Sledding!

We all met at Grandma and Grandpa's house and we spent the day yesterday and today sledding! It was a blast- my Grandpa got on his tractor and piled snow where it was needed to fix our tubing track, I think he had just as much fun as we did! We had tons of tubes and a pretty sweet track, although it sucked climbing up the hill to slide down, it was totally worth it! After our legs were numb from climbing the hill, we tied 3 tubes to the back of the four-wheeler and Mike pulled us around in the fields, it was ROUGH! I don't think anyone walked away without a battle scar- but it was awesome!! I couldn't post any pictures of the four-wheeler pull because it was too brutal and there was no way I could stop holding on to take a picture.. and because my camera died. Here are some of us while we're tubing though! You can just see in this one, Tim is so wanting to send Cass down the hill- poor kid!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa, we had a blast!

*The Greatest gift of all*

We had a great Christmas at the Beesley home this year. On Christmas eve, we came home to a few gifts from neighbors and friends sitting on our porch (thanks everyone).. anyway, there was one gift that stood out from the rest: I don't know if you can see the tag, but it says, to the Beesley family, "The Greatest Gift of all", and *open very last*. Well if any of you know me, you know that I LOVE Christmas and I can't stand the anticipation of waiting to open gifts- its terrible! Anyway, so I talked Tim into letting me open it anyway and this is what was inside:

It said, From: Jesus Christ, The greatest gift of all, "Eternal Life".. When I opened this, Tim and I just looked at eachother- it was really hard to find words. I had been so excited just to open gifts, I had overlooked what is most important. I can honestly say, that was "the greatest gift of all" so whoever left that on our door step, thank you so much!!

Here are a few pictures of Kray on Christmas...

What a weekend!!

So this weekend was super busy. We actually had 3 parties this weekend, and attended all of them! Friday night was Tylyn's 1st Birthday party- can I just say he got everything and then some! It was so fun to see him with all of those toys and eating his cute little backhoe cake that his creative mom made for him. He is just such a sweet little boy, I can't believe he's one already!

Saturday before my family Christmas party we stopped in at the Mt. Pleasant city drawing.. I was totally hoping for some super cool prize, but instead Tim won a 6 month subscription to the pyramid and a DVD about Highway 89- so if any of you need a great gift for your Dad or Grandpa just give me a call, I can hook you up with a very informative DVD that they may just love! Anyway, after the drawing we headed over to Fairview for a Marsh Christmas party-- this is always a blast. We always play the gift game where you take one out of the middle and you can take someone else's gift if you want it.. So I ended up with a crock pot (I have 2 already) and Tim ended up with the set of Maglite flashlights that we took to the party. The gift game was fun, but my favorite part was seeing my family- We had all 5 generations there! I just love them all so much!

Me, my Mom and Lace- LOVE these two!!

And me with my boys!! I LOVE, LOVE them!

Sunday night, we had the Beesley Christmas party. It was so much fun, we had such a yummy dinner, cooked by everyone.. then we played the little gift game, which I then ended up with a remote control car-not just any car, this one can climb the walls.. it is SO COOL!!

Tim got Yatzee (spelling?)- which now I can probably talk him into playing a game with me- yay! We had such an awesome weekend- we are so blessed to have such wonderful families to share this season with!

KRAY UPDATE: He now giggles like crazy when you tickle him- I LOVE IT! :)

Also, things are going to be so busy the next couple of days, so I just wanted to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Love you all!

Happy 3-Monthday Kray!!

Today Mckray is 3 months old! I can't believe how fast time flies..

He brings so much happiness into our lives- Can't imagine our lives without him! We love you SO much Kray-bug!!

Mckray's Blessing

Yesterday was Mckray's blessing, it was perfect! He was blessed by his daddy, with his grandpa and uncles standing in. It was such a wonderful blessing- I am so grateful that Tim holds the priesthood and was able to bless our son. Close friends and family also helped make this such a special day for our family. What a blessing to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Here's a picture of Mckray in his blessing outfit-

-he is just so much fun!!
