Happy Birthday PAUL!!!!

Yes, on top of being Christmas Eve, today is Paul's Birthday here are a few things that we love about him....Happy Birthday!

Melia said she loves....

"When we go get slurpies"

" When he throws me up high"

" Hugs"

" When we go to Disneyland"

Cooper loves( trust me I just know he does)....

When daddy makes him giggle with crazy sounds

When he says I'm the cutest little boy

When he plays with me

Lauren loves

When I get to fall asleep in his arms

When he makes me laugh because of some crazy story(and he always has them)]

How he loves sports so much(it's just a part of him)

That half of his clothes are "go utes"

How hard he works always( even on his Birthday to get people there furniture before Christmas)

I love how I feel like I'm one of the only people who get to see his really sweet side.

When he plays with Melia and Cooper and I know that he is the best dad to them

That he gave me a gift when we were celebrating his Birthday last night( p.s. It was a T-shirt that says, "I love Paul."

When he drives me crazy and I just know that I will always love him

SOooo.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL....WE LOVE YOU!!

Chirstmas Tree

Yesterday we went out and got a real fresh tree! I haven't had one since I was little and I love it! It smells so good. Although our tree is pretty cute I have to say Melia made an adorable little Christmas tree. She put on all the "colory lights," and wanted to be a tree. Now it feels like Christmas at our house.

Festival of the Trees

This week we went to Festival of Trees with Michelle and Grandma Sheila. It's fun to look at some of the trees, but there was just so many, there is no way we could see them all. This one was Melia's favorite and she kept saying, " The grinch is going to get us!" She also got to see santa, she wouldn't sit on his lap but stood and talked with him for a while. She told him what she wanted for Christmas and he was the cutest! After meeting him, I surely believe! They also had a kid corner full of fun things to do and Melia picked out a face paint and manicure( she is such a girl!)

Thanksgiving, Birthdays and Toothaches!!!

Well this was an eventfull Thanksgiving weekend. We did have a great time with everyone on my Mom's side at dinner and a very full house. The kids had crafts thanks to Aunt Julie and they all made great turkey hats and much more! I ate as much as possible it was so yummy my favorite!

Paul had horrible tooth pain all weekend and finally went to the dentist on friday, but they gave him antibiotics and hoped that it would get better. Turns out he had an infection in his tooth and went today to get that taken care of. Hopefully in a day the pain will be gone. Having him down and out these past few days has made me realize how grateful I am for his help. I just want to thank everyone who helped this weekend. On a happier note....

Happy Birthday to My Dad and Holland Utley! ( my sweet little neice)
We celebrated both their Birthday's on Saturday, but they are actually both today! Holland is such a cutie and has the best little laugh and smile! We love you, she just learned how to say cooper's name I love her interpretation: "baby pooper!" Makes me laugh every time~!
I want my dad to know I love him and he is such a great example to me of strength in every aspect of his life! I'm glad we got to have him here this weekend and can't wait to see you again for Christmas!
