Our Family

Casey and I have been married over 12 years! Casey still loves to cheer on his BYU Cougars and the Utah Jazz and I have time I love to squeeze in my Photography and running. These are some snap shots of our busy life with our 4 children. 2 girls and 2 boys!

Mom's Birthday

Gingerbread House Village

My mom's birthday is in December, so she always has a Gingerbread House birthday party. The kids have really started to look forward to this. Brooklyn has been telling me her plans for her house for weeks now. While I helped Nathan make his I looked at him and he had his arm up over his face and was using the other hand to stick candy in his mouth. He was trying to be sneaky. (I think he is used to the apple turkeys at the Baldwin's when you aren't allowed to eat the candy until everyone is done.) I had to tell him it's alright to eat the candy, he didn't have to hide. After we were all done my mom had two houses left that none had decorated and Olivia quickly asked if she could take them home to decorate. Mom put the candy in a bag and Livvy decorated them first thing the next morning. So now I have a complete gingerbread village.

Your cards are so gorgous, will you do mine next year? Ha ha. Olivia left a makeup kit at my house...I just found it, I think bella has been hiding it from me not wanting to give it back. I'll bring it to pre-school tomorrow.

What a fun birthday celebration for your mom. I love the picture of Nathan holding his house by the piano.
