I can't believe we have been married for a year. Every one warned me that the first year is really hard. I honestly can tell you it has been so fun and a breeze. Steve and I really are a great match! He spoiled me for our first anniversary. We had a delicious dinner at The Melting Pot, we went to Messiah sing along and the stayed in a luxurious suite at Hotel Monaco.
A special thanks to Grandma Shields for watching the monkeys so we could escape!

We have sad news at our house...Caleb no longer believes in Santa!!! :( Some kids at school were saying that Santa wasn't real. He came home and asked Steve some questions and the truth had to be revealed. He was a little dissapointed that Santa wasn't real and that also meant that our Christmas elf Paco isn't real either! It is hard growing older!!!! We explained to him that it's all part of the magic of Christmas and that it can still be exciting for him!!!
**Paco the elf: Last year we had one of "Santa's elves" bring the kids some things early for Christmas. The kids wanted to know what the elves name was. Steve jokingly said his name was Paco and the name stuck. Paco has brought things all year long to check up on the kids. His latest gift was Jazz tickets!
Granny B came in to town this weekend for a short visit. The kids love their Granny B.
Here is a shot of Granny B drawing a picture of Jonah.
Here is the portrait of Alexa.
This Thanksgiving was spent at the Provo Marriot with my in-laws. I have to say it was FABULOUS to not have to cook.
Paco the Christmas elf brought the kids Jazz tickets. Alexa chose to hang out with one of her girlfriends instead of going to the game. That meant each of the boys got to bring a friend! The boys made signs and put blues hair gel in. It was so much fun to hear them cheer and yell. Go Jazz!
My friend Michelle won tickets to New Kids on The Block and I got to go with her!!! It was so much fun! Talk about taking you back !!!! The best part was watching Michelle! HILARIOUS!
Here is a video of Michelle singing along! All you can hear is my obnoxious laugh in the back ground. You will have to tilt your head side ways when you watch this...sorry!
The Corn Maze. We took the kids in their costumes and this is what my purse looked like half way through the maze. I don't think I will ever have a purse big enough!
