I'm Back!

I'm back! Sorry for the little break. Last week I tried to catch up on my blog and I was having trouble uploading my pictures. Uhhh! I was so frustrated.

Hooray! It's fixed and can't wait to share what's been going on in our lives since Christmas.  

 

Yesterday, Danny painted Allie's nails for her before night service

...what a sweet big brother! I'm so glad I captured that moment!

Check out some past posts I just published...

Visit from Aunt Tori

We have been so blessed to have a special visit from Aunt Tori!

We were at the airport to greet her...Rob and Allie dressed in their special cowboy and cowgirl outfits to welcome her to our part of the country!

We've had so much fun cooking dinner, going to the gym-getting special training from Josh, and simply hanging out at home. A highlight was taking a cooking class together at Sur La Table on Saturday night. We made six different things! We are going to try out our new skills and recipes Tuesday night. 

Allie turned 6!

We were able to celebrate Allie's birthday a few days early with Grandpa 
and Grandma Fish in our hotel room at Bible Conference

On our drive home we stopped for lunch and asked 
Allie where she wanted to eat...Wendy's!

The next day after Sunday service we had a 
birthday party.

She set up her babies on the couch so they could be
a part of the festivities!

I think Rob is taking up photography just like his mom ;)

Then I had fun trying to take a picture of everyone...

Love these kids!!

Bible Conference

Josh and I haven't been able to go to one of our Bible conferences in January for a couple years. I'm so thankful we were able to go this year. We took the kids, and they sat through almost all of the services with us. Like us, they were challenged to live for God. We're so glad they had the chance to hear pastors testify of what God is doing in churches all over the world and to hear many of them preach. We want them to see that God is moving
not only in Utah, but around the world. 

Also, we were so happy to have our friends (that used to pastor here in Utah) that are overseas now in Bolivia over for lunch before the conference. 

here are few pics from our conference week...lunch time!

Christmas 2012

Christmas has already come and gone. It happens so fast.

We had a very special day celebrating Christmas together as a family! 

Then we ate our special Christmas morning breakfast...Josh made 
homemade cinnamon rolls. They were amazing!

Then we whisked off to church for our annual Christmas morning service, and then home again for our Christmas dinner...Josh and I did all of this cooking! We have an incredible appreciation for our wonderful mothers!

Oh...and right before Christmas we were excited to find out 
that Markell and Brandie are having a little girl!

Aliyah Rose Taylor arrives this May!
I had fun shopping for some Christmas presents for her...

Post Christmas fun...making soda to drink with Rob's new Tasty Science kit!
