Christmas Time

Christmas time was so great this year!! All of my siblings were able to get together at my parents house and we also had Yuyi's sister Mbuyu with us. We all had a great time together playing games, eating, visiting, watching movies, and lots of laughing! It was so fun seeing all the kids opening presents and playing together, I love my family so much!!!

Kobe's Preschool Christmas Program

I am so far behind of posting this is from the beginning of December, Kobe's preschool class did a Christmas program and here are some videos and pics from it. He did a really good job and knew all the songs. He was fun to watch and we were so proud of him!!

My amazingly talented friend Carli took these pictures of our sweet baby girl. I love them all so much! Thanks Carli

Happy Birthday Sweet Briggs!

Briggs turned 2 on November 30, I cannot believe that my little boy is 2 already! It is crazy how each year goes by so quickly. We celebrated his birthday a week before his actual day because Yuyi had to leave for TX before his birthday. He had a little party with the neighbor kids, my parents, and aunt Lisa. He is OBSESSED with Lightening McQueen right now so he had a Cars party and got lots of fun cars toys! Auntie Lisa made a super cute Cars cake for our little man. All in all it was a fun day!

Introducing...

Elsie Violet
Born 11/16
6 lbs. 10 oz.
18.5 inches

We are so glad that baby Elsie finally made her appearance! I thought she would come early like her brothers but I carried her 39.5 weeks. My labor and delivery was super fast, I was at a 5 at 7:30 when the doc. came into break my water and she was born at 8:35. Elsie came so quickly that I did it naturally and the doctor wasn't even in the room, the nurse delivered her! I'm gratful for a fast and easy delivery and a healthy baby girl!

Halloween 2011

We had a fun Halloween this year! A few weeks before Halloween the boys and I made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. They had so much fun and Briggs especially loved the cow train (he cried for about 20 min. after leaving because he didn't want to leave the train). It was a fun day but I was worn out by the time we got home. For Halloween we went to the rec. center's mayors walk and carnival and then hit the ward party, the boys got tons of toys and candy and had a great holiday!!

A New Adventure!

We'll we are being transferred to... Houston TX!!! Yuyi starts Dec. 1st but I will wait until the end of Jan. to move with the kids. We are excited for this change but sad to leave our good friends here in Vernal. We are also sad to move so far away from family but we know that this is where we are supposed to be. Yuyi will still be working for Halliburton but his new position will be an Engineering Adviser and will be working with the sells team. The best part for me is he will be working M-F, so we will have the weekends together!!!! Here's to a new place and start for the Yuyi's!
