Our Family
This is a blog about our family. My journal of our adventures. We're just trying to do our best raising 2 crazy kids (or maybe we're the crazy ones). Eight years of marriage under our belts, and still lots of new adventures and surprises on this road called life.


In loving memory of my mom- Kathleen Nelson Higgins May 11, 1954-December 29, 2008. She is my warrior and I wear pink in honor of her.

Thanksgiving Weekend

*Thanksgiving Day*
Thanksgiving was good this year, as always. My Aunt JoAnn and her family, along with my cousin Quinn and her family came to Coalville. It felt like old times. It was relaxed and fun. We kept the midnight shopping tradition and over eating alive. The boys stayed busy watching guy movies and playing pool. We had a good time.
"Happy Thanksgiving, we want turkey!"

Max was busted by Aunt Jessica sneaking Jello and whipped cream from the dessert table. He couldn't have been more happy and it shows.
*Lights at Temple Square*
To round off a fun few days, my dad, Jessica, and my family went to dinner at the Gateway then to temple square to see the lights. It was a nice night, the lights were great, and it was a good way to start the holiday season.
Grampy and the kids on Trax.

Grace standing by the Christus. She loved seeing all the starts painted around the room, so much so in fact I couldn't get her to smile standing in front of Jesus. Oh well, it's a good thing she appreciates the beauties of the world too.

Jessica and Floyd.

Once again, the kids were too busy looking at lights to say cheese.

*This year's Ginger Bread House*
Nearly impossible to assemble with a 17 month old boy who loves candy and crawling on top of the table. Luckily Grace is patient and didn't mind too much and she did a great job decorating.
Thanks Aunt Charity for the Ginger bread house kit!

  1. Looks like fun. I'm glad you guys had fun. Max's smile just cracks me up, he knows he shouldn't be doing something and does it anyway. Reminds me a Jonah!
