Christmas was so much fun this year! It was a blast shopping for Mckray, picking out things that I knew he would love. He had a ball, and didn't know what to think with all of his new toys that "Santa" brought him. All morning he kept saying, "Thank you so much Santa for my toys!"

Monday we went on the Polar Express train ride in Heber. It was storming super bad down here so we were a little hesitant to go, but we went anyway, and I'm so glad that we did. Mckray had been talking about it for weeks- no joke. Everytime we'd ask if he was going to ride the choo-choo train, he said "ride choo-choo train, an hot chocate, see santa.." in the cutest tone ever. So when we finally did it, he was pretty excited.

This is before the train started going.. pulling his silly faces!
Ha ha.. this picture makes me laugh. Tim and I look hilarious,

but it just really shows how Mckray feels about Santa- scared!
Love this picture! And the boy too :)

With his "hot chocate" that he LOVES!
Towards the end of the ride, he's a little tired.

We had a great time, and I'm so grateful that I have these two handsome guys-pretty lucky!

Our candy house...

{aka Gingerbread house}

...Mckray LOVED it...

And is still, very much, loving it!

Messiest, yummiest, cutest, most-fun house ever built!

Last weekend we made it to Temple Square and got to visit with some pretty amazing people. It was a wonderful day, despite the rainy, freezing weather!

Also, Mckray met Santa a few weeks ago, this is how it went....
I'm hoping for a second chance with this- sometime again before Christmas!

Lately this boy is obsessed with seeing himself on video or in pictures.. We've been practicing Jingle Bells, I was recording him with my video camera so I thought I'd record a little with my camera to share.. Merry Christmas! :)

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I've done a post.. yes, HUGE slacker! As of now, I'm vowing to be much better, I really do love to blog, I just don't know what my deal is! Since it has been about 9 months since I've posted, I'm not going to go back through and post every little thing.

However.. This beautiful boy turned 2 {yes, I said 2} on the 10th of September. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed, the more I get to know him, the more I fall in love with him. He is so much fun and reminds me so much of Tim.. he even has a squeaky little voice. He is complete boy, nothing less than LOVING tractors, 4-wheelers, derby cars, trucks, dirt, rocks and anything boy.

{Although he does love this baby of Aibree's, Tim loves that :)}

I can't even describe how grateful I am to be his mommy- I swear he is perfect!

{I love this picture.. my sister say's its his "my mom beats me" face!}

I am almost done with school/apprenticing which will be a ginormous relief.. I can't wait to be home with Mckray. {and hopefully have another child, years later ;)} Things have been so busy, but Tim has been amazing with things around the house. I know there are things he thinks "hey, I didn't sign up for this one!" but he tackles everything with a smile and is super supportive! What a lucky lady I am. At times I truly feel like I am undeserving of the blessings I am constantly surrounded by, I am SO grateful.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! {Oh, and I cannot wait for Black Friday shopping!!}

We knew this handsome little guy was tired, but we didn't know he was this tired!

We walked in the door and started putting things away and within seconds Kray layed down on the kitchen floor and minutes later he was out! Tim and I were cracking up... he usually fights when we try to get him to sleep, so this was quite the extreme! I must say, he is incredibly sweet when he's sleeping!

I don't know about you.. but Mckray and I are loving this weather, and have enjoyed playing in the sunshine today!
