Our Morning Walks...

Easton, Brady, Trenton, Jaxon, Sammie, Bailee, Anna, and Hannah.
We love our morning walks with our friends! It gives me something to look forward to every day. We are so lucky that the weather is good enough here that we can bundle up the kids and go. We go on walks most mornings but on Mondays and Wednesdays we go to exercise group at the church where the kids run around the cultural hall while the mommies try to get in some exercise. It is so fun to have something to look forward to every morning to get us going. This is what we usually look like and sometimes there are more!

Sick AGAIN...

If you are wondering where I have been let me just tell you. I have been cleaning up throw up, washing sheets, washing pj's, changing poopy diapers, giving countless baths in a day and buying Pedialyte. Yep you guessed it, Brady has a horrible case of the flu. Poor kid has been so sick he can't even keep down the Pedialyte. It started Thursday and we thought he was better yesterday (we even went out to eat) but today he is even worse. We are seriously contemplating driving to St. George to go to the InstaCare because I am a little nervous he is dehydrated.

Anyway, our lives really have not been too exciting so I probably would have nothing to blog about but at least I have a good excuse for being MIA for a while. Maybe this week I will have something fun to blog about! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend more than I am :)

Gavin Dane Hill!

Happy Birthday to the sweetest 6 year old I have ever met. Gavin is a wonderful, smart and funny little boy whom I adore. He is a great cousin and so helpful with my kids whenever he is around. He always tells me, "Sarah your twins are so adorable." Gavin I hope you have a wonderful day and we are so excited you are moving closer to us soon!

Party Time!

On Saturday we went to a birthday party for Brady and Easton's friend William. It was at Gymboree and it was so much fun! They boys loved playing with their friends and were much more into it than the last time we went. It was also fun for Ryan and I to catch up with some friends we hadn't seen in a while. I pulled out my camera at the last minute and didn't even get a picture of the Birthday Boy but here a few I did get. Brady loved playing on the mats!Easton spent most of the time popping the bubbles. He was loving it!This is our friends adorable daughter Kenadee. I hope my little girls look like her!

Later that night we went to dinner with some other friends and then went and played games! It was a wonderful evening filled with good friends, good food and laughter!

A Little Bit More!

I had to work Christmas morning at 7:00 a.m. My family was so nice and let me wake them all up at 5:45 so we could start opening presents and be done in time for me to start working.

This is the only picture I have over Christmas of our little family. It is when we were walking up the stairs to see what Santa brought us. My kids were most excited about their new chairs and loved sitting in them. I felt bad that I had to wake them up so early and Easton was just not being himself. He was on fire and quickly fell asleep.

We opened all our presents and had a wonderful time. Ryan got me an ipod and went way over our budget but I love it and I am grateful he did it. I got Ryan a new pair of running shoes, not as exciting but very necessary! When we walked up the stairs this is what we saw standing there with Abbey's stocking. My mom is so funny...she saw it at the store and said she had to have it for Abbey. It stood there the entire week and every time I turned the corner it freaked me out cause it looked like a real
person. I worked and Ryan took the boys over to see his family. When he got home Easton was still on fire and just wanted to be held. We took his temperature and it was 102. We took a nap on the couch together. The rest of the day we just hung out and relaxed. Ryan ended up taking Eason to the doctor that night and he had a double ear infection, he was so miserable and we just could not break the fever.

We played the Wii and Kelsey, my mom and I were boxing. It was so funny but my mom won! I was rolling on the floor laughig...too bad my dad slep through it all. We had a wonderful Christmas and a great time in Utah but we are grateful to be home safely and back on a schedule!

Merry Christmas--Finally

Okay as I said, we had a fabulous time in Utah spending time with family and friends. My kids got sick, as they do every time we go, so that made it a little challenging but it was stil fun!

Ryan loved going to the game and spending time with his brothers and cousins. In fact, there was a little problem and they all ended up sleeping at our house. I guess there were 7 or 8 men sprawled all over our floors after the game. I am glad we weren't here for that!

We were so happy to be there to celebrate my mom's birthday and cheer the Cougars to victory! We spent Christmas Eve with Ryan's family and had so much fun! Ryan's dad always reads "Twas The Night Before Christmas" and he does it so well. All the kids gathered around to hear Grandpa Gary.

After that we went over to my parent's house for a sleepover. Renee and I had bought all the kids matching jammies...they looked so cute!My mom and dad gave the three kids these little trikes. They loved them so much and when we took them away they were all crying and throwing fits. They were a hit. Just call them Heaven's Angels.Okay I have just a few more things from Christmas morning but I will leave them for tomorrow. My kids just went down and I have got to go work. Sorry for the picture overload, it should make up for lost time!

I AM A BLOG SLACKER :(

I am so sorry I have not updated my blog in FOREVER. This usually happens when I go to Utah but this time has been particularly bad. Renee called and got mad at me today so I promise I will be better. Tomorrow I will post all our pictures from Christmas and the fun time we had in Utah! Thank you to all of our family (Hill's and McGiven's) and my special friends for making it a fun trip! We love you all and are so lucky to have you in our lives. I have been doing laundry, trying to work and get my kids back on a schedule today but look for a new and exciting post tomorrow! Happy New Year!
