Kelsey and Trevor Get Married!

February 19th, 2011 my darling cousin Kelsey was married to Trevor Slade. It was a great day, and we are so happy for this wonderful couple. Kelsey and Trevor are some of my kid's favorite people, they are a fun extenstion to our family, and we appreciate all they do to help us out. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple, and even though it was a very rainy day, it was wondeful!

The girls were SOOOO excited to be flower girls. A big thank you to Kelsey for including them in her big day.

And because of the festivities we got to have Grandma and Papa as well as Corey, Jess, Colin and Mason come stay with us, which is always fun!

Brynn gets Baptized!

New Years Day! What a wonderful to spend the New Year, watching sweet little Brynn be baptized. She was so excited for this day, and other than her mom being five minutes late, I think it turned out to be a great day. In fact going to bed that night, she said she was hoping the day had been a dream so that she could do it again. She was baptized with a very sweet boy named Mark Seamons. She had a lot of family there to support her including Uncle Corey and Aunt Jess from St. George. She asked Aunt Katie to give the talk on Baptisim, and it was a wonderful talk geared perfectly towards the kids getting baptized. Afterwards everyone came to our house for a brunch. It was VERY cold...like 9 degrees that morning, but it was a really nice day! Brynn and her Daddy!

Our family.

The whole gang of people who came to show Brynn their love and support!

Brynn turns 8!

I can't believe my little Brynnie is already 8! Boy how time flies. Brynn was celebrated multiple times, and enjoyed them all! She is such a sweetheart...most of the time. I'm so grateful to have her as my daughter, and for the entertainment she brings each day! A little party with the Hickman family on Christmas! She was so excited to get the Taylor Swift album! At Grandma Keet and Papa TK's on the 27th, with the Kilpatrick Family!

Complete with a cousin sleepover that night...how many girls can fit in one little room!

Christmas is Park City!

This year for the Hickman Christmas, we decided to rent a condo in Park City and ski and just hang out. It turned out to be a very fun and relaxing Christmas. We had a lot of quailty family time, and I'm pretty sure everyone got what they wanted... and then some!

Reading the letter from Santa

Lucy was so excited Santa brought her pillow pet!

Kelsey loved her "dollie" which she named "pooh bear"...no idea where that came from!

Mary got the award for best reaction...she was so excited about her camera from Santa!

Brynn was SO excited about her Zhu-Zhu pet from Grandma and Papa!

Christmas celebrations begin!...the Cousin party!

Every year the Kilpatrick cousins draw names for Christmas, and then we have a little Christmas party at Grandma's and exchange gifts. December 18th this year, and we made candy cane cookies, hair flowers, and just had fun playing around and opening the first gift of the season.

Look at that face! What is she so grumpy about?

Brynn's 2nd Grade Program!

On December 6th the 2nd grade preformed their "Friendship Program". Brynn had a speaking part and did an excellent job on it...loud and clear. The songs were very cute and it was a very good program.

Mary Turns 10!

Mary turned 10 on November 3rd. I can't believe I have a kid in double digits!! She is a great kid though, she is very helpful and has a good attitude...most of the time! What a wonderful day it was 10 years ago when I became a mother - I'm so grateful for that blessing! Sadly I was a bad camera mom around her birthday and this is the only picture I have! This is on her actual birthday doing cake and ice cream. She also had a family party and friend party...just no pictures of them!
