Happy 30th Birthday Josh

Okay okay, I know I am WAY behind on this, but it really has been so crazy the last few months that I have not even posted my sweet husbands 30th birthday party! His birthday was in November, but better late than never... I thought I would pay tribute to the most amazing and important man in my life and him reaching the 30 year marker. In thinking about what I could do for him, I knew I had to do something BIG and make a fuss because he is always so private and shy about events such as this. So I decided the best way to do that would be to surprise him with a party where a few of his closest friends and family could share in this special day too! It turned out SOOOOO great and the best part was he never suspected a thing! He was so caught off guard and surprised... it was GREAT! We had a nice dinner and conversation with many important people in his life! I also decided the best way to embarrass him would be to do a "roast" in his honor (and horror) which was not a let down. There were great stories shared and funny memories reminisced on and everyone did great. But I must say, hands down, his friend Chris did the most amazing job. His roast included hand outs with pictures he had created... it was hilarious. Hopefully I can post it and you can all share in the laugh that we had! I think everyone there learned something new about Josh that night. :) All in all it was a very fun night and a great birthday for my sweet hubby! Josh, I love you more than life and I am so grateful to be married to such an amazing husband and father. We have shared A LOT of memories together and I look forward to the many many many more to come! Happy 30th Birthday BABE!

I also included my little Savanna in on the cake... we didn't do a family party for her birthday because I was doing this. She was so proud to have everyone sing to her too and she LOVED the cake!

GO UTES!

My family is major University of Utah fans. My dad, my brother- in- law and myself have all graduated from the U and my little sister is currently attending school there... so you can imagine the fun night we had watching the Sugar Bowl. We got all decked out in our U of U outfits and had a great time watching the big game. GO UTES!!!

Chrsitmas 2008

Merry Christmas! We have had an eventful Christmas this year but the best part has been having my sister and her kids here. I have really not enjoyed them living in Tennessee these past 3 years but I am grateful they were able to come here for 3 weeks! Savanna has played and played with her cousins and really enjoyed having playmates here in "her domain!" It was pretty sickening to see how much Santa, parents, and grandparents ,spoiled all the kids... I swear they just kept opening and opening gifts! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

Park City

So for the past year, my parents have been remodeling their 2nd home up in Park City. It is soooo close to being done and we are so excited to be able to go up there and relax and just have fun. We ran up there the other day to check the progress and Savanna and "her boys" went outside in the freezing snow. I snapped this picture real fast and I absolutely love it! Savanna LOVES Jaxon and Dakota and she will miss them very much when they leave!

I just love her new hat and so does she!

Christmas Brunch

Every year our family goes to Willow Creek Country Club to have their annual Christmas Sunday Brunch and this year was no different. We had such a good time seeing the Kimball side of the family. It has been SO MUCH FUN having my sister and her family here from Tennessee too. Here are some really fun pictures of them in their cute Sunday/Christmas outfits.

Temple Square

Ever since I was a little girl, I can remember going with my family to see the lights at temple square... and I want my kids to have the same memory. So we packed up and bundled up and headed to see the beautiful Christmas lights. We had such a good time and it was actually very warm which made it even more enjoyable. Savy kept saying "cool lights" and loved everything there. It was so much fun to be a mom and watch my baby girl get so excited, like I used to, over such a simple thing as lights. Thanks to my mom for coming with us and sharing in this very fun memory with us!

Train fun

Josh and I decided to put a train around our big Christmas tree this year. Savanna LOVES trains and has loved having this one around the tree. I apparently am not aloud to touch the train, seeing has how every time I do, it derails and Josh has to fix it. Poor Savy has to wait for her daddy to get home until she can even turn the darn thing on! Anywho, I took these pictures and just smile every time I look at them!

Festival of Trees

This year I was privileged to have a few of my students to preform at Festival of Trees. They did SOOOO good. I was so proud and just in awe of how great they did. My good friend Ashleigh started a dance studio and needed some "filler" numbers between her cute girls and I was more than happy to bring my 3 oldest students. Way to go guys! Savanna also loved the trees... we had a lot of fun with just the 2 of us walking around and admiring the hard work and dedication put into the trees.

Tennessee

In October, yes I said October,(sorry it took so long to get pics) Savanna and I were able to go to Tennessee along with my parents and little sister to visit my older sister while she had her 4th child. We were all so excited to be able to go and be apart of this wonderful experience. We have all been there for every other child birth so you would know that moving 1000 miles across the country was not about to stop us this time! We had such a great time and really enjoyed just being able to hang out with everyone and help Aubrey with her new addition to her family. Breven Memphis Ewing was born October 17, 2008 and weighed 7lb 9oz 21 3/4in. He is so darn cute and it really got me in the spirit to have a little boy in 12 weeks... that's right folks, I only have 12 weeks left! YAY! There were A TON of pictures but these were a few of my favorite!
