Hawaii:)

I haven't felt like blogging for a long time now.. but i will make an attempt today!

We got back from Hawaii and it was such a great trip.. definitally a surprise that we will never forget! It was so good to see Keara and hug her.. i never realized how connected i was to my sisters.. i miss them so much when i don't see them, and having Keara so far away just stinks! But she loves it there, and you can just see her bloom where she is planted:)

These are just a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.. we had a blast, but we really missed Lane! Can't wait to take him back!

Christmas was so fun, lane had 7 days off so we went up to Midway/Wallsburg and spent time with family.. there are just too many people to see! We never get to see everyone! I have 2 cameras and both are broken now, so i have NO pictures.. makes me mad!

Can't wait to see what 2010 will bring! We are so blessed to have bought our first house, and have just really had a GREAT year! So Happy Holidays:) From us to you!

AND WE ARE OFF!

Abbey and I are off to HAWAII!! We are going with my mom and sister Ash to SURPRISE Keara who moved there a couple months ago! She thinks my mom is the only one coming... can't wait to see her happy little face when she see's ours:) We will let you know how the warm weather and sunshine feels when we return:)

I have a secret!

And I can't say anything till December 14! He he.. i am so excited:)

AND NO I AM NOT HAVING A BABY:)

Our Magical Halloween

We had the BEST Halloween.. We went to California with Ashley, Kyle and Will! We went to Disneyland, California Adventure, Santa Monica Pier and a little Aquarium! We had the best time EVER! I am so sad we are home! We will definitally be going back soon (hopefully)

The weather was awesome, and the park wasn't really all that busy to our surprise!

To Lane's surprise he found Disneyland to be a magical place just like i do.. for the first time that he remembers he went on all the kid rides like Alice in Wonderland, and he kept saying i don't think i have ever been on these rides, it was so nice to have him really enjoy being there.. (he has always told me that he didn't like Disneyland, that it was kinda stupid cause there weren't any big rides, and so he has never wanted to go with me!)

We Love Halloween!

We had a good night Abs and Me! We carved a pumpkin.. and dressed up! She is getting really big:)

Grandmas House & Manning Meadows

We have had the best couple of days! My dad, Weston, Cody and Hunter all came down for 3 days to ride 4 wheelers and just hang out at my grandmas which is about 20 minutes from our house! I have felt like a little girl again going to grandmas and hanging out with my cousins! All my Uncle Davids kids were down there, and they were making their Halloween costumes so i got to help the girls and my cousin Nate who is in 7th grade played with Abbey.. he was so cute I have never seen a 7th grader (especially a boy) be so interested in playing with a little girl! He just loved her they were outside on the swing for a good hour then they watched finding nemo inside she just sat on his lap they shared treats and she fell asleep! It was so cute! Plus this is her first time meeting him! She has had a blast being with these kids:) She was making it hard to play crouqet.. moving the hoops!
The place she spent almost a whole day at! Can't believe she can hold on to the big swing for so long!
Lane, Cody and Hunter!

MANNING MEADOWS!

It was so cold i had at least 3 sweaters on! We were sad to see that all the leaves were gone, but it was a fun ride:)

Grandpa and Abbey!

Me & My Brothers (Hunter isn't really my brother, but he should be)


We are so lucky to live in a place where you can ride your 4 wheelers on the road.. you see more people riding 4 wheelers than cars:) We left right from our house and rode about an hour and a half up the mountain! Abbey did awesome she loves riding and i am so glad cause we love to do it, we really need to do it more! It was fun to have my dad and brothers there! We don't get to spend much time with them and we were glad that they came down to see us!

We Are Alive!

We are alive and well.. not much is going on! Just enjoying the fall weather and spending lots of time outside! We definitally have spent more time outside since it has been cold.. wierd i know but the cold air just feels so good! Abbey is running everywhere. there is no stopping her! Its fun but tonight my mom and ken were at our house for dinner, and when they left Abbey went outside after them.. she opened our door all by herself and stood on the porch wanting to go with my mom! I guess we will have to find something to stop that! She is talking more and more, she knows a few signs and it helps so... much! Here are a few pics haven't taken very many.. wierd for me i usually take a picture every day:) We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Elsinore, so much fun! Totally redneck as you can see the wrecked car in the back, but it was SO FUN! We got tons of pumpkins and abbey has a baby one that she loves to carry around! My mom and Ken also got her a U shirt, so I guess she is a U fan.. Lane and I don't really care so much, but I love the shirt, and so I guess she will like the Utes:)
