SNOWMEN!

Everyone has to build a snowman-at least once a season. We really had a good time building these two.

We have a book titled "What do snowmen do at night?" These good looking snowmen did NOT look the same after spending a night outside. Their arms drooped a bit, a few buttons fell off, one was missing an eye. It really makes you wonder- just what do they do?......

Nick had a Birthday...

Shout Hooray!




We love you Dad!

Santa Clause came!

We had a great Christmas season this year. We loved being together as a family and playing together.
Brandon loves the new Christmas train but also has enjoyed making his own CD's for his new CD player-all his own.
Audrey has spent hours dressing, undressing, and accessorizing her Polly Pockets.

Allison was not interested in any of the wrapped gifts this year. She was entranced by her doll house.

We hope that everyone had as great a Christmas as we did as we enjoyed being together during this season and remembering our Savior.

SLEDDING!

There is nothing greater during the winter than to go sledding. We had a grand time sliding down this hill for an hour or so. Brandon loved this the most!

Great News!

Family and Friends; Good news at the Hawkins house. I had an ultrasound today. I am 32 weeks or 7 1/2 months along. Everything is sooo good. According to the measurements, our little girl is 4 lbs 10 oz. I cannot express what a burden that takes off of my mind. To know that she is healthy, growing, and bigger than Allison was when she was born. I really think that this little girl will get to come home with me when I come home. That makes me excited and takes away so much anxiety. So two claps for me and three cheers for this little one!!!

Trick or Treating

We had a blast trick or treating with the Hawkins and our new little cousin baby Josh. I needed to take more good pictures! Jess dressed as Frankenstein. He actually walked around the whole neighborhood wearing those stilts!!
Jess is holding Allison, our little monkey. Audrey is a good 'ole witch. Brandon really wanted to be a chimney sweep. It was his idea and it was really cute. The children have been watching Mary Poppins. It is the favorite movie at our house.

Big daddy Josh was painted as a Rodeo clown with his sidekick cowboy, little Josh. Andrea--I somehow missed a picture of her. She was a Gypsie. She always makes cool costumes!

Thanks guy for a great Halloween. We loved it!

Some Halloween Fun!

Our Halloween party was so much fun! Thanks for all the family who came to participate. We really had a great time! The costumes were fun, dinner was great, and games made us all laugh.

Andrea and Joseph chose to be a hunter and a bunny. Hmmm, interesting combination......

Monica was a flying squirrel (I didn't have a picture of her 'wings' spread) and Jared was Alfalfa.

Melissa joined us as a flapper girl and Grandma and Grandpa Al got into the festivities too!

Krista came as a Nun--a true nun because Thayne stayed home with Quinn. Collin, Hannah and Simon were all dressed for the season. Mom and Dad were twin bakers, Dallin a judge, Justin the strongest man there, and Aaron just blended into the rest ;)


Darin and Angie's clan were all medical MD's and Dr.'s Nick dressed as Yosemite Sam and the party was really over when that fat lady sang.



We had a pumpkin throw competition. Congratulations to Uncle Wayne. This was his winning throw--right into the target zone, hitting the center pole only to stop and rest against it! We also had an 'assemble the skeleton' relay. We had to catch the real surgeons in action....
Halloween was great fun for us this year. Thanks for making memories with us!!
