's Family

I am adding these pictures for all of you that have wanted to see the pictures I took of Jen and her family a couple weeks ago. I had a blast working with them. These two really are in love THAT much!!!

Shey was baptized last month.

Halloween!!!

Ooh, how scary! Talon, aka death, thought that it might be fun to follow Caden the vampire so he could collect his victims. Emmie ran from them all night and was able to hold them off with her martial art skills. Porter the crocodile was able to hold his own. As for Brin she turned them into frogs by the end of the night!!

Aren't they cute

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!

My Beautiful Sister and Family

Thanks for letting me take your pictures. You guys look great! Malia, Mike(Malia's hubby), Aaron, Nick, Leilani and Greg.

I love our sunsets and babies!

I took one look at the sunset and knew I had to get a picture, unfortunately it took me a few minutes to locate my camera and get outside. By that time the sunset wasn't nearly as stunning, but with Brinley in the picture it was saved. What a doll!

Emilie Donates Her Hair to Locks of Love!

Long hair or short hair, Emmie is still beautiful! Not many five year old girls can say that they have given up their hair for Locks for Love!
She has been so cute and bubbly since cutting off her hair. She loves it!

Especially now that she won't have any more tangles!!!

Moose anyone?

We were lucky enough to be able to go camping with Grandpa and Grandpa Collins, the Leavitt Family, and the Moose family. Here Porter is posing by the smallest of the three that visited our camp.
These other two walked right past our tents (in the background). Emilie and Porter watching the moose with their cousins Calub and Josh.
Brinley with Josh and Caden. They were great campers.

First Day of School

Cade and Talon with their best friend Maria. Just last week Caden was voted Student body Vice President and Talon is on the Student Council . Great Job Boys!
Emmie is Loving Kindergarten and her new teacher Mrs. Lewis.

Canoeing into the sunset

Mom and Dad Collins; Steph, Russ, Alex, Brant, Cameron, and Savannah; and Russ and Raquel came up to visit us for the weekend. We had a blast riding the 4 wheelers and dirt bikes, but gliding off into the sunset was wonderful.

The Bear River. Walking dissidence from our home.

What fun weekend!

Steph and Russ were good sports to let me take a picture of their dirty faces. Unfortunately I took the picture after they wiped a good amount off.
Russ and Raquel. This was Raquel's first time riding a dirt bike. We took her on an incredibly technical ride. She did awsome!!!
That's it I am never wearing that shirt again!!! No I'm not prego again!

Rock'n Roll with Bear River Vision

We loved being in our first parade. The theme was "Rock'n Roll" so we dressed it up with poodle skirts and rolled up cuffs. To top off the look we added the bouncy eye balls that we threw out to the crowd.
Don't we look cute? It is a good thing that I have lost 5 lbs since then. I wish that cameras were a little less truthful, I didn't feel that fat that day!
Emmie loved her poodle skirt. I had to force it off of her!

It was love at first sight. One look at that mini motorcycle and Jeff had to take it on a ride. Good thing he had that leather jacket in the van. What a STUD!!

Fun playing with my Photoshop!

Happy Anniversary Travis and Kathlene. You guys are the BEST!
Kathlene and I have been friends for 7 years. I feel like we have been friends forever. She is everything that a true friend is. I Love this beautiful girl!
