Winter Time FUN!

Oh what do you do in the winter time when all there is is SNOW????

Do you get out your quad? And beg your dad??

To pull you around real slow!!!

Is that what you do? So do I !!

Christmas Day!

Christmas was extra special this year because it was on a Sunday. We attended a wonderful 3 ward Sacrament Mtg. There was amazing musical numbers and my dad spoke. I didn't want the meeting to end, you could really feel the love of our Savior. We visited with family and friends and then came home to open presents. We also anxiously waited for our phone call from our missionary. It was a treat to hear his voice. We then went to the ranch to spend time with grandma and grandpa and other family members. It gets a little crazy when we are all together but I love every minute of it!!! I have so much to be thankful for!!

Christmas with the Mallory's!!

Nicholas, Carly and Gracilyn went to Idaho for Christmas so we decided to let them open their presents before they left. It was super fun watching Graci open presents, she was so lady like!!

Nicholas opening his present from his favorite store Bass Pro Shop!!!

I thought this picture was so sweat. It is crazy to me how at such a young age she already has that motherly instinct. Oh how we LOVE this booger!!

FINALS!!

These pictures are the finals for Brock in wrestling. The tournament was held here in Heber so that was a plus. He ended up taking 4th. I know he wasn't to happy with his performance on his last match but we are proud of what he accomplished this wrestling season. So far our boys haven't wrestled in high school but we will wait to see what Brock decides to do:-)

Happy Birthday to YOU!!

Oh my goodness - can you believe it - it has already been a year!!!! This little gal has brought so much joy, sunshine, happiness, laughter, excitement and LOVE into our lives. We are so thankful that she is part of our forever family. We love you Gracilyn!!

Happy 1st Birthday!!!

HAPPY 25TH!!!!

Another Year Has Gone By
And I'm Still The One By Your Side!!!

On November 14th we CELEBRATED 25 years of marriage!!!! Knowing how much Satan works on marriages and families I have definitely decided that every anniversary needs to be CELEBRATED. Each and every year becomes monumental!!! We spent some much needed alone time in California. We enjoyed a day at Disneyland with each other and I felt guilty for a few seconds not having the kids with us but we had soooo much FUN. We did a session in the San Diego Temple and spent some time on the beach. We talked a lot about the past 25 years and how much we have grown as a couple. When you get married young, you really do grow-up together. I know there were things that Tim did that drove me crazy when we first got married but it has been sooo long that I can't remember what they were!! I am thankful for the spirit bearing witness to my soul that he was the one because I have clung onto that witness many times through the years. I am grateful for Temple covenants, unconditional love and forgiveness.

I love you Tim - it's a pleasure growing OLD with you!!

Happy Baptism Day!!

On October 29th Mary was baptized. She was so excited !!! We are very thankful for the opportunity to raise this beautiful girl. She has been a blessing to our family. She is a little sponge when it comes to gospel learning and she loves to sing. I Love To See The Temple is her favorite primary song. We sing it almost every Monday for F.H.E.. The day was packed with family activities. We spent the morning in the Temple, my niece and nephew (Ciara and Huston) received their endowments. There is nothing better then a Celestial room full of loved ones. It is heaven on earth. We hurried home for Maryjane's big day and then spent the evening enjoying good food and fun company. We had our own little trunk or treat in the driveway and all the kids were happy:-)

M.J. we love you and hope you know just how special you are!!
