Every year my family will take a trip together right before Christmas. I know it's not like we're already busy enough. This year we went to Rocky Point, Mexico and stayed in a 8 bedroom 7 bath house. It was so much fun. We had 32 family members there. We ate, shopped, went to the beach, laughed, cried, and ate some more. I think we all gained at least 5 pounds. We missed you Jac, Brig and Randy!!

~Busy, Busy Busy~

We have been going, going, going for the past 2 weeks to Christmas concerts, piano recitals and dance performances. BrookeLyn had her performance for jazz and ballet this past weekend. She's been moved up to a class with girls that are in High School. Her and her friend Macie are the only 2 girls that are in 4th grade. Pretty impressive and they think they are HOT stuff being in the older class. They did such a good job. I am so proud of BrookeLyn and how she's always pushing herself.

~Hot Chocolate~

I think one of the best parts of Winter is having Hot Chocolate and toast. My kids love it and I think Kenadi likes it too! What do you think??

~My Sweeties~

Aunt Cara took the kids pictures last week for our Christmas Cards. She only sent me a few so far. I think they're pretty ADORABLE! Their is still time left if you want to schedule a shoot with her for your Christmas Cards!!

~100% CUTE~

I hate Mondays!!! The reason I hate Mondays is that it's my cleaning and laundry day and it's very hard to get things done when you have a little miss priss following you wherever you go and emptying out everything you just cleaned up. But who can get mad at this sweet adorable 100% cutie. She is ADORABLE I think!!

~MY GRILL IS COMING OFF ~

I know it's kind of ridiculous taking and posting pictures of yourself, however I just had to let you all know about my good news. YES my braces are coming off in 1 month!! I can not wait to bite into a big red juicy apple again!! It's been a long 8 months with this grill on and I've had a lot of family members make fun of me, but you can all kiss my ____!! My teeth are straighter and whiter then all of yours, Dustin!:)

*Sweet Grandma Nana*

This is my Grandma Nana who is 93 years old!! Even though she has zero eyesight she still wanted to dress up for Halloween. She sure does love all 70 grandkids especially mine j/k. We hope she lives for many many many more years. We love you Grandma. Thanks for the goodies.

*TRUNK OR TREAT*

Isn't Trunk or Treat the best! You get to dress up for the night and get tons of candy in one stop. I love it!! My sister Jill and her kids came over and went with us. They all looked adorable especially our little Lady Bug. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

*LOVE FOR NIE*

Cute Stamps they had that said Nie. There were a 1,000 people at the concert!

Leslie and I looking FANCY before the concert.

My Mom, Jill, Leslie , Myself, Courtney along with her baby "The Chief", and the cute little Nielson girls Jane and Claire.

We had such a fun time this weekend with my mom and sisters. The concert was something I will never forget. I don't think that their was a dry eye in the auditorium. Mindy Gledhill is incredible! She sang a lullaby song with Stephanie's girls, that Stephanie would sing to her kids. The girls did such a good job and made everyone cry. We also got a picture with CJane (Courtney) who is Stephanie's older sister who's watching the kids until their parents recover from the accident.

My Sisters and I are faithful readers of NieNie Dialogues. She is an amazing woman who was in a plane crash with her husband Mr. Nielson a few months ago. Her friend from High School, who happens to be Mindy Gledhill is coming to Mesa for a benefit concert this coming Saturday!! Myself, along with my mother and sisters, are leaving the husbands and kids for a day and having a girls night out and will be attending the concert! If you're in the Mesa area think about joining us. It's supposed to be awesome and tickets are only $15.

-OUR 1 YEAR OLD PRINCESS-

Kenadi is finally walking at 15 months!! We finally got around to taking her 1 year old pictures. Thanks to Aunt Cara for these cute pictures she took of our little princess. Check out her website CAPTURE Photography.

-Funny Girl-

My sweet Mother(Grandma Honey) loves Diet Coke and everytime she has a soda she slips Kenadi a drink. Now Kenadi thinks anytime we have a soda, she has to hold it by herself and drink it. She thinks she's pretty funny. Thanks mom!!

-Stuart Reunion-

A few weeks ago we went to our last family reunion for the year. The kids had a blast fishing and playing with their cousins. Thanks to Aunta Cara for these cute pictures.

-FAMILY-

I love when we all get together as a family. We met at my sister Tandy's house this past weekend and had so much fun swimming, playing games, laughing, talking and just hanging out. I can't wait until the next family get together.

Ryson looking handsome as always in his swimming trunks.

Leslie's little angel Bryce in his pink floaties giving us all a big smile.

My brother Dustin looking mighty fine in his trunks. He's training for a marathon, so he says. We'll all believe it when we see it. Love ya Dust.
