Disneyland

The hole big Hawkins fam. took a trip to Disneyland this last January and it was so much fun. Katie was at the time absolutely abscessed with mickey mouse so it was perfect timing she didn't however like the fact that she wasn't the only princes in the place. Brig loved space mountain and when we asked Logan what his favorite part was he said the toys...... mmmm I think he liked more then that. but the hole trip for me was made on the last night when just me and Brig went out. we watched the firer works ( which where so beautiful) and just had our self a little date I loved it but I think we may have staid up just a little to late for Brig as you can see on his face in our picture.

Chrismas 09

I think Christmas is so much more fun as a parent. There is nothing like seeing the excitement on your child's face come Christmas morning. Aside from Katie's bike that Kris had latterly spent 3 hours the night before putting it to gather only to have to find out that the day after Christmas we would have to take it back because it really didn't work that well. But it was all Worth it to see Katie's smile. The joy of another story to tell.

I don't really have a picture of it but for Christmas this last year Kris's family had a talent show. Logan wanted to sing We Wish You A Merry Christmas but had his own added word to the song and sang " We wish you a merry Christmas ear" over and over. we think his teacher when teaching him the song may have cupped her hand over her ear in order for them to sing louder and he thought she wanted them to say ear. Any how it was funny. Brig played the piano jingle bells I think but my favorite part was when he decided he wanted to bare his testimony. It was so beautiful and simple. it brought tears to my eyes I was so happy that he knew the things he said that he knew that Jesus loves him.

fall leaves

To me there is nothing like the smell of fall leaves. It brings me back to my child hood of growing up in Utah and Washington st. and playing in the leaves. we would rake the leaves into leaf piles and jump in them stuff our coats with them and pretend we were munchkins or we would just throw them up in the air.

That's going to leave a mark

Logan kicked Katie in the head while he was swinging. I heard her crying and went out side only to see blood steaming sown Katie's face and Logan just swinging away. she's a tough girl with a high pain tolerance. as soon as i lifted her up she stopped crying as if nothing had happened and in my head i thought OK Katie but blood is still streaming down your face. sweet baby girl.

BRIG’S BITHDAY

Brig requested a Lego birthday party. We had about 14 or 15 kids there and Kris had to work late so i was super happy that my sister in law Kira decided to say and help and she was a big help. In all reality I think this was probably the most fun we have ever had with a party the kids had a blast an d Brig seamed as if he was having the time of his life.

Brigs had his 6th birthday November 1st. Wow he is such an amazing kid i love him so much. I see so much of what I love about myself in him and that makes me feel special because he is such a remarkable boy. He is one of the few people in my life that i can laugh so hard with that i almost pee my pants and it doest even have to be that funny. The other day he slipped off of our ottoman and fell and the look on his face when he terned to look back at me sent us both into a roaring laugh and we didn't stop for a good 15 min.
