Well, a couple of weeks ago we went out to Florida to visit my parents!  It was such a wonderful trip...especially when we trade in snow for sun!!!  We loved spending time at Grandma and Grandpa's and it was so nice for the kids to spend endless hours outdoors!! We have been home for 2 weeks now and already wanting to go back!!! :)  Too bad it is so far away!  

SIESTA KEY BEACH

Their favorite place! 

Saying bye to Papa!

Kaylin and Dax loved the beach, but we ended up spending most of the days in the backyard! All the kids wanted to do was play in Grandma and Papa's pool and hot tub! We seriously spent about 5- 6 hours out there everyday!!  It was fabulous!!  They also loved going on daily golf cart rides around the neighborhood!  Thanks mom and dad for everything!!!

Well, it has taken me forever to finally post these last pictures from the holidays!  So here it is...months late! :)

New Year's with the Clevelands!!! 

Great Grandma Pretzie!

Kaylin dressing up in my boots and hat!  She loves to wear her sundresses...even if it is December!!  

So this is my VERY favorite thing right now!!  This is how Dax folds his arms to say a prayer!  He puts his little hands in a fist and places them under his chin, then puts his head down!  Not real sure where he got it from, but we love it!!!

Bowling with the Stout Family!

Kaylin's Christmas dance recital!  It was so cute to see all of these girls dancing!!!  Kinda funny story:  They had these big stockings that they would get in and out of as part of the dance and  in one section they lay them down on the floor so they can slide back into them.  Anyway, Kaylin had to make sure hers was perfectly flat...not a corner turned over!  She spent a lot of the dance "fixing" her stocking and the girls next to her!   The teacher came over and started to help her finish faster so she could join back in!  Not too surprising if you know KK's personality!!  Breton and I were dying!!! :)

Well this last month has been pretty busy with all of the holidays! We spent Christmas and New Year's in California with Breton's family and had such a fun time!!! The weather in Utah is snowy and cold so it was nice to get away for a little while! So here is a little recap of our last month! :)

Kaylin's 1st Day of Primary! Seriously, where does the time go?!!!

Making cupcakes with Ashlee and Alicia...it snowed for a full 24 hours!

CHRISTMAS

Kaylin loved her Hannah Montana outfit, hair, and microphone! I think she wore it for 3 days straight!! :)

My parents got the kids this fun Escalade car!!! They LOVED it...too bad our street is covered in snow!

Christmas morning at Grandma and Papa Stout's!!

Making a Gingerbread house with her cousin Keith!

Dax and Papa!

We went up to Chico to visit Amber, Todd, and the boys! We went over to the park and attempted to take a family picture! As you can tell...it didn't go too well!!! :) However, I did get a few cute ones of the kiddos!!

So last week we had our Annual Christmas Turtleneck Party...It is always so fun to see everyone's outfits so I thought I would post a picture of each couple! (I forgot to get a group shot!)  Anyway, it was lots of fun and everyone "accessorized" very well!!! :)

Temple Lights, Christmas Outfits, and Gateway...

We went to see the lights at Temple Square last weekend and of course they are all so amazing!  The kids were a little (actually a lot) on edge and sometimes I wonder why we even do it...but I guess in the end it is all worth it?!!!!
