Pete's Side Kicks!

Just the past couple of weeks I had a couple of those moments where I ran and grabbed my camera! Megan and Melanie love their dad and love spending time with him! They like to be helpers when ever they can whether it is work or play! These pictures make me melt!

Catching up with the Leavitt Family!!

It was so good to see the Leavitt's! After the new year we met up at Tracy and Amber's house in Marana and enjoyed visiting and catching up while the girls had fun playing. Tracy went to school with Pete at DMU and Amber and I worked together in Young Women's in our Ward. Tracy is a 2nd year podiatry resident here in Tucson with Pete.

We don't get together too often but after this visit vowed to make an effort more often! We went out and enjoyed some good food at Texas Road House.

The Leavitt's big news is that they are expecting...sometime this summer! How fun huh!!! Amber is really sick with morning sickness and is enduring through all of that yucky stuff, but other than that they are doing great! I fell in love with little Olivia she is sooooo cute!

Melanie's Christmas

Sweet little Melanie asked for only one specific item...Princess Aurora the baby doll! She was thrilled and enjoyed sharing the Enchanting Castle as well! Time will fly and in soon will be demanding the 80 Gig ipod like Aunt Brooke! Oh how I love how sweet and simple kids can be!

Megan's Christmas

Megan asked Santa for a Barbie house... and was excited to see a Princess castle! She said it was better than what she had even asked for! She also enjoyed other princess stuff including her favorite the walkie talkies!

Santa Clause is coming to town!!!

Christmas Eve Santa came right on time despite the assembly of the Enchanted Castle! Santa is also thoughtful he always remembers Koda (our dog) the girls love seeing what Santa brings Koda it is a fun silly thing!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we had our traditional family dinner at grandma Thomas's. After dinner we shared the nativity and testimonies, which some how also included the kids (all of us) singing Christmas songs. I guess you could say it was a traditional Christmas program around here!

My Christmas Angels

Here's Megan and Melanie in their Christmas Dresses, I love my girls they are my little angels.

Christmas Cousin Fun!

The Gibson cousins all met the Fri and Sat before Christmas and we had a rockin' time! Grandma and Grandpa were the coolest and rented a jumping castle for the day and inbetween we built gingerbread houses, and painted aprons for the grandmas. We ended the day with a yummy Mexican dinner and desert was outside roasting marshmellows near the fire pit while sharing our favorite Christmas memories!
