Christmas 2010

Figuring out there is one more gift outside.

Nick surprised me with a Kindle. I had no clue, which is hard to do!!

Who needs toys when you have a chocolate covered oreo???

Spoiled

Santa must be a fan of SUU :)

Gingerbread houses

PS. We moved!

Holy craziness the past few weeks! A little less than a month ago I interviewed for a school counselor position in St. George. They called less than a week later and offered me the position. Then about a week later once my background check came back, I started and a few days after that, we moved! It was all REALLY fast!!! We moved the weekend before Thanksgiving. It's been really nice to be here but it still hasn't sunk in, which is weird considering it's been a few weeks now. It was really hard to leave my AWESOME ward/calling and my FABULOUS BESTEST friends. Many of you know that I've never been too fond of Las Vegas, but I have to say that somewhere along the way I grew to be okay with it. I'm not gonna say I love it, but I do LOVE the people we met (and the shopping and food was great too!). My ward was trully my family and I loved all the fun things we did and the people I met because of it. So pretty much you all better come and play up here considering we are SOOO close and we also have good food and shopping! Anyways, it was hard for Reag to leave too, but she has gotten comfortable with her new school and has made a few friends. Our neighborhood is great with lots of kids and my job is really good. I work from 7:15ish to 2:30 and get all school holidays off, which is SOOOO awesome! I live really close too, so travel time is about 5 minutes, not bad! The school district also provides REALLY GOOD, FREE FOR THE FAMILY insurance which was REALLY needed for Hunter. Nick will start looking soon, hopefully when the new airport opens he can get on there. We'll see! For now I'm glad that the kids are able to be with him to ease them into the changes. So pretty much, that's what we've been up to! It's been a little nuts and it wasn't at all what we thought would happen for us, but it has still been a blessing for our family and like most, they usually don't come as you plan! PS. I bet most of you thought I was gonna say I was pregnant, huh?! Nope, not yet!!! Sorry to lead you on though! :)

Thanksgiving 2010

This year we went to Caliente, big surprise! We go there every year. So nice having both of our families there, but since everyone was home it's hard to fit it all in.

He takes after his dad!!! :)

I needed to document this moment. Nick is always good to help, Calvin--sure, but Mark, not so much!!! We made all the boys peel potatoes before they could play games.

My cute sis-in-law Andrea, love her!!

Linda, Andrea's daughter Madison and Hunter

Grandpa and Reag getting the eggs

Hunter LOVED this, but Uncle Justin had to keep steering for him! He's a good uncle!

Pretty much this is what the boys do the whole time. Notice Hunter right in the middle! He's the only boy grandbaby so they're teaching him young!

Holt Family minus Chauncey on his mission

All the grandbabies. Funny story--Hunter was standing up right when he got in and Reagan yells, "Hunter peed! Me-Where?? Reagan-On Madi's arm!!" Oh wow, we laughed sooo hard!

Best Buddies (and cousins)

Aviation Nation 2010

One of our most favorite things to do each year is go to Aviation Nation at the Air Force Base. We always have a great time watching the amazing shows and the kids love it too!
