School back in, now I can blog!

Oh what fun it was to go to Arizona for Christmas with our families! Non stop entertainment and love. We took off on December 18th and drove home (in a new minivan. whoop whoop) on December 28th. Not long enough but I'm thankful we could go. This is JOY!!!!
so we are going to take this story backwards, starting with New years and then to Christmas in AZ. just don't want to switch them around.
New years our silly friends, Chappell's, Westwood's and Morrisons.
Brielle is my Joshua lover!

The girls had a great time building Frosty last week. He melted the next day. :(

The girls went to timeout for fighting and an hour later they invited me into their room for a hot chocolate party and asked forgiveness. :)

We went with our Goodman gang to my brother in laws cabin in Pinetop. LOTS OF SNOW and so much fun, playing games and sledding, even on our homemade sled/ chair. Jason took the kids as many that could fit or jump on on a ride.

We love makin' snow angels, or Noah's case Snow devils, ha ha.

This was such a blast, my bro was pulling the homemade sled.

My Noah can't get away from his swords even in the snow!

My amazing and talented sister Evonne made all of these aprons for us for Christmas. So flippin cute. My amazing and talented sis Hillary also gave us an adorable vintage apron. They will get good use, just need to learn how to bake now. THANK YOU!!

Papa Jack

We had a night of singing Christmas carols, so fun!

Even my Grandma's got in on it! They are so wonderful

This is what we see for 10 hrs. , okay maybe not 10 hrs. but all through New Mexico to AZ border! happy drive.

Blah, Blah, Blog!

Sorry, just plain laziness for not updating my blog more. Here are a few of the fun things happening over here in our world of Clovis, NM


We love our little neighbor. He loves to come over and play with the kids after school and one day I went outside and Noah was trying to hand him some toys across the fence. Noah loves Aidan and always wants him to come over. I think he is sick of girls. ha ha



some halloween photos. I was such a bad mom and didn't take any photos of the kids this year. We were in Albuquerque at a dental convention for Halloween and so the kids didn't get much candy time. These are photos of the girls at the ward trunk or treat. thanks to my friend for the pics we have some documentation. :) Brielle was a pirate and Adlee 50's girl with her friend Kayesli Westwood.




Pure bliss! I was able to go with my great friends from dental school to "Time out for women" in St. George for 5 days!! Thank you Adam!! It had been a long time since I had seen most of them and I laughed for 5 days straight. I think I got 4 hours of sleep in 2 nights. We just couldn't go to bed and quit the fun. Thank you Val for the nice place to stay and thank you girls for being such fabulous people. miss you all!!!



Oh yes, and a few weeks later I was able to go to Santa Fe, NM with some more of my fabulous friends here in Clovis. We went to the midnight showing of you guess:
and yes, we made and wore these great shirts. along with vampire teeth, crazy wigs and much much more. Because of a lost camera at Thanksgiving I have no pictures to document our craziness. BUT, maybe that is a good thing. So much fun and so many laughs! thanks girls and thanks Adam, again!!!


LOVE THIS PICTURE. Brielle has a special love for Joshua! she loves to hold him and sleep with him. one night she asked me, "mommy I just want him to snuggle with me." I couldn't resist letting her fall asleep with him. so cute!

Oh baby! this next year is filled with more crazy races for Adam and look what he got for the outdoor adventure race in Colorado. Studmuffin!

Maybe we should have trimmed this tree this summer, but look how beautiful it was this fall.

Classis photo of Noah for so many reasons: 1. buzzed head (accident) 2. his smirk smile 3. hand in his pants, oh yes! and 4. something in his hand that he says is a sword.

Dang, so flippin cute! 4 months old

Look what we got this week! The kids had so much fun playing in the snow after school but oh was it cold this week.


And our Christmas tree is up. Lucky Adlee got to put the star on. Can't wait to go to AZ again for Christmas with our family!

The girls put on a happenin' concert on top of their fort last week. Videos are coming! hilarious!
Our Joshua is now 7 weeks old, crazy how fast it is growing. He is so darn cute.

Just another pic of this crazy kid.We were able to go to Arizona and bless Joshua at my parents home with our family last week. Thank you for all your support and love.

Saying Goodbye to Uncle Tanner was not easy but we are so excited for him to go on a mission.

We love you Tanner!

We LOVE to drive 10 hours to Mesa!

Some super fun on the trampoline with Dad!

The girls love playing on their fort, and it's not even finished! but almost......

THANKYOU GRANDPA "POPPY" and GRANDMA GOODMAN for the BEST BABY GIFT EVER!!!! TRAMPOLINE

my mom asked me what they could get for Joshua and after a little discussion we decided the best gift would be a trampoline. It truly is the BEST because it keeps his brothers and sisters loudness outside. THANKYOU! we love when you come visit us and love being with you.

mom and dad worked so hard on setting up the trampoline for us, even in the downpour of rain.

happy at last! grandpa is soaked

a cute peaceful rest

Joshua is 3 weeks old and really filling out fast!

Adlee's 4th and Brielle's 1st day of school, for some reason they start Kindergarten after the rest. Can you tell Brielle is really interested in saying goodbye to me, she is so excited, and still loves school! she is so grown up! aaahhh!

Our great friends, the WESTWOOD girls

Everyday it is something new that Noah introduces Joshua to. 1st it was cars

Then this morning, I found Joshua on the couch with trains.

Oh Joshua, Noah loves you!

Noah wants to sleep with "baby" all the time.

The four rascals

Thank you Nana for coming to help us and play with us! We love you!

Noah enjoyed the game, "putting his hand in nana's pocket and she takes it home with her." So cute!
