Bret's Bechtel Christmas Dinner, I felt like Cinderella

Every winter we have a formal dinner to attend for Bret's Company, Bechtel Bettis. This year I got all gussied up and had fun doing it. I curled my hair for an hour!!!! I haven't dont that for a few hundred years. Do I need to remind you of how crazy I am about my husband? Teee....... notice the foot....:)

I opped to put in this picture of him looking up as opposed to the 10 of him looking down.....

We took these at home after we got home, the streamers are for Jessies bday party that would be held the next day. I love this dress on me, it was a little low in the front tho....

Happy 6th birthday to our little Jessie bear!!!

How does a girl acquire 18 my little ponies in 2 hours? She invites 10 girlfriends, and 2 of her older brothers cutest friends to a "My little pony party!!" Man did she score.

She had a loose tooth she really wanted to lose before her bithday. She prayed everyday that it would happen, and just like the prayers work, the night before her birthday her first little tooth came out. I love how little testimonies grow.

Her party was so much fun, friends of ours have minature horses, the vary from about 24inches to about 36 inches! They are very strong and trained to pull pony carts, her friends and her had so much fun taking turns riding in the cart. We love you so much little J, you are a ball of determination and smiles, coated with a perfect topping of freckles :)

Sweet 16 and never been kissed?????!

Happy 16th to our oldest son Austin, we are super excited for him, he's a great teen and we love spending time with him! We really shocked his shorts off w/ a surprise party, a ton of friends, great food and I invented a texting game! They all loved it. One friend of his I saw after the party told me how refreshing and innocent the party was, how sick she is of going to parties w/ alcohol. Hmm, yep even in Idaho. Austin now has his liscence and his Dad and I LOVE not having to keep up with his busy schedule. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON WE LOVE YOU!!!
