1900 miles across the USA

Well.... I normally love car rides, but lets just say this didn't count. Brogan decided that he gets car sick and kept throwing up for no good reason and Vance decided he wanted to get random bloody noses. AHHH!!!!!!!!!! And to top it off, Ben got really tired and told me to drive so he could take a nap. Has any one seen dumb and Dumber? Long story short, ben woke up and i had driven 100 miles in the wrong direction. lets just say he didn't let me drive again.
He wasn't to happy

the biggest cross west of the Mississippi

I had to take a pic because these moments were few and far between

Jami and Alison did SO MUCH to help packing our house. I had no idea how much STUFF we actually had. Alison joked that I was about 3 years away from being on Oprah with all the junk that I had. Those 2 women are some of the hardest wiking, most motivated poeple I know.

The boys hung out while we worked. Notice Brogan is the youngest by far yet he is a GIANT!

Ben got a little distracted while loading the truck

you think we packed it enough?

To Great friends!

My friends must really feel sorry for me! They have all been treating me like a queen;) I got so spoiled and pampered to help prepare me from the move.
Jessica introduced me to my first scarf ever and I havn't taken it off! She also gave me cute little black slippers. i am always a sucker for slippers!

Seriously!... Sara and Dray made me dreams come true and bought me the cutest most comfy pair of UGS! I must say I look smashing in them:) No but seriously they are a little piece of heaven!

Of coarse I had to make Sara have one last sleep ove with me. My cute husband slept on the couch!

I am sad I didn't get a better picture of me and Amy, but her and Sam came over on the day we moved and cleaned our whole back yard for us! It was so appreciated, because our dog kinf of destroyed the place!

home-made goodbye dinners

I got to spend a lot of quality time with family before I left.
Jami and Brogan. He love love loves her

Noah, vance and Emma at my moms for dinner

Vance and Cita....so cute

First modeling shoot

Cute Bro Bro Modeled some clothes for Spoiled Royal and they turned out awesome!

Falcons VS Cardinals

Yep, We were part of the 1% falcon fans at the game. We almost got shot;) Sorry babe, no tilte for the falcons

Celebrating a touch down... few and far between

Like mother like son

Bro Bro just LOVES bubbles! I just thought these were cute pics. It doesn't matter how many bubbles there are, he just wants "MORE"

Getting ready for the snow

I realized when I went Coat shopping, I didn't even really know what a snow Jacket is. I hope these will work........

Mmm... Butterscotch

This is why I want to cut his hair.

he's a creepy lil' fella

My cousin Jack let Brogan wear this mask and was teaching him some pretty "tight" dance moves. Too bad he just looked like that scary kid from the grudge. ( I don't think the log pj shirt helps) Brogan thought he was hilarious.

2009....for rizzle?

New Years eve was very fun and Low key. We went to my aunt Jami's (of coarse) and had a night of snacks and games. All I have to say is I HATE BOGGLE. that's all.
oh, ps, why didn't I know how much I like hot coco? I thought I hated it because I think it is dumb to burn your mouth, but if you are patient, It keeps you warm. Mmmmmm....

When life gives you lemons.......

Well... lets see, we were all set to move across the country.. to Georgia, BUT life unexpectedly threw me a curve ball and now we are moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana! Ben took a job there and we have about a week to get the house packed up and head north. I googled images of Fort Wayne and this is the first one that came up...
Seriously? What is that white stuff all over? I think it is called snow? I really don't even own a jacket, and I wear Flip Flops all year! Luckily, this next picture came up too....
You can't go wrong with that right? If I can just make it through the winter, I think it will be great. (beside the snow) I am excited to start a new journey with my family! I think it will be fun to experience something new. Ben's brother lives there so my kids will have their cousins to play with! Vance and Brogan are so excited to move there. It is all they can talk about. I will blog the journey and keep every one posted on the move!

goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa!

It is always SOOOOOO sad to say goodbye to Ben's parents! It always brings tears, because we never know how long it will be until we see them again. We were so lucky to have them this christmas. The boys had so much fun with them. Vance could not keep his hands off of them. I thought this picture was super cute of the four of them. They have recently been called on mission and we know they will do awesome! They are incredible individuals with so much to offer! We love them!

Our own Harry Potter! Awesome

The day after Christmas, Vance went to the park with a family member and I got a call saying "Vance had fallen off the swing and cut his head" Of coarse he did! This child loves giving me heart attacks! Long story short, he got 8 stitches.

Christmas Day

We had to wake the boys up to open presents...sad, i know. The boys destroyed the place went through all their gifts in about 20 minutes. Vance kept opening presents and saying.... "Mom, you got this at Walmart!" I could only reply with, "No I didn't Vance, Santa brought it"
Then we went to Alison's (my sis n' law) for dinner and she made chicken pot pie.
This is before dinner was served, For those of you that actually know brogan... you will laugh!
The Girls with Grandma!
Ben, with his sisters. (4 of the 9 kids)
We finished the day off with temple lights!
