My New BOSCH!!

I am so super excited to start using this baby!  I have wanted one for a long time and Matt surprised me with one for Christmas! 

Christmas 2012

We had such a fun Christmas season and the best way to remember everything is with lots of pictures – they say things best!






 

Gingerbread House and Cake Pops

Just a few fun Christmas time crafts!
 

Pre-school Nativity

    

Gideon and Sarah had such a fun time acting out the nativity with their pre-school classes.  It was very cute to watch them too!

Rebecca’s Birthday!

Rebecca turned 7 this year.  She had a fun party with her friends – they had cake and opened presents and then I took 8 little girls swimming.  It was a lot of fun!

Grandma and Grandpa Murray came for supper the next day – Becky always loves a visit from them!

A Few Changes

Our bathroom was starting to look a little worse for the wear.  The paint above the tub was peeling and cracking and there were a lot of dings and chips that needed to be repaired as well.  Matt had a few days off and transformed our bathroom from this......

 ..... into this!  It made a big difference.

We also were able to score on a new bedroom set from our local swap and buy website and got this set for only $300!  I love a good find!

Is anyone down there?

Gid decided to see if there was any chocolate left in the bottle.......

Love this kid!!

Happy Anniversary!

 On November 3, 2001, Matt and I were married.  It was a beautiful day and we had a blast taking lots of fun pictures and making wonderful memories.

I love this guy so much! 

We were so lucky to have my mom come and spend the day with our kids and we spent the day together!  We went to the temple and then out for dinner and then a movie too.  It was a great day!

Self Portrait

Brendan has always been interested in art, and I know he has been enjoying his art class at school this year.  He had an assignment to do a self portrait and ended up getting 100% for his work!  I was blown away by this -- I had no idea he had so much talent!   We are super proud of him!

S'mores!

 We decided to have a super fun Family Home Evening and made s'mores with the kids in the fireplace.  They all thought it was so much fun!
