6 years.


Saturday will be Nick and I's 6th wedding anniversary! It has gone by so fast. I am so thankful that I married him, he really is my best friend. This year has been so much fun! He finally got the job he wanted, we moved out of apartments and into a house, we have laughed alot and become much closer! We are looking forward to buying our first house this summer! I am so thankful for him and for all that he does for me! I can't imagine my life without him.

Happy Anniversary Hunny! I am looking forward to Eternity with you!

New Car!






We finally got a new car! It has been really nice to have a van and have all the room. Now that we have a bigger car Nick is thinking about letting me have another baby! YAHOO!!
To celebrate the buying of our new car we decided that we would take it on a road trip. We took the kids to Portland to see my family. It was so fun, and even better... we were able to put Nolan in the way back and not have to listen to him talk our ears off for 8 hours! We had so much fun in Portland. We got to go to the mall, see my brothers new house and eat at a really fun 50's diner, we went to IKEA I have missed that store. We visited with old friends and even had a girls night, and Nick went on a much needed guys night. It was nice to see old friends again, you know they are your real friends when you can go and pick up where you left off and that is just how it was. It was also nice to spend time with my mom. We have really missed her. She made us delicious food and loved on the kids. I love the relationship that my kids have with her. They love her so much. I love to watch her and Nolan talk, they could talk for hours they are best friends and it just melts my heart. We were sad to go but are looking forward to a family reunion this summer at the coast!

My sweet Adelyn!




Adelyn is so fun right now. She is my little best friend. She loves to follow me around and help me with everything I do. She loves to put her make up on in the morning, have her hair done now that she finally has some, she loves to help me clean, and do laundry, she loves to wear my shoes and jewelry and is all girl. I love having a little girl that I can dress up! I am sad that she is getting so big but it has been fun now that I stay home to get to know her cure little personality.
I LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL SO MUCH!!!!

Merry Christmas.






We has a great Christmas this year! Nolan got a bike and Adelyn got a Kitchen. They both got zhu zhu pets and moon dough and they LOVE them. It was fun this year to see Nolan get so excited about Santa coming and asking all these questions about Christmas. It brought back the magic of Christmas that I have missed. They were both fun on Christmas morning going through their stockings and tearing the paper off their presents. Adelyn especially loved all the babies that she got, they all have names too and she loves to push them in her stroller and give them kisses. Nolan loved the Bat cave that he got too he loves to build it all different ways. Since we are back in Idaho this year we spent Christmas Eve with Nick family and Santa came to give all the kids a gift it was fun to watch their faces light up. I love everything about Christmas this year we really had the Christmas spirit in our home and were able to teach the kids what Christmas is all about!

Fun in the SNOW!!!!






We had a lot of snow this year. Maybe not a lot for Idaho but a lot for us coming from Oregon. Nolan loved it. He wanted to go and play in it every chance he got. He loved to hear it crunch under his feet and to make snow angels and snowmen. He even liked to play in it with his gardening tools. Adelyn on the other hand HATED it. I went out with the kids one morning and we tried to make a snowman it just wasn't that great of snow and wouldn't form a snowman so we decided to just play instead. Adelyn screamed the WHOLE time, she couldn't stand the sounds or feel of it. Nolan stayed outside and I took Addie in to watch Nolan. He was so cute! I love how excited he got about the snow and I hope Adelyn likes it next year!

Nolan Turns 4!!!




I can't believe that my sweet Nolan turned 4 this year on November 14th I know I am very behind! Unfortunately our camera was broken and we got very few pictures. He had a good Birthday. He got Toy Story 3 from Grandma and Grandpa Harnsberger and a Toy story bowl with cookie cutters so we can make cookies together. He got a Project box from Nana and Papa and we got him some new clothes and a Jail that he can play with. He had a party with the Westover family and thought that was so cool! He even got to blow out the candles with Popsie!
I am so thankful that Nolan is a part of our family!
Here are somethings I love about Nolan:

He loves to say his prayers.
He gives good hugs.
He has a very tender heart and is very loving to others.
He LOVES his sister and looks out for her.
He LOVES Thomas the Train and Chuggington.
His best friend is Henry, his stuffed hippo.
He has and infectious laugh.
He loves to talk and hear stories.

I LOVE YOU NOLAN!!! I am so proud to be your mommy.

Pumkin Patch!






This year we went to this really fun Pumpkin Patch in Meridian. The kids LOVED it. They had a cow train, a corn pit, big slides, a corn maze, a hay maze, a hay ride, and this huge jumping pillow that we all jumped on and had a ton of fun. We went with Nana, and Emily and Nathan and their kids. It was a nice day to enjoy time outside as a family before it really got cold. I think we will go their again next year and maybe even do the corn maze!
