Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.

So some of you may already know, but we are moving!! Trevor is on his second interview for a job in Alaska. So we are packing up and moving to Las Vegas. Trevor will commute back and forth. Well, he will work two weeks and have two weeks off. We are super excited about this job. We will need ALL your prayers! But so far everything seems to be falling into place and I feel this is what we should be doing. So there will be sometime before I post again, moving is getting harder and harder especially when you love the place you are leaving. Arizona is absolutely beautiful and there is so much to do here. Trevor is currently working at the Scottsdale airport which is across the street from the Barrett Jackson Auction. So we see so many beautiful cars!! Anyone who is in to sports this is the place to be! We have enjoyed going to the baseball games with the kids, and Nascar was pretty awesome. We didn't go to the Super Bowl but we watched the traffic! We have only been on a few hikes but this is the time of year to do it, and the desert is just amazing. One thing I wish we got to do was go to the Grand Canyon, but Trevor has promised me he will fly me over it someday! I will be holding on to that promise! We are very excited to move and hopefully open up more opportunities for our family and continue to grow. Haili will be starting kindergarten and Cody will be in preschool this year. They may never remember living here but I know they have had a blast. Haili is super excited to live near Madison. Everyday she asks me are we moving yet, so she can go play with her cousin. I will update my blog as soon as I can. ~Love~

Merry Christmas

This year we went to Boulder City and spent Christmas with Trevor's parents. Everyone got everything they wanted and more. Christmas eve we read the story of baby Jesus out of the bible, we then watched the Polar Express Movie, and after that grandma gave Haili, Cody, and Madison a bell of their own to hang on the tree. We then set out Christmas cookies for Santa. The next morning the kids had a blast opening up all their presents. And then we ate waffles with Shanna's new waffle maker! We then played Trevor's Wii the rest of the morning. I got a beautiful necklace and earrings from Trevor. Haili will get her kitchen from Santa when we get back home, and Cody will get a race car set also from Santa.

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We can't wait to see what the new year brings us.

Haili preschool program

Haili had a Christmas program at school. She wanted to be a princess, so her teacher told her she could be a princess angel. She was delighted to be anything princess. They had a cute program set up where they sang all the songs they have learned so far. They also acted out the story of Mary and baby Jesus. After it was all over Santa stopped by and all the kids got to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Haili wanted a Red Kitchen, which she got.

Happy Thanksgiving

This year Trevor's parents and Travis came to our apartment and had thanksgiving here. I had to work, but we made the whole meal before noon! Amazing! Shanna and I hit the stores on black friday, we didn't get up until 5 am, but we had fun and got almost all our christmas shopping done. Haili and Cody loved playing with grandma and grandpa, it's a good thing they are not too far away. We enjoyed having them over. Shanna also took our family pictures which turned out pretty good!! Sunday we headed up to Payson with Trevor's parents and had lunch before they headed back to Las Vegas.
We only have 23 days until Christmas! I am pretty excited, we will be in Las Vegas visiting for the weekend. Haili can't wait to see Madison.

Cowgirls and Indians

This week I picked up Haili from preschool like every normal day. I noticed all the kids were dressed up like Indians. They were learning about Thanksgiving. Well out comes my daughter in her pink dress and her cowboy boots. She didn't want to wear the indian outfit because she told her teacher she was a cowgirl. :) She had found Trevors old boots that he wore when he was Haili's age. She only takes them off when she goes to bed at night. They are pretty beat up, but they are adorable. I did get her to try on her indian outfit for me later that day, just long enough for me to take a picture. Then it came off and the boots came back on. pic coming soon.

Good Guys Car Show

We had fun at the Good Guys Car show this weekend. Haili wanted to look inside almost every car! She will definitely be daddy's car buddy. Her favorite was a small roadster no bigger then she was, plus she saw the 10 year old boy driving away in it. They had a lot of gorgeous cars, and some were for sale.
... and a weather update for phoenix, yes it is still 85 degrees this weekend. I am loving it!

One Lucky Dude~

A friend sent me this and I thought it was pretty cool!
Someone was definitely watching over this guy that day.

NASCAR 08' PIR

A true nascar fan
Final turn Jimmy Johnson wins the race!


#88 Earnhart Jr :)











NASCAR was so much fun! We saw some pretty interesting people, the whole place was packed. We sat on turn four in the middle. No one sat in front or on the sides of us so we had lots of room to lounge for 5 hours. We got there around 10 am and left around 7 pm. They had all kinds of games and vendors outside. When we left there was no more merchandise left, they sold
out of everything! The weather was crazy, we get there and it was hot. Then they delayed the race for about 30 min because of rain. The sun came out again but the wind picked up and blew debris all over the track. There were some great wrecks, and some good racing. Jimmy Johnson won the race, I knew he would from the beginning, but I was wanting Earnhardt Jr. to at least
place in the top 5. He placed 6th. Lame. But we had a ton of fun!!

Arizona State Fair

This year we went to the fair. I didn't realize but the fair is so expensive! luckily we went on a day they had free parking, and free admission. Plus we packed our own lunches, so we spent about 40.00 and we only did two rides. oh and we got snow cones, they were buy one get one free. The kids had a lot of fun! They were a little to small to go on most rides anyways, so maybe next year they will be able to do more.

Oh, and just a weather update for this wonderful state. I had to put on a sweater for the first time!! Yea, it was 75 degrees out today. Hahahaha. But don't worry it will be up to 80 this weekend :)

Happy Halloween!!

We had so much fun this Halloween! It was a warm 94 degrees here in Phoenix Arizona. Trevor and I are running around in shorts and t-shirts and I am LOVING the weather. I am definitely a desert rat!
Haili loved all the candy and being a princess, well she couldn't decide on a witch or princess so we combined the two. So she became a Halloween Princess. Cody didn't really care much what he wore but he seemed to like his Race Car outfit and as long as he got candy he would wear anything. Haili had a halloween party at her preschool and then we went to walgreens where we got their pictures taken. Cody just woke up from his nap that is why he is not smiling in this picture, but every picture I took he would have the biggest grin! Then we all went out to dinner and of course the best thing to eat around here is mexican so we filled up on quesadillas, tamales, and chips and salsa. Then we were off to the mall. We did a little shopping while we were there, but the kids loved going from store to store and we got to the mall pretty early so they were giving handfuls of candy at a time. After an hour of that we then went to our ward chili party and ate some chili and corn bread. By the time we got home I didn't think we would have any trick or treaters but luckily I was prepared and bought a couple of bags. Haili had fun answering the door and giving out candy the rest of the night.



We also carved our pumpkins that week. Cody would not go anywhere near the guts but Haili didn't mind at all, she did pretty good with her pumpkin.



and we had some fun making Halloween cookies, but I think they ate more frosting then cookie.
