St. George Flood of 2010

The rain won't stop! It has been raining for 5 straight days and the you can definetely tell here in Southern Utah. I just took a couple pictures while I was out today and thought I would share them with you!
This picture is taken off of riverside drive. There is usually little to no water in this canal and today the water was rushing!

Here are some pretty waterfalls off of the red mountain in Ivins.

Let the holidays begin!

Mia and her gumdrop snowman she made at Lin's (a local grocery store) for their kids club. This is right before she tore it apart to eat it...I am glad I got one cute picture!

Jon, Mia, and me with our gingerbread house we made at Jon's parents house!

The gingerbread house village. All the gingerbread houses that Jon's family made!

Mia and Jon putting together a cedar table that Mia's great grandparents made just for her!

Me, Jon, and Beckett
We were asked to be Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus for the relief society progressive dinner this year. It was a neat experience. It is nice to feel the spirit around this special time of year. I hope that all of us can feel the spirit of christ this christmas season!

Happy Birthday Dylan!

It was a lot of fun to be able to spend Dylan's birthday with him this year. We haven't been able to do that for quite some time. I am glad that Dylan moved closer to us so we could share these special times!

Some random pics!





Here are some cute pictures of Beckett and Mia. They seem to grow bigger everyday! Beckett's official weight at his 2 month check was 14 pounds 11 ounces and he was 24 and 3/4 inches tall! What a chunk!

Fun with friends and Meeting Santa

Mia and Lilli waiting in line to see Santa!

Mia and her friends in the ice cream truck at the mall!

We went with a group of friends and their kids to the mall to meet Santa. Mia was so excited to sit on Santa's lap and tell  him what she wants. This is the first year that she hasn't cried about Santa. It was so cute to see her hop right on his lap and ask for a tea set. Beckett didn't mind Santa a bit! This Christmas should be a blast because Mia is so excited!!!

Ward Christmas Party

We had a great time at our ward christmas party this year. The food was great and the program was so fun! They did a mix of the grinch who stole christmas story with the story of the birth of jesus. It was a great way to get into the christmas mood and spirit!

Beckett and Michael

Remember the first picture of Beckett meeting Michael? Well they were about the same size- now Beckett looks like a giant compared to him!!! This picture made me laugh! I love my chunky little boy!
