Jenna's 4th Birthday

I can't believe that my baby just turned 4! She is one of those "lucky" kids who have their birthday right around Christmas time! December 27th is when my last miracle baby came into our lives! Our lives have never been the same and I love having our sweet, spunky, competitive, funny, sassy, tomboy, and princess in our home! I love you Jenna Sage :)

Jenna got spoiled for her birthday. I think she thinks that her birthday is just Christmas but a couple days later. She gets spoiled in December that's for sure :)






We also had a Christmas party on her birthday with Luke's Dad, so that is where we sang to Jenna and had her blow out candles. She is such a cute girl and loved all the attention.

Christmas 2011

This has been a crazy year for us. We had to move to Nephi in October because Luke got a police officer job there and they require that you live in the city. (Don't get me started on that law!) So we moved our family down here and I have to admit, its kind of a cute little town with some really nice people. I'm not saying I want to live here forever but for now its nice. We moved from a 3 bedroom 1 bath house to a 5 bedroom 3 bath house and we have so much space! Christmas was really fun this year because my kids were all at perfect ages! It was a new house, new school, and 1st Christmas in the house feel and it was awesome!

These were the letters that Isaac and Jaida left for Santa. I thought they were so cute I had to post the pictures. I love how sweet they are :)




What did Christmas Morning bring?....






We had a lot of happy kids and dare I say that Santa was exhausted! :) We were so blessed this Christmas and I think that next year I want to tone it down some and teach my kids the joy of serving others. I'm not saying Santa won't visit, I'm just saying I started to think about all my kids received and I started to think about how there are so many people in the world that go without that I may not go Black Friday shopping like I always do, I may not find "great" deals that I think my kids can't live without, I may serve more, create more, and find time to spend with the people who matter most. Remind me to read this post when November comes will you? :)

Jenna's New Haircut (not my idea!)

Jenna is my spunky child who has always and I mean ALWAYS had a fascination with scissors! She has given herself a mullet at least 8 times in the past 2 years and I have just let them grow out. This time she has complete out done herself. She found scissors hidden in my bathroom drawer (all when I thought she was asleep) and decided to give herself a haircut. I have gotten so mad at her about cutting her bangs so she decided to leave those alone and just cut the rest of her hair!

This is her shortly before she cut her hair.



This is Jenna after she cut her hair. I promise the pictures do NOT do justice! Some parts of her hair were cut to her scalp! I went a little crazy to say the least!





I took her to a salon and then this is the hair she came home with! I have to admit it is a cute cut and I was a little upset about it because I wanted her to learn a lesson. I think she did though because she always talks about having her long hair back like Rapunzel. So here's to hoping she won't use scissors on her hair anymore! :)

Family Pictures 2011

I know it has been FOREVER since my last post but I am trying to do better. We'll see how it goes :)
In November, we got our family pictures taken by Nikki Crandall. She is amazing and I love them. The kids did great and we got some really cute pictures.

I love this picture of Luke and I. He is such a great father and is working his butt off as a police officer. I really appreciate everything he does. I am constantly amazed by him. I am more in love with him everyday. It helps that he's hot! :)



My 8 year old (almost 9) handsome Isaac. I can't tell you how much I love this boy! I am incredibly blessed to have him in my life. He is so sweet and smart and talented. I just can't get enough of him!



Jaida is 6 years old and I am so proud of her! Not only is she gorgeous but she has the sweetest heart! She loves school (not so much her teacher) but she really wants to be successful. She already talks about college and gets disappointed in herself if she gets anything lower than 100%. I love her smile and even her little attitude!



Jenna is now 4 years old and I can't believe how time flies! She is so funny and I love her sense of humor. (She gets it from me :) ) She is my child who is attached to her mommy! She is also super competitive! She is my princess that loves to play in the mud. I love that about her!



I love my little family! I am so blessed.
