Coolest Thing ever!!!!

So these images are from the Daily Herald in utah, This is probably one of the coolest things i have seen in a really long time especially because it is true. These are pictures from the aftermath of the Provo Tabernacle Fire and this picture of Christ was found all burned but his image. It gives me goosebumps everytime i look at it. I hope it hits you as hard as it did me that Christ is our one true Savior and though everything around us may be bursting into flames if we center our life around christ then we will stand strong.... i know lame analogy but it works and due to the time of year it needed to be said. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

 this one is awesome i may frame it for my hubby!!!

A huge thanks to my friend Melanie for taking them she has never done anything like this before and did such a great job.Enjoy!! a lot of you will be getting the first picture in our christmas card and if your not and would like one leave me your address :)!!!

LEAF the Fun to us!!!

We had a family day a few days ago and played in the leaves, goofed around with the camera and just had fun spending time together since it doesn't happen very often. I love days like this one and wish they weren't as few and far between as they are. Anyway here is way more pictures then necessary of our fun filled family day!!!

In a Nutshell?!! Sort Of!!!

Here are the last couple months reviewed in lots of pics!:) Paul got a new Camping hammock for a big hike he was doing and acted like a little kid at christmas him and max played outside in it while Paul tried it out before his big hike!!! Aren't the cute?

 Paul in New Toy Heaven!!!

 I have a feeling he will be following in his daddy's footsteps!!!

 If you will take notice to the long hair!! yes this was before halloween and when it was warm anough to still wear shorts. The remainder of the pictures are of Max with short hair, which makes him look so old and grown up i was kinda sad but so happy to not have a child with a mullet!!

 Okay i lied after the next four pics he has short hair, this is in early october after he recieved a birthday present from a beloved family friend and adopted grandma who moved away. We sure do miss you Marg!!

 Showing his polar bear some love!!

 Got ahold of the lotion!!

 one of his favorite past times is sticking stickers all over himself!!!

 AND THE SHORT HAIR IS HERE!!!! doesn't it look fabulous?

 He is so handsome!!! i still melt when he looks at me with those baby blues!!!

 Family home evening treat!! It was the first week that candy cane oreos came out Yumm Yumm!! This may or may not have been my second bag that day!!!

 MMMMM!!!! Oreo Coma!!!

 HA HA!!!

 Like Father Like Son!!!

 We had the opportunity to go to Boise again and spend thanksgiving with the cousins and family. Brandon and Lindsay and the boys were supposed to come but the weather ruined our lives :)!!! We missed them but still had a good time in the snow and eating and shopping tons. Here is Max and cousins playing in what little snow was left the next morning!!!

 Kennedy, Booklyn and Max and Bob the Snowman!!!

 Kennedy was pulling the kiddos around in a sled while they were bundled up in blankets. I sure am greatful for Kennedy and the amazing cousin she is to all her littler cousins, she entertains them so much and takes such amazing care of them. She is going to make an amazing mother some day i can't wait to watch her grow and become a mom some day!!!

 And i just loved this picture of my gorgeous niece McKensey!! doesn't she look like a model? i can't believe how old she is and how awesome she is. I am sad i didn't get pics of Akemi and Kage they are also so old and amazing kids i love them all so much and am so grateful max has such amazing cousins to take care of him. Hopefully we get to live close to them someday so MAx can play with them a lot more often!!!

And i wouldn't feel right not mentioning my sister Jaimee's Kiddos and how cute and fun they are!!! Her boys are growing so much and are so adorable Max and those boy are going to get into lots of trouble together someday. Brooklyn is so funny and Max adores her he ask me Where she is everyday at least 50 times a day. And little miss Allie turned two on out trip home, i am so glad she is a part of our family officially this year and i can't believe she is already two and such a little diva!!! We love our cousins!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
