A Night Out

Last night Ryan and I went with my siblings to get chinese dinnner and to see I Am Legend. I was a big fan of dinner, but not so much of the movie. It wasn't really what I expected, I didn't know it was a zombie movie! Regardless, though, it was a lot of fun getting together. For Christmas we decided to give gifts to each other that we could all use to go out and do something fun as a family. We had January, so we gave out movie tickets. My bro Matt and his wife Misty have February and so we'll get to rally together again and do something fun that they've come up with. I thought it was a great idea that my sister-in-law had, so that the gift itself is fun and we get to go enjoy it all together!

Tagged - 10 Favorite Pics

My friend Justina tagged me with a fun one! I'm supposed to choose 10 favorite pictures, which is impossible because first, I unfortunately don't have all my favorite pics on my digital camera to post on the computer, and second, I have too many favorites that surely exceed the number ten! But these are a few of my fav...

Ryan and I in the airplane on our way to NYC for a two week trip of pure fun!

This is me with Noah during his chunky days, so fun!

I love this pic of Noah flashing a little grin

Noah at his 2nd birthday party that was all CARS. I can't get enough of his cheesy, most adorable smile!

Jaxon flashing his handsome smile for the camera. He will laugh and smile for anyone and anything- I love it.

Noah being the cutest big brother! These guys are the best buds.

This is one of our favorite smiles of Noah in his highchair.

I love how much Noah looks like Ry! You'd think the dark hair and eyes are more dominant, but I have been proven wrong, the Burts genes are even more!


I now tag Lindsey Forrest, Lacy Swinyard & Annie Osmond
Your turn to each tag three more people!

Our Beloved Prophet

It is bittersweet learning the passing of our loving prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley. We were sad to hear of his death, but felt happy as we thought of the joyous reunion with his sweetheart. He led such an amazing life, having an impact on so many people all over the world. What an example he was to us all! President Hinckley has been the prophet for most of what I can remember. Some memories I have of him that I will never forget include, his passion for building so many temples all around the world, the little squeak in his voice, his vast vocabulary during talks, a constant positive attitude , etc. With him now on the other side of the veil, I can't help but think of the picture of Christ hugging a man and the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." President Hinckley left here a legacy that will always be remembered by all who knew and loved him. Our hearts go out to his family and the leaders of our church, he will be greatly missed!

SLEDDING!

The other day we went sledding with the boys. It was so fun, especially
because it was Jax's very first time- he loved it! We had a blast playing
in all the snow we got!

Kids Say The Darndest Things!

Now that Noah is talking more and more it is so fun to hear what he is going to say next! Lately he has loved saying prayers. He can say most of it by himself, but still needs a little help. Well the other night he didn't need so much help. I guess he is starting that phase where he wants to bless everyone and everything, including Santa Clause, the salt, Grandma Jean, lights, baby Jesus and the list goes on.
Also Noah comes with me and the sunbeams to singing & sharing time and we have been learning I Am A Child Of God. As I was putting him to bed the other night, I started humming it and all of a sudden he starts singing the chorus in his own little version which goes: "Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the 'wake up'..." It is great listening to little ones with their big imaginations!
