Makeup rut

I am in need of some new foundation. I have been using Mary Kay forever but I am running low and I want to try something new. So, please share what you all use and why you like it.

Snow Cone anyone?

Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam!

Jackson had his first sunbeam class today. We've been talking about it a lot lately to get him used to the idea of no nursery. After Sacrament he just kept clinging to my leg and saying I want to go to nursery, before I even said anything about Sunbeam class. He new it was coming. Since I am in the presidency I have to be in there anyway so for the first little bit he sat with me, once the fun started with singing he sat with his class. And then he was just perfect when they left for their classrooms. Hopefully the adjustment will go smoothly. He is just such a young sunbeam I hope he doesn't give the teacher stress! I can't believe he is actually in Primary! I took this picture really quick before church, we were running late (like usual), so it's not the best, but he is singing the sunbeam song.

Friday we decided to be daring and take the kids to the movie. We hadn't attempted it yet, so I was anxious to see how they would do. Landon is such a mellow kid that I wasn't too worried, but you never know. They were both absolutely perfect! I was in awe at how well Jack sat there and watched the movie. I left once with Landon when he was getting a little antsy but then came back, sat down, and he fell asleep towards the end. It was really fun to go to the theater as a family!

And here is just some random pics. This was the other night out my back door of Antelope Island. The sunset was so pretty!

And of course I gotta throw one in there of Landon.

I'm slow

Yes I know I am slow and I still have my Christmas template up. But I am going to work on getting my house stuff put away and then I will change the blog.
Also, I know Christmas was a week ago but I had to share this video of my Nephew opening the present we got him. It's definately watch worthy! He loves horses!

Christmas Day

Here are a few pics from Christmas morning. Jack was up early and Landon slept late. So Jackson got to open his presents and then once Landon was awake he did his. Of course Jackson ended up opening the majority of Landon's, because he just didn't have an interest until things were completely unwrapped.

He had this silent excitement for Big Scrambler.

He'll have to grow into this one, but he was excited regardless.

This is Landon's new face when he sees the camera

After the kids did their Santa stuff, Kenny's sister's and their families came over for breakfast and more presents. The kids got spoiled of course. (Thank you everyone) It was a fun time spent with family. Later on Kenny and I did gifts, and my wonderful husband surprised me with this!

Meet the newest member of our family, my very own digital SLR!I was so excited when I saw that box, I cried, and I don't even think I can blame it on the pregnancy hormones! I couldn't believe he had done that. He knew how bad I had wanted one. It was so sweet of him! Love you honey! I have been trying to become more knowledgeable in photography and I am so excited to have a camera to play with. I have so much to learn, I haven't ventured into manual mode yet, but hopefully soon I can start getting the hang of how this thing works. So here are a few of my subjects.

Hopefully by the time this little one comes I can have things down a little better so I can take some fun newborn shots. So if I am not blogging, it's because I am studying!

Our Very Merry Christmas!

Wow, I don't even know where to start. We had such a good time celebrating the Saviors birth with our families. This may sound cheesy, but I just love the warmth and spirit that this season brings! We spent the Saturday and Sunday before Christmas with my family. Jackson got to ride the snowmobile again, in the field, all by himself. I really wish I would have gotten a picture now, but we do have it on video. My dad on his snowmobile, and Jack on the little one, he just followed him through the field, cutest sight ever! When he saw my dad standing he even tried to stand up while driving. We put him and Landon on the tube to go down the little "hill" in the backyard. Landon just layed there sprawled out on the tube and absolutely loved it! Sunday we had a nice dinner with my siblings and grandparents. That night we went to my grandpas for the extended family party. There was quite a few of them in town so it was really nice to see everyone, that I haven't seen in a while. Monday we headed to Idaho Falls to see Kenny's family. We were worried about the weather but it wasn't bad at all until a little past Pocatello. The whole time we were there it seemed like it never stopped snowing. By the time we left on Wednesday they had so much snow.

Here's the boys Christmas Eve in their Christmas jammies.

I am going to make a new post with all our Christmas Day pics. Hope you all had a good one!

Merry Christmas!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas! We are out the door for a busy weekend. I most likely won't be posting until after the Holidays. I hope you all have a good one, travel safely and enjoy time spent with family.

Christmas Thoughts
Some people think of Christmas

As sleigh rides in the cold

A tree that glistens of tinsel

And decorations of silver and gold.

Some people think of Christmas

As stockings dressed in red

A crackling glowing fireplace

And a warm and cozy bed.

Some people think of Christmas

As faces filled with glee

Sharing stories, fun and laughter

And gathering 'round the tree.

Some people think of Christmas

As gifts wrapped up in blue

Writing letters to their loved ones

And Christmas caroling too.

Some people think of Christmas

As snow falling on the ground

The hustle and bustle of shoppers

And the joy that's spread around.

Some people think of Christmas

As Christ on Christmas day

And families joined together

With heads bowed down to pray.

Some people think of Christmas

As the Lord who dwells above

Who sent His son to die for us

And gave the gift of love.
