Michaels little buddy. Carson came over to Michael on Christmas morning while he was eating breakfast and said, "Michael, I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas" and gave him a big hug.





Santa and his elf even stopped by!

And drove away on the harley.






I always knew Santa had good taste. Sorry honey, maybe he'll sport a Weber sweatshirt next year.

Dan modeling his new batman underwear for us.

The first present us 3 couples recieved from Paula. "Is she trying to tell us something?" (we all thought.)

It was fun to watch all the little girls open their gifts.

Michael reading Pearl her little Princess books.

Sadie made these necklaces. I love mine, it means a lot to me.
Grandma Lillie Muhlestein with the family.

Look at Paula's Christmas Decor... isn't it beautiful?

Oh, Just Life

Have you ever felt like you are so stressed and have so much to do that it can't possibly all get done by you, the one person that everything is dependent upon to get done? Well, this has been me for the past few days... I guess you could say I was almost to the point of a nervous breakdown until.....





....michael comes home with these flowers in his arms. He really knows how to cheer me up, but what he doesn't know; how much this little gesture meant to me. Its amazing how something so simple can completely change your attitude about things. I just want him to know that he means so much to me. He is one of a kind, and that is why I love him.

What a weekend

My weekend consisted of...


Tending Ralph

A christmas harp recital at the Farmington Community Center
...including mine and 5 other
teachers students.
It went smoothly and was beautiful!
(55 students total)


Took a nap with the two little rascals


Spent time with darling little Malia.
~Check out her 80s leggings~

...and last but not least, had FHE at my parents Sunday night.

My mom made Cafe Rio salads for dinner (yum) & we

enjoyed the nativity story enacted by Wes & Jess' little family.

Jess-the narrator, Morgan-Mary, Wes-Joseph, Malia-baby Jesus, and Carson-did not want to participate :)

Michael was in St. George biking with two of his friends over the weekend. I'm glad to have him back, but next time I'm going to someplace warm and he can stay home where it's freezing cold. haha jk babe, you can come with me...maybe.
