What am I forgetting?

I am so thankful that my family is happy and healthy.  I am so happy I have this journal to remind me just how wonderful my life is.

It is 10:30, my night owl (Dalin) is having no problem waiting up for midnight.  My girl (Aubrey) begged me to stay up and I knew full well she wouldn't make it... she is out!  Correction, she is awake, just quiet.  
Nana and Papa are on their way here and car is loaded and ready to go early to the parade :)

Happy New Year to those who read my blog.  All five of you :)  Just kidding.  I think there might be ten of you.

LOVE you all!!

Had to do it...

Had to take this photo at church.  During Sacrament that we stayed in the foyer for... how handsome is my man?  And how cute is he with Laney?

Great grandma and Gordy...

I took the kids up to Lancaster for the day to spend it with grams.  We had a nice visit.  Got to see Gordy.  He looks older.  He made my kids laugh unknowingly of course.  It is so strange how when you get old and are nearing the end you become just like a little child.  He was sticking his tongue out at grams and pretending to punch her and making funny noises  all of which my kids thought were so funny!!  I am so grateful my kids know their great grandparents.  I was Aubrey's age when my great grandma died and I remember her and was very close to her.  

Alzheimer's disease.  VERY sad.  

Love you grams and Gordy! 

Flashback Friday...

For the new year, I am gonna start a new thing... every Friday, I will put an old picture up.  This one is just for laughs!

My favorite sound!

Les Miserables

It was GENIUS just as I hoped it would be!!  I am a happy girl because I got to see it!!  Darrin loved it too!  And I love that he loved it!  I love that he is a softy and we cried together!  Wouldn't have it any other way!!  

A perfect day~

Hey, look at that... Santa showed up

The stair line up...

Laney gets put into position...

Excitement!

"Hey, what you got?"
