Holly Turns 32!!!!!!!!!

Well the time of year of the good old birthday has come and gone. I am one year older. 32 I can't beleive it. I feel so old. I had a great birthday this year. I flew home for the weekend, just me no kids. I had a great time with my family. I got to eat at all the cool places that Colorado does not have. On my birthday I went to lunch with by friend Jeni and the girls, we then went and did some shopping and when Rusty got off work we took the kids to The Bass Pro Shop to see santa and to eat there. They have great food. We then came home for cake and icecream. Rusty made me a cake, I know crazy and then we opened presents. Tyler gave me perfume, Rusty gave me a garlic press(original I know), Madison gave me a new alarm clock and Mia gave me a bluetooth for my cell phone. I am truely loved. I have a great family and great friends.

I am posting a picture of what the girls made Rusty and I for christmas. It was so cute. Their hand prints are so cute and little.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are off to Memphis for christmas.

Oh I almost forgot. We have a new member to our family. His name is OJ. Our other kitty Toby was attacked by an animal so after a few months and some mice issues we decided to get a new kitty. We went to the animal shelter and picked him out. He is an Orange tabby. He is so cute. I hope he can hunt mice well.

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

So it is that time of year again. The tree is up we do lots of baking and listen to christmas songs. The kids have enjoyed making yummy treats and trimming the tree. This time of year we always try to think of what we are thankful for. I am thankful for a loving family and friends. This year has been a tough one for me. I have had to deal with a lot and try to understand things. My husband and my family and friends were there to lend a helping hand. I want to thank you all for your love and support for me. I know that I am suppose to be here today and that I have a great family and a husband and children that love and need me. Rusty has been a great support to me this year. I love him very much and I am glad that I am married to him for eternity. I am grateful for my knoweledge of the gospel and know for a fact that Heavenly Father loves all of us and watches over us. I also know that there are family members who have passed on that are there and watching over us like guardian angels. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church and with out it I don't know were I would be. I am grateful for my family and for my friends. I have made some very good friends here in Colorado that I will have for the rest of my life. I love you and you know who you are. I am posting some pictures of the kids that we took for our christmas cards. Enjoy and everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Just a quick update. We went to Utah for Thanksgiving and surprised my family. I think they all enjoyed the visit. I love going home for Thanksgiving especially when it is down at my aunt's house in Moroni. We always have so much fun. We are heading to Tennesse for Christmas to spend time with Rusty's parents. We are so excited and so are the kids. We get to see their new house!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rusty and I will also celebrate our 11th Anniversary on the 19th. I love you Rusty..... I am also turning 32 on the 16th. I feel so old. Well enjoy the pictures.

Happy Halloween 2009

So this last weekend we had our ward family trunk o treat and chili cookoff. We had so much fun. The girls love their costumes and wear them all day long. Mia is Belle and Madison is Snow White and Tyler is a Clone from Star Wars. Grandma Griffin is in town for a few weeks. We went to a pumpkin patch and saw some animals and picked a pumpkin. We had a lot of fun. We all hope you have a great Halloween. Enjoy the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pony Party!!!!!!!

My neice Jessica turned 8 on Saturday and she had a pony party. It was so much fun. These people brought three horses a minature pony and two other horses. They give you rides and they paint your faces and do balloons. It was a lot of fun. The girls totally love horses so they were in heaven. We had a great time. Happy Birthay Jessica!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the pictures.

Gone Fishing

So Rusty and Tyler went fishing on Saturday up in the mountains. They took some friends with them and they spent the day fishing. Tyler caught two fish. He had three but lost one while Rusty was trying to get it hooked. So his friend Dillon gave him one of his fish. They had tons of fun. Tyler really had a great time fishing and having some dad time. So enjoy the pictures.

We got a Piano!!!!!

So I found a piano on craigslist that was free and we had a friend moving so we used his truck. We got it today. The kids love it. I am going to start Tyler in lessons very soon. So enjoy the pictures.

Bad Day

Well today I took a trip to Costco with the girls and the other little girl that I watch. I had three 3 year olds. That was fun let me tell you. We had a good time, the girls love to go shopping. Well I was getting ready to leave and I started to back up and Bam, another car and I collided. We backed into each other. Her car did not get any damage. Mine on the other hand was damaged. Not to much but enough. I have to get a new bumper and a new back door. Oh well, the girls asked me what the bang was and I told them. I got pretty emotional and started to cry, the girls were like are you okay. I said I was fine. They were such good sports through the whole thing. Here are some pictures of the damage to my car.
