Holidays
It's that time of year again!! YEAH!! We made our annual Gingerbread houses (out of graham crackers) with my inlaws this past friday...SO FUN! I think this has been the first year that I felt like I knew what I was doing....The kids all did so awesome too! Big Baby just ate the candy and didnt really show an interest in wanting to do one (phew!)so just the older kids did one...we yet have decided where to put them. We are really excited for Christmas this year! We are going to start a few new traditions with the kids.. The first one is to go to Thanksgiving Point for the lights and maybe a carriage ride... the second I want to start is sleeping under (or right by) the christmas tree, reading books on Christs birth and other christmas stories a few days before christmas. Every year we have always gone to see the lights at Temple square as well, but this year we are going to start taking our own hot chocolate to walk around with.. (because my family is getting so large!)...It hasnt snowed too much yet this year but we love to go sledding when it does..so that I think will always be one of our traditions as well!...maybe not for me though this year because of this massive belly I have :)

Updates
According to my little sister Jessica, I need to blog. Pulling up my blog and seeing snowflakes was actually pretty refreshing due to I already think it is getting to warm outside haha!
Lets see we have moved AGAIN (I know stop already!), but we needed something bigger with all our kids and something not on a busy street. We are actually renting a home from one of our old friends in our first neighborhood that we lived in for about 6 years! It's so fun to be back in our original ward and with all our old friends, and of course the many friends for the kids too!. Our home is AMAZING!! the yard is HUGE and it is at the top of a circle which is so nice when you have kids! We never have to worry about the kids riding their bikes.
We kept the kids in their old school until the new school year so we have to drive them everyday, such a pain lol. They just went back on track and get off in about 2 1/2 weeks for the summer!~ WOOT!
We have already got a camping trip in this summer too! It was soo fun! I just wish I would have taken some pics! The problem is the more kids you have the less you take cause you are either A: to tired or B: forgot the camera...Anyway, we went with my in-laws up to the American Fork Canyons for 3 nights..we roasted lots of marshmallows and made lots and lots of dutch oven goodness! I love camping with my family! so much fun for the kids!
Matt's classes are getting a little tougher so we decided to have him drop work and just do 1 day a week at the pharmacy and I went back to work FULL time! (STAB ME WITH A FORK IN THE EYE) The one good thing about going full time with my company though is that I get to work from home!! So SO SO SO nice! I love that I can take my breaks with my kids and hubbs and I can eat healthy stuff all day long!! I only have to go into the building 1 or 2 times a month AWESOME!!
Matt just got a new calling this last week....Young Mens president..cough..cough...so much for all his free time eh! He is really excited though and has just jumped right in! He is going to take the summer semester now so that he can get into the groove of things with the calling..I figure though since he still has about 4 years of school left whats another semester right haha! anyway he is an amazing man and I am so happy that he takes on every calling that he is given!!
Lets see im sure there is sooo many more things that have happened in the lst 6 months but my brain is a little fried!
