This IS big, BIG news!

but we are MOVING and it's official!

This is soon to be Home Sweet HomeHard to believe and with mixed emotions - we are ready and eager to experience this next chapter in our lives.

Here we come NorthShore Oahu, Hawaii

Santa

Tis the season to see Santa and this year we went with Jess, Paul and Cohen to South Towne Mall. My Dad put me onto this particular Santa because he is the real one. I didn't get any photos of Liv or cohen on his lap...but my Dad snuck this sweet pic of some random little boy on his lap. Isn't he the best Santa ever? He looked so real the little girl in me was tempted to sit on his lap and ask for a Mop Top Hair Shop for myself!


Olivia was SO excited to meet Santa this year. She smiled the whole time and told him she wanted "a Dollie with long sparkly, sparkly, sparkly hair that when you cut it, it grows back...with silver-red shoes". Hopefully shes happy with the little black doll with curly hair and white boots...that I'll probably find! haha

See Johnny, I told you it's a real song...

Thank you, Gayla Peevey!

Thanksgiving in Hawaii

Johnny and I were apart for Thanksgiving this year, he has been working in Hawaii for the last 2 1/2 weeks to earn some extra money and gets home tomorrow. HALLELUJAH! This single parenting business is not for me, it is SO hard. Johnny does a lot around the house and with the kids. He is the "one" to get the kids up in the morning, get them dressed and off the preschool and babysitters...needless to say it hasn't been pretty without him here and me trying to do everything on my own, AND get to work on time. It's healthy being apart sometimes, helps you appreciate eachother a little more, but by this point...we are all a mess and can't wait for him to get home tomorrow! After all is said and done I AM still glad he was able to go to Hawaii to make some extra money and hang with his BFF CJ. I didn't get any pictures of our Thanksgiving here in Utah (probably due to my own and my families appearance) but here is a pic from Johnny's thanksgiving across the ocean.

Hope you had a GREAT Thanksgiving!
