Family Pictures 2009

I finally got family pictures done and I love all of them! My sister in law Suzanna took about 85 pictures so here are just a few. I will post more at another time since it has taken me 2 hours just to do this much. Enjoy:)

Agel World 2009

This year at Black Tie we ate at Cucina Nassi in Salt Lake . It was an amazing dinner and lots of fun. After dinner we got to go to the new OC Tanner Jewelry Store and watch the top distributors of the company pick out diamonds for themselves. We were served the most amazing desserts on the 3rd floor of this beautiful building. Wow what a night!

This is Agel's Sales Team Ryan Blanchard, Sam, Jeff, Scott, and Zac Bradley

Jeff spoke at the opening ceremony's of Agel World and honored his Grandma Lavern with a token of gratitude. She had no idea this was happening to her, it was a great surprise. Jeff did a great job, I don't think that there was a dry eye in the place.

Bear Lake Vacation

We Finally made it back to Bear Lake, and it was great! We went with the Higginson Family and had an awesome time. The kids loved every minute of it and can't wait until next year. We rented a boat, mini golfed, went swimming, ate lots of food and treats and laughed a lot.

This is Molly,Emma,Gracie, and Alivia

This was the boat we rented. This was great fun Jaxon loved the tube, but wouldn't try skiing. Averi on the other hand did try skiing, but no one told her to let go of the rope if she didn't get up, and got drug by the boat. There is no picture of this, but I'm sure your laughing as you picture it in your head.

Miss Gracie always posing for pictures

Sam and I on the Trampoline

This was only a few pictures that were taken by Abbie since I forgot my camera(what's new). I myself can't wait until next year. There is never a dull moment when all of us get together and we always make great memories!

Averi's Baptism Pictures

My sweet little Averi had her baptism day on saturday. It was such a fun and spiritual day for our family, she was so excited to be baptised and very excited to get to wear her white dress. Jaxon had to give a talk at her baptism and was very nervous to do this. He grabbed my hand on the way out the door and looked up at me and said "mom I think I might cry at the end" I wanted to cry right then when he said that to me. He is such a sweet boy and loves his sisters very much. We then had a luncheon at our house after with family and friends. It turned out to be a great day other than the rain. I had my sister in law take her pictures in her dress and they all turned out perfect, she even did the invitations that were my favorite! Here are a few of the pictures, I wish I could have posted all of them but there were way too many.

Our Baby Girl Turns One

Today is Lia's first birthday and I can't believe how fast time flies. It seems just like yesterday that we welcomed this dark eyed little angel into the world. She has been the best baby since the day that we had her and has brought so much joy to our family. She is very much a daddy's girl and has a very big smile on her face when he walks through the door. She even says daddy all day long, but she has such a cute voice and says it so good that I could never get sick of hearing it. She is almost walking and has learned how to climb up on the fireplace, sit there for a minute and then get off by herself. She gets so excited when her brother and sisters walk into the room and they absolutely adore her. We love you very much Lia, Happy Birthday! Here are some very cute pictures that my sister in law Suzanna took for her birthday.

My Little Dancer

So Gracie loves Wednesday because she get to go to dancing. When I tell her that it's time to get ready she runs in and picks out her outfit and then immediately needs her hair done. Well today she was already to go and she looked so cute that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take her picture, which is so funny because if any of you know Gracie she loves to pose and has several different ones. So enjoy the cute little poses, I hope they make you smile as much as they made me smile.

Happy Valentines Day

For Valentines this year my parents invited us to go over to Riverside Country Club for dinner. It was such a great meal (Crab legs, shrimp, halibut and chocolate fountain) and was lots of fun to have my family together on Valentines. Usually we are running around like crazy and this year was relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks mom and dad for the invite, we had a great time and the kids loved the chocolate fountain.

70's Dance

Averi and I went to her 70's mother and daughter dance and had a great time together. We ate and danced together on the dance floor and laughed at all the great costumes that everyone came up with. I love that I got to spend time with my sweet Averi and her friends, we had a great date night.

Fun Weekend

For Christmas this year Sam gave me a weekend getaway in San Diego, CA. I have to say that it was the best Christmas present ever! We flew out on Friday morning and stayed until Sunday afternoon, which was perfect time away from the kids. The weather was amazing, I could go for 75 degree weather in January any day! We had so much fun doing anything we wanted at anytime. Shopping, laying by the pool, hot tub at night, movies, sleeping in, and of course eating at yummy restaurants. I would have to recommend this gift to every husband, your wife will love you just a little more. Thanks Sam for a much needed vacation it was a great weekend. Sad to say we didn't get one picture, but we did have a great time.

Great Friends

Every year at Christmas time Sam and I get together with our friends, have dinner, listen to the kids scream and run around, and talk about everything! I love it because I never get to see these guys and they are the best friends in the world. We all have lots of great memories together and love laughing about them. Thanks guys for always finding time in your busy Christmas schedules to spend with Sam and I, we always look forward to it and can't wait until the next time.
