Merry Christmas! 2009

Merry Christmas everyone! Here is a sneak peek of some of our Disneyland fun! We love you all.

Halloween 2009

Hannah dressed up as "Susan" from "Monsters v's Aliens". Eliza was just a cute fancy kitty. Love my girlies.

Aunt Denise sent this beautiful renaissance dress for Hannah, so she had two costumes this year :)

And of course pumpkin carving.

School Halloween Parade!

Hayden dressed as "Dan" from Bakugan.

Dawson dressed as "Ben 10".

Chandler was a Gothic punk rocker something.

And we cheered at, and embarrassed, the boys while they walked around the school. Lots of fun!

2009 Soccer Season

Chandler is such an awesome defender! He worked hard to help his team out! Great job Chan Man!

Gramma at the game to help cheer from the sidelines. Thanks to all our extended family who came to watch the games too!

Hayden was put in a bunch of positions this year. He does great in every one of them too. Coach knew he could count on Hayden to be ready to play! Awesome work Hayden!

Dawson played his first year of soccer. He was goal keeper for about half of the season. He did great too. He is definitely getting quicker! Love you boys. We can't wait to cheer you on next year too!

Santa already spotted?

Don't you just love bubbles? So does Dawson! I can't believe Christmas is almost here. I have so much to post before Christmas comes. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Disneyland, oh man I need to get to blogging more. Oh well, I will get caught up soon,...I hope :)

Grandparents Day was September 13th, (wouldn't have known, but that is what the calendar said :) I feel so blessed to live near my mom and dad. We love them so much. They watch our kids, let us hang out and play the Wii, feed us great food, and they are great examples to all of us! And we can't wait for Grandma Wilkins to stay out here in January. We are excited to really bond with our "Grandma from Missouri".

First Day of School! And Eric's Birthday!

My boys are just too awesome! I can't believe I have a 5th, 3rd, and 1st grader. All at the same school for just one more year. They are such amazing students. All of their teachers are so impressed with each of them. I am too. I love you boys. Keep up the great work!

One year OLDER and WISER too! Happy Birthday Sweetie! (in case you can't count the candles,...he's 33 :) I am so thankful to have such a great husband. Lately I have had person after person telling me how thoughtful Eric is, and it is so fun to hear. Eric you are so amazing. You give so much of your heart. You are a sweet example to me. I love you.

Six Flags 2009!

The Wilkins and the Armstrongs.

Tweety Bird, Rachel, and Hannah

Eric loves it when I take pictures like this :)

We love our Poppa!

Six Flags 2009

A total kid at heart!

Okay, so I love the kids coasters too. You really have to click on this picture because every ones faces are so funny!

I hope my kids will keep these memories forever!

Eliza and Aunt Becca again. Love it.

More Summer Fun 2009!

Jacob Armstrong was ordained a Deacon by his Dad. What a great example to all of his little cousins. We love you Jake! And we love the Armstrong family too...( my sister is beautiful )

This is not the best picture, but it's the only one I had. We stayed with Great Nana and Poppie Mariluch for a night. We went to the cutest aquarium in Sandy, UT. We love our grandparents.

Aunt Megan,....this is why you have to try for a daughter...please don't say you are done having kids...Thanks for bonding with Hannah!

Just hanging out waiting for Six Flags to close. Good times.

Eliza is 2!!!

Eliza turned two years old in July. I can't believe my baby is getting so big. I was really surprised when we had her and found out that she was a girl. I thought Hannah was enough girl for this family. But now I am so happy to have another little girl. She is so cute and sweet. She loves doing everything her big sister does, except go on the potty :) The other day I had cranked up the stereo so loud while doing my make-up. After a couple of minutes, I went to check on the girls. I had to spy on them so they wouldn't be embarrassed because I saw them totally dancing and singing in the hallway, to the song that was on the radio. They would grab hands and dance together, then alone, then together again. It was the cutest thing I had seen in a while. I mean, they are always doing cute things, but sometimes I don't stop to watch. Whether I'm too busy with chores, or make-up, or whatever... I've been missing out on some of the sweetest times of motherhood. Wow,...sorry, getting pretty deep. Anyways,... I love you Eliza Jeanne!

Eliza shares her birthday with Grandpa Patrick! They are RCB's...Recliner Cuddle Buddies. I'm so thankful that my kids have loving grandparents. It's all about family right? That is why we are here. Love you Dad!

Summer Fun With The Armstrongs!

We loved having our Aunt Rebecca and cousins, Jake, Grace, Sarah, and Rachel here during the summer! We miss you guys already :(

Eliza really bonded with her "Becca", it was really cute to see.

We even made it to the Jelly Belly Factory, and of course came home with a bag of "Belly Flops"!

The kids played so well with eachother all month. We just wanted to spend every minute with the Armstrongs. Hopefully you guys didn't get too sick of us :) We love you and can't wait until we see you again!
