A new addition to our family

On Wednesday Dec. 3 Cody became Foster Parents to a 13 year old girl Named Hailey. She has been wonderful so far and a new experience for the both of us. However we have only had her for about a week now so ask me in about a month and I might say something different. I have learned that the 12 years before the teenage years are to prepare you for whats to come. I haven't dealt with teenagers for a while and everything has changed so much. Like the style of clothing to the music they she listens to. but I am learning it is not all bad. It is just going to take some patience on mine and her part as we learn together.

My First Thanksgiving with Paityn


We spent all of thanksgiving with family. We go from Codys Parents house to my parents. and it is a full day of turkey. This year was a very special and memorable. It was Paityn and Miridyan first taste of turkey. and both grandparents had a day full of fun. Both girls are mobile and into everything. From grandpas cars to magnets on the fridge. Paityn loved turkey and greenbeans and her favorite was mashed potatoes. Every year from here on out I know is going to be more eventful then the last. After dinner grandma decided that they had to have their christmas pajamas, well one of the millions of pairs that she had bought, so they could wear them all month long. (and probably into January as well). Thank You everyone for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Christmas is Alomost Here!!!

So alot has happened between now and the last time I posted. In the end of November St. George has the Festival of Trees and My mom, Kennon, Maggie and I took the two girls to see the christmas tress. They loved every minute of it,
Well almost all of it!!! Paityn was ok at first but then Miridyan started to cry and so Paityn thought that she should and Now Santa is only ok at a distance. But I hated santa for a long time too.
