Brooklyn Marie Hixson's Blessing Nov. 2010

Unfortunately for me and lucky for the camera shop...My camera of only 2 months decide to throw itself out of my finger and through a temper tantrum because I took it out into the snow. So pics from the past holidays are almost none exiting. But I'm thankful for many things not caught on camera.....

We had Emily's shower despite snowy weather and driving around a Road CLOSED sign, only to quickly decide they were right and snucked threw the back roads of Murtaugh to the interstate to make it to Burley.

The Shower was fun...

Thanksgiving was short beings we ran out of time at my mom's and work was calling my name WAY TO SOON. nothing like serving people on the holidays.

Black Friday...lets not even talk about that. The only thing that comes to mind is :

#1 I will never take the same approach again....

#2 I will never get over being cold......

#3I will never get over being cold.....

#4 I will never get over being cold.....

Taking off to Las Vegas to meet our sweet Brooklyn completed our weekend.....So sweet she is.....

The blessing was very nice and we are still here....no chance of ever coming back....by choice :)

More of the weekend to come later!!!!

(Trevor was trying to be helpful and hold the bottle)

I'm so glad we stayed so Kobe wouldn't have missed out on "dressing up" with Madison. Kobe climbed into our overnight bag. First dress up outfit ...he was sent quickly back up to the room to change. My bra around his neck, just didn't seem quite the right style. He pick out his assessories all by himself. Notice the clipped tie on the sleeve (bottom picture)...very clever. I was actually impressed with the ways he came up to tie the scarf all by himself. I was taking tips. The hat, also mine, he figured out how to "change" his "dress up" clothes by wearing different...."see mom now the buckles are in front".......

P.S Julie if you read this monday....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Hope they call me...

It's great to see little brothers grow up and even better when they decide to serve a mission.  I have seen such a difference him in just his preparing to leave. MOSTLY All Smiles. I just can't wait for him to return in two years.I just can't wait to see the changes two years will make.

I'm sooo jealous he'll be fluent in espanol!

We as a family were very excited. The boys each got a missionary tag to be like "Uncle Dustin" and we made a fun  "How to survive the MTC" package for him... now all we have to do is get the ball and keep start writing!!!!

Future Handsome Missionary

Te quiero,Elder Jones....Look out Mexico!!!

Left Out Trevor

Jason brought it to my attention I never posted anything about Trevor Turning 2!!! Well time just slips away and as Jason says "You have too many projects" Trevor I love you even though I never Posted! Trevor is so fun. He realllllly has gotten his own personality, yet a little of everyone in him.

We love it when you say "I wuv you", "Varroom Raroom", "I like it"....Your smile will melt any girls heart!


It's funny how you wouldn't know any different when  he wasn't here, but now you don't know what you  would do if he hadn't come. Just when you think you can't love another child as much as the first another one comes and somehow Your heart Love grows bigger. My two boys can be so similar yet they are soooo different. One thing is for sure They Are Mama's Boyzzz!

For now anyway

P.s. in my defense can i say i have tried to finish this post but nothing seems to work...pics especially....grrr Why would they turn if they were never like that in the first place. can't figure it out, none the less i have posted!
