continued!!

The girls absolutely loved playing out in the snow and making a "snowman"

They got a brilliant idea that it shouldn't be a "snowman" at our house- they wanted a "snowgirl." So I had to go inside and make a cute bow for her:)


We enjoyed some family time at the Hoen Cabin for a few days.

Kirk FINALLY got Married!!!

The cute nieces and nephew waiting for the bride and groom to come out of the temple!!

Here they are!! We are SO happy for Kirk and his awesome bride, Julianne!!

Our cute lil fam outside the Timpanogos Temple:)

All the sister-in-laws made skirts for the little girls- they turned out SO cute!!

The fam. @ the reception.

Haisley was actually cooperating for the camera this day:)

We are so HaPpY that Kirk was able to find Julianne. She is such an amazing woman and we are excited for her to be in the family!! It was an awesome ceremony and wonderful reception. Thanks Kirk for FINALLY getting married!!

DISNEYLAND!!!

We were able to go to Disneyland in October (I know this is really late)!! The girls had a blast eating lunch with the PRINCESSES:)

She is so cute!! Haisley was patiently waiting while we took turns riding the rides.

Meeting the characters was a highlight!!

Halle enjoyed riding the rides. She had a blast with her cousin, Christian who was able to join us one day:)

More PRINCESSES!!

Disneyland was so fun!! I am not a fanatic like some people, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the delight on my girls' faces. Halle was tall enough to ride the rides- so we made her. Brad and I tricked her onto a couple rides, but now she says SPLASH MOUNTAIN was her favorite part of Disneyland. See it worked:) Hopefully next time we go Haisley will be able to ride some, but who knows with how small she is.

San Diego Zoo

We went on a bus ride around the zoo. It is such a big zoo that this was one way to see all the animals:)

Love this pic taken by Halle, the photographer. Look at the little stranger wanting to get in on the action.

Cute girlies!!

They were so excited to see the animals.

This was the cutest panda bear. The girls loved all the animals, but they still talk about the cute panda family.

Anytime there was a statue of an animal the girlies wanted a picture with it. Here they are next to a baby polar bear.

Cute Haisy

My Halle-girl and my man!!

See- here's another one:)

Sea World

We got to go to SEA WORLD too on our Southern California vacation!! The girls wanted to have a picture with the giant octopus:)

Brad was brave enough to pick up the star fish. Haisley was actually far more brave than her older sister was when it came to getting close to the animals.

Halle on the other hand was brave enough to ride this roller coaster. Actually I don't think she had clue how scary that drop was going to be. She was pretty much terrified to ride any other ride that trip.

SHAMU!!

La Jolla Beach

Love this beach!! Too bad it was cold and too late to really play.

Halle and Haisley couldn't resist not getting into their suits.

We can't wait to go back (hopefully next summer) and let the girls play all day.

St. George Marathon

Here I am after the St. George Marathon:) Yes, I did manage to cross the finish line after talking to myself for hours!! It was a fun race, but totally exhausting.
