Merry Christmas

2011-12-21T16:10:00.001-08:00

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Life is flying by but we are holding on tight and enjoying the ride. We love the Christmas season and the feeling that it brings. We enjoy being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior and are really trying to take the time to remember the true meaning of Christmas! We love this gospel and being members of the LDS church. We hope this past year has been wonderful for you and that the next year will be even better!
Love The Hutchins

Gibson and Hallee love the snow and sledding is their favorite!

Little Emerson is growing like a weed and we are enjoying every minute. He is smiling all the time and is starting to laugh, his siblings love making him giggle. I love it!

Halloween

2011-12-01T12:20:00.000-08:00

Emerson was a pumpkin :)

Hallee was a ladybug :)

And Gibson was a knight. Him and his dad made the shield and the sword for him, he loved it!!!

Gibson and his friend Will Roper. We had a ton of fun, the kids got way to much candy and it was so nice and warm!

Summer in a nut shell

2011-11-17T14:16:00.000-08:00

Our summer in a nut shell. Mostly just for me to remember some of the fun things we did this summer!!!

We had the Passes of all Passes so we went to Trafalga in Orem. It was fun but Anthony and Gibson had a lot more fun then Hallee and I. Hallee was to little to do much and I was prego. We did a lot of watching which was fine cause I was fun to watch Gibson face he was loving it!!! He's favorite was the go carts and the rock climbing!

We also went to Seven Peaks a couple of times with our passes. The kids loved it, anything that has to do with water they never think twice. It was so much fun!!! Hallee loved the slides to but I couldn't get a pic cause Anthony would send her down and I would catch her. We had a ton of fun!!!

Anthony's little bro AJ got married to Shay. She is like my 4th cousin pretty cool! Our family on the wedding day. :)

Gibson told me he was headed out back to hunt elk. So I told him to get dressed and have fun and when I went out to check on him this is how I found him. What I boy he makes me laugh none stop!!!

Took a quick camping trip up Fillmore canyon. I love living so close to the mountains, its so nice to be up there in like 10 mins. My kids are entertained all day long by fishing and playing in the dirt, they love it!!! We also hiked to Moss Falls. We didn't get really close cause of me being prego and Hallee being little, but they are still pretty from far away. :)

The Newest Addition

2011-10-17T21:18:00.000-07:00

We added a new member to our family and we couldn't be more excited!!! Little Emerson arrived bright and early on September 29th at 5:31 am, weighing 6 lbs 5 oz and 19.5 inches. He came fast and ferious, we got to the hospital around 4:20 and he was here about an hour later. What a blessing this sweet little guy has been. We love him so much and are so happy to have him in our family!!!

Mr. Bright Eyes 2 days old.

Gibson and Hallee love him so much and are always wanting to hold him and be by him! Giving him tons of hugs and kisses. :) He handles all the love and noise very well.

Emerson 2 weeks old!!! He weighed 7 lbs. He is a great sleeper and eater and growing like a weed. It makes me sad how fast the time goes by and how much he is changing everyday, but i am loving it!

I love my kids so much and i am so grateful for them in my life! They definatly keep me on my toes everyday. :) I am so grateful for my husband who works so hard so that I can stay home with our kids. I love being with them, seeing and hearing the funny things they say and do. I'm so glad they have come to my home and for eternal families so we can be together forever!

School Time

2011-09-13T17:27:00.001-07:00

Gibson is in Preschool this year! WOW where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday he was born. He goes to Miss Christy's preschool and he loves it! He asks me everyday if it is a school day. I'm not sure who misses him more Hallee or I? He is on his 3rd week so we are starting to getting use to it. We love you Gibby and are so happy that you get to go learn and make new friends! :)

I had to take a picture of him walking in, because he told me he was a big boy and could do it himself. :( Yes I cried!!!

Gibson with his teacher Miss Christy (And Kyle and Hallee)

My sister made and found these cute letters, so of course I had to take some pictures with them too. Because I thought it was a cute idea!!!

And of course Hallee had to get in on the action. They got creative and we took some pictures with the letters different ways.

Swimming Lessons

2011-07-06T14:49:00.001-07:00

Gibson loves swim lessons!!! He did awesome and was so good for his teachers! I am glad my kids love the water, though it is a challenge keeping them out of it where ever we go.

Gibson going under water :)

Going down the slide

Jumping off the diving board that was his favorite part!

And of course Hallee screamed the whole 2 weeks because she wanted to get in with the kids. So on the last day (and no I didn't have her swim suit) sweet Aunt Terri let he get in and she was in Heaven!!!

Hallee going down the slide with G-ma Jacci

Gibson going down the slide! Terri was catching him at the bottom, so she backed up because most kids come flying down and sit on your face. But Gibson held on tight to the side and just dropped right in the water. Terri went under to get him she said it was so funny he had is eyes wide open, legs a kicking and arms straight going up and down, like we was going to fly like a bird. But it didn't scare him at all he jumped out and wanted to go again!!!

Disneyland & The Beach

2011-07-05T12:35:00.001-07:00

My parents took the whole family to Disneyland!!! We went down over Memorial weekend and had a blast! It was wonderful we couldn't have asked for better weather and lines everything was great! So yes I am a little behind but I have been waiting for a current someone to get me some more pictures hint ;) hint ;). But I figured I had enough to blog with and I will warn you now there are quite a few pictures.

A little pit stop in Vegas. Gibson is in love with Dinosaurs and he wanted his picture with it. So I had all the kids jump in.

Our 1st day was traveling, getting settled in the hotel and then an evening at Newport Beach. It was fun but super windy, so sand was going everywhere. Gibson didn't like the water a lot it was really salty and he said it was burning his skin, which my legs were burning a little. Hallee was just the opposite she couldn't get enough of it, a big wave would cover her whole body getting in her eyes and mouth and she would still keep going back. Gibson wanted to build Timmy the turtle so we did he was so excited!

Gotta love the Dumbo ride!

Buzz Lighter Year ride this was one of Gibson's favorites. He thought the guns were so cool!

They emailed this pic to me and yes I look so serious but I am all about winning. (jk) But for some reason Anthony and Gibson's didn't work?

Gibson's and I on the Jungle ride.

I had to take a picture of this ice cream shop I thought the name was fun.

And of course we had to go on the carousel.

Gibson loves the movie "Sword and the Stone". He tried for quite a while to get it out.

Trapped in a cage. Ha ha she was always wanting to be on the other side of the fence.

Anthony, Gibson and Hallee on the Tea Cups. They loved them!

Been playing a little to hard and couldn't fight it any longer!

A little splash pad in Bugs Life Land. It was so nice the kids could run around and get cool in the water.

Tuck and Roll bumper cars!

After the 3D Bugs Life movie. I had to get a picture of us with our bug eyes!!!

Goofy the one character we got a pic with. There was a parade going on so no lines it was great!

It's a small world ride.

Chip and Dales Tree house in Toon Town. I don't have a pic but I have to tell the story so I will always remember it. We went the Go Go Gadget Coaster which you only have to be 35" tall so we thought it would be fine. Gibson loved it the whole time he had his hands in the air just a smiling, but Kaden on the other hand was terrified. He scream the whole time and I'm sure almost peed his pants. :)

Gibson loves Car so of course he had to get a picture with Mater and McQueen!

Waiting in line for the 3D Toy Story ride. It was the longest wait and the kids did awesome!

Another family picture in California Adventure!

I wanted to get a picture in front of the castle with my prince charming!!!

Sunday we went to church, relaxed, saw the Newport Beach Temple and played at the park. We had a picnic, feed the ducks, watched the turtles and played on the playground.

The last day we went to Corona Del Mar Beach and it was a Blast. The water was warm, we saw dolphins and played in the tide pools. Uncle B found a star fish and Gibson wanted to hold it. Uncle Randon also found some crabs, one was really big it got out of the bucket and Gibson and Kaden were screaming like someone was trying to kill them. It was hilarious!!! It was a wonderful time, I love being able to spend time with my family making these wonderful memories! Thanks a million Mom and Dad for such a great vacation, our family can't wait to go back. :)

Suprise Suprise

2011-05-24T15:16:00.000-07:00

Well for those of you who don't know yet, we are expecting baby #3 at our house on Oct. 14th 2011! We found out that Gibson and Hallee will be getting a baby BROTHER!!! We are super excited and hope that when he arrives he will be strong and healthy. It has been a big suprise but we couldn't be more happy! Life is going great, I am so grateful for our family!!!

Easter

2011-05-24T14:54:00.000-07:00

Not a lot of pics I still need to get them from my sis, but I thought I would do a few. For Easter this year we went out to the thermal springs and boiled eggs, had a picnic, shot and rolled eggs. It was a lot of fun but super cold! And of course we colored eggs the night before. I love Easter and that we get to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. I am so glad our Savior was willing to die for us so we can be forgiven of our wrong doings. Love this church and for the knowledge we have of forever families!!!

Quick Pics

2011-05-05T14:00:00.000-07:00

Amber was down a couple weeks ago and she has been learning how to take pictures so she snapped a couple of my kids. I thought they turned out cute and wanted to share. Thanks Amber!!!

Hallee's 1st Birthday

2011-04-26T11:58:00.000-07:00

Hallee's 1st Birthday was on March 18th, yes I'm a little behind. We ate dinner and had cake and ice cream. Thanks everyone who came and supported Hallee bug. She was not feeling the best so we didn't get alot of smiling pictures, or pictures at all.

Grandma Jacci helped Hallee open her presents. She got lots of fun stuff, clothes, toys, blanket, a swing. The swing is her favorite!!! It is Gibson's too!!

Anthony had to help her taste it before she would eat it and even then it wasn't alot.

We are so blessed to have Hallee in our lives and are so grateful to be her parents. She is a little ball of fire always on the move. The only time she is still is if she is eating or sleeping. We LOVE her so much!!!!!

Happenings

2011-03-30T19:59:00.001-07:00

We went up to Ogden a couple weeks ago to hangout with Anthonys fam. We went bowling and when we came out there were millions of ducks and geese. So we went and got some bread to feed them, and Gibson loved it! Every day he tells me we need to go back and feed the ducks. We might have to get some bread and head out to Ropers barn tomorrow? We went on a fun little Sat. adventure up the canyon. Enjoying the sunshine!!! Hallee enjoying some good Country Time!!! Grandpa Bevan took the kids on a 4-wheeler ride that day! Also we have some new members in our family. 5 new little puppies!!! Gibson loves them he takes them everywhere in the yard with him and he has named everyone. The poor things they have been through alot :)

Our House well for now?

Gibson's 3rd Birthday

2011-02-12T13:37:00.000-08:00

My little boy turned 3 on Feb. 6th. Wow where has the time gone!!! He wanted a "How To Train Your Dragon" Party. And let me tell you it was hard because everything was sold out. But luckily I found some stuff.

Hallee, Elsie & Grandpa Bevan

Toothless footprints leading to the house!!!

Gibson and Paige checking out the "Dragon Juice". The kids thought it was cool!!! (I love dry ice.) When we let them drink it Paige said "This isn't Dragon Juice, this is root beer."

Taking some swings at the Pinata. For like 4 months all Gibson has said he wanted was a pinata!!!

He got a ton of presents and was spoiled!!! Thank you everyone who came and support Gibson's Birthday Party!

The Birthday Cake!!! Gibson said he's favorite thing about the party was Toothless on his cake. Such little things that make kids happy. I love this boy so much and I am so glad we are blessed to have him in our lives. He says the funniest things and is to smart for he's own good. We love you Gibby!!!

Car Wreck

2011-01-24T15:32:00.001-08:00

Well about a month ago I got in a car wreck on Dec 30th. There was me and my kids. We were headed down to see Anthony riding horses. It was snowing pretty good. And I'm sure you can't guess what happened, a girl from Riverton ran the yield sign (they think she was going about 45 mph) and of course there was no stopping for either of us cause of the snow. My dad and Anthony said the snow was a good thing cause it allowed my car to slide when she hit. It helped with the impact so not as much damage as there could have been. It was a scary experience, I have never been in a wreck before so yes I was an absolute wreck myself. I couldn't stop crying for the life of me, mostly just worried about my kids. But as you can see once I got the doors open (which was not to hard from my adrenaline) they wont close. The running board is a bent up really good and it moved my drivers seat over a good couple of inches. They said there for a while it could possibly be totaled. But once we got it in the shop, they said they could fix it. Don't worry everyone was fine in both cars. I wanted to post this so when I look back I can remember how grateful I am for my Heavenly Father looking out for me and my children that night!

Of course I have to put pictures of my kids on!!! Gibson having a hay day decorating cupcakes for aunt Jacie B-day!!! And miss Hallee riding on her new walker!!!

Holiday in a nut shell

2011-01-08T15:15:00.000-08:00

Christmas Tree hunting it was a lot of fun!!! But really cold the evidence is Hallee's red nose.

Gibson & Kaden playing super heros!!!

Gibson liking Hallee's toys more then his own.

We had a great Christmas!!! I love spending time with family, enjoying the snow, lights, hot coco. etc. But the best part was celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful to him for being willing to come to this earth and atone for our sins, so I can be forgivin of my short comings. I am so grateful to be a member of church and for the knowledge that I have of life after death. And that if I live right I can be with my family forever. I love the quote by M. Russell Ballard "What matters most is what last the longest, and family is forever." I love being a mom and wife. I love my Heavenly Father and Savior with all my heart. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season and felt the Saviors love and will feel it in the year to come!!!

I love them more then anything in the world.

Our little mermaid!!!

Our Pirate!!!

We had a great Halloween! We went to the ward Trunk or Treat, enjoyed some yummy soup and great company! Gibson was so funny he never really wanted to say trick or treat but he would always say Thank you. What a sweet heart!!! After that we went and visited our other family that weren't there and then ended the night with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate and a movie!!! And I can't forget to say thanks to my wonderful mom for making my kids costumes she is incredible!!!

All by himself

2010-10-28T14:59:00.000-07:00

Of course I had to throw in a picture of Hallee. My favorite little girl!!!

Well anyway the reason for this post. A couple weeks ago I was cutting Anthony and my dads hair. We were all just sitting out on the back porch talking, while I was cutting. And all the sudden we heard the wonderful sound of the buzzer. (I have a smaller one for trimming around the ears and neck.) Anyway this is the one Gibson got ahold of and need I say more? He cut his own hair right in the front, right to the scalp and YES right before our FAMILY PICTURES!!! This little boy keeps me on my toes I never know what he is going to do next?

Lake Powell

2010-10-14T11:49:00.000-07:00

So for the 1st time in my life our family went to Lake Powell (Yes I said the 1st time) Thanks to Jacie, Randon & the Dyreng family. It was a blast!!! We went the 2nd weekend in Sept. and it was so nice the water they said was on the cooler side. But for me I didn't know the difference. The weather was wonderful!!!

My mom & dad floating in the water and soakin up some rays!!!

By the look of those legs I would have to say they are Randons. Hitting the water after going down the side head first!!!

Good ol Grandpa Bevan doin what he does best. Lovin on the grand kids!!!

Amber, Brayden & Austin jumping of the top!!! Don't you love how it goes highest, medium and then lowest. I thought it was pretty cool!

Austin fell down while pushing the truck and got a gotee. Doesn't it make him look so manly!!!

Zoo

2010-09-30T12:15:00.001-07:00

Gibson had been talking about all these different kinds of animals so, we decided to take a trip to the Zoo. We planned on going at the begging of summer but as always it flew by. Gibson pretends everyday he is shooting a turkey (thanks uncle Randon). He loved them!!!

Gibson checking out the monkeys with his binoculars. And yes they are backwards, I always tell him to turn them around and he refuses. SO oh well.

Just a few of the animals.

We took a ride on the carousel. Gibson loved it, he wouldn't get off!!!

Miss Hallee spent most the time in the stroller. She is such a good baby!!!

Gibson feeding the swan and yes don't worry he helped eat some of its food. He makes me laugh all day long.

Gibson wasn't to sure what to think of this elephant!!!

It was a great family day. I love being able to go out and show my kids all the different things.

Hallee's 1st Swim

2010-08-31T21:14:00.000-07:00

Hallee's 1st swim and she loved it!!! She loves the water, splashing around and kicking her feet. And I just love her cute little bathing suit! (Thank heaven for good uncles who were willing to go with me and help out.)

I had to throw this in. Anthony and I were laying on our bed talking and Gibson was playing at the bottom. He stood up and said "look at me I have dimples". He had put some tp in his ears. Ha ha oh what a boy!!!

Moss Falls

2010-08-03T08:54:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago Anthony and I had a date night. We rode the 4-wheeler up the canyon, had a picnic and hiked to moss falls. Anthony and I have almost been married 4 yrs and he informed me awhile ago that he had never been there, so I took him. :) My family does it about once a summer. (Guess we have been slacking the last couple of years.) It is so pretty!!! There are so many different waterfalls and moss everywhere. If you have never been and you like waterfalls and hiking I would recommend it. It is a pretty neat place up Fillmore canyon!

Fish Lake

2010-07-22T11:33:00.000-07:00

Hallee wasn't so sure about being in a life jacket?

Kayaking was the little boys favorite part.

My fav was the tubing!!! I love it!!!

Gibson loves swimming in the dirt!

I caught a fish, yes it is a little one. But it is a fish! I would send the camera with Anthony to take one of Gibson catching a fish. But as you can tell he didn't. :(

Hallee and Elsie napped most of the time.

The boys played a game of baseball. With a stick and a ping pong ball that they found.

And of course I had to put one of Hallee cute smile!!!

We had a great time at Fish Lake. Camping, fishing, EATING and of course just being with the family. We also saw like 100 pelicans on Johnson's Lake, it was awesome. But I didn't have my camera. I was so sad!!!

Happy 4th

2010-07-12T16:57:00.001-07:00

Hallee enjoyed the parade from inside in the cool air.

Gibbie and his dad had a good time on the mechanical bull! Ye ha

I just love this picture of Anthony and Hallee smiling at each other.

Gibson going down his cousin blow up water slide. He was so sad to leave, thanks for having us over!

Gibson and Brayden running around before the fireworks.

Gibson loved the fireworks! He said his favorite ones were the pink ones!

We had a great 4th of July! It was a great day, wonderful weather. We had a BBQ and just had a lot of fun spending time with the family!

B-day!!!

2010-07-08T14:41:00.000-07:00

For my Birthday we went up the canyon. My wonderful husband took off the afternoon to prepare one of my favorites dutch oven chicken & potaotes. And OH was it so so so so GOOD! He also made a cake, what a sweet heart. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my B-day then with people that I love so much! Thanks for such a great day!

And here is the cook himself. I love you babe!

The back truck riders.

Oh Gibbie he had quite the story to tell. What a boy!

Gibson couldn't even wait for one pic to dig into the frosting. Ha ha

Some of the crew.

And I couldn't forget our sweet little Hallee.

What we've been up to.....

2010-06-30T15:42:00.000-07:00

Gibson found this hat at the swimming pool and he loves wearing it around. He is always making us laugh!

Hallee is 3 months old now. Time is just flying by and she is changing so much each day. And she is such a blessing to have in our family.

We took the boat out for the first time this summer. It was a ton of fun, we love the water!!!

Gibson playing in the flour. I used to do this all the time when I was little. Ha ha

My little cowboy!!!

For cousin Kadens b-day we went to jumping jacks. It was so much fun!

Anthony took Gibson on a horse ride. And he was so proud that Gibson was riding on his own horse.

Triathlon

2010-06-10T16:16:00.000-07:00

Well about 2 weeks ago, I did a Triathlon. (The one that the Coats do). Along with Anthony, my dad & mom. We didn't train at all, we decided like a week before that we should try it. And you know what it was a lot of fun. You might think I am crazy but I enjoyed every minute of it. There were definitely times that I was really tired but I kept on going. I really enjoyed they had put quotes up all along the run. It just amazes me how you can do anything that you put your mind to. Like they say "mind over matter". I was a great experience!!! Thanks you guys that did it with me, for letting me talk you into it. :)

Hallee's Blessing

2010-05-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

Hallee was blessed 2 weeks ago. Anthony did a great job!!! It was a wonderful day. We are so excited to have her in our family. Thanks everybody for coming and helping with the food. But I would love to especially thank my mom for all her help. The dress that Hallee was blessed in is a very special dress, it was made for her by her Grandma Jacci.

Now & Then

2010-05-10T08:46:00.000-07:00

A little while ago our neighbors got a puppy. So after that Gibson thought that he needed one. He would say "I need a puppy", it was so cute! So we decided he could have one. It is half boarder collie and red healer. We named her to tootsie roll cause she looks like one, but we call her toots. We had another dog LeRoy he was such a good dog. We would put them together so the puppy wouldn't whine at night, he took really good care of her. 2 weeks ago on Sunday the neighbors came over to inform us that LeRoy had been hit by a car. Luckily he was killed instantly, so hopefully he didn't suffer to long. It was a very sad day, I think I cried for like 3 hrs. I just have to think of it as he is in a better place and doesn't have to be chained up anymore. Thanks for being part of our family LeRoy. We Love you!!! You may think I am crazy but I wanted to write about it so I will always remember our great dog LeRoy.

Dino Tracks

2010-05-03T08:31:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago our family went to St. George to enjoy some nice weather and celebrate my dads d-day. It was a lot of fun. For most of the day Miss Hallee just slept.

We went to a little water park. The kids loved it!!! There was this little girl there and she would just sit and stare at Nemo and the turtle on Gibson's swimming suit. It was so funny. She would follow him around and try to grab them. She was so cute.

Gibson not knowing for sure if he want to get to close.

Kaden on the other hand was brave and went right in, but then he wasn't to sure if he liked it. Can't you tell by the face. Ha ha ha!

Dad & Gibson enjoying the water park.

We stuck Hallee's feet in the water. Yeah she wasn't to sure about it.

Dad enjoying his princess and his little boy. He is such a great dad!!!

Gibson running around like a crazy man!

Gibson & the Birthday boy. (Grandpa of course)

After the water park we headed to another park that wouldn't be so crazy to eat dinner and some cake. I left my camera in the car so I don't have any pics. Yes I am mad at myself. After that we headed to the dinosaur tracks and along the way we saw this huge rattle snake. I hate SNAKES!!!

Here is the awesome dino track.

Our little family pointing at it.

The crazy 2, they play so good together.

The boys with their uncle B. They love him so much!

Pictures

2010-04-21T09:48:00.000-07:00

My cousin took pictures of Hallee for me, and i love them! She was about 2 weeks old. Now she is 5 weeks old. Sorry I'm so slow.

Of course Anthony thought she needed her first picture on the saddle. As you can tell she didn't like it very much.

One of my FAVORITES!!!

She was a sweetheart and snapped a couple of Gibson. He wasn't really liking it until his dad brought out the saddle and cowboy hat!!!

What a tricky boy!!!

Napping & a little more...

2010-04-19T09:09:00.000-07:00

Gibson taking a nap and are you wondering what that big bump is.....

Yes it is a giant ball! He wanted it in bed with him to take a nap. And yes he fell asleep before I could get sheets on his bed. I'm still learning how to adjust to 2 kids.

Anthony and Hallee taking a nap. So sweet!!!

Gibson wanted to catch bugs to put in his bug catcher. Well he had me catch them, he wouldn't touch them. He was scared of a little fire bug, what a boy!!!

He also got to fly his kite that he got for Easter, he thought that was cool.

Of course I had to put one of Miss Hallee Bug awake. She is getting to were she is staying awake for about 15 mins instead of 5. She is growing and changing so fast but she is so much fun!!! This is her at a month old, time goes way to fast.

Weekend Fun

2010-04-15T10:39:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday we took a quick trip up to Midway. Anthony's parents were up there and wanted us to come visit for a day. It was fun. Little Hallee, she is getting so big. They grow so fast!!!

There was this fun Carousel we got to ride. The kids loved it!

The Swiss man who managed the carousel. I liked his outfit! (ha ha ha)

Lovin the ride!!!

Anthony didn't want Hallee to fill left out, so we jumped on to join the fun!

A little house just the size of Gibson.

They also had a giant checkers and ches set.

Of course Gibson loved the horse piece!!!

They had some cool ice sculptures.

Of course we had to go swimming. Gibson didn't want to leave. He is such a fish!!!!

Hallee got to sit by the side of the pool and sleep.

2010-04-12T13:56:00.000-07:00

Anthony made this cradle for Hallee. It is made out of cherry wood. I love it, it is so beautiful!!! Thanks for all the hard work Anthony!

I made this quilt for Hallee. It is a turning twenty, my cousin Christy had made one for her little girl and I loved it!!! I am not much of a sewer, but luckily i had the help of my wonderful mom. And I did it and I really enjoyed it!!!

Anthony and his princess Hallee.

For like a week straight Gibson would want to read this every day, like 10 times a day.

Gibson wasn't happy, so he went and hid under the rug in the Kitchen. What a boy I love him so much!!!

Lately when we watch a movie this is what Gibson does. He pulls his arms and legs in his shirt and just sits there. Ha ha ha

Easter Fun

2010-04-06T17:01:00.001-07:00

We started off the Easter weekend by coloring eggs on Thursday night. It was a lot of fun! Gibson loved it he could not get enough! Anthony would try to help him and he would say "myself". What a boy Mr. Independent!

On Friday we went to the Swimming Pools Easter/Birthday Party. They had egg dives, the kids would get the eggs and they had little toys and money in them. It was really FUN!!! Anthony being the sweet heart he is and knowing how much i love swimming stayed at home with Hallee. I was a little late because Hallee had her 2 week Dr. appointment that day. She was 6 lbs 4 oz 19 inches. As healthy as can be!!!!

Gibson loves uncle Randon!

Gibson got some really fun stuff from the Easter Bunny! A dump truck, bubbles, water gun, kite, a boat for the tub, a bunny the hops, some chalk, swim suit, church outfit, a spring outfit and way to much CANDY!!!

Hallee got pjs, a swim suit, rabbit, a chick that hops, a spring outfit and a church outfit. We were not for sure if she would be born yet?

This is what Hallee did while the rest of the kids did the Egg Hunt.

Gibson loved finding the eggs, he was so proud of himself when he would find one!!!

I LOVE this picture!!!

On Saturday all the boys went to the Priesthood session up north, so us girls and the kids went to the sand dunes. Oh did Gibson love it, he is the sand king. He is always in the sand box. We had a great time!!!

Rolling our Easter eggs down the hill.

Me thinking I could ride the little car down the hill. It didn't work it just sunk in the sand.

Gibson absolutely LOVED his new DUMP TRUCK!!!

This is what Ms. Hallee did for Easter, slept in the car. It was nice I was able to sit by the car so I could hear her but was able to play with Gibson too!!!

I love Easter time!! What made it even better this year was conference and being able to listen to our church leaders. I am so grateful for our Savior and that he died for us, so that we can be forgiven and return back to live with him and our Father in Heaven again. I hope everyone had a great Easter. Because we sure did!!!

Hallee is HERE!!!

2010-03-24T17:00:00.000-07:00

The love of a Father. He is one proud dad!

Hallee was born March 18th, 11:00 pm. She weighed 5 lbs 8 oz and was 18 inches long. She is so beautiful! We are so grateful that she is here and everything is fine. She already has her dad wrapped around her little finger. And Gibson is such a good big brother. We were a little worried of how he would take it but he has done great! He is always wanting to kiss her and hold her hand. I am so grateful she came to our family. The Lord has blessed our little family beyond measure in so many ways. It is hard going back to those sleepless nights, but it is totally worth it. When I get to be with her and know that she has just came from heaven.

Look at those handsome Boys!

Anthony helping Gibson hold Hallee, he is such a good dad!

Hallee 5 days old!

This just melts my heart!

Happiness is....

The Amazing Race Valentines Edition

2010-02-21T09:27:00.000-08:00

So on Valentines week Anthony and I were invited to a dinner. Well that's all Anthony thought it was. He he he! I told him he had to be ready to go at 6 pm and from there instead of going to the Sagers house, I dropped him off at the church with some other men. They were going to do "The Amazing Race Valentine edition."

So Sally showed up at the church after they were all there. Took away all of their cell phones and wallets, gave them a car and each a baggie of $2 in change! They got their 1st clue and they were off.....

1- The Sunrise Office, where they had to find their uniforms (Sunday Clothes), they were hidden around the office.

2- The Family Dollar where they each had to buy their wives a a gift! (with the $2 in change)

3- Katy's Hair Salon. Where they were suppose to do there hair, you know with gel and all. That's it! But some of the men decided to buzz their hair really short or into a Mohawks. And yes my husband was one that did the Mohawk!

4- Elementary School where they took a "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" test and made us a card.

5- The High School to find the last clue and it was taped to the top row of the football bleachers.

Last- They came to Sally's house where we had dinner ready for them!

Oh and they had a video camera through all of this so it was on tape. We watched it while we ate our delicious dinner! We had a great time and hope everyone else did too. Thanks for inviting us Sally!

Here are some pictures of Anthony's hair. He will probably kill me for putting them on here, but oh well I think it is funny!

32 Weeks

2010-02-10T10:38:00.000-08:00

Some of you asked me if I would post a picture of me. So here it is, I am 32 weeks along. I have 8 more weeks to go til April 5th the due date. It is so crazy how fast time has gone by. I can't wait for this little girl to be here with us, but I am a little nervous of how I will handle 2 kids. But I know it can be done cause I have seen all the other moms out there do it!

Happy Birthday Gibson!

2010-02-06T07:42:00.001-08:00

Well today is Gibson's 2nd Birthday! I can not believe that he is already 2, it blows my mind. Man time has flown by so fast. This little guy has brought so much love & joy into our lives. He is always such a happy little boy and always making us laugh. And he is always on the move and into something. Here's a little about Gibson, his favorite foods I would have to say are Cheese & Chocolate. His favorite books are "How do Dinosaurs say Goodnight?" & "Not Norman". He loves to play with his toy swords and stick horse. More than anything he loves to be outside with the dogs and the horses or in the sand box. And he absolutely LOVES going to nursery! What else can I say besides he is just a little ball of fire! I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father blessed me with Gibson and I have the privilege of being his mom! I love him with all of my heart! Happy Birthday Gibson!

St. George Trip

2010-02-01T11:23:00.001-08:00

We took a trip to St. George with Anthony's family. We spent a couple nights in the condo swimming and playing games. We also we to a Animal Musmeam. These are just a couple of pics of some of the animals, because there was so many.

Gibson loved the baby skunks!

Grandparents w/ the grand kids.

My little Nephi Warrior. I am making a blanket for this new baby & I had tied some of the material around my head so he wanted to. But he wouldn't turn around for me to take his pic.

This is how Gibson smiles when you tell him to say "Cheese" I think it is so funny! What a BOY!

Gibson got this Little People Barn with the animals. It makes noises of the animals, he loves it. He will play with it for hours.

Mom & Dad

A Gun that shots airplanes, this was one of Gibson favorite things.

All he told Santa that he wanted for Christmas is a horse, so he got this stick horse. He rides it all over the house carrying a sword say "charge".

Well my parents have moved back to Fillmore, so back to Gpa & Gma Johnsons basement we go til we can get another house built. So this is Gibson playing in the boxes that I unpacked out of.

2009-11-17T12:32:00.000-08:00

Well for those of you that haven't heard yet I am PREGNANT! I am 20 weeks along, so half way done. We got to find out last week what we are having? And it is a . . . . . . . . GIRL! We are so excited for Gibson to get a little sister. He still doesn't understand what is going on, but I'm sure he will sooner or later. Things around our house have been going great. Gibson is getting so big and is talking up a strom. He tries to say everything that we say. So we can see why we have to watch what you do and say around him because they are learning so fast!! He is always wanting to be outside with the horses and the dogs. And he is such a big helper he is always wanting to help cook, sweep or something. He is such a funny boy and I love him so much!!!

Happy Halloween

2009-11-04T08:40:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics of Gibson in his costume. He was a frog and he loved it! You would ask him was he was and he would say "fog" for frog.

Gibson and Kaden got in a pillow fight at Gma & Gpa Johnson house.

Gibson attempting to walk in Gpa Johnson cowboy boots.

Lovin on Gma!

The other day I couldn't find Gibson and this is where I found him he was asleep on our stairs.

Gibson wearing one of my candle wreaths as a crown. He thinks of some of the funniest things!

F.H.E & Good Times

2009-10-29T09:13:00.001-07:00

Just yesterday I could hear Gibson in my bedroom talking, so I went in to see what he was doing and .... He had thrown all the clothes out of the basket and was sitting in it!

We went out side to play in the snow and see what Gibson would think of it. And yes he is like his mom, he loved it! He wasn't very happy to come inside but his poor hands were freezing cause he wouldn't wear his gloves.

Gibson's pumpkins - He colored the one with a marker and thanks to Aunt Terri she gave us the stick on faces, so we didn't have to let Gibson deal with all the guts and knifes. Cause believe me he thinks he has to do it all!

We made Halloween Sugar Cookies for F.H.E this is Gibson finishing touches on one of his cookies.

This is one that he cut out all by himself.

I was trying to get him to look at me, so I told him to look at the bug on my camera. So in this pic he was saying "ooh"

He was such a big helper he had to be involved in it all!

He was outside with his dad and he got cold so his dad let him wear his coat. What a cute boy!

Also for F.H.E we played in the leaves. It was so much fun! Gibson loved it until he got leaves down his pants, then it wasn't so fun anymore.

(Yes we had a very eventful F.H.E) And last but not least Gibson got to ride the horse. Which he did not get off until it was dark and he had to. He LOVES the horsees!

Gotta Love the Fall!

2009-10-06T15:45:00.000-07:00

This last weekend while the men were off hunting us ladies (Jacie, Amber & I) decided to get together and do some crafts and hang out for the weekend. It was a lot of fun we made some Halloween blocks and witches brooms. We also took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch & to the Farm. It was so much fun the kids loved it! We walked through the patch and let the kids pick out some pumpkins. It was really neat because they had so many different ones. They had normal ones, green ones, worty ones & white ones! Also at the farm we got to see the new born baby cows and they were so cute! It was funny though Gibson was getting really close to one and it mooed at him really loud and it really scared him. He cried for awhile. FUNNY BOY!

We took a fun trip up the canyon to look at the beautiful leaves and have a good time!

So just today my poor little guy fell down the front porch steps and scraped up his chin and bit his lip. It bleed for alwhile, but everything is ok!

He loves taking a BUBBLE BATH!

What can I say he is always on the move in 2 days he found a permanent marker and colored all down the hallway, all over his bedroom wall, all over his sheet on his bed and all over his toys. He also got into my make-up bag and got a hold of my mascara and colored all over his body. It took some serious scrubing to get it off. What a boy!

We took one last camping trip just Anthony, Gibson & I. We went to Kanosh, it was a lot of fun! We went and just relaxed and had a good time. It was so NICE Anthony did all of the cooking. Gibson of course had the time of his life with dirt all around! We went on a 4-wheeler ride to look for deer or elk but we didn't see any, but we did see some really big turkeys.

Labor Day Weekend

2009-09-09T13:30:00.000-07:00

We took our boat with us to Colorado so we decided to go boating the Friday of Labor Day weekend. We went to Horsetooth Lake, it was beautiful. It is right in the middle of 2 mountains. It was so nice there was not very many people out on the lake.

Dad gettin the tunes ready!

The first ride of the day!

My Dad was the first to get thrown off. It was a nice fall off he didn't even get his hair wet. Just skidded on top of the water for a ways. Ha Ha!

My mom our beautiful flag woman!

There was tons of these frogs all over the place on the beach. My brothers loved them, Gibson on the other hand wasn't to sure what to think of them.

He liked them from a distance, with his daddy right by. (He is pointing at a Frog)

I just love this picture of my 2 favorite boys!

Grandpa and Gibson gettting the fire going, so we could roast some hot dogs for dinnner. YUM

The Captin of the ship

We went of into a Cove to eat dinner and play on the beach. Gibson loves being able to play in the dirt & water. It was so fun!

Monday was Braydens 9th B-day and he decided he wanted to go crawdad fishing. So we headed to the Loveland lake.

Doesn't Austin just look so proud of himself!

I just love these father son pictures.

It was a great weekend spending time with the family and just being able to relax!

Later that night we celebrated my bros B-Days Braydens 9th on the 7th and Austins 14th on the 8th. We had yummy sloppy joes for dinner followed by cake and ice cream and of course presents. It was a great night!

PiCtUrE OvEr LoAd LoNg TiMe No SeE

2009-08-28T17:10:00.000-07:00

Gibson has become famous for putting other peoples shoes on, these are uncle Austin's.

We are over in Colorado visiting my parents and Gibson found a metal bat & a softball. He wanted Anthony to hold the ball while he hit it. Well Anthony tried it and lets just say hits pretty hard for a 18 month old. So Anthony decided he needed one more his size. And he loves it!

The little stink also found a permint marker at my mom's & decided he needed a picture on himself.

And he got into the flour and yes if any of you knew me when I was little, I was the Queen for getting in G Johnsons flour. I guess he is just like his mom!

We had a surprise party for Gpa & Gma Johnson 50th wedding anniversary. It was a lot of fun!

Kaden very much enjoyed his Rootbeer Float!

And I have to say I made the cake with a lot of help from Carol Poulson but I did it!

At the Gubler Reunion Gma Johnson side we also had a little party for them. I think they enjoyed their dance together.

Uncle B teaching Gibson how to be a piro "great"

This tickled my funny bone! One of those days I guess.

Grandma with the grand-babies

The boys helpin Grandpa

Gibson not to sure what to think about the Cradads?

Gibson & Kaden found a puddle and as you can tell they had a great time!

We took a fun trip to St. George

The boys loved the fire truck!

Aunt Jacie's cat had kitties and Gibson could not get enough of them. Funny Boy!

We went on a Jeep ride up Gunnison canyon on the 24th of July. Thanks Jacie & Randon

Gibson loves to help sweep, he dumped rice all over the floor. At least he was trying to he a big helper.

Let The Good Times Roll

2009-07-22T12:11:00.001-07:00

I had to throw this in, this would be Gibsons 1st art work on the door. He did it with sidewalk chalk and he was so proud!

Brayden was a good sport for me and pulled Gibson in his wagon for the Childrens Parade. I think he liked it but it was way hot!

Looking at the big boys with excitement waiting for another firework.

He loved the sparklers!

A couple weeks ago we went up the canyon for F.H.E. to play in the water, roast a hog dog and eat some watermelon. It was a lot of fun!

Gibson showing grandma he is really good at getting her sticky.

He ate so much watermelon I am surprised he didn't get a serious gut ache.

Gibson sure does love bath time!

2009-07-02T10:14:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my 23rd Birthday, I had some of the family over and we had home made hot fudge, brownies and ice cream it was really good. As you can tell Gibson had a great time!

The day before my Birthday I went and got my first pedicure and I loved it. We also went to the temple and the kids played at the city water park.

Last Saturday we went to the car show in the park and Gibson fell asleep holding his corn on the cob. What a sweet litttle guy!

June 19th & 20th I went and played volleyball at the summer games.

This is a after picture we took the bronze!

And this is a before

I came home one night after my dad had been babysitting and this is what I found. He loves to play in the dirt!

This bench is at grandma Johnson's house and he thinks he is the KING of it.

We have been picking cherries. Anthony raises us up in the backhoe to reach the high ones, this is Brayden wearing his helmet.

Gibson loves riding on the backhoe with his daddy!

We love this water park in St. George we have been there 3 times this summer when we go and visit Jacie. It is so nice!

These are some pictures from our trip to Colorado. Anthony was going to take me to the worlds biggest water park, but it rained the whole time we were there. So we had to just go swimming at a normal pool, which was still tons of fun. It had a couple of big slids and a play ground set in the pool.

We had some serious tetherball games!

Daniel (the boy in the blue shirt if you couldn't guess). My family meet him when they moved to Colorado. And as you know my dad is great at sharing the gospel with all. My dad got to baptize him on May 16th. It was a way neat!

Happy Mothers Day & More!

2009-05-13T13:50:00.001-07:00

Happy Mothers Day!!! Just a couple of days late. I hope all of you mothers out there had a great day! For Mothers Day Gibson and Anthony got me some LIME GREEN roses from where I have no idea, but I think they are so COOL! Just wanted to share that with all of you who have never seen them before either. I also got my favorite perfume Refuge. LOVE IT!

Gibson also got some of his cast cut off. You can see that it is below the elbow now. YEAH!

Look at me I can straighten my elbow!

This is Gibson's face when we tell him to say cheese. Isn't that just so cute!

On Sunday Gibson was trying so hard to get dad's belt on. So with some help from Anthony he walked around like this all morning until he had to get ready for church.

Cool Dude!

Anthony bought some candy popcorn and Gibson wanted some, so I took some out for him. And not thinking left the bag by him, I looked away for surely 2 seconds and this is what happened. I love him so much, he keeps things exciting where ever he is.

Broken Arm

2009-04-29T10:24:00.001-07:00

This last week Gibson broke his arm, yes that is what I said a BROKEN ARM. Poor little guy, it is so sad :( Well let me start from the begining I don't really know how he broke it, but he thinks he can run now, so he has been falling more than normal. And every time he would fall he would scream and scream. I always thought "oh your fine" I would give him a love and he would stop crying so I thought he was fine. I always thought it was his teeth that are coming in and that he was just tired. Then he isn't every good at going over the thresholds on door ways so we help him across. Monday Anthony was helping him across one and he took his arm to help him a cross and again he started to cry. Well finally Monday night we decided something was wrong. When he was getting up he wouldn't use his right arm at all. But other then when he fell and when it was touch he acted just fine. We took him to the Doctors on Tues and when we got there they were like which arm is it? Because he was acting normal. But sure enough when they took the X-ray there it was. They said it was a Green Stick Fracture, it is not totally broken in half, just bent. I couldn't believe! I cried and felt like the worst mom ever. But they told me this happens all the time with little kids. So that made me feel a little better. So yes Gibson is in this cast for 3 to 4 weeks. He seems to be ok with it but Wish us LUCK!

Showing his cast to Daddy.

This is Wednesday morning and he is his normal happy self. He was playing Peek-a-boo with me with the door.

You can see in this picture that it goes up past his elbow. Last night going to bed he cried alittle and tried to pull it off, but other then that he has been pretty good about it.

I just had to add this picture. The other day I was out working in the yard and had the water going and he was having so much fun playing in it. So I pulled out his pool and put just a tiny bit of water in and he was loving it. I love this little guy so much! There is no better thing in this world then to be a mom. It is the BEST!

A couple weeks ago we went with Anthony to the Doctor and we went to Children Place after. The lady gave Gibson a 3D sticker. I stuck it on his forehead and I shouldn't laugh but I think it is so funny that his little arms are just barely get long enough to reach the top of his head. So he couldn't get it and fell asleep with it on.
Gibson got this horse for Christmas and he is starting to love it. So when Kaden came over and wanted on it, of course Gibson thought he needed to be on too!

Gibson has been walking really good. But he still hasn't got the down hill walking. And about 2 weeks ago he was playing with the dogs and they walked down the hill and he decided to follow and this is what came of it. 2 nice sidewalk burns (if thats what you call them) and a big burse!

We couldn't pass up the nice weather this last Saturday. So we took the Tipi and the tunnel out to play. He loves them! I love the last picture because he is sitting Indian Style inside the tipi, so cute! (Also he fell down and got a bloody nose poor guy) :(

A couple days ago I was in the other room and I could hear this noise so I went to find what it was. And this is what I found, a big pile of Toilet Paper on the bathroom floor and Gibson standing beside it! He is just so much fun and he has to explore everthing. So he is always into something. I love that little guy so much!

The Best Man Ever

I just wanted to share some feelings about how great of husband and dad Gibson and I have. He just got surgery on his right shoulder yesterday and will be wearing a sling for the next 6 weeks. We have only gone one night like this and I think it was the longest night of our lives. I probably slept 3 hours, if Gibson wasn't awake then Anthony was, or if they were both asleep I was up checking on Anthony making sure that he was ok and still breathing. I have never been on this side of it, I'm the one that's always had the surgery. (It's scary) Gibson has been sleeping through the night this last week and sure enough just because last night I really needed him to sleep, he didn't. Anthony is always there to help me when I need it with Gibson, he is always willing to build me something (even though he does it all day long) or just helping out around the house. Now that he can not do really anything for the next 2 months, I'm wondering how I am going to do it alone. (I don't know how those single parents do it.) The poor guy has only been home 1 day and is already going crazy, so if you have any ideas on how to entertain a grown man, let me know. It has just made me realize how much help i really need and how much help he really is. Thanks so much babe for all that you do for us. You are the best Dad and Husband in the whole world. Words can not explain how grateful I am to be married to my best friend and to be able to be with you for time and all eternity. I love you a whole big bunchers!

I know Gibson's Birthday was at the first of the month, but I am just getting this put on. This is from his 1st Birthday I put his picture on Good Things Utah. Sorry about the black on the bottom I don't know what it is and I can't get it off. My baby is ONE! (Scary)

Gibsons 1st Birthday (Feb. 6th)

2009-02-09T12:20:00.001-08:00

Gibson turned 1 on Feb. 6th I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. My little baby is getting so big. Here are some pictures of Gibson's big day! First picture of the day (He is so sleepy)
Anthony's present to Gibson was his 1st long horse ride. He has gone around in the pasture. But this time he went all the way up to the cementry and back. He loved it!

Trying to take his picture by the birthday sign what a chore, the only way he would hold still is if I was in it with him.

Opening his presents he got a tunnel, swimming tube, doodle pad, a hammer that makes noise, stuffed animals, a animal train, lots of cute outfits and money. Thanks so much everybody!

Birthday cake!!! Anthony and I stayed up til 11:30 making this turtle cake it was a lot of fun. I think it turned out really cute, I have to say we are proud of ourselves. Gibson's loved the cake and ice cream once he figured out that it tasted good. He wouldn't just play in it like I thought he would.
I don't know who loved the tunnel more Aunt Amber or Gibson?

The Christmas Season was great this year. The best was Gibson it was his 1st Christmas and he loved it! Cleaning for Christmas... Gibson was helping me vaccum and he thinks it's the coolest thing.
Kaden and Gibson hanging out in the crib!

Gibson's 1st time seeing Mrs. Clause and as you can see he is not so sure what to think.
And here is Santa and pretty much the same thing. He is giving him a look like who are you?

Cookie making time! Gibson's favorite part was playing in the flour.
As you can see all the different stuff going on just wore Gibson right out.

Gibson helping mom undecorate the Christmas tree!
The weekend before Christmas we went up to Wolf Creek and spent time with Anthony's fam. It snowed hard the whole time, so we played a lot of games.
It's to early!

Christmas morning was a lot of fun. Gibson was not to sure what was going on. But he loved riping the wrapping papper. I think his favorite was the leap frog table and not so much that but the box that it came in. All day long he would crawl over to the box and then just sit on top of it and smile. What a year, we had a great year and couldn't have asked for a better one!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everybody! We finally got our Christmas cards, my poor cousin who took our pictures for us has been having quite the time with her hard drive. Luckily she still had our pictures on her camera. I think she has got things all worked out put for awhile there they were telling her she would have to pay like $1,700 bucks to get it fixed. Talk about making you sick! Anyway about us life has been going great and we can't believe how fast Christmas came this year. Gibson is getting so big and is crawling all over the place. We love having him in our lives so much, he is the cutest! I love Christmas time and the feeling that it brings. I love celebrating the birth of our Savior. He has blest us beyond measure this year and I hope he has done the same for you. We hope you all have a great Christmas and everything is going well. Love the Hutchins

Getting our Christmas tree was so much fun! Grandpa Abe took us on an adventure, up a really steep hill side. When we got the trees they pretty much just pushed us down the hill. I love having a real tree it smells so good, I just love the Christmas seasons! I hope you all have a great Christmas!

Thanksgiving in Colorado

2008-12-08T11:10:00.001-08:00

We had an awesome time in Colorado! We did so many fun things. We went to an Aquarium in Denver, they had fish and animals from all different climates. Gibson that it was so cool! We went to Estes Park where we saw over 500 head of elk all together. We also got to see long horned sheep. We got to go to the Denver temple, which was a neat experience. Amber, my mom and I went shopping on Black Friday, for the first time ever. Talk about fun! Jacie was sick so she didn't get to go. (Next year) The best part was seeing the fam. They are doing so good and said to tell everyone hi. We are looking forward to going back.

ON THE GO

2008-12-05T11:14:00.001-08:00

For any of you that know Gibson, he always has to be moving and apart of everything. So when I do the laundry I carry him with me in the basket and he absolutely loves it. But now that he is getting bigger and is a tank I might add, it is becoming quite the chore to carry him around.
Also he loves ballons! They could keep him entertained for hours.

Gardeners Village

2008-11-19T14:59:00.001-08:00

We were able to go to Gardeners Village before the family took of to Colorado. It was really cold! So much fun to just hang out and spend time together!

Leaves

2008-11-12T15:58:00.000-08:00

I am glad I got Gibson
out to play in the leaf
before it got cold.
He absolutely loved it!
And like everything else
he thought he needed
to taste them.

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!! This was Gibson 1st Halloween and we had so much fun. He was a little Bumble Bee, he was so adorable. Everyone thought he was so cute! I gave Gibson a sucker and when I took it away because he was so sticky he cried. I guess he is like his mother and loves the sugar!

The Barbie Days

2008-11-03T15:59:00.002-08:00

So I was helping my mom clean out her storage room when we came across our old barbies. How funny I had no idea that my mom had kept them around. So of course I had to get them out and reminisce about the old days. My sisters and I would play barbies for hours.

We went with cousin Kaden to a water park in St. George. He was trying to catch the water and bubbles the whole time.

If you can't tell Gibson loves playing in the dirt! (Oh and eating it) He likes being outside so much, it could be a long winter.

Our Little Family

2008-10-28T14:28:00.001-07:00

Here's a little about our family. Anthony and I have been married for almost 2 years in November. He is the best husband ever and I love being with him. We welcomed our little boy Gibson into our lives this last February and are having the time of our lives being parents. It is so much fun watching him learn and grow. (He is getting so big). Anthony is such a good dad and can't wait til Gibson can ran around with him. As for me I love being a mom! It is the best job on earth and yes the most tiring.
