Christmas is Here!!!

I just love Christmas, it is my favorite time of year! This year we all went and stayed at my moms house the night before Christmas Eve. It was so great to have everyone together. We just played cards and hungout all evening. Carson and Maci had a blast playing together! The next day was the best suprise of all, it snowed and it snowed, and it snowed. It was so pretty! We all bundled up and went out and played in it. We ad a snow ball fight and made a tiny snowman. Great times!

We had so much, it was so cold. Maci and Carson had a blast opening all the presents!

Christmas is so much more fun with little ones. They kept us entertained the whole time. They loved the Christmas tree that was just their size. The picked off the ornaments and chased each other around it.

We ended up getting snowed in at my mom's house for another night. We didn't mind it though cause we were having lots of fun! The next day we came home had Christmas the three of us then headed to Canton for Christmas with Brandons fam.

Maci was ready to open the presents as soon as we got there. This present isn't even hers, but she didn't care. I think she opened a few early. She pulled this teddy bear right out of the bag, she wasn't waiting.


Maci loved all the wrapping paper and bows more than she did her presents.

All the boys got robes for Christmas and the grls got pajamas and we got these great house shoes that were flipflops, love them.

We had a great Christmas! Always sad to see it end, but there is always next year!

Trip to see Whitney!!!

The first weekend in December, Felicia and I decided to go see Whitney. Whitney was one of our besties here in the states, but she moved back home to New Mexico. We needed some Whit time so we loaded the kids up on the plane and took off. Felicia and I were very brave for taking three kids on a plane two of them being held in our laps. Suprisingly they all did great. Maci was a little wiggly but overall she did better than I thought she would. Whitney and her family picked us up at the airport, camille and mlie ran towards each other it was very sweet. I had no idea what a great host Whit was going to be. She had everything planned out. She was 7 months pregnant and she was cooking, cleaning, and catering to us. She was fantastic! I can't wait to go back again soon. our first night there we went to dinner and then came back to Whits house. Her house was totally new mexico style, it had a flat roof. It was super cold and there was a little snow on the ground. The kids got in there pajamas and played with toysand dressed up. They were having so much fun!




Our first day Whitney took us to Explora, a science museum. The kids loved it. Coley and Maci had the most fun in the Knee-High Science room.



I think the girls favorite part was the bubbles. I know it was Maci's fav because she cied when we left it.


The kids did everything together even took a bath.....


I tried to put Maci in the bath too, but she was having it. She wanted to play from the outside. The kids wrote all over the bath with crayons, well I helped them a little bit. They has so many toys in the bath and we didn't take them out that night. Felicia took a sower the next morning with a bath full of toys, silly girl. While taking her shower she had to cleanup the mess the kids and I made on the walls. It is always nice when you make a mess and dont have to clean it, LOL. Thanks Felicia!



The last night we were there went went to old town and had dinner and walked and looked at the big Christmas tree in downtown!





We had a blast together! We miss you already Whitney, come see us soon. We will always be life long friends! I love Felicia and Whit and their girls! BFFE!

Thanksgiving 2009

Wow, I have so much to be thankful for! I am most thankful for of course Jesus our savior for making everything I have possible. He has blessed me with a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter. They are the most important things in my life next to Jesus. My life is full of joy because of these two wonderful people. Everyday is full of new adventures with our precious little Maci. She is a very loving and happy baby that has changed my life for the better. I just love you, Macers!


We started our Thankgiving celebrations in Tyler Texas. Brandons family came and joined us at a SilverLeaf resort for a few days. We had alot of fun just spending time together. We had lots of great food and lots of laughs. We went hiking, bike riding, throwed the football, and played with Maci on the playground. We had lots of fun!

After spending time with Brandons family in Tyler we headed for more Bell family time in Canton. We stayed there one night and all his family came over and we had a big Lasanga Thanksgiving feast, it was yummy! The next day we headed back our way for time at my moms house for more Thanksgiving fun!

My mom is the best mom in the whole world! She is my best friend, I love you mom! My mom worked all day cooking us a big huge traditional Thanksgiving meal. Her cooking is the best! Maci loved the ham! My favorite is my moms stuffing, yum yum. We stuffed our faces!

Brandon definitely wins the award for eating the most food! I am not sure where it all goes, I guess he has a hole in his leg! Carson and Maci had alot of fun playing together, they are best buddies!

We had a great holiday! I just love my precious family so much!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall Fun 2009

We have been having so much fun the past two months. I just love the holidays! We went to Trunk or Treat at our church on Halloween. Maci and I were both angels, so cute! I was so proud of her for keeping her halo on the whole night, I guess she new she looked cute! She had so much fun with her cousin Carson. She loves him so much, maybe too much. Carson was the cutest pirate I have ever seen. They loved walking eveywhere with their Gamma.

Carson really enjoyed playing all the games and getting prizes. Maci just liked going up and taking the candy, wasn't much into the games. She is addicted to sugar already! This can't be a good ,where are the parents? LoL! Really though all she likes to eat is sweet stuff and an occasional turkey hotdog. I have a picky eater. Brandon had to work a booth at Trunk or Treat so we didn't see him much but we did manage to get a few pictures of him. He didn't dress up, how boring! He was actually going to be Rusty from camp but the suit wasn't up at the church like he thought.

Isn't Brandon lucky to have two sweet angels!LOL! We had a ton of Fun at trunk or treat and can't wait to go back again next year!
