pit in your stomach

you know that moment when you suddenly realize...

you forgot something huge

and you get a pit in your stomach
and your heart stops
and you almost wet your pants
and start to cry
all at the same time.

well i had one of those moments this morning.
(i suck)

i forgot to call my sister in law on her birthday.

(i suck)

see, my sister in law isn't just any other sister in law.

she is the best sister in law EVER!

she is
beautiful
fun
crafty
smart
hot
kind
caring
funny
an amazing mother
the list could go on and on...and on.

(i suck)

i feel ill.
because i love her being my sister. i love that she fits into our family so well. i love the way she loves my brother.(i suck) i love that she has dark hair and blue eyes. i love that she gave us macy. i love that she plays crazy games with my family. (i suck) i love that she is always cold. i love that she is my friend and listens to me complain about my life. (i suck)

I will be spending the rest of the year making up for my suckiness.
(now is the time to ask for a really expensive gift....because you'll for sure get it)

Happy Birthday Stefany

may all your wildest dreams come true!

OUR UTAH THANKSGIVING

We went to Utah for Thanksgiving...the roads were dicey and at times a little scarey but we were safe. We stayed with our good friends, Curt and Marianne Lybbert along with their son, Tristan. Thanksgiving day was great and we had such a good time. Then over the next few days we shopped, ate and even toured Temple Square. As you can see we had a great time...we did miss Becca, Ashton, Ella and Piper!!!

B is for bodacious

E is for energetic

C is for caring

C is for cool

A is for Andy's sister

Christmas List

I wanted it to be fair so we let Macy pick who buys for who.

Rachel buys for Piper
Stefany buys for Piper
Becca buys for Macy
Ashton buys for Macy
Andy buys for Ella
Sarah buys for Ella

Wait. That does not look right, I guess we will have to draw names, Macy cannot be trusted.

Rachel buys for Stefany
Andy buys for Becca
Stefany buys for Ashton
Sarah buys for Rachel
Becca buys for Sarah
Ashton buys for Andy

I know that some of these are repeats from birthday, but we used pink paper so we cannot change it.

Merry Christmas
